Bickley Rigg Farm Glamping Wagons

Handmade gypsy wagons on a working North Yorkshire farm, sitting above a private valley beside Dalby Forest, with a host who still brings breakfast.

Bickley Rigg Farm sits on the edge of Dalby Forest in the North York Moors National Park, a proper working farm where Bruce and his family run a tiny cluster of handmade gypsy caravans and a converted barn cottage. There are four pitches at most, each with its own view down a valley that is entirely private. The forest is right there.

The wagons are genuinely handmade: Bruce has hand-painted gypsy-style details throughout, and the vintage interiors have the comfortable clutter of a place someone actually built rather than ordered from a catalogue. Each caravan has its own compost toilet, a fire pit, and access to a shower block a short walk away. Welcome provisions are locally sourced, and the hosts are the kind who show you round and wave you off.

The setting earns the premium pricing for couples or small groups. Solo travellers should factor in the per-pitch cost, which makes the value case thinner for one person. A short drive reaches Hackness, the Nag's Head in Scalby, and the mountain biking and walking trails of Dalby Forest.

Before you book

The site is rural and remote enough to require a good look at directions before arrival; reflective markers help after dark.
You bring your own bed linen and sleeping bag for the wagons.

“A farm-built, host-led glamping site where the setting, the handmade interiors, and Bruce's hospitality do the work that no amount of spec-sheet facilities could.”
