Welcome to heathfield caravan park

  • Excellently-maintained site in the Nidderdale valley
  • Direct access to the Nidderdale Way; 1.5 miles from Pateley Bridge
  • Spectacular views, large pitches, shop, library and spotless amenities
Who’s up for hikes and strolls in the Nidderdale valley, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty very close to the Nidderdale Way? If this is very much your sort of hol, Heathfield Caravan Park is your place. Set within the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the wooded valley of Upper Nidderdale, Heathfield is a popular but peaceful place in a green setting of walks and bike rides, horse riding and fishing. It’s a mile and a half’s walk from the park to the small and famed town of Pateley Bridge, passing along the banks of the River Nidd and Foster Beck; once in town – you may be interested to hear – Pateley Bridge is home to the oldest sweet shop in the country... And the amenities? ‘The cleanest I’ve used’ and ‘some of the best facilities we've come across’ are just a teeny selection of former guests’ opinions on the Heathfield ablutions: toilets, hot showers, a washing-up area and a modern laundry room with washing machine, tumble dryer and ironing facilities available at all hours. Also on site, in the reception building, is a library where guests can pick up a book to keep (please leave a donation in the charity box) and browse through sheaves of info on local attractions, bus times and places to eat. Reception also has a shop selling groceries, toiletries and essentials; supermarkets and restaurants are in Pateley Bridge.

What customers say

This spick-and-span spot's surrounded by pretty countryside with cracker views. Guests rave about the top-notch, spotless, modern showers/toilets – often the best they've had! Spacious, flat, tidy sites, many with water/EHU. Great for peace & quiet. Staff are friendly, helpful & welcoming. Top dog walking, and a nice stroll to Pateley Bridge by the river. Highly recommended; many want to come back.

Liked Brilliant Campsite – Clean, Peaceful, and Super Friendly

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely little campsite. Everything was really well organised from the start. We got an email before arrival with all the important info like check-in and check-out times, our pitch number, and even the WiFi password. Speaking of which, the WiFi was great – strong enough to stream a film one evening with no problems at all.

Our pitch had electric hookup and its own water supply, which made things really easy. The whole site is very clean and well looked after, with tidy grounds and nicely spaced-out pitches. It’s a peaceful spot with a relaxed feel, and the owner popped by while we were setting up just to check everything was OK – a really nice touch that made us feel welcome.

One of the best parts was the brand-new toilet and shower block. It was spotless during our whole stay. There are two large individual toilets and three family-sized shower rooms, each with a toilet, changing bench, sink, mirror and hairdryer. The showers had good water pressure and plenty of space – perfect if you’ve got kids or just prefer a bit more room.

There’s also a washing-up area, dog-washing station, and easy access to dispose of waste and grey water, including a drive-over grey water point for motorhomes. Everything was clearly signposted and easy to use.

The location is lovely and quiet, but close enough to explore the local area. There’s a short walk across a field to the Bridge Inn pub (although it wasn’t open the day we were there), or you can take a scenic riverside walk into Pateley Bridge, which is about 1.5 miles away. It’s a great little village with a butcher, fish & chip shop, takeaway, tea rooms, local shops and even a play park for the kids.

All in all, we loved our stay. The site is peaceful, spotless and well-equipped, with a friendly vibe and everything you need for a comfortable break. Would definitely come back – highly recommend!

Local attractions

Pateley Bridge is the starting and finishing point for the Nidderdale Way, 53 miles of walking, cycling and horse riding trails. Have some time in town too before or after your hike to visit the Nidderdale Museum, the art and design museums in King Street, the pool and gym… and that aforementioned historic sweet shop. As it’s Yorkshire, there are historical highlights aplenty: Ripley Castle and its Capability Brown landscaped gardens are 25 minutes’ drive away, towards Harrogate, and the 12th-century Augustinian Bolton Abbey (30 minutes) also has nature trails winding through Strid Wood and to the hunting lodge of Barden Tower. Also take your historical curiosity to the dungeon depths of medieval Skipton Castle (35 minutes), and to the stately homes and gardens of Newby Hall and Harewood House, 35 and 45 minutes away. A must-see is Yorkshire’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, the spectacular Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal (20 minutes), home to one of the biggest abbey ruins in the country and a medieval park with 500 deer. Going underground? Caves, gorges and geological sites are all around too: try How Stean Gorge and its roaring waterfalls and Tom Taylor’s Cave (15 minutes), or the Gordale Scar gorge 55 minutes away. And if you're tired and thirsty after all that... head to Harrogate (40 minutes), to sup some spa waters and mash a tea at Betty’s Tea Rooms.
