Nothing makes you feel closer to nature than camping, don't you think?
Cuddling down in your sleeping bag after a long day exploring, listening to the sounds of the night around you as you drift off to sleep, pure bliss. Not forgetting waking up and sitting in the hazy morning light, quietly cooking up a hot breakfast, still half asleep and happy.
Whether you're a purist who prefers it rugged and real (80's style) or a glamper who loves the vibe but can't live without the mod cons - or something in between - we've got you zipped up with our five handpicked campsites on Route YC.
St Helen's In The Park - One for Watersport's
St Helen's In the Park is perfect for those who want great water sports facilities right on the doorstep. Adventure awaits at North Yorkshire Water Park, situated across the road from the site, where you can dive into the Aquapark, Zipline across the lake or take a gentle open water swim on this stunning freshwater lake. If it's adrenaline-filled experiences you're after you're spoilt for choice!
Speaking of choice, St Helen's has accommodation in abundance. Choose from 33 spacious, flat camping pitches available from two fields - one which shares the children's play area, and one which is in a quieter location closer to the nearby pub, the Downe Arms. Pets are welcome but there are pet-free pitches too.
For those who like solid walls, their purpose-built wooden camping pods offer a hybrid camping experience that still ticks the boxes.

Broomfield's Farm - Cycling Heaven
Broomfield's Farm is just two minutes drive away from Whitby town centre and part of the farm lies within the North York Moors National Park, making it ideal for walking and cycling along the Cinder Path to Robin Hoods Bay.
Glamping is the thing to do here, each of the ten pods has a separate bedroom with a double and a single bed, plus the pull-out sofa bed in the living room means that four can sleep comfortably.
Flexibility comes in the two price options - for guests who bring their own sleeping bags and equipment, the pods are £45 per pod per night. For those who want to travel light, bed linen, duvets and towels can be included in the price for £55 per pod per night.
Either way, each pod is equipped with a TV, microwave, kettle and a small heater in the living room.
