We can facilitate a wide range of camping and touring options including caravans, motorhomes, campervans, trailer tents and tents.

Our 5 star holiday park is owned and run by the Stockdale family. We have been providing touring and camping holidays since 1985. We are a farming family who diversified into tourism and originally opened with 5 caravans in the corner of the field. We have steadily grown over the years into the award winning park that we are today. With continual investment we work hard to ensure our grounds and facilities are kept in tip-top condition so that our guests can have a memorable stay.

Our grassed camping areas at The Vale of Pickering are all level and can accommodate most tent sizes. As well as having camping pitches on the main park we also have an adjoining camping field. Some pitches for tents have electric hook up (6 amp) but these are limited in number. 6 amp hook ups are suitable for low wattage appliances only.

Our spacious all-weather touring pitches are suitable for touring caravans, motor-homes, camper vans and trailer tents up to a maximum length of 27ft. Pitches are level and well drained. We have 2 chemical disposal points and a drive-up motor home waste water point.

We pre-allocate pitches on booking and will always try our best to meet any requests made. Touring pitches have a 10amp electric hook up supply. Some touring pitches overlook the children’s play area and several are close to the shower block. Our centrally heated wash-rooms are situated in a central location within the park.

Our licensed onsite shop is open daily and caters for most needs, stocking basic necessities, children's toys and a small range of caravan and camping equipment. The local butcher supplies us with tasty bacon and sausages and we also stock free range eggs from a local supplier.

Our surrounding area really is 'Gods Own County' and is very special to us. We love to share our knowledge of the local area which in turn helps you to plan your days out to get the most out of the time you spend with us. There really is something for everyone including the coastal towns of Scarborough, Whitby, Filey, Bridlington, the stunning North York Moors and historic market towns of Pickering, Malton and Helmsley.

We have a host of popular attractions nearby including The North York Moors Railway, Dalby Forest, Flamingo Land and Castle Howard to name but a few. We are committed to stocking local produce in our shop and cafe wherever possible supporting our local producers and makers. You will be spoilt for choice when it comes to dining out. Our local village pub The Cayley Arms, Allerston is just 1.25 miles from our park and the Coachman Inn, Snainton is 3 miles from the park offering excellent food and drinks.

We invite you to relax and share with us our 'Happy Place'.

Fantastic first weekend of camping this year

Brook, Lisa - 23/03/2024

We had a lovely weekend at the Vale of Pickering. Ourselves and our family and Friends all thoroughly enjoyed our first weekend away this year. The Vale of Pickering is a beautiful campsite with first class facilities. The cafe is brilliant. We spent so much time enjoying wine, pizzas, breakfast and coffees whilst enjoying catching up. The staff are so friendly and accommodating and the food was delicious. And the best thing was we could bring the dogs in with us! Cannot wait to enjoy another weekend at The Vale of Pickering.

Our Spring Break

Mackintosh-Smith, Chris - 18/03/2024

Weather was typically wet, but the site was level and the gravel pitches well drained. The staff were welcoming, and the directions to the pitch simple, with the clear map provided. The toilet block was spotless, with new fittings. Our only niggle was the dreaded shower button which did not allow long enough before the water shut off. We are looking forward to a return visit, when we can try the cafe.

Goodwin, Mrs Jk - 18/03/2024

On arrival you are met by such friendly people, who are so helpful, you get the impression that nothing would be to much trouble the site is spotless so well kept, with the added bonus of stunning views and easy excess, the shop on site stocks the essentials that you might need, the grounds are maintained to a very high standard, the facilities are spotless, every thing you need are close to hand and every thing has been thought out throughly, there is a large playing area, with a very nice dog walk around the edge, if you want a peaceful place to stay close to moors and coast and local attractions this is the place for you

Lovely site

Shepherdson, Chris - 14/03/2024

Lovely site which is clean, tidy and well looked after. The facilities block is really nice and seems relatively newly renovated. There's a cafe on site which we ordered pizzas from which were spot on - pizza night is on a Friday.One thing I would say is they charge £9 a night for a 2nd car. The 2nd car parks away from your pitch which isn't a bad thing but to charge £9 a night seems very expensive. We just parked our 2nd car down the road from the site for free. If the charge was less we would most probably pay and have it on site.

Thank you for your review Chris and great to hear that you had a lovely stay. Just to let you know that the charge for a 2nd car in the car park is £4.50 per night not £9.00 per night.

Great site with absolutely brilliant facilities. Great welcome and plenty to do in surrounding area. I would however suggest that the option to choose your own pitch be introduced as we would have liked to have been closer to the facilities.
