Welcome to heathfield caravan park

  • Excellently-maintained site in the Nidderdale valley
  • Direct access to the Nidderdale Way; 1.5 miles from Pateley Bridge
  • Spectacular views, large pitches, shop, library and spotless amenities
Who’s up for hikes and strolls in the Nidderdale valley, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty very close to the Nidderdale Way? If this is very much your sort of hol, Heathfield Caravan Park is your place. Set within the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the wooded valley of Upper Nidderdale, Heathfield is a popular but peaceful place in a green setting of walks and bike rides, horse riding and fishing. It’s a mile and a half’s walk from the park to the small and famed town of Pateley Bridge, passing along the banks of the River Nidd and Foster Beck; once in town – you may be interested to hear – Pateley Bridge is home to the oldest sweet shop in the country... And the amenities? ‘The cleanest I’ve used’ and ‘some of the best facilities we've come across’ are just a teeny selection of former guests’ opinions on the Heathfield ablutions: toilets, hot showers, a washing-up area and a modern laundry room with washing machine, tumble dryer and ironing facilities available at all hours. Also on site, in the reception building, is a library where guests can pick up a book to keep (please leave a donation in the charity box) and browse through sheaves of info on local attractions, bus times and places to eat. Reception also has a shop selling groceries, toiletries and essentials; supermarkets and restaurants are in Pateley Bridge.

What customers say

This immaculately kept site is highly recommended for its beautiful Yorkshire Dales location, offering peace and quiet with excellent amenities. Visitors consistently praise the spotlessly clean, modern shower and toilet facilities, often described as the best they've encountered. Pitches are spacious, level, and well-maintained, with many benefiting from EHU and water. The site is praised for its dog-friendly atmosphere, with a large, well-regarded dog walking area. Easy access to Pateley Bridge via a picturesque riverside walk is a significant draw. Staff are frequently noted as friendly, helpful, and welcoming. While minor points were raised about WiFi speeds during peak times and the occasional closure of the local pub, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many visitors expressing a desire to return.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Immaculate site with excellent shower block and wash facilities. The site was pristine and couldn't be faulted in any way. Friendly host who quickly came to our aid when our calor gas fitting needed a slight adjustment.
Will definitely visit again and highly recommend.
Wifi extended to our pitch which was quite a distance from the reception bonus points for that

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Facilities were great, the toilet and shower rooms were possibly the best we've ever seen at a campsite - large, well thought-out, very modern and kept immaculately clean.
Site was within easy walking distance of Pateley Bridge and we also did other walks straight from the site.

Local attractions

Pateley Bridge is the starting and finishing point for the Nidderdale Way, 53 miles of walking, cycling and horse riding trails. Have some time in town too before or after your hike to visit the Nidderdale Museum, the art and design museums in King Street, the pool and gym… and that aforementioned historic sweet shop. As it’s Yorkshire, there are historical highlights aplenty: Ripley Castle and its Capability Brown landscaped gardens are 25 minutes’ drive away, towards Harrogate, and the 12th-century Augustinian Bolton Abbey (30 minutes) also has nature trails winding through Strid Wood and to the hunting lodge of Barden Tower. Also take your historical curiosity to the dungeon depths of medieval Skipton Castle (35 minutes), and to the stately homes and gardens of Newby Hall and Harewood House, 35 and 45 minutes away. A must-see is Yorkshire’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, the spectacular Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal (20 minutes), home to one of the biggest abbey ruins in the country and a medieval park with 500 deer. Going underground? Caves, gorges and geological sites are all around too: try How Stean Gorge and its roaring waterfalls and Tom Taylor’s Cave (15 minutes), or the Gordale Scar gorge 55 minutes away. And if you're tired and thirsty after all that... head to Harrogate (40 minutes), to sup some spa waters and mash a tea at Betty’s Tea Rooms.
