- Peaceful adults-only rural North Yorkshire site for CAMC members only
- Fountains Abbey and Brimham Rocks 10 minutes' drive
- Dog-friendly touring pitches with easy access to footpaths
Grab your walking boots, your fishing rods, your partner, your dog… but leave the kids at home, because Gillmoor Grange Certificated Location is a peaceful site that’s available to adults only.
You’ll need your Caravan and Motorhome Club membership to hand too, as the touring pitches at this small North Yorkshire site are for CAMC members only. With an acre of land to play with, that means each pitch stretches out to a generous 12 metres, giving guests plenty of space to set up their awning, gazebo and camping chairs in comfort. It’s worth noting that some pitches are slightly sloping so you may need to bring levelling blocks.
Electric hookups and drinking water supplies are provided for each pitch, and you’ll have access to shared amenities including an Elsan and grey waste point, a rinsing tap and recycling bins. There’s also space set aside for visitor parking at no extra cost – handy if you’d like to have friends over to visit.
This is a peaceful rural setting that’s surrounded by footpaths and bridleways, making it a particularly good spot for those who like to get out for a good walk during their break. There’s also a coarse fishing lake half a mile away, and the setting on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park puts you within easy reach of places like Brimham Rocks and Fountains Abbey.
Shops and other amenities are about five miles away in Ripley, but there’s a pub three miles away (or a mile if you walk there along the paths) for a carvery dinner.
