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'.

Disabled facilities

Wescombe, John - 26/08/2025

My husband is disabled and struggles to stand without aid. Whilst your shower facilities are outstanding for the able bodied, he unfortunately was unable to use the disabled shower as there was no chair for him sit on and no support in it to enable him to hold on to support himself. I would suggest that maybe you need some advice from someone who can advise on this.

4 night camping with electric hook up

Faulds, Emma - 26/08/2025

5

The staff were very friendly and showed us to our pitch. The site is lovely, quiet and safe. The children enjoyed going to the park, the shower block and pot washing area were always clean and never too busy. The showers are great and there are separate sink cubicles so you can brush your teeth in privacy. We really liked the site and would stay again. The only thing to be aware of is that the electric hook up is only 6 amps so not enough for most appliances but this is stated on the website and is enough for charging phones. We took a gas camping stove for heating water etc. There are power sockets in the shower block for using hairdryers.

Excellent facilities and site

Coleman, Marianne - 24/08/2025

5

A well maintained and looked after site. The cleanliness and standard of the toilet/shower block are fantastic, a real luxury for camping. Including family/disabled access facilities and laundrette. Handy to have the coffee shop on site offering pizza on the Friday evening but pre-book these as unfortunately we arrived too late to enjoy. Thornton-le-dale a short drive to get take away fish and chips, pizza and a convenience shop. Great location for exploring North Yorkshire short drive to Pickering, Scarborough. Excellent stay overall.

Wonderful place !!!

Crabtree, Alan - 24/08/2025

We'd booked the campsite on a recommendation but we're still amazed at how well run and clean everything was. We checked in slightly early, the lady on the reception was very friendly and helpful. The pitch exceeded expectations - the size was very generous and flat, not too far from everything. The toilet block was always clean and the showers were lovely. This was one of the nicest campsites we've been on and wouldn't hesitate to come back.
