    The CAMC CL is an open grass field. There are no steps to access the toilet and shower other than the threshold to the door. There is good lighting, a shower seat and plenty of space inside, however they are not specifically “disabled friendly”.


    As with all static caravans there is a significant step up to get into the caravan and to get into the shower, however other than that the accommodation is on one level.

  • Is the site child friendly?

    Yes! For the right type of child who enjoys the outdoors (but understands they cannot be free range in the farmyard!) we are a great location. We have good WiFi links on both the CL and in the Bothy and Static Caravan, however ‘entertainment’ on site is really about getting out walking, cycling and enjoying nature.


    For our younger guests a travel cot, highchair and blackout blind can be provided within the static caravan and the shower has a reasonably deep tray and plug to make a small bath. We have accommodated twins in travel cots in one room in the static and the layout is quite flexible so can be made to suit your requirements. Please advise if you have any special requirements at the time of booking and we will try our best to accommodate them.

  • What do I need to bring?

    CAMC CL – your caravan/motorhome, bike, walking boots, dog and deck chair then sit back and enjoy!


    The Static caravan has all the kitchen equipment you would expect but if something is missing please just ask.


    Duvets and Pillows are provided, and bed linen is charged at £10 for doubles and £5 for singles if required.


    We do not provide towels.

  • Can we have a BBQ?

    Only if used responsibly!

    Please be aware of your setting, your neighbours and the wind direction.


    Avoid BBQing and open fires when the weather is dry, especially prior to harvest when standing crops could easilly take light.


    Please raise disposable BBQ’s safely off the ground (higher than you would expect) so that they do not kill off the grass. There are brick in the bin area which you can use raise the BBQ off the ground.


    In the curtilage of the Retreat or the Bothy please BBQ on the gravel or concrete with the accommodation door closed. Unfortunately we do not allow fire pits near the selfcatered accommodation.


    Please ensure disposable BBQ’s are cold before putting in the bin.

  • Can I bring my pet?

    All pets that you can accommodate within your caravan/motorhome are welcome on the CAMC CL, but it goes without saying that we expect you to clean up after them and ensure that they do not disturb any other guest’s holiday.


    If you plan to bring more than 2 dogs we request that you contact us before booking.

  • Is cutlery/crockery provided?

    The static Caravan has a everything you should need, if you cannot find what you need please just ask, we’ll probably have one in the house

    Your adventure starts right from the gate with circular routes in both directions. Head north up the Rigg and there is a 4.5m route if you turn right at the top and a 5.5 mile route if you turn left at the top. To see these routes and more have a look at our interactive map on the Beadlam Rigg page.

  • Can I tow a caravan up Sutton Bank (East Thirsk on the A170)?

    Sutton Bank is a 1:4 hill with a Hair Pin Bend - Caravans are Prohibited and often block it if they try to get up so please save yourself the embarrassment and use the caravan route, its not much longer, but is much more beautiful! The caravan route is signposted from Thirsk and goes via Coxwold and Ampleforth.

    Most villages in the area have great play parks. Use our interactive map to find their location in Helmsley, Nawton, Beadlam Grange Farm Shop, Kirkbymoorside, Wombleton and Hovingham.

  • Places to eat and Local Takeaways

    We are very lucky to be served by some great places to eat in the area, our favourite is Canadian Fields in Nawton.  Check out our interactive map for a list of what is available from Michelin Star restaurants to kebab houses, however unfortunately none of them deliver to site.

Every morning you can wake up to magnificent, breath-taking views across the Vale of York to the south.
We are located to the top of a no through road so there is no passing traffic and numerous off-road walking and cycling routes start at the farm entrance with breath taking views within a short distance from your accommodation.
