About Vale of Pickering Caravan Park
This award winning, family run park is set on a working country farm nestled in the Yorkshire countryside. Perfect for a family getaway, the site has wonderful facilities including a shop, playground and a cafe where you can enjoy a delicious breakfast to set you up for the day. There are a total of 66 non electric grass pitches, each welcoming tents only, with 16 that allow up to six guests and 50 that allow up to four. All of the pitches are level, with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy some peace and quiet. For tent campers, there are a further six grass pitches with six amp electric hook up. If bringing your tourer, there are 55 hardstanding pitches too, each with a 10 amp hook up and also welcoming six guests each. If glamping is more your style, the site's bell tents sleep a family of four with a chic furnished interior, a double bed and comfy futons. In the site's peaceful surroundings, you'll find a herd of gentle cows and fields where wheat, barley and maize are grown. The park is set within 15 acres and is only 15 minutes from Dalby Forest, and only ten minutes to the market town of Pickering. For evenings of al fresco cooking, BBQs are welcome though disposable BBQs must not sit directly on the grass. Please note, campfires and fire pits are not allowed. Dogs are also welcome to join you, with up to three allowed per pitch. There is even an expansive dog walking area with glorious views and a dog wash for if their paws get a little mucky. The bell tents are pet free. Please note, the onsite cafe's opening times vary.
Vale of Pickering Caravan Park is open from 01/03 to 31/12 in 2024 and from 01/01 to 01/01 and 03/03 to 31/12 in 2025.
