Campsite view

Set close to the small market town of Kirkbymoorside, known locally as the Gateway to the Moors, this attractive site is within parkland and based along the edge of the North York Moors. Ideally placed for pubs, cafes and more - you can catch the Moors bus and access the whole of North Yorkshire, taking in York and the county's heritage coastline. Handy for Pickering and the steam railway. Within 20 minutes of Castle Howard and Flamingo Land!

Had a lovely 4 day stay here,the weather helped. A lovely site, although it didn't have toilet and shower but we had our own anyway. We didn't get to meet the owner as she was away,but communicated with me via txt with information and directions to the site. A nice touch on the pitch was a wallet with information and walks in the area.

Lovely stay

We booked this site at the last minute and the owner could not have been more helpful. The site is perfect for a few days of peace and quiet. Only five pitches, all facing the open pasture with sheep and lambs in season. No toilet or showers, so suited to caravans and motorhomes. Walking distance to Kirkbymoorside with shops, bars etc. As others have said, Jayne could not be more welcoming. Fabulous place, where we will definitely return for a longer break.

Single Axle Caravan - Large Gravel Touring PitchOct 2023

Greeted by Jayne on arrival, we were able to choose which pitch we wanted. The site is kept immaculately clean with a range of bins for general waste and recycling. We chose the site as it was small (6 pitches) and had basic facilities (no toilet or showers). The only real noise was from the road leading out of the village which was immediately behind the site, but this was quiet at night so not a problem for us, as we were out during the day. Would definitely recommend and be returning in the future.

Arrived on site at bay 3 and unfortunately I could not help my husband put the awning up and this was our first time using a caravan after a number of years, thankfully, the lovely and helpful Jayne (site owner) offered to help and it was up in no time. Our 2 dogs loved it as they could just lay chilling on the grassed area watching the sheep. There is a Co-op and shops about a mile or so walking distance from site so it's perfect. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Thanks Jayne for being so kind.

Site's response

Thank you for your great review. That awning was definitely the blind leading the blind, but we managed eventually :) Look forward to seeing you both again x

Despite not having toilet or shower facilities, this is an excellent little caravan park with a nice atmosphere and nice views of the sheep pasture. The site is well maintained and the owner is helpful and friendly. It is in a good location for visiting the Yorkshire Moors or the East Coast.

Thank you for your lovely review and look forward to seeing you again. Best wishes, Jayne.

Very relaxing, clean caravan park

Lovely little site, with a beautiful view across the fields, ideally placed for walking and within walking distance of Kirbymoorside. A little close to the road which was surprisingly busy at times, but the only time it disturbed us was in the morning, although we spent the majority of our stay out walking. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we will be back.

Thank you for your review and look forward to you visiting again soon. Best wishes, Jayne.

This was our first outing in our OPUS and we could not have picked a better site. It was easy to get to, super friendly and had everything we needed. Jayne was on hand and was lovely. With only 5 pitches it suited us down to the ground and we shall definitely be returning. Thank you!
