  • Rural North Yorkshire site over five acres, with great views
  • A 10-minute drive from Northallerton and North York Moors
  • Communal campfire area and fire baskets on site; pub half a mile away
A bit of quiet countryside chilling out or all sorts of North Yorkshire adventures – Sentry Circle Camping, three miles from Northallerton, is a fine spot for either (or a bit of both…) This rural site has the quite the history behind it – its name comes from the ancient stone circle in one of its fields, and its local village, Brompton, is the agreed location of the Battle of the Standard in 1138 (and also where local militia gathered ahead of the 1303 campaign to retake Scotland). These days it’s a much quieter place, where you shouldn’t find any swords getting in the way of your trip along a footpath to get to its shop and pub half a mile away. If you’ve come here in search of outdoor activities, you should find plenty of those in the North York Moors (10 minutes’ drive) and Yorkshire Dales (25 minutes) national parks – or perhaps on the Coast to Coast Walk, which passes a little under two miles away. Golf, horse riding and fishing are all easily accessed nearby too for a change of rural activity. Back at base, pitches are spread out over five acres of open fields, with plenty of space to run about and play games. Keeping warm later in the day requires a campfire, of course – and you can sort this by either settling down at the communal campfire pit or borrowing individual fire baskets to build your own blaze. Kiln dried logs are available to purchase on site. There is no wifi on site, meaning that guests can leave their emails behind and focus on kicking back and admiring the view.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Huge open space for pitching up, nice friendly community around the bonfire, no check in and out times so more relaxed. 2 pubs which were 15 minutes walk away :)

Disliked: Toilet and shower very basic and not really enough for the whole site but was never really busy when we used them anyway.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: We could pitch where we liked, the owner was friendly, the facilities were very clean, and the water was incredibly hot which is always lovely when it's a bit colder.

The stone circle at the top of the field is accessible and interesting, although be mindful there are grazing sheep

Disliked: The site has an electric fence going around the edges which makes it a bit nerve-racking when you have a dog.

The site is quite close to a main road which is loud through the night

The site is on a grass and mud field so when it's been wet that gets slippy, not helped with it being on a slope.

There were a couple of groups of particularly loud people who did not respect the request of being quiet after 11:00 p.m which doesn't seem to be monitored by site owners. Some dogs were also off lead/tie outs & not under control, which again wasn't monitored by the site owners.

It is a shame as it has potential to be a really nice camping spot

Local attractions

Aiming for lots of outdoor activities? Osmotherley (10 minutes’ drive) is a good place to head for – it’s the starting point for lots of trails in the North York Moors National Park, including the Lyke Wake Walk. For other options, there’s a golf course 10 minutes’ drive away, or a bit of angling at Stonebridge Fishing Lakes (20 minutes’ drive) or you can ride out of a horse trekking centre (25 minutes). For more leisurely days, potter around the indie shops in Northallerton (10 minutes), explore the National Trust site at Mount Grace Priory (10 minutes) or head to the stately home Kilpin Hall (20 minutes). The Forbidden Corner (45 minutes) is another fabulous place to visit – the four-acre garden is full of unusual bits and pieces including statues, follies, a huge pyramid and a ‘path to nowhere’. All of this will probably keep you busy for quite some time, but if you need more ideas, it’s worth noting that it’s only a 25-minute drive to the Yorkshire Dales National Park…
