  • Well-maintained glamping site with a licensed shop and café
  • A 20-minute drive from Dalby Forest and half an hour from Scarborough
  • On-site café, kitchen facilities, picnic benches and a barbecue
When you’re browsing for a North Yorkshire getaway, you’ll be wanting a site that really looks after its facilities and guests. And that place is Hawthorn Glamping at the award-winning Vale of Pickering Caravan Park. Settle in to your accommodation, right at the edge of the North York Moors National Park, and look forward to an outdoor break with lots of amenities – and no need to put up a tent, as your accommodation is all set up for your arrival. Just get there and you’re immediately all good to get into holiday mode. Cooking outdoors is possible as a charcoal barbecue is provided, so all you’ll need to pack is a bit of bedding, clothes and some cooking utensils. Eat your meals on the picnic bench – with a parasol set up to protect from the rays – or skip the self-catering and head to the on-site café for tea or coffee and plenty of homebaked goodies including croissants and breakfast items. If this all sounds like everything’s been thoughtfully planned at this site, that’s because it has. The park was originally set up in 1985, having began with five caravans in the corner of a field, so the owners have had plenty of time to improve the place. They also keep the grounds and communal facilities in tip-top condition – from the play area and football pitch to the well-stocked licensed shop. Here to explore? Have a chat with the owners about where in Yorkshire to yomp around – they love to share local knowledge and help you plan your days out.

Lotus bell tent

Liked: Lovely well maintained site with great facilities

Disliked: Chose this site for as it advertised as no group or associated bookings, low noise rules and a peaceful stay however this is not the case. The two glamping pods next to us were occupied by a very large group who had other groups of friends staying across the site who all gathered round the glamping pods on a night making it very noisy. Also loud music was being played by others late on a night with no policing of the noise rules

Lotus bell tent

Liked: Stayed in one of the bell tents. Lovely quiet spot and the tents were great, very sizeable and comfy too. You’re provided with all the necessities for your stay. The site itself is very quiet with friendly staff and guests and is extremely well maintained, clean and modern. Lovely little cafe and playground for the kids (playground could probably do with a bit of an update). Cleaning/ shower facilities looked brand new. Super clean, fresh and modern!

Lotus bell tent

Liked: Perfect location for families. Very near to Scarborough, flamingo land, Dalby forest and much more. Facilities exceptional and the Bell tent accommodation with all the extras was perfect for a relaxing and comfortable stay. Staff very friendly and helpful. Nice little park and a shop and a cafe serving very nice breakfasts with occasional tasty pizza nights. Our family would highly recommend.
