The morning light breaks gently across the Vale of York, casting long shadows over hedge-lined fields where skylarks trill their dawn chorus. This working farm in North Yorkshire offers a straightforward, unpretentious camping experience that suits families and couples seeking space to breathe, away from the bustle of larger commercial sites.

Located in England's largest county, you're well-placed for exploring both the dramatic North York Moors and the rolling Yorkshire Dales, with historic market towns and the city of York within comfortable driving distance. The farm provides genuine countryside immersion while keeping civilization within reach.

With space for tents, campervans and caravans, facilities are kept simple but functional—clean toilets and hot showers serving those who prefer their comforts without frills. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so confirm when you get there if you're planning evening flames. This is camping that strips back to essentials: good ground, open skies, and the authentic rhythms of rural Yorkshire.

Pexton Trail

Traces a gentle, undulating path through North Yorkshire moorland and farmland with modest inclines that families will handle comfortably.

Dalby Beck Red Trail

Loops through Dalby Forest's pine-clad valleys and ridges with moderate climbs and technical rooty sections that challenge younger legs. The red-graded mountain bike trail shares this route, so expect cyclists—keep dogs close and under control. Not suitable for buggies due to uneven forest tracks and exposed tree roots. Rewards you with peaceful woodland atmosphere and glimpses of red squirrels if you're lucky, making it ideal for adventurous families with older children who enjoy proper forest
