  • Small North Yorkshire site with views of the White Horse of Kilburn
  • In the North York Moors National Park, 10 minutes' drive to Thirsk
  • Two pubs within walking distance of the site; Cleveland Way close by
Whether you’re off to the North York Moors National Park to walk the Cleveland Way, mountain bike around Sutton Bank or tread carefully around abbeys and museums, Butter Hill Caravan Park is well situated to get going, as it's on the edge of the national park – with the 109-mile Cleveland Way trail around 10 minutes’ drive away (and it has quite the reputation for sublime scenery around the fringes of the moors). Look up and you’ll see a well-known North Yorkshire landscape… this small site is just below the White Horse of Kilburn, a chalk figure cut into the side of the hill. It’s 25 minutes’ walk away from the site for a look up close, and there are also other interesting nooks a short walk away, including the Mouseman Museum, Café and Visitors Centre (home to a collection of Mouseman furniture) two minutes’ walk away. On site, there are water points, but for some fancier potions to wet your tastebuds, there are all types of refreshments in the surrounding pubs. The site is on the edge of the village of Kilburn, so the local pub/restaurant is two minutes’ walk away. There’s another good pub in Coxwold, 30 minutes’ walk away or five minutes’ drive. As for shops, Thirsk, 10 minutes’ drive away, is your go-to.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: We love this site. Ony 40 mintes up the road, nestled below the NYM White Horse in the village of Kilburn, also known for the beautiful furniture created by Mousey Thompsons team of exceptional craftsmen.
The site is impeccably clean, the owners are very welcoming and take the time to
come down to the site to make sure you have settled in. They are also about should you need anything.

The site only provides, water tap for each pitch, electric and the necessary waste disposal areas, but with a fully functioning van what else do you need.

Lots of walks on the door step, a village pub, with other pubs and cafes within a 2 mile radius. Wider amenities, 6 miles away.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike.

Liked: What a gem, so lovely and quiet, well kept and friendly owners - who came to see if we were ok after we had set up.
Could see the white horse on the hill from the caravan window. Took a walk up, but it did take me 50 minutes not 25, with a quick sit down on a grit bin.
Pub down the road served lovely meals, but boy were they mardy and call everyone guys (little pet hate) ! lol
Would definitely book again as the site is very relaxing and just what we needed.

Disliked: Nothing - everything spot on

Liked: Lovely secluded site - so peaceful with just the birds tweeting! Spacious level pitches. A couple of minutes walk to The Forresters Arms where we had a lovely meal - luckily we booked in advance as there were 6 of us and it was quite busy for February. We got a taxi into Thirsk which was lovely to have a wander round the shops - there is a bus stop in Kilburn but the locals advised us that the bus never comes!

Local attractions

Flick back through the pages of history a little… this area’s a fitting place to take a look at times past, whether it’s roaming around the Tudor Newburgh Priory Estate (five minutes’ drive) or stopping by Byland Abbey (10 minutes) while on your cycles through the countryside for a look at the ruined gothic architecture. To continue your historic tour, you might want to plot out your route to The World Of James Herriot (15 minutes) for a museum all about the famous 20th-century vet… onto Thirsk (10 minutes) for a market town packed with museums of all sorts… or Ampleforth Abbey (20 minutes) to see how Benedictine monks once lived inside the monastery. Helmsley (25 minutes) is another market town where the past runs strong, as it has a castle, walled garden and abbey. But how about hiking and biking too? Sutton Bank (10 minutes) is a Dark Sky Discovery Site by night, but by day, the spotlight is on its walking, cycling and mountain biking trails. Handily, for those of you without your own wheels, there’s bike hire available. Monk Park Farm Visitor Attraction (five minutes) has a smaller one-mile walk for those of you who have little legs in your group, as well as interactive animal activities.
