Location is incredible, close to the river, lots of space for kids to play, lovely pub only minutes walk away. We were in a tent and friends in a caravan pitched side by side. Fire pits to hire, shop on site, coffee shop, milkshakes were a massive hit with the kids. Cant wait to go back!!”

Stoneclose Campsite
Location: High Rigg Farm, Pickering, YO18 7LP
Rating: 4.8/5
A regular visitor left this review: “Fantastic campsite. Very clean & tidy. Have camped here & used their pods too. Good facilities - washing up station, showers & toilets. Fridge/freezer in the farmhouse porch is really useful too. Caravans at the top & tents round the edge leaves a nice area for children to play in the middle on well-kept grass. Always pleasant, great location - well worth a stopover for Dalby forest activities or just a relaxing break.”
