  • Dog-friendly Yorkshire Dales site five minutes’ drive from Skipton
  • Embsay Station 10 minutes’ drive; Harrogate 35 minutes
  • Country shop; pub serving food; play area and year-round family events
Hiking, golfing and a thriving restaurant scene in nearby Skipton (five minutes’ drive across the A59) make Tarn House Caravan Park a pretty sweet spot for a holiday in North Yorkshire. The family-friendly site sits on the southern edge of the Yorkshire Dales, so the walkers and ramblers in your midst should have plenty to be cheerful about, with places like Embsay Crag and Skipton Moor no more than 10 minutes’ drive away. On the site, there is a nifty country shop selling locally produced foodstuffs. The amenities are modern: there's a heated toilet and shower block (with facilities for disabled guests), as well as a launderette. And golfers will likely be happier still, with a driving range within walking distance (10 minutes) and an 18-hole course (where they also run beginners’ lessons) within a five-minute drive. After a day on the putting green, scrambling up the Dales or walking your dog (a welcome guest here) through gorgeous woodland, you can chill out by sinking into a comfortable leather sofa at the elegant on-site pub, which serves delicious pizzas and local ales. Children, meanwhile, might be making new friends on the swings and see-saws in the play area. Tarn House also has a calendar of events, ranging from live music bands and comedy performances to children’s activities.

What customers say

Tarn House Holiday Park boasts exceptionally clean and modern facilities, particularly praised for its underfloor heated showers. Guests appreciate the friendly staff, beautiful countryside location, and convenient proximity to Skipton. While many enjoy the pizzas and on-site bar, some find the menu limited and the uphill walk to reception and the bar challenging. Some reviews mention pitches being a bit cramped, and limited Wi-Fi coverage on touring pitches.

Escapade fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked The site was good and we thought it was a good location for what we wanted to do. Enjoyed the neil diamond concert and the food was very nice

Disliked The only down fall was when the house had its party nights from Friday to Sunday. The music seemed unnecessary to be so loud till very late. It is heard all round the static park and touring area with beating music bleating out our tv which we had to watch to help us from not hearing the noise. Understand the clubs got to earn its money but out side speakers could have been turn down after 11pm.

Camping pod

Liked Very clean and snug pod, well insulated and near the shower block. Toilets and showers cleaned regularly. A great base to visit Skipton or Bolton Abbey from.

Disliked No sign up to indicate where to check in when reception is closed (after 5). A sign on the reception door would be helpful. You ask at the bar but the staf weren't quite sure what to do so gave us a pack with no key in. Someone more senior soon sorted things out when we came back though.

Local attractions

Head to Embsay Station (10 minutes’ drive) for a ride on the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway, but be sure to get there well before your train is due to depart to make the most of the tiny vintage café, which serves yummy home-made cakes. It’s also worth keeping an eye on the website for events like murder mysteries and driving experiences. At Thornton Hall Farm Country Park (15 minutes), the children can ride ponies, feed lambs or go on a safari drive through the grounds to see the resident deer herd. There is also an indoor soft-play area and quad bikes (for both kids and for adults, should you feel unfairly left out…) Need to wind down further? Take a day trip to Harrogate (35 minutes), where the Victorian Turkish Baths is a spectacular spot for a steam, a soak or an invigorating massage (or a cold plunge, if that’s your jam). At the Royal Pump Room Museum you can learn more about the history of this spa town, before heading to Betty’s Café Tea Rooms for scones and sandwiches.
