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.

Really well laid out site. Quite steep in places with rough ground but fine if you are mobile. Toilet and shower facilities are excellent, as is the wash up area with phone charging facilities and shared fridges. Fantastic base to explore the area, right next to the Thurscross reservoir.

Such a lovely spot. Very idyllic and private. Pitches were a decent distance from each other which was really nice - it was nice knowing other people were around but having your own private space. Dog friendly, which was brilliant - camped for the first time with our boy. He didn't like the owls! We will be back!

We had a wonderful time at Woodsworth Exploring - our kids loved camping in a woodland, and it is well-looked after and beautiful. You do have to walk in with your gear, but they provide wheelbarrows for you to use. Emma was very responsive and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and hope to come back sometime soon!

A lovely place to stay for camping with the kids, even with the midges :). The toilets were immaculate and plenty of shower rooms. We had a mix up with our pitch (i thought i had booked an electric pitch but it hadn't went through on hipcamp), the owner was brilliant and very accommodating. I wouldn't hesitate to book again if we are down that way.

Beautiful! What a lovely stay we had, from the peaceful pitch under the trees to the clean spacious toilet block, not to mention our little camping friend the robin that came within 2 feet of us begging for some crumbs. We saw alot of different birds, a squirrel, rabbit and didn't see but heard an owl. The pitch was secluded with not another camper in sight, the only time we ran into other lovely campers was on the way to and from the toilets. Cannot recommend this place more if you are looking for peaceful surroundings, a wild camping experience or just getting back to nature. Last but not least the hosts are knowledgeable, friendly and are doing a great job of keeping the wood as nature intended with minimal trace campers have ever been. I will look forward to my next visit!

We stayed in the Frodo pod for 2 nights, it was really a wonderful experience! The bed is soft and comfortable, and the shower is strong and nice. We love the bird house just a few meters away from our pod, we were able to see a lot of birds and squirrels during the morning, we also saw a dear! We had a fire pit night in the forest which is really cool and chill. There is a lovely welcome card with our name on it in the pod as well. We highly recommend Trawden Forest Glamping, Mark and Angie are really friendly and supportive!

My daughter and I just returned from a 2 night stay. The accommodation, the view, the hospitality and the lovely little extra touches made us feel so welcome and exceeded all expectations. The accommodation was clean and bright and had everything we needed and more. Emma was a superb host and nothing was too much trouble. What an absolutely perfect getaway in the quiet, watching the sunrise and the sunset with the sounds of the birds, seeing the rabbits running around. Simply cannot recommend this place enough for couples or families.

This is such an amazing location and such luxury! Everything you need is right there! The lovely couple who run the location were lovely and really accommodating with my strange request to cook with my cast iron pot on the open fire, even providing more firewood! We will be back!
