Camp sites are incredibly rare in the North York Moors. This one was completely full, this pitch being taken soon after the photograph was.

Cote Ghyll Caravan & Camping Park

One of the infrequent caravan sites in the North York Moors. The sector seems dominated by the clubs which is no use to infrequent visitors to England. This site is very good with excellent facilities.
