Woodland camping near Cropton

·

Forest camping in Cropton puts you under thick canopies, with moss underfoot and owls calling after dark. There are over 40 forest sites around here—some just a short walk from the trails that cut through the woods. You’ll find spots like Breaks Fold Farm Glamping & Camping (31 reviews), The Darling Woods of May (6 reviews), and Dale Farm Holidays (5 reviews) that regulars rave about for their easy access to walking paths and peaceful settings. You can pitch up for as little as £12 a night, though the average runs closer to £110. Most sites welcome pets and have basic facilities—think showers and toilets—so you can rinse off after a muddy hike or a dip in the stream. Some locals even swear by the forest tracks for early-morning runs, and if you’re keen, you’ll find wild swimming spots and, believe it or not, a few places to try your hand at surfing nearby. Just remember to tidy up your rubbish and respect the quiet—Cropton’s woods draw campers looking for a slower, grounded pace.

Channel your inner Viking and run rampant along the north-east coast at this family-run site in East Yorkshire. Set in pleasing green surroundings, the fab accommodation at Viking Garth Hideaways is close to both established seaside spots like Bridlington or Scarborough and the wilder cliffs and coves of the Flamborough Headland Heritage Coast. Pods are spread over tree-lined grounds, with plenty of picnic tables about where you can admire the view or tuck into an alfresco meal (or both…). Campfires are also welcome in the designated areas – wood and charcoal can be picked up in Bridlington (10 minutes' drive), along with other holiday essentials. Finished off in natural wood, Viking Garth Hideaways' all-weather accommodation is easy on the eye both inside and out. This eco-conscious spot has also kitted out all of its pods with double glazing and insulation (heating is on hand for those cooler nights). The smart interiors are mightily functional too, coming with a microwave, fridge, crockery, cutlery, a TV, and a DVD player. If and when you manage to pull yourself away from these snug surrounds, start your explorations with jaunts to seaside villages like Bempton (five minutes' drive), which has a village pub, a railway station, and other handy amenities. Want a day off from driving? A local bus stops a few minutes' walk away from the site entrance.
