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'.

A super second stay!

Mann, Claire - 05/06/2025

We had a wonderful time! The bathrooms were clean and always available when we needed them. Site was well kept and we had pizza from the cafe on Friday night which was enjoyed by all. It is a great base for lots of day trips. We went into Filey and visited the bird and animal park which the kids loved. We also visited nearby North Yorkshire water Park and hired a kayak. We will definitely go back and try some of the other activities that they have on offer.

Absolute Gem

Elliott, Sharron - 30/05/2025

What an absolute gem of a place. The whole site is amazing. Well maintained to perfection. The staff are very accommodating, friendly and helpful.The facilities are the best we have ever encountered when camping. Not only to they have ladies and gents facilities but also a unisex block which when used you literally have your own bathroom cubicle which was actually bigger than my bathroom at home. Lovely little dog wash area and a dog walking field which again is maintained to a high standard.This was our third visit to the site and every time we were impressed and never disappointed.For what you pay, which is very reasonable and what you experience during your stay it is all first class.There is also a shop, cafe and children’s play area which again look spotless but we don’t use these facilities so Connor comment on the experience but they again looked spot on.
