Peaceful, simple rural site on a family-run North Yorkshire farm
A 15-minute drive to Castle Howard; 35 minutes to York
Wild camping, Howardian Hills views, sheep and pigs in the fields

Cotril Farm Campsite is a back-to-basics site on a working farm in North Yorkshire’s Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This remote spot is set up to be somewhere you can forget life’s pressures, let the children burn off energy running in the fresh air and set out on foot to explore nature. On the farm you can make friends with pigs, sheep and chickens, and buy ‘happy eggs’ from free-range hens for breakfast around the campfire. Sourcing supplies for your barbecue is easy, as the local village of Terrington has handy shops. It’s also home to the Yorkshire Lavender Farm, a 60-acre hillside farm where you can wander lavender fields and pick up plants. Plenty of walks and bike rides in the Howardian Hills AONB start right from the farm, and the North York Moors National Park has a range of hiking and cycling routes too. From the camping field there are distant views of Castle Howard in one direction and Sutton Bank (plus its landmark White Horse) the the other. Jump in the car and explore market towns like Malton, Helmsley and Thirsk, all packed with indie shops, cosy pubs and farmers’ markets. The Roman walls and history museums in York are well worth a peek too. If you’re holidaying with the kids, York’s Jorvik Viking Centre makes a top-notch day trip for them (book ahead though), or you can spoil them with thrill rides and animal encounters at Flamingo Land Resort.

Liked: Lovely quiet farm! There is options to buy meat from them for breakfast or to take home. You are also able to rent a fire pit and buy wood. The people that own the field are absolutely lovely 5/5 :) porterpotties were clean and stocked with toilet paper and hand sanitizer.

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked: Our 2nd visit, lovely quiet campsite for that time to just relax and enjoy the views and fresh air, OK there's only 2 portaloo's but they are kept spotless and cleaned at least twice a day, no showers but ah well that's camping for you, there's a chemical toilet waste disposal point, and bins for recycling etc, yeah you can hear the pigs but it's a working farm what would you expect, the owners are friendly and check to see your OK now and again, looking forward to returning very soon thanks Andy

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Very spacious campsite among beautiful rolling hills with spectacular views. Farmer is very pleasant and takes time to greet everyone onsite and is lovely to chat to, nothing is a problem to them and they’re very accommodating. Fire pits and logs are available to hire for a small fee and there’s a selection of meats from the farm available to buy too which is a lovely touch.
Check in & out times are also very reasonable, toilets are cleaned and restocked daily.
If you’re into stargazing and you catch a very clear night you might be lucky enough to see the Milky Way too which was stunning as there is little to no light pollution.

This was our second stay and already can’t wait to return.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Beautiful surroundings at this campsite! The site is on a working farm so you get to see some sheep etc through the daytime. The portaloos were really clean and there was drinking water and a waste drain. Fire pits were available to hire and logs to buy at very reasonable prices. Nothing was too much of a problem and the farmer/family were really nice and helpful. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Disliked: Not really a dislike but some of the pitches are not so level but it doesn’t put me off. You are surrounded by beautiful rolling hills so it’s to be expected.
