The village has been used to film the soap opera emmerdale

Family-friendly site in the former Emmerdale village
A 15-minute drive from Yorkshire Dales National Park; Leeds 35 minutes
Clubhouse with a well-stocked bar; a short drive from market towns

Spacious pitches, scenic Yorkshire surroundings, proximity to Leeds and a pint in Emmerdale’s Woolpack pub… These all await you at Esholt Sports and Leisure Club, a family-friendly site set in the village that was formerly used as the location for the TV soap. It's surrounded by scenic countryside in the Yorkshire village of Esholt, 20 minutes' drive from Bradford and 35 minutes from Leeds. Esholt found fame as the original setting of Emmerdale: fans of the show will probably recognise several other village locations while here. (And whether you're a fan or not, a pint at the Woolpack is probably a top idea…) Esholt Sports and Leisure Club has a clubhouse and a well-stocked bar. Amenities for guests include toilets, showers and a chemical disposal point. Esholt is well placed for visiting many Yorkshire attractions, such as the museums of Leeds and Bradford, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Saltaire and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked We stayed here as novice campers trying out all our new stuff for two nights and this place was perfect. We loved that the place was nice and small and welcoming and all the facilities were easily accessible and the ground is very well maintained. The staff at the cricket club were also very friendly and accommodating.
The gentleman that helped us sign in and showed us around was so pleasant and friendly, always saying good morning and making sure we had everything needed. We didn’t get the Wi-Fi information but we were happy not to and it got the kids actually talking and running around.

Disliked I can’t say we disliked anything.
