About the site

On the edge of the Wolds Way trail, a 20 minute drive from the town of Beverley, this site is all about fresh air and family fun. Days out don't come much easier than strolling next door, where the kids can have the run of a multi-award-winning adventure play. Children will love exploring here, jumping streams indoors, navigating bridges, climbing trees, making sand and water creations, den building and much more, both outside and in! Plus grown ups can join in too, whatever the weather, or sit back and unwind with a drink in the coffee shop. Pitch up in your perfect spot with the freedom to choose your own 8m x 8m pitch area. You can choose between either camping only or the site's 'Pitch Up and Play' option, which includes all-day access to William's Den Adventure Play attraction. Tents, trailer tents, campervans and tourers are all welcome. Turn up and 'pick-your-own-pitch' at this huge off-grid campsite with plenty of open space so you can enjoy finding your own perfect spot to sleep under the stars and get back to nature. For that authentic camping experience, BBQs are welcome, along with fire pit hire from the site, so you can enjoy that perfect evening cooking out in the open. Friendly dogs are welcome at the campsite and you can treat them to their own play area next door to the campsite (the dog exercise facility can be pre-booked in advance). Please be aware that dogs are not allowed to enter William's Den play attraction areas and must be supervised at all times on the campsite, but there's plenty of access to lovely dog friendly walks and footpaths to keep them happy.

The site is open between 23rd May and 1st June and for the summer between 22nd July and 1st September.

A note from the site themselves...

One day, while hosting a birthday party for our son William we had an idea. Hearing the shrieks of joy from him and his friends as they relished the freedom and space to play and camp outside, we realised all kids needed these wide open spaces where their imaginations could run wild. Wouldn't it be great if we could create a playscape and campsite for others to enjoy and connect with nature?

So we opened William's Den, an award-winning attraction with indoor and outdoor adventure play and a natural campsite close by. It encompasses everything we enjoyed in our childhood and all the things we think others should experience as they're growing up too.

We have wide-open spaces and wonderful views at William's Den for everyone to explore to their heart's content and connect with nature - think Bear Grylls meets Enid Blyton. Kids can run wild, enjoy water and sand play, climb wooden structures, whizz on zip wires and spend hours building dens from scratch.

So enjoy camping under the stars and making memories with your kids that will last a lifetime! We can't wait to welcome you, Tor and Christian Carver (Owners William's Den).
