  • Small quiet site near Stokesley, with views of the Cleveland Hills
  • A half-hour drive from the coast or the centre of Middlesbrough
  • Well-placed for walks in the North York Moors National Park
This is fine a spot for folk looking to get out on walks and bike rides, or in search of other outdoor activities, that’s for sure. A small and privately-owned North Yorkshire site three miles south of the market town of Stokesley and about a half-hour drive from the centre of Middlesbrough, Southview Farm makes for a rather splendid base… The views from the site give something of a hint that the Cleveland Hills are nearby, with the huge expanse of the North York Moors National Park another option on the activities front. If you fancy a few lungfuls of sea air on one of your strolls, set forth for the coast – it’s about half an hour’s drive to Saltburn-by-the-Sea from here. Any dogs out there hopefully wagging tails at the idea of all this should be pleased to hear that they’re welcome to come along for a stay at Southview Farm. It’s also a place that allows outdoor cooks to have a go with their barbecues, although there are several places to eat, drink or pick up takeaways in Stokesley if you’d rather someone else did the honours.

Liked: This was our first time away in our touring caravan. The gentleman that greeted us very a lovely guy and even helped me push the van on to the pitch as I explained i was a caravan virgin and I would struggle to reverse in. The pitch was very level and spotless. The toilets were spotlessly clean and heated all in all we had a fantastic two nights. Thank you we will be back

Liked: 9th time here now. Think that say’s it all. We travel to Fairfield farm 340 mile from Dorset as often as we can. It’s a beautiful spot with fantastic views. Brian & John who own and run the site are two of the most friendly people you could wish to meet. Well done chaps 5 stars from us

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: I will start by saying that the owner was very friendly.

Disliked: Pitches are not allocated so you pick yourselves and I have to say that some of the hard standing pitches had grass growing over the gravel. The grass around the pitches was like a bog as there is no drainage whatsoever. Electric points looked like that have had better days. Elsen point was absolutely disgusting as it flows into a field behind ( see photos) and backs up. No management of this whatsoever. The shower and toilet pods weren’t clean at all and we didn’t see them being cleaned once ( unless you count one of the owners mopping the floor with a disgusting mop with brown water. No where to empty the grey waste so told to throw it in the hedge. The place is not looked after at all as too much time and effort is put into the glamping pods. At a cost of £25 a night in January it’s daylight robbery. Also this place is a danger to the environment.

From the manager: i cannot believe what i have just read these people were staying when we had a storm and it rained for 2 days non stop hence the grass was like a bog the site is drained with gravel to the surface the elsen tank got filled with rainwater which i have had emptied today you cant get these out on a weekend most of the water above the tank was rainwater i have had that tank in 15 years and never had trouble with it before but this is the wetest winter in years. if the guests had let me know i would have arranged for them to use the other tank rather than causing me a problem blocking pipework after pouring into a full tank i asked the people who wrote the review if all was ok when they left and they said it was so was shocked too read there review the mop and bucket is cleaned when i do the toilets daily it looked too me as if it had been used too clean boots i dont allocate pitches as the majority of customers like too chose were they go we can only take 7 units on in the winter i wish people would tell me of any problems when on site so the can be dealt with the hard standing on the picture is our smallest for campervans and the majority are happy with them

Local attractions

It’s likely you’ll be spending a fair bit of time out and about in the wilderness (or countryside, seaside, whatever else you’d like to call it) and with that comes some gorgeous wildlife and walking trails. Leven Valley Alpacas (20 minutes' drive) combines both – treks through an 11-acre farm with alpacas for company – while Butterfly World (25 minutes) is a rainforest with butterflies of all shapes, sizes and colours. As for those lengthier hikes, the trails at Roseberry Topping (15 minutes) will take you to the woods and a hilltop with views over Cleveland. Guisborough Forest (20 minutes) is just as adventurous, with a woodland cycling trail or hiking trails. There’s Saltburn-by-the-Sea (half an hour) when you’re craving a stroll along the seafront too… or a trip up the cliff tramway and a surfing session on the sandy beach. If you like your strolls a little more historic, you’ll have a monk’s cell and ruins of a medieval monastery to explore around the National Trust’s Mount Grace Priory (15 minutes) and at the National Trust’s Ormesbury Hall (20 minutes), an 18th-century mansion. Cleveland Ironstone Museum (35 minutes) is another historic place, with mine remains, 3D models and collections from the 19th century.
