Lodge and log cabin parks around the North York Moors range from forest cabin sites inside the National Park to lodges on the edge of York. This guide lists parks we have checked on their own websites, with where they are, whether they have hot tubs and whether they take dogs. We take no commission and carry no paid listings, and we do not give prices, which change by date.

Before you book
- Hot tub or jacuzzi: listings use both words for the same thing. Check whether the tub is private to your lodge.
- Dogs: pet-friendly lodges are usually a set number and book up first.
- Getting there: most lodge parks need a car; buses rarely reach them.
- Owners-only parks: some parks near Pickering sell lodges to owners and do not take holiday bookings.
