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'.
All of our pitches are level and well drained. Touring hard-standing pitches have a 10amp electric supply.

All reviews featured on Campstead.com have been submitted by genuine customers who have stayed at the park.
Excellent showers. Free internet that we could get while parked up. Fish & chip van visits every Saturday which was very good. Dedicated dog walking area which was also very good. Really liked the park & would stay there again.
Hi Paul, Really pleased to read this wonderful feedback of the site, we look forward to welcoming you back again in the future!Caitlin :)
We love Pickering & Whitby & this is a great place to stay for both. We are only sorry that we had to leave a day early to get home before Storm Austen.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review your stay here with us! We are so thrilled to see that you found it to be worthy of 5 stars and we certainly look forward to welcoming you back (minus the storm perhaps) next time!Caitlin :)
Facilities good clean and tidy, staff polite and helpful, toilets and showers second to none. Site a little out of the way for someone not wanting to drive.Cafe good, as we came in October but not open a great deal .Fish and chip van once a week. Good dog walk.Would benefit from some fully serviced pitches, generally well run ,as we have been numerous times we are aware of the small issues. Good far out ways the bad

We are pleased that you have chosen to stay with us numerous times so far, and will pass on the lovely comments about the staff politeness and facilities. We are slightly puzzled by the reference to the small issues and would invite you to email us at info@valeofpickering.co.uk to clarify this so that we can convert this into constructive feedback. Caitlin :)
The facilities are amazing, so clean and spacious. The site well maintained and really peaceful. Lovely little shop. Cafe on site but not open when we were there.

Beautiful site in pristine condition. Pitches tidy, water access close to caravan. Good little shop. Very friendly staff . Toilet block very clean.We walked to Thornton le Dale (8 mile return). Central to lots of places. Excellent pub 1 mile up the road. Had a great stay

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Caitlin :)
We had a lovely few days here whilst visiting Pickering 40s weekend. Very well layed out site with nice moden facilities and very clean toilet / shower block.Only one criticism is the shower heads, they are a bit like a jet wash, very powerful which is great but only a 100mm round jet pattern. Overall a very nice site.Many thanks.
Hi Rich, Thank you for taking the time to leave us this 5 star review. We are very pleased to read that you had a lovely few days with us. Your feedback regarding the showers will be passed on to the relevant teams. We hope to welcome you back again in the near future. Caitlin :)
Good location and well kept clean site, clean and well maintained facilities, large enough plot for caravan awning and car, good spacing between caravans, friendly and helpful staff, onsite shop is reasonably priced which suprised me as the shops on most sites tend to take advantage of customers by inflating prices, onsite café is a very good idea but didn't get to try it, the only thing that niggles me was the showers as they are not adjustable in temperature and the fine needle like spray from shower head and also the push button cut off is too short, but overall the site is a lovely place and location and would recommend a stay.
Hi Gordon, Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review. It is wonderful to hear that you found the site to be well maintained and clean and the staff to be friendly and helpful. We appreciate your feedback on the showers and will pass your comments on to the relevant team. We hope to welcome you back again in the near future. Caitlin :)
Site is well maintained, staff very friendly and helpful, shower and toilets are well maintained and clean. Did have an issue with hot water but it was sorted. Small shop is well stocked and cafe is good. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend. The only negative issue was not with vale of pickering but with the fish and chip shop in Thornton-le-Dale. Can't understand why after only open for 10 min it had run out of fish. We were lucky to get the last 2 bits of haddock but at a cost £30 thats over priced. Just think its taking advantage of tourists.
Thank you for leaving us this lovely 5 star review. We are pleased to see that you found the site to be well maintained and clean and the staff friendly and helpful. Your comments will be shared with the relevant teams! We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.Caitlin :)
The site was spotless inside and out and was well maintained, at night it was easy to get around due to the lamps alongside the roads we found the pitch was nice and level with water and electric hookup for every pitch. The staff were very friendly and plenty of toilets and showers I especially liked the large bath rooms with a toilet and shower as I’ve got limited mobility it was great to not struggle with getting dressed after a shower.the only thing I didn’t like was the push button showers you had to push it in every 3/4 seconds and I like a hot shower but the water was Luke warm. Other than those two niggles I found it one of the best sites I’ve been too.
Hi Kevin, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. It's lovely to see that you found the site to be well lit, spotless and well maintained. We did unfortunately have an issue with one of our boilers during your stay, however this was rectified as soon as we discovered the issue. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.
