Camping in North Yorkshire

North Yorkshire's size and variety mean camping and glamping here covers a lot of ground, from coastal sites near Whitby and Hunmanby to farm pitches deep in the Dales around Skipton and Leyburn, and woodland spots close to the North York Moors at Pickering and Snainton. With 672 sites listed, the choice runs from simple grass pitches to well-equipped pods and shepherd's huts.

Dales locations such as Nethergill Farm and Malhamdale Glamping suit those wanting fell walking and quiet valleys, while sites nearer Helmsley Meadows or Alum House Littlebeck put you closer to the moors and heather-lined tracks. York's outskirts, including Skipbridge Farm Glamping and Aldwark Bridge Glamping, work well for combining a city visit with a rural stay.

Richmond and Thirsk offer a useful middle ground, with campsites and glamping like Church Farm Camping and Bridge House Campsite giving easy access to market towns and castles alongside open countryside. Posh pods and cabins at places such as Hunmanby Follies and Cherish Glamping suit shorter breaks where comfort matters more than roughing it.
