  • Farm site near Boltby Forest in the North York Moors National Park
  • A 10-minute drive to the Cleveland Way; 20 minutes from Sutton Bank
  • Firepits and picnic benches; courtyard space with seats and hammock
High Paradise Farm is very much a wildlife haven… in the North York Moors National Park alongside Boltby Forest, this site attracts a load of wildlife, but it’s also a nice place for guests (and their dogs) to find a base for their adventure, build stick houses in the forest and simply revel in the outdoor spaces. The site is on the eight-mile band between Thirsk (10 minutes’ drive) and Helmsley (25 minutes), but don’t be fooled. The site is still rural. It’s a good drive away from either of the nearby towns and the roads are narrow, twisty and a little bumpy, but worth the journey. The skies are pretty special at night time and it’s quiet here too, aside from the sound of birdsong. The facilities around the site include an amenities block with toilets, a shower and a dishwashing area that may come in handy after a firepit (each pitch has its own picnic bench and firepit). There’s also a chilled-out communal courtyard space with seats and a hammock. In Boltby, 10 minutes’ drive away, you’ll be able to pick your adventure – perhaps horse trekking with the local stables or picking up the Cleveland Way, which runs around the national park. For a pub trip, Hawnby (15 minutes’ drive) has just the place. There are a few other pubs within around 15 minutes’ drive of the site or Helmsey’s eateries are a little further out for those of you who have a picker palate.

Woodland Glade safari tent

Liked: Really great site. Lovely cafe & shop selling local produce & fabulous heather honey from an onsite bee hive! The safari tent was spacious & surprisingly warm & dry as we had rain the whole time! Fire pit under cover right next to the back of the tent provided a lovely place to sit at night. Friendly welcome from the farm & site owners & we really enjoyed our stay & will be booking to come again next year!

Disliked: Nothing.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: We had the whole site to ourselves! It was a very peaceful spot, excellent for walking/cycling and visiting Sutton Bank. Our children loved going to see the pony and goats on site and watching the tractors work the nearby fields. Great to have a picnic table and fire pit for each pitch. Being able to preorder logs for the fire pit was useful and they burned well. The brownies from the cafe were delicious!

Disliked: The toilets were a little further from the pitches than I’d have liked, but not the end of the world and they were well kept and clean.

Woodland Glade safari tent

Liked: Lovely relaxed Atmosphere of the farm and campsite. Outdoor toilets that are a better option than indoor when camping because then they do not smell. Indoor cafe area is lovely and original. Friendly owner & staff.

Disliked: You cannot park the car right next to the big safari tent, but when there are plenty of you it is only about 50m trips to the car to car your things in
