  • Secluded wild camping with spectacular views of the Yorkshire Wolds
  • A 15-minute drive to Malton; 30 minutes to Flamingo Land
  • Part of an organic working farm with access to footpath and Wolds Way
It may not be as well-known as the Yorkshire Dales or the North York Moors, but those in the know will be aware that the Yorkshire Wolds is an area that’s just as enticing for walks and other outdoor activities (and it’s generally less busy too…) On the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds is Brown Moor Farm, an organic working farm with livestock including sheep and free-range hens. Pitch up at this rural site and you’ll have access to several local footpaths at the bottom of the dale, with a link to the Wolds Way too. There are plenty of cycle routes around if you prefer to tour on two wheels – and some spectacular country views to gaze out at once you’re safely back on site in the evening (with secure lockable cycle storage available on request so your bike can have a rest). The camping field faces south east for some great sunrises and has simple facilities in the form of a toilet block (cleaned daily), waste water facilities and a fresh water supply. Bottled water can be made available on request for a small charge. Pitches have a slight incline and in parts are uneven; they are on grass and chalkland, so you’ll need to wear suitable footwear around the site. They’re dark by night too, so bring along a torch. Dogs are welcome, but are to be kept on leads at all times. Barbecues are permitted but must be raised off the ground (blocks can be supplied on request). There are several pubs within a few miles for drinks and food; more options are up in Malton, 15 minutes’ drive away, along with shops for self-catering supplies.

What customers say

Brown Moor Farm boasts stunning, peaceful country views. Guests rave about the friendly owners' warm welcome & clean, basic facilities. It’s perfect for a nature escape with wildlife & walking, though the ground can be hard & the site slopes. Some found it pricey for the amenities. Farm eggs are a hit!

Leanne L.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked Loved the remote location and views from the camping field. The 'proper' toilet and sink were a nice surprise. Plus tap water is available from a hose next to the toilet for any washing pots etc.

We loved Brown Moor Farm, we were lucky to be only one of two tents staying the night we were there and had a vantage spot over looking a great view. We received a warm welcome and would come back next year.

We were able to bring our own disposable barbecue and bricks were available to stand it on (no extra charges for this unlike some sites who make you pay to use one of their firepits/barbecues!)

Disliked The field where you camp is sloping so you are unlikely to find a flat pitch. There are no showers so it is back to basics (this wasn't a problem for us as we were only staying one night but it's worth flagging up if you want to stay longer!)

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked Me & my daughter stayed here last night & what a wonderful hidden gem not far from home. We couldn’t fault anything, from a warm welcome on arrival to a beautiful location to spend the night with fantastic views.
The outdoor toilet facilities were lovely and clean and were a nice little luxury to this more wild camping style experience.
We will definitely be returning.

From the manager: Thank you so much for a fantastic review .
Look forward to seeing you again.

Beautiful scenery, peaceful and just lovely!

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked Beautiful views from everywhere on the field. We parked up and were greater by some hens which the girls loved and then followed the sign through the little woods to find the most beautiful view of the valley! It’s a basic site but honestly the view can’t be beaten. Even being in a shed, the toilet was clean. The girls loved seeing the ponies in the field next to us and watching the cows walk along the fence line in the other neighbouring field. The owners were also very friendly!
My pictures don’t do the location justice. There isn’t much light pollution either so the stars were amazing, my husband even saw a shooting star.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked We had an excellent time here, upon arrival we met the lady owner who showed us to the camp area,very helpful and the views from the camp site are beautiful, it is a very quiet site with some beautiful short trails into the surrounds, the toilet in the shed is an excellent idea and is kept clean,take a peg hammer and suitable pegs with you it can be pretty tough ground in places but this wasn't a problem, I loved the small woodland area you go thru before arriving at the site and the views again were very impressive such a beautiful part of the world.. We will definetly be back.. There is a trolley at the carpark to make use of taking your camping gear to your pitch we really liked that idea aswell.. Absolute delight to have spent 2 nights here..

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked The site was just as advertised, with beautiful views and nearby walks. It was very quiet during the night, perfect for a peaceful getaway.

Disliked The only downside is that all pitches are on a slope, however this is disclosed when booking and wasn’t a massive issue for us.
