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'.

Lovely family friendly site. Facilities are very clean and well maintained. The site itself is in a great location with access to many many attractions for family activities. It is really well situated for activity day trips. I have been attending for the last 7 years and my kids now in their teens still look forward to heading there for a few nights.

This is the second time we've stayed with family here and once again, we had a great time.We stayed in the camp field and it's always well kept. The grass regularly mowed. The facilities are top notch. Particularly liked the separate shower rooms, complete with toilet and sink. Having a medical issue I need a sink adjacent to the loo. WELL DONE 👏

Clean facilities, welcoming staff and a well stocked shop. Over the past 3 years the park has become our second home. Beautiful walks close by, and not too far from the seaside. Fantastic site!

Fabulous

Holden, Deborah - 28/08/2026

Stayed for a long weekend over the school summer holidays. We requested a pitch away from the play area which was accommodated. Although the site was busy there was no noise. It was immaculately kept, the facilities were spotless. The six acre field was excellent for the dogs. The location is beautiful and is ideal for a trip to the coast or the moors. The little cafe on site was also worth trying. The pizzas were good and the cakes looked amazing. Although it's not a fully serviced pitch the water was literally three metres away and points were at most pitches. We were both really impressed and will definitely be going back. Staff were lovely, helpful and pleasant. The only noise we had were the collared doves on the roof of the van at half five!Absolutely faultless and well worthy of five stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Great Weekend

Bentley, Gareth - 27/08/2026

Just a short local stay for us with our new tent.Large non electric pitch booked last minute.We probably had the furthest away pitch fromThe facilities but totally understandable with a last minute booking in August and this was only a 200m walk.Facilities were top notch with hot & clean showers. Kids playground was enough to entertain our 6yr old. Cafe served first class food and drink and the little shop was well stocked.Staff were all friendly and helpful looking like they were enjoying their work.
