Tent Camping Pitches in York

Sometimes the best break is the simplest one: a tent on soft grass, a stove for the morning brew and a quiet evening outside. Wagtail Park offers traditional tent camping in a peaceful 10-acre countryside setting in Huntington, on the edge of York.

If you are looking for campsites in York for tents that feel rural but keep the city within easy reach, our grass pitches put you minutes from York Minster without the noise of the city.

Traditional Grass Camping in North Yorkshire

Our tent pitches are proper camping ground: level grass, open skies and room to spread out.

Well-Maintained Grass Pitches with Electric Hook-Up Options

Our grass tent pitches near York are mown and maintained through the season, giving you a comfortable, even surface for pegging out. Choose the pitch that suits your trip:

Non-electric pitches: simple, back-to-basics camping
Electric pitches: 16-amp hook-up for lights, phone charging, a cool box or a small heater

The heated washroom block is a short walk from the camping areas, close enough for a late-night trip but far enough away to keep your pitch quiet.
