Thorpe Hall Caravan & Camping Site

Alan Rogers Review of Thorpe Hall Caravan & Camping Site

Just outside the village of Rudston, in the grounds of Thorpe Hall, this pleasant small touring park is six miles from the sea at Bridlington. Enthusiastically managed, it is set on flat grass, largely enclosed by the old kitchen garden wall. The 78 large pitches have 16A electrical hook-ups and TV connections. There are no caravan holiday homes or seasonal pitches. Tourist information leaflets on a range of local walks are provided, and visitors can arrange guided walks around the estate.

Bridlington's shops, bars and restaurants are just five miles away, as is its historic Old Town. Other attractions include the harbour with its heritage museum, the Spa Theatre and Ballroom, Sewerby Hall and Gardens and Leisure World.

Two glamping bell tents are available to hire which are adults only, a minimum of 2 nights stay are required. No pets are allowed.

Nearby are Flamborough Head with its lighthouse and Bempton Cliffs (RSPB). Days out could include a drive down the coast to Spurn Point or out into the Yorkshire Wolds. Visits to Scarborough, to Beverley or York, each with its Minster and racecourse, or even to Pickering and the North York Moors Railway.
