View of the site looking over the play area

Scenic spacious site on the edge of the North York Moors National Park
Two playgrounds, indoor play area, bike hire and pitch and putt
Award-winning amenities, licensed shop, and homemade cakes for sale

Families, couples and even the family dog, get ready to strike gold. Popular Golden Square Touring and Camping Park on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park is an absolute gem of a site – safe, scenic, spacious, well-maintained and with enough to do to keep guests of all sizes busy for days. Once the kids are persuaded to leave the two outdoor playgrounds, indoor play area, pitch and putt and football field, countryside walks and trails start direct from the park; seaside frolics at Scarborough and surrounds are an hour away, and a sports centre with indoor pool is five minutes’ drive down the road. Those who prefer to take to two wheels can hire bikes on site and ask the Golden Square owners for info on the best cycling and mountain bike trails in the area; there be loads. Away from the hum of activities, Golden Square has glittering little touches all over: two luxury stonebuilt and heated toilet and shower blocks – previous winners of the local Loo of the Year accolade – as well as two disabled/family bathrooms. An on-site licensed shop sells caravan accessories, toys, games, groceries and essentials like bread and milk (it sells daily newspapers and homemade cakes too; a golden opportunity for afternoon relaxing in the sun, perhaps…). Pitches are warm, sheltered and kept secluded by specially planted trees, hedges and shrubs; the park has also been designed on three levels so that even in the height of the summer season it doesn’t feel crowded. And as it’s North Yorkshire, the views at Golden Square are gold-standard too: moorland, forest and farm stretching all around and into the Yorkshire moors.

Beth C. Apr 2025

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Facilities were excellent and everywhere was pristine. Modern and clean shower and toilets, showers and dishwashing area. Great on site shop with all the essentials and sweets/toys for the kids. Two fantastic parks for the kids with a football field, basketball and a large dog walking area. Games room with pool, table tennis, table football. If you’re camping there’s also a hut with hot drinks machine, microwave and freezer. Very peaceful and scenic area and good access. Coffee trailer there on a weekend serving hot and cold drinks and cakes. There is wifi available to purchase on site but I found the 4G coverage was excellent so did not need wifi.

Disliked: The only thing I’d say was a negative was the remote location. It’s not a huge issue and we didn’t have a problem as we’d taken everything we needed but if travelling in a large motorhome like us, and don’t have use of a car to travel while on site then there’s nowhere nearby to walk to and nearest bus stop is a walk of a mile away. Suggest maybe a fish n chip van or pizza van on a weekend?

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The site was great, there were two outdoor play areas for kids and an indoor barn with soft play frame, pool table and indoor toys. Staff were all really friendly and accomodating and it was all well kept and clean.

Shower facilities were spotless and seemed to be cleaned throughout the day
