Bank Top Camping is a long established, green-field camping and caravan-park with immaculate facilities, offering peaceful surroundings and a plethora of flora and local wildlife. We offer grass pitches with EHUs with lovely views over the Vale of Pickering. We welcome families, groups of friends, bikers, walkers, DoE and rally groups who seek a relaxing break in tranquil surroundings. We have a selection of our own animals and welcome your pets. A luxury amenities block with under-floor heating, free showers and separate family and disabled facilities serves our immaculate park. There is a laundry room with a washer, tumble dryer, fridge and freezer; a covered washing up area with plenty of hot water and washing up essentials and chemical disposal facility. With pitches around the periphery of the large camping field there is plenty of space for children’s games. There is an additional smaller paddock that is well suited for larger groups; all pitches have electric hook up available. We welcome dogs but request that they are kept on a lead whilst on site; there is easy access from the park directly onto local woodland walks. There are several wooden picnic tables/benches available for your use. There is a small cafe on site selling freshly ground coffee, tea, Brymor Ice-cream and our own honey.

Anonymous The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional grass site

Liked: The location was lovely. They had a little woodland walk. Grass was good to put the tent on. Campsite is very peaceful, no noise other than wildlife. Only stayed one night but would definitely walk to the pub if stayed longer. Toilets and showers nice and clean. Ice creams availableand their own honey from the hives.

Disliked: Nothing.

Joe G. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional grass site

Liked: Really nice spot easy to get to, lady is very friendly and the site is well maintained, the site has loos, washing facilities, multiple water points, a washing up area, gray water disposal and bins. There’s also a little shop selling ice cream and baked goods. It’s a good spot if your wanting to go to Dalby or the rounding area but want to be away from the busier sites.

Disliked: Might be a bit tight in larger vehicles or wide vehicles to get down the country road
