There are even adult only pitches for tents without electric, perfect for those who enjoy some peace and quiet whilst being surrounded by nature.

The Potting Shed even has its own enclosed garden for dining al fresco. This site is ideal for a peaceful retreat, kept natural with the planting of native trees and hedging to encourage a diversity of wildlife including, birds, insects, bats and a resident barn owl that does a nightly patrol! Whilst onsite be sure to take a stroll around the nature walk to see the ducks splashing in the pond or the resident hens! Set in the North York Moors National Park the site is well located for exploring both the Yorkshire coastline and pretty countryside with The Cleaveland Way just a 20 minute walk away.

We had an absolutely wonderful holiday spent at Serenity Camping. The toilets were always clean and nice. The charging shed only had three plug sockets, I would have perhaps liked some USB ports. It was very peaceful, with no screaming kids or EDM music pumping like our usual campsite on the East Coast. I can see us camping here every year from now on. The location was excellent, being close to many local seaside villages and their pubs. It felt like we were cheating the system somewhat, it was a really great holiday! The best holiday I've had since I was a child.
Lovely, friendly and impeccably clean

Hidden away, look out for the sign or you'll drive straight past the entrance, lovely spot. Reception was closed by the time we arrived, but instructions on where to pitch had been left out for us with a phone number if we needed assistance. The tent field has a gentle slope to it, but the pitches are flat and level and of a good size, plenty of space, not crammed in at all. the showers were in very good condition, water hot and plentiful, and cleaned regularly, there aren't many showers but we never had an issue. The family bathrooms are really appreciated by a family with young children. The wash up is more than you would expect, a large freezer for the ice packs, but also a large communal fridge, kettle, toaster and microwave all free to use. Washer and dryer also present (charged for) but we didn't need them. A large pub literally across the road, fish and chip shop 5 mins walk away along with a second pub, Runswick Bay approx 20 min walk (down hill) and there is a local Co-Op just a 5 min drive away in Staithes. Excellent value.

Things to do on site and in the Whitby area
The site is the perfect place to kick back an unwind, with WiFi available in the information hut as well as magazines and sofas it is the perfect place to sit and read a good book. Or if you are wanting to get out and explore Runswick Bay is only 20 minutes away and is the previous winner of the BBC's best beach award.
The village of Hinderwell is close by with a few eateries and a butcher's, or for somewhere a bit livelier Staithes (5 minute drive or 30 minute walk), is a pretty harbour town with winding cobbled streets and quaint cottages. Here you will find a few eateries with fresh seafood and traditional ales. Or Whitby is a bit busier with a sandy beach, see where the idea for Dracula was born!
For keen walkers, there are plenty of walks that can be taken straight from the campsite gate, or The Cleveland Way runs past the site where you can walk from Whitby to Salburn-by-the-Sea or if you are feeling really adventurous you could take it a bit further, through the Cleveland Hills.
Other great places to explore nearby include:
- Fossil Hunting at Port Mulgrave (5 minutes)
- Falling Foss Waterfall (25 minutes)
- Robin Hoods Bay (30 minutes)
- The North York Moors Railway (45 minutes)
- Scarborough (50 minutes)
