The gate clicks shut behind you and suddenly it's just canvas, moorland air, and the kind of quiet you only get when a Scout site isn't hosting a jamboree — this is proper back-to-basics camping on the edge of the North York Moors.
Cherry Garth suits anyone after a no-frills pitch: families happy with simple facilities, Scout groups obviously, dog owners who want space to roam (though best to ask ahead about current four-legged policy), and campers who'd rather spend evenings round a fire than scrolling for signal. Campervans are welcome alongside tents, so there's a bit of flexibility if the weather turns. The moors are right there — heather, skylarks, miles of walking — and you're in proper Heartbeat country, all stone villages and high tops.
Facilities are basic and you'll need to check what's actually open when you arrive, especially regarding campfires — the policy changes with the season and fire risk. It's the kind of site where you bring everything you need, enjoy the space, and remember why you started camping in the first place. Peaceful, unpretentious, and honestly quite lovely when the light goes golden over the hills.
