  • Among spectacular scenery in the Yorkshire Dales National Park
  • Within walking distance of West Burton and Thoralby villages
  • Next door to a 17th-century inn serving food and local beers
Now these are views… head here with the camera for scenes right up any holidaymaker’s street: Street Head Caravan Park, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, is in an area famous for its scenery and unspoilt countryside, and is surrounded by grazing countryside with dales views across to the fells beyond. Roll up here to take in the local walks and wildlife – you can walk up and down dales and over moorland from the site – or use Street Head as a base for exploring the wider Yorkshire Dales, the north-east and north-west coasts and the loveliness of the Lake District. This is a place where you could certainly settle for a few days, as there are plenty of handy facilities: the park has free hot showers, toilets and an indoor washing-up room with a fridge, freezer and tourist information. Street Head Caravan Park is in the valley of Bishopdale and has five pubs and restaurants within a few miles. The nearest, the 17th-century Street Head Inn, is very handily placed next door to the park offices for meals and local brews. A shop and a butcher are at West Burton about a mile and a half away, where there is also a traditional pub serving drinks and snacks all day as well as lunches and dinners. It’s also home to the Cauldron Falls (a popular swimming spot in the summer months), a play area and a café.

What customers say

This is a very clean, well-maintained campsite with excellent, modern facilities, including hot showers. Pitches are generally spacious, level, and well-defined. The site boasts beautiful views and is ideally located for exploring the Yorkshire Dales, with numerous walks nearby. A significant plus is the adjacent pub serving good food. Some guests noted road noise, limited phone signal, and a lack of on-site shops or children's play areas, but many expressed a desire to return.

Dave W.

(maximum 7.5 metres) fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site

Liked Good sized pitch and level. Some really nice views from the site. Site can be peaceful when road allows. The pub next to the site is amazing, warm welcome and the food was great. Pub is dog friendly in some areas, but tables get booked quick so best to reserve. Once you’ve tried the food you will understand why tables get booked quick! Toilet / shower block was clean and a great size - not a cramped shower at all. There are some footpaths nearby, but it looks like the landowners disagree with them as there are fences in the way and cow troughs. We did take a lovely walk through the street of New Biggin, but had to take great care with the dogs as no footpath. We were there 3 nights and did eventually warm to the site despite the dislikes.

Disliked Site states there is wi fi and free wi fi, which is not true. There is free wi fi at the pub only, but nothing on site as described. No issue with a campsite not having wi fi, but do not like an incorrect description. Once booked up, received a welcome email to say dogs could not be exercised on site at all - although described as ‘Dogs welcome’. There are no footpaths on the road next to the site, although some large grass borders. The traffic is very fast on the road so a bit hazardous with 2 dogs. Site is right next to the road as well, our pitch was feet away with just a hedge in between so could be a bit noisy at times.

Steve M.

Powered concrete slab caravan site (maximum 7 metres)

Liked Pitches are quite level.
The area is a great area for walking with many walks from the site but thousands within 10 - 15 miles travel.
Facilities were nice & cleaned regularly.
An inn is next door for those who need one.

Disliked Washing up hot water is too hot.
No lighting at all to get you to the facilities at night (very dark).
The water bollards are both to one side of the pitching area away from the touring spots & next to the permanently sited vans.
Daytime road noise but although very quiet at night.
Poor TV & phone signal & no site internet.

Liked There was a pub next to the site

Disliked No lighting when on touring pitch to go to use the facilities need a powerful torch. No WiFi at all. Hard to find your pitch as the owners put a very small flag with your name on at the back of the pitch.

Local attractions

There are plenty of places within walking distance of Street Head Caravan Park: West Burton (five minutes’ drive) has been described as one of the loveliest villages in England and has a well-kept village green leading to the natural waterfall of West Burton Cauldron. The waterfall flows downstream into the River Ure to reach the famous Aysgarth Falls (10 minutes), a favourite haunt of writer Wordsworth and painters Turner and Ruskin; the National Parks Information Centre here has guides to local hikes, guided walks and activities like climbing and caving. The area around Street Head has miles of signposted footpaths for dale, moor and village-to-village strolls too. The dales town of Hawes (20 minutes) has an intriguing set of antique shops as well as a clutch of museums of local life, while hilltop Leyburn (15 minutes) is a walking hub with a mix of cafés, pubs and fine-dining restaurants. Elegant Richmond (half an hour) is known for its castle and Georgian Theatre Royal, one of the oldest theatres in the UK. Kids with you? Take them to be bamboozled at the pyramid, passages and tunnels of The Forbidden Corner in Coverdale (20 minutes), an ever-growing folly probably best described as ‘delightfully bonkers’.
