Hi there

We stayed at Runswick bay camping site near Whitby - plenty of room for kids to run around and down a steep road to the beach - rock pools etc and coastal path walks. Ten minutes drive to Whitby. http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=2752

Noticed the camping field was large and you had quite a decent sized plot. Caravan field was much more regimented and not as much space between units - once again, it pays to go without electric, much more freedom and space.

HOpe you find somewhere good to go!

It sounds like our park will be ideal for you, please read our reviews and see what you think. Here is the website link:

Ooo Val, you beat me to it, I was going to say Riverside too. Its just down the road from me, and seems very popular. It takes us about 45 mins to drive to Morley, to give you some idea of distance!

Also the Harrogate/Knaresborough area would be about an hour from you. Ripley seems to get good reviews, although Ive not been myself. Or Cote Ghyll, Osmotherly, I reckon would be about an hour and a quarter, looks a long way but most of it is M62 - A1 so wouldnt take as long as you think.

I will also second Holme Valley. Ducks and a great stream to paddle in.

The Ranch at Cliffe, Selby is not far from you and 10 mins into Selby. Only a short drive then to York.

Brandy Whalf is not too far and a fantastic spot for kids..Lots of chickens. Godfrey puts a bouncy castle up for the kids in the summer foc.

Clumber park.

50 minutes easy drive from Leeds. Endless woodlands to play in, nice play area, easy pitching, 10 minutes drive to Sainsburys.

Our usual impulsive site: if we feel like a couple of nights away: its so easy.
