GET EXCITED

Glamping has really taken off as the UK short break of choice for people all ages and from all walks of life, thanks to the simplicity yet convenience of this very appealing type of back-to-basics holiday.

But how to find a suitable site for your break?

It might even feel like your vision of the perfect glamping holiday doesn’t exist! Location is a big deal – you want to be surrounded by countryside but not literally stuck in the middle of nowhere; you’d like peaceful, unspoilt views but need to know there’s lots of attractions, shops and beautiful beaches within a couple of miles; you want your children to be able to play outdoors all day in a safe yet fun environment; and wouldn’t it be wonderful if just for once, a holiday park didn’t put up its prices during the school holidays?

Well, at Pinewood Park, we’ve got the answer to your dilemma. We make it our mission to ensure you enjoy the glamping trip you dream of, without any of the penalties families often suffer. All you need to do is turn up, then let your imagination run wild…

Your hosts


Meet Kerry and Dave Woodhead, owners of Pinewood Park, and you’ll quickly realise that giving visitors a magical, memorable holiday is totally what makes them tick. This desire to ensure holidaymakers enjoy every second of their stay means the couple are always on their toes, creating regular updates and improvements to what has become an absolute gem of a glamping site just outside Scarborough, in North Yorkshire 

One feature that is proving popular at Pinewood Park is the accommodation with hot tubs, as more and more people choose to treat themselves to a leisurely hot tub break.

“Each outdoor hot tub is for the exclusive use of the occupants of the accommodation. Some are bubbly, some are wood-fired, but they are all clean and warm and surrounded by fairy lights. We understand that even people who want an active holiday and are out and about all day still appreciate a chance to relax, so you can look forward to quietly chilling out under the stars with a glass of fizz,” Kerry added.

So whether you are visiting Pinewood Park with a friend or partner, as part of a larger group of friends and family, or for a wedding or other celebration, one thing every single visitor can be assured of is a genuine Yorkshire welcome from Kerry and Dave, and a whole host of new memories to treasure.
