About House Martins Camping

If you are looking for a peaceful break in the Yorkshire countryside then this site may be what you are looking for. The site offers ten tent pitches in a secluded two acre field which is edged with trees and hedging. There are owls, deer, hares and bats all living in the local area. If you want to try camping but don't have a tent yet you can hire the four berth tent (two bedrooms). Beds, chairs and a table are included in the price, you just need to bring your bedding and cooking equipment. There is also a small two berth tent for cosy camping which comes with two sleep mats and chairs. Well-behaved dogs are allowed (up to two), unfortunately not in the hire tents. Within a ten minute drive, you can be in the local towns where there are more supermarkets, pubs and restaurants.

Open from 26 June to 2 September
