  • 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.

Liked Spacious pitches and super clean facilities. Like the fact you know which pitch you have been allocated before arrival so no need to check in a reception.

Liked It was our first time at this site and we really liked it. First trip of the season with a puppy but all went well, just for the one night which was ok as it was pretty cold. The toilet block was excellent, looks pretty new but it was lovely and warm and great to go and warm up, really clean and really modern.

Disliked Nothing to dislike

Liked Peaceful location-loved sound of the beck running behind the touring pitches lulling us to sleep!
Toilets and showers immaculate and very luxurious for a 'camp' site.
Great being able to walk our overly 'anxious' and reactive dog in an 'on lead area' when a good 'off lead area' is also available.
Lovely walk into Pateley Bridge along beck and River Nidd.
Really fabulous site and location.

Disliked Nothing to dislike about the site, as was lovely in fabulous setting, but road (B6265) from Harrogate or Grassington not easy with a motorhome or caravan-very undulating, narrow in parts and the nationwide problem of potholes-also pheasants to avoid! Other drivers behind need to be patient as not many places to pull in to let them past!

Liked On arriving we were greeted with a friendly
& helpful owner with all the information about our stay & the local area.
The site was immaculate with wonderful views. Pitches were spacious. The showers & toilets were the nicest & cleanest facilities we have seen.
A lovely walk about 30 minutes into town. A pub 5 minute walk away. What more can I say, perfect.

Disliked Nothing. Amazing place.

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.
