Peaceful adults-only site 30 minutes' walk from Pickering
On the edge of the North York Moors and 30 minutes' drive to the coast
80-acre farm site with riverside walks and stunning views

Holiday parks don't get much calmer than Westgate Carr Farm, an adults-only site a mile and a half outside the North Yorkshire town of Pickering. This spacious farm in the scenic Vale of Pickering is spread over well-kept land that's bordered by trees, a stream and fields (where the beady-eyed may spot both wild and domestic animals). Set halfway along a country lane, this award-winning 81-acre site is a few minutes by car from the edge of the North York Moors National Park, arguably one of the finest rambling spots in England (and it's within walking distance of the town centre too, if you've got any energy left…). The north-east coast at Filey or Scarborough can also be reached with roughly a half-hour drive. Not to be outdone by the scenic local surroundings, Westgate Carr Farm has a fair bit to keep you pottering around base for some of your stay, including a pond and a riverside trail where you're welcome to walk your dog. All kinds of fish and fowl can be spotted in this wildlife haven, so tread softly if you want to be in with a chance of spotting yellowhammers, swifts, kingfishers or trout along the way. It's worth planning to stay up late too, as the dark skies here are prime stargazing territory. The facilities at Westgate Carr Farm are also handy to have as well: there's an outdoor washing-up area, a luxury bathroom block (with toilets, showers, washing-up area and dishwasher), drinking taps, waste disposal points (including a drive-over grey waste drain) and a recycling area.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch (no awning)

Liked: Absolutely spotless in toilet and shower area. The site generally is very well kept and the facilities are all you ever wanted. There’s a lovely dog walking area where you get to see wildlife. Plenty of space around our van too. Dave was very welcoming on our arrival and gave us plenty of information that was really helpful for our stay.

Disliked: Not a dislike but some people may find the walk to Pickering a little too far to walk but you can always drive or even order a taxi.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Very good site. Looks new, so clean & tidy.

Liked: First time in a campervan, as we usual camp and found it a very neat & tidy site, a mile down a lane so away from any road noise, but only 5 minutes away from the town. Dave was very helpful.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch (no awning)

Liked: Warm and friendly reception on arrival. Well spaced out pitches. Toilet block exceptionally clean and well maintained. Water supply to every pitch a very nice addition. Good recycling options. Dog walk great. Metered electricity supply was new to us, and we found that with our motor home we only used 58p of electric all weekend (we have diesel heating). Nice location, and a reasonable walk in to Pickering. In warmer weather I'm sure it would be even better. Adult only site meant it was very peaceful.

Local attractions

Whether you've come here craving the classic seaside buzz of Scarborough (30 minutes' drive) or prefer more low-key jaunts treading the footpaths and beaches around Filey (40 minutes), you'd do well to squeeze in a trip to the coast or two during your stay here. Looking inland, the main highlight of the local area has to be the North York Moors National Park (a few minutes' drive), where you can pedal through the trees of Dalby Forest (20 minutes), conquer the canopy at the nearest Go Ape (20 minutes) or head to Grosmont (30 minutes) for steam train rides and cosy village cafés. Make a point of seeing the Howardian Hills too – especially Castle Howard (30 minutes), its undisputed highlight. For informative days out with just a hint of history, you've got Ryedale Folk Museum (15 minutes), an open-air heritage centre where you can wander around historic buildings and learn about rural life in Yorkshire from the Iron Age to the 50s. Proper medieval buffs, meanwhile, will be pleased to note that this site is within striking distance of York Minster, Clifford’s Tower and St Mary's Abbey (all 50 minutes).
