  • Well-equipped family-friendly site a 15-minute drive from Scarborough
  • Fishing lakes five minutes’ drive; North York Moors 20 minutes
  • Cycle hire; play area; launderette; licensed shop; dog-washing station
Don’t let the name mislead you: there is more to St Helens in the Park than… well, caravan pitches. Indeed, with several accommodation options, this site is definitely a contender for your next North Yorkshire family holiday. And if you’re looking for a romantic break, there’s also an adults-only area where you will be undisturbed by… er, over-enthusiastic children. (There’s also enforced quiet time after 10pm.) St Helens sits in the Vale of Pickering, between the Beedale Beck river and the A170, which takes you straight to Scarborough in about 15 minutes (by car). It’s a great location – of that, there’s little doubt. Are you into fishing? There’s top-class angling in the four freshwater lakes that make up the North Yorkshire Water Park Fisheries (five minutes’ drive). Maybe you prefer hiking? Besides easy woodland walks in the vicinity, you’re at the southern tip of North York Moors National Park here (20 minutes) and not far from Howardian Hills National Landscape (45 minutes). And if you fancy a day at the seaside, sandy Scarborough Beach (15 minutes) is a fine spot for a swim or an ice cream as you watch the tide come in. Back at the site after a day with the kids, no one would blame you for wanting some time to yourself, so leave the children to make new friends in the playground and take the dog for a nice walk. Muddy tracks? No problem: with a dog-washing station on site, your four-legged companion will look even fluffier and more handsome than when you first arrived. Other facilities on site include a café and a licensed shop, family-friendly bathrooms, a launderette and cycle hire.

What customers say

Guests rave about the spotless site, roomy spots, and top-notch amenities, especially the modern showers and fantastic kids' play area. Its prime location for coastal exploration is a big plus, as are the friendly staff. A few folks noted scarce trash bins and inconsistent shop/cafe hours. Highly recommended, with many planning return trips!

Bryony H.

Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (large)

Liked Everything! Proximity to places to visit, size of site, good sized pitches and spaced nicely apart. Clean modern facilities, well priced, felt secure with ANPR operated barrier.
The biggest winner for our 3 children was the superb playground - the best we've seen! We hope to return next year.

Disliked The only downside was the limited opening times for the shop but that's scraping the barrel for something as we truly loved our time at the site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Loved our stay here and would definitely stay again.

Georgina H.

Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Fantastic campsite, perfectly clean, absolutely everything you need and more than enough toilet and shower blocks. The cafe onsite did wonderful food and a really good selection of drinks for how small it was. Really nice walks onsite and a good large children’s play area. All the staff seemed happy and chatty

Disliked We were gutted the cafe/bar wasn’t open on evenings. Only open Saturday evenings but we would have happily went in all the nights we were there for a few drinks

Local attractions

At North Yorkshire Water Park (10 minutes’ drive or a 15-minute bike ride) the entire family can make a bit of a splash, either on the inflatable obstacle course or having a go at wakeboarding. There’s also paddleboarding, kayaking and open-water swimming, plus (for those who prefer solid earth to water) climbing and axe throwing. Scrambling up the headland that is home to Scarborough Castle gives you the chance to admire the town’s two beaches from up high: South Beach is lively and lined with shops and arcades, while North Beach tends to be less busy. At its northernmost end is the SEA LIFE Scarborough aquarium. Dotted with statues, follies and fountains, the gardens at Castle Howard (40 minutes) are quite spectacular. Swans and other birds inhabit the area around the lakes and waterways, and it is also possible to take a rowing boat for a trip around the Great Lake.
