A large family run park established for over 35 years, Akebar Park lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. As well as our touring park we offer two golf courses: a challenging 18-hole championship course, and also a par 3 course, fantastic for beginners and juniors.

At the top of the park is our very own Friars Head restaurant and pub, which serves delicious a la carte evening meals as well as tasty lunchtime bar meals. And if you're not feeling hungry, why not sample one of our fine local hand-pulled ales?

We hope to see you in the future.

Pretty good, if a bit worn around the edges and lax on noise rules 11th Jul 2013 Richard_F1 (Family with young children, 1 review) Confirmed Date stayed: Jul 2013 Recommend to friends Visit again Liked: Lovely setting Space to spread out if needed no fussy restrictions Very friendly reception staff Lots to see and do in the area - Bedale, Masham, Ripon all close by and very nice to visit. Nice pub at the top of the site Disliked: Only real dislike was no enforcement of the camp site rules, particularly on noise after 10.30 - on our first night we had a group of families whooping it up until the early hours (I have young children myself, I know they can be noisy but I also know that very young children should not be running around shrieking in the dark at close to midnight whilst their equally loud and shrieking parents play poor quality pop music and get ever more inebriated) To be fair this was not repeated a second time but didn't help on the first night Couple of minor points: Plenty of toilets and showers but could have done with a morning clean Food prices in the pub were close to fine dining charges	Location Value for money Accommodation (No rating) Facilities/activities Customer service Child friendliness Cleanliness Overall 7 Share this review: Facebook Twitter Google Plus

Clean and tidy, nice site 20th Jul 2013 Anne B. (Young couple, 1 review) Confirmed Date stayed: Jul 2013 Recommend to friends Visit again Liked: The weather, the pitches, being able to choose where we camped, the cleanliness, the space between pitches. The fact that when we arrived we were able to camp at a lower price on a non-electric pitch (unavailable online). Disliked: Nowhere to hang your belongings in the shower	Location Value for money Accommodation Facilities/activities Customer service Child friendliness Cleanliness Overall 10 Share this review: Facebook Twitter Google Plus

I would not recommend to a friend 16th Jul 2013 Malcolm_M1 (Mature couple, 1 review) Confirmed Date stayed: Jul 2013 Recommend to friends Visit again Liked: The idea of open electrics Disliked: The un-kept appearance of the site generally with the waste bin at the office reception overflowing. Waste bin areas overflowing with rubbish and looking as though the area had never been cleaned out for a good length of time. Stream adjacent to the toilet block smelling with debris/empty beer cans never being removed. Toilet block (particularly the ladies side) never cleaned properly. Sanitary towel containers dirty. No hand wash in the gents toilets. The Pond adjacent the static caravans covered in green slime and timber work round it fallen down.

A nice place to camp, within easy reach of Dales towns 23rd Jul 2013 Paul S. (Mature couple, 1 review) Confirmed Date stayed: Jul 2013 Recommend to friends Visit again Liked: The flat even tent pitches with electric hook-up. There was plenty of choice even on a very sunny weekend. The toilet blocks were clean and functional, with plenty of hot water available at all times. After reading some of the reviews for this site we were a little concerned prior to our arrival, we needn't have worried as we had a very pleasant stay and will return soon. Disliked: There was nothing about the site which we disliked.
