Ladycross Plantation Caravan Park

Fully-serviced pitches in the open field

These pitches were made bigger in 2018 and will also take motorhomes

A 95-acre woodland site a short drive from the A171
Easy access to the stunning Yorkshire coast, moors and Goathland
Two-mile nature trail with a pond and modern amenities blocks

You might be relieved this site has 'cross' in its name, as it's near the toothy town of Whitby, famed of course these days for its Goth weekends and those days for being where one Count Dracula leapt ashore to UK soil… But of course Ladycross Plantation Caravan Park has a fair bit more going on for it than that… in fact you could say that the site has a lot of bite…? It's a nifty base from which to flit to the best of North Yorkshire, for one, as it's only 400 yards off the A171 from Teeside to Whitby, and has easy access to the North York Moors National Park and Heartbeat country around Goathlands. And it's set on 95 acres of good-looking woodland, with a two-mile-long nature trail meandering through its trees and past a pond. There's also easy access for caravans and tourers. The on-site pantry shop in the reception area stocks essentials and stacks of leaflets on what to do in the surrounding area (after Whitby, natch). The park also has a book exchange service. Ladycross is run by a family team who have been improving and upgrading the park since taking it over in 2010. Among the features added are two modern and well-maintained toilet and shower blocks with private washrooms and underfloor heating, a waste and water point, and secluded areas for various pitches.

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch (adults only)

Liked: This site and the team that look after it are fantastic.
I could go on about all the different aspects that gave rise to my opening sentence but that would be longer than your average dissertation.
Even our dog settled in within an hour and enjoyed herself, especially the walk through the woods to the communal field.
We didn’t bother with Wi-Fi as we wanted to enjoy a quiet weekend.

Disliked: Not discovering it before now.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for a fabulous review, it makes it all worth it!

2nd time we’ve been. Will go back love this site.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Great pitch, good size.

Lovely setting, great for dog walking.

Quiet and not too many pitches.

Disliked: We were on fully serviced pitch and felt that the drain was in the wrong place. We were advised to place the caravan over to the left, consequently the drain was in the wrong place.

Very well run site. Nice and quiet. Booked for 3 nights but…
