  • Well-maintained park on a scenic farm, family run for generations
  • Set over five acres with countryside views from each pitch
  • Between Bedale and Ripon: 20 minutes' drive from each
How would you like a Yorkshire Dales stay on a friendly family-run farm? Have a look at Howgrave Hall Caravan Park: the amiable and hardworking team at this Bedale farm have been welcoming guests for generations, leading to a site that’s being constantly improved and where customer service, friendliness and spotless amenities are all taken as standard. (As are toasty flames and glowing embers: campfires and barbecues are both allowed.) It’s all expertly overseen by Paul, who’s there on almost all occasions to welcome guests to their pitch and to share his extensive info on what to see and do – and eat and drink – nearby. And what might that be? Well, rather a lot... The Yorkshire Dales National Park is 15 minutes’ drive to the west, there are spectacularly scenic countryside walks straight from the farm, Ripon, Masham, Richmond and Lightwater Valley theme park are all within easy driving distance… and York is under 50 minutes’ drive for city sightseeing days. The pitching part of the farm spreads over five acres of uncrowded green space, where every pitch has scenic views of the North Yorkshire surrounds. Among the well-maintained amenities are toilets, showers, disabled facilities, a washing-up area and chemical disposal; recycling is available on site.

Liked: Very friendly owner who showed me around and came to make sure we were ok after we set up. We had a large pitch to set the fencing up for the dogs. Just one thing black waste you need to use green fluid as requested which they have for you to use free but we had already had blue in our cassette. if we had known we would have used green. Site was very quite and relaxing. we are national trust members so the location is very good for Brimham rocks and Fountains Abbey.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked: Rural site set on a working farm. Paul who runs the site is friendly and helpful. Just down the road is the factory that makes Heck Sausages. Their discount outlet and cafe is a must to visit but only opens on Saturdays. The site is all grass with EHU. The toilets and showers are spotless and no extra charge. Handily close to A1(M) for Ripon, Thirsk, Harrogate and the surrounding dales. Only accepts green toilet fluid. Free WiFi.

Julie T. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass caravan site

Liked: Very clean facilities. Great open area and generous sized pitches. Covered washing up area. Easy to find. Quiet with little farm noise. Friendly.

Disliked: I felt a permanent low light on the fence would be helpful to guide you towards the toilet block at night as it is rather dark. Most campers do have torches though. Also no lighting in the washing up are so get your dishes done early or wear ahead torch.

Local attractions

Howgrave Hall is between Bedale to the north and Ripon to the south, both within 20 minutes’ drive of the farm. Like many towns in this part of Yorkshire, Bedale’s a fine shopping town for local produce and specialities of all sorts: market days are on Tuesdays and the Bedale car boot sale is held every Saturday from April to October. Access the Wensleydale Railway at Bedale too, on its 22-mile puff between Leeming Bar and Redmire. Heading south, Ripon is most famed for its cathedral, founded in the city in the seventh century, and for Ripon Racecourse, on a site where jockeys have raced since the early 18th century. A 10-minute drive out of town just inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park, is the spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Site of Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Park, a must-see if you’re anywhere in the region. Even the kids should/might be impressed by Ripon and its surrounds; if not, zip speedily back up north for a day at Lightwater Valley Theme Park (15 minutes' drive), home of Europe’s longest rollercoaster.
