Givendale Scout Camp Site

About the site

The whole site is located in a large dale with a small stream that can be used for games and activities. A short walk/ Hike will take you to either Bishop Wilton or Millington (Grid Ref SE819538).

Managed by Pocklington Scout District, Givendale Campsite is available to use by every group in the District both for camping and for one day activities. Givendale is also available to Scout Groups from outside the district to book and use.

As it is classed as a greenfield site under the Scout Association Rules, anyone wishing to use the site will need to ensure that they have the correct permit to be able to do so.

Site and Facilities

Givendale is an ideal campsite for back to basics camping or as a base for getting out and about on the Wolds, Within the site, there are four camping areas, each big enough for two patrol tents.  Each camping area includes an altar fire. In addition there is a campfire circle and a building (14ft x 24ft) that has running water and a wood-burning stove.

Within the building, there is a double stainless steel sink with associated stainless steel benches. There are also some wooden tables and benches. 12V solar lighting is provided within the building.

There are no mains toilets on the site, however, there are 2 composting toilets and 2 urinals located on the back of the building within a purpose build shed on site.

Whilst the site does not have mains electricity, there are lights and power points in the building that can be plugged into a generator (using a blue 240v plug), or alternatively into a car power point with an invertor. Anyone wishing to make use of such facilities will need to provide their own source of power as these are not supplied with bookings.
