  • Small family-run park over two secluded acres
  • A mile and a half from Bedale: handy stopover for the A1
  • Play area with café easily accessible in the local village
Off to the Yorkshire Dales? Or might you prefer the moors? Or… a bit of both? Pitch up at Pembroke Caravan Park in the village of Leeming Bar: it's only a mile and a half from Bedale, the small market town with easy access to the Dales and set snugly in between both the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors national parks. (And it's a handy A1 stopover too if you're zooming up or down the country to or from elsewhere.) Pembroke is a friendly, family-run and popular little park set in two level and secluded acres. It has a cleanly-kept shower and toilet block, a laundry room, a chemical disposal point, and washing-up facilities. Barbecues are allowed on site. For drinks and dinner, a pub is in the local village and a small supermarket is 400 metres away. Please note that while there's no play area on site and ball games aren't allowed, a large play area (with café) is easily accessible in the local village.

What customers say

This is a small, friendly, and immaculately clean campsite conveniently located just off the A1, making it an ideal stopover. Visitors praise the helpful and welcoming owners, spacious and level pitches, and the excellent condition of the facilities, including toilets and showers. The site is described as peaceful, with a pleasant atmosphere, and within walking distance of Leeming Bar village, local amenities, and the Wensleydale Railway. Occasional aircraft noise from RAF Leeming and some road noise have been noted but generally do not detract from the overall positive experience.

Deborah B.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked A lovely, small site with good sized pitches and good facilities.
We were met by the owner on site ( on a Sunday) who took time to help us and have a chat.
He directed us to a nearby pub/hotel ( walking distance), which served a cracking Sunday lunch.(The Reubens)
Although the site is conveniently placed near the main route, it is not too noisy, except for the excitement of a low flying plane (Hercules) from the nearby RAF base.

Disliked Nothing!

Local attractions

One of the most spiffing things about the immediate area around Pembroke Caravan Park is the recently refurbished Wensleydale Railway, a short and non-puffy stroll away at the station of Leeming Bar. This takes scenery seekers on a 22-mile journey up into the Yorkshire Dales on its route from Northallerton to Garsdale – and as it's Yorkshire, you'll rightly guess it's all highly pretty too. Specialist local goods, services and shops are at the nearby market towns of Bedale and Northallerton, and a little further will take explorers to other worthy Yorkshire towns like Leyburn and Masham. Many of the highlights of the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales national parks are also within easy driving distance of Pembroke, like Brontë and James Herriot country, more steam railways, old ramparts like Richmond Castle and, towards the east, access to Scarborough, Whitby and the wild Yorkshire coast.
