Vale of Pickering Caravan Park

4.8 (416 reviews)

Since 1985, we have provided keen campers and outdoor enthusiasts with a well kept, family run and top quality caravan park. With its panoramic views, our site is generously planted with trees, shrubs, flower beds and hanging baskets. 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'.

An excellent, well managed site in a good location.

Vyvyan, Mike - 03/05/2024

The site immediately gives the impression of being well managed. The grounds and all facilities are clearly set out and everywhere is clean. The toilet and shower facilities are exceptional, especially for families or those with disabilities. We enjoyed our visit to the cafe and were served by very helpful staff. We only wished it had been serving food on other days. The site is very flat and pitches easily accommodate a caravan and awning or as in our case a motorhome and car. The site is clearly a mecca for caravaneers and is well designed to meet their needs. As a motorhome user I would appreciate the MH service point being upgraded to provide a much larger dumping grid for waste water, more in the centre of the area.. A further improvement would be to have a tap on the side of the area rather than where it is currently located. Minor issues that would just make things easier. Overall an excellent site and we will be using it again. A great location for touring the surrounding area

Nice family trip

Brown, Dale - 30/04/2024

Really enjoyed staying here despite the horrendous weather. Facilities very clean and shower and communal area nice and warm. Kids play park currently being renovated but knew about this ahead of time so not an issue. Only real issue was about check out. My cars brakes failed just as we arrived. Got the car booked in ASAP in morning but obviously had to check out by 11.30am. Explained to the lady on reception who told me it is nothing to do with her and I need to check out by 11.30 as the site is full. I explained I would do my best to rush back once car is fixed but obviously did know if that was going to be before the time. She told me to just get a taxi back to which i explained i would still have nowhere to put all our camping gear. She just dismissed me and said it is not for her deal with. So i left obviously a bit annoyed. She then phoned 20 mins later saying she could actually move a pitch around and so I do check out in our own time. Why cause the drama if its not necessary?
