Kildale Camping Barn and Campsite

• A working farm setting with livestock nearby, so expect farm sounds and movement rather than resort calm.
• Grass pitching with some sloping ground, so it pays to walk the field before you choose a spot.
• Open views over the surrounding farmland, which is what reviewers tend to single out.
• If you take photos, the farm view is the obvious subject; it may be worth seeing how the light sits across it in the morning and the evening.

• Postcode YO21 2RN, Park Farm, Kildale.
• The farm lane is after the second railway bridge, before Kildale village.
• Some older sat-navs route in via Battersby on a road described as unsuitable and treacherous, so ignore that line and approach through Kildale.
• Kildale station is about a mile away on the Esk Valley Railway.

• Coins for the shower meter.
• A power bank or cables for the shared sockets, since your pitch has no power.
• Pegs and a mat that cope with uneven, sloping grass, plus a torch for walking to the facilities.
• Food you can heat quickly, since the microwave and kettle do more work here than a full kitchen would.

It is a farm, not a holiday park: shared basic washrooms, no pitch electrics, uneven ground and animals close by. If you need pitch hookups or private facilities, look elsewhere. If you want a small, rural, walker-friendly pitch minutes from the Cleveland Way and about a mile from a station, it does that well.
