  • Family-run site at Scaling in the North York Moors National Park
  • A 20-minute drive to Whitby; 25 minutes to Roseberry Topping
  • Well-equipped kitchen hut on site; barbecues and outdoor games to hire
With the landscapes of the North York Moors National Park all around and the coastline only about 10 minutes’ drive away, this is a nifty location for a North Yorkshire outdoor break. Clover Hill Farm is a family-run site in the hamlet of Scaling, up at the northern end of the national park about 20 minutes’ drive from Whitby. That location means there are plenty of options around for activities and days out, with hiking/cycle trails galore nearby, plus outings to beaches and seaside towns. And you won’t have to travel far to get your scenery/activity fix, as a 15-minute walk gets you to the waterfall at Roxby Mill. Alternatively, a five-minute stroll takes you to Scaling Reservoir for fishing, walks and watersports (or a game of crazy golf and a good meal at the waterside pub). Tailoring your break to your style is easy here – you can keep things simple or boost your break with various extras like barbecue hire, prosecco buckets and birthday banners. On arrival you can also sort things like local barbecue meat packs and outdoor games hire (giant Jenga, supersized Twister, that sort of thing…) Guest facilities centre around a shepherd’s hut washroom (with hot showers and flushing toilets) and a well-equipped kitchen hut with a mini oven, double hob, microwave, fridges and various pots, pans and utensils. Outside, there’s a large mowed area for games or for groups to gather. The folk that own this site are passionate about the environment, so they’ve made a concerted effort to plant new trees and hedging to create wildlife corridors and enhance the site’s biodiversity. Owl and bat boxes on site mean you may well see and/or hear these species at some point during your stay.

Circus gypsy caravan

Liked: The decoration of the caravan was darling, and it had everything we needed! They were also very accomodating and helped us figure out how to make the sofa a bed and provided us with the kindling and wood for the fire which made for such a lovely, cosy night! Their local recommendations were spot on too, and we had a lovely meal out thanks to them. Location is quiet and the sunset views are stunning. We would definitely return and stay again!

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The site was lovely and relaxing, it was nice to have our own personal area with grass and trees separating it. We can’t wait to come back and see it when the trees have grown a bit more. The communication from the owners was great and friendly. The facilities were clean and it was lovely to see a kitchen with lots of pots etc in it. Not far from Whitby or Staithes. Lots of amenities in the local area too. Lovely to have WiFi on the site too

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Beautiful spot. Lovely facilities. The showers and kitchen were excellent. Little barrows to take your stuff to the pitch from your car. Also trees have been planted for privacy which will be amazing once they have grown in a little more.

Willow bell tent (five person)

Liked: What a lovely campsite! 🥰
Well-maintained and spotlessly clean. We stayed in the Willow Tipi , plenty enough room for the 5 of us!
Cooking facilities available, came in handy as we was caught up in the heavy winds!
Staff had everything we needed on hand. Garage within walking distance for extra supplies.
Tents are spaced out really well too, with a fire pit and seating area provided.
Good location for nearby attractions too!
We headed to Scarbrough & Whitby during our stay, visited Beck Hole waterfall, and even found a carboot sale 5-10min drive up the road on Sunday!
Kids enjoyed it despite the weather, and I look forward to returning.

Disliked: Only one shower/toilet block.
Despite not being a busy campsite they always seemed to be in use! 🤣
Men/women blocks would be beneficial.

Local attractions

There’s a whole lot of choice around here when it comes to walks and bike rides – and as the farm is on a public right of way, you can get started straight from the gate. Some of the top spots nearby include Blakey Ridge (20 minutes’ drive), Roseberry Topping (25 minutes) and the Hole of Horcum (half an hour). Not up for the exercise? Ride the North Yorkshire Moors Railway from Goathland (25 minutes). The national park stretches all the way to the coast, taking in seaside towns like Runswick Bay (10 minutes), Staithes (15 minutes) and Robin Hood’s Bay (half an hour). Saltburn-by-the-Sea (20 minutes) is another popular spot, with a lovely beach, a pier and a funicular railway to ride. The highlight for many, though, is a trip to Whitby (20 minutes), where you can stroll through the Old Town, climb the famed 199 Steps and visit the abbey, as well as spending time on the beach.
