Around the site

  • Peaceful North Yorkshire park 10 minutes' drive from Knaresborough
  • Harrogate and Fountains Abbey 20 minutes' drive; York 40 minutes
  • Family-run park with spacious pitches, play area and dog walk
Make Kingfisher Holiday Park your base and you’ll be very well placed for all sorts of North Yorkshire days out. This family-friendly site is in a peaceful countryside location about 10 minutes’ drive from the market town of Knaresborough, putting you in a handy spot for rural pursuits, town time and major attractions. Knaresborough is a handy source of shops and places to eat, and the historic town is also home to a castle, a museum, riverside walks and the intriguing Mother Shipton’s Cave. Harrogate (20 minutes’ drive) and York (40 minutes) are other great options for urban wanders – and they can both be reached by train or bus too. Meanwhile, the Nidderdale National Landscape is also close by for scenic walks and attractions like Fountains Abbey. The family-run park is also a family-friendly spot, with a play area and a dog walk area (you’ll just need to keep your dog on a short lead here); there are plenty more places to get out for a walk nearby too, including a local nature reserve with ponds. Pitches are all nicely spacious and have electric connections; shared facilities include a launderette, a washing-up area and a well-equipped bathroom block.

What customers say

This is a well-maintained and clean site praised for its friendly staff and peaceful atmosphere. Guests appreciate the spacious pitches, lovely grounds for walks, and proximity to Knaresborough and Harrogate. Facilities, particularly showers, are generally clean and hot, though some visitors suggest more could be provided. Limited phone signal and Wi-Fi are noted drawbacks, alongside occasional issues with pitch marking and toilet cleanliness.

Large electric grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely kept site, staff really friendly and helpful, plenty to explore walking through the wooded area to the pond's.

You can also catch the local bus from outside the site, bonus.

Disliked The toilet block could do with a bit care and attention, that's the only real problem.
