The low sun catches the hedgerows around Cottingham, and somewhere beyond the pitches a blackbird's rattling its evening call — this is the gentler edge of East Yorkshire, where the Wolds begin their roll toward the coast.
The site welcomes tents, campervans and caravans, so you'll find families unpacking coolboxes alongside couples in camper conversions and anyone chasing a night under canvas without driving too far from Hull or Beverley. It's a handy spot if you're exploring the market towns or planning a day trip to the beaches at Hornsea or Bridlington, with the Wolds Way not far off for proper walking country.
You've got the basics sorted — clean toilets and showers onsite — and campfires are worth checking about when you arrive, as policies can shift with the season or the weather. The feel is low-key and unpretentious, the kind of place where you pitch up, settle in, and let the evening sort itself out without too much fuss.
