Dobella Lane Farm Camping
A small working-farm stopover in the Vale of York where the owner, Margaret, is the reason people come back.
Dobella Lane Farm sits on a working arable holding just outside Goole, in the wide, flat country of the Vale of York. Ten pitches, basic facilities, and a host who greets arrivals personally and checks in throughout your stay. Margaret has built a reputation on attentiveness: campers who showed up late, travelling from Scotland or stopping off the M62, found her there and willing.
The setting delivers the wide-open spaces and wildlife areas that the Vale does well. RSPB Blacktoft Sands is nearby for anyone who wants binoculars over breakfast. For day trips, York, Leeds, Sheffield and Hull are each within 45 minutes' drive, which makes this a genuinely useful base rather than a destination in itself.
Facilities are honest and limited: toilets, a washing-up area, fresh water and chemical disposal, but no showers. Tents and trailer tents go in the non-electric Paddock; the five Orchard pitches have electric hookup and take caravans, campervans and motorhomes as well as tents. Dogs are welcome, and pricing runs at the cheerful end of the scale. The M62 is audible during the day but reviewers consistently report quiet nights.
Before you book
- No showers on site.
- M62 motorway nearby, audible during the day, though most guests report it doesn't disturb overnight.
“Dobella Lane Farm earns its following through the owner's hands-on warmth, not its facilities list. A reliable, affordable base for exploring East Yorkshire and the cities beyond.”
