From charming seaside villages and sweeping beaches to beautiful moorlands and picture-perfect rolling dales, there’s a reason Yorkshire is known as ‘God’s own country.’
The biggest county in England may have a population roughly twice the size of Wales but outside of its historic cities and buzzing urban areas there’s a huge swathe of open space and rural charm to discover. And what better way to do it than behind the wheel of a campervan, travelling at your own pace and exploring parts of this spectacular county not often reached by visitors? Below you’ll find six of the best campervan campsites Yorkshire has to offer.
Yorkshire Dales National Park
This stunning national park is renowned for its rolling hills, picturesque valleys, and charming villages. But as well as the incredible scenery, it’s also defined by the sense of peace and quiet on offer. And with a good choice of Yorkshire Dales campervan sites, this is the perfect place for a family getaway.
North York Moors National Park
Explore more than 1400 miles of heather-covered moorland and rugged coastline across the North York Moors, dotted with historic castles and abbeys, traditional villages, and incredible wildlife. With a good choice of campervan sites in North Yorkshire, often located in spectacular settings, it’s a great base from which to explore more of the county.
York
The historic city of York is a real must-visit, with its winding mediaeval streets, imposing Minster, and ancient city walls. The world-famous Jorvik Viking Centre is also great fun for all the family.
Whitby
This classic Yorkshire seaside village is well known for its maritime history, world-class fish and chips, and historic harbour. But there’s a more mysterious side to the town too, with Whitby widely regarded as the birthplace of the novel Dracula.
Scarborough
The ideal destination for some good old-fashioned family seaside fun, Scarborough is blessed with a long stretch of sandy beach, lively amusement parks, and a historic castle. You can also take a ride on the Scarborough Spa Express steam train.
Haworth
The familiar cobbled streets of Haworth have graced the big and small screen countless times, with its timeless good looks almost defining Yorkshire in many people’s minds. But there’s also the literary association with the Bronte sisters and Parsonage Museum if you’re in the mood for culture.
Whether you’re a regular visitor or making your first trip to Yorkshire, there’s always more to see and do in ‘God’s own country’ than the time available. But staying and travelling in a campervan gives you the freedom and flexibility to see as much of this spectacular county as possible.
