  • Adults-only site 10 minutes’ drive from Richmond in North Yorkshire
  • Catterick Racecourse five minutes’ drive; Easby Abbey 40 minutes’ walk
  • Dog-friendly pitches; Brompton on Swale pub and shop 10 minutes’ walk
For a quiet adults-only North Yorkshire stay far removed from the hurly burly of everyday life, Millfields Caravan and Camping is a tiny site tucked away in Brompton on Swale, a historic village mentioned in the Domesday Book. Peaceful it certainly is, yet there’s masses to do and see hereabouts. The lively market town of Richmond is 10 minutes’ drive away, with its photogenic Georgian architecture, museums, a castle and lots of entertainment options from cosy inns to chic restaurants. It’s also gateway to adventures in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and any keen racing fans among you have the choice of nine major racecourses: York is an hour’s drive, Wetherby 40 minutes, and Catterick a doddle to get to, being a mere five minutes away. And back on site, the manicured pitches look out over lush countryside (great for walking any dogs you've brought along), with simple facilities including showers and washing-up areas. If you choose to conjure up alfresco feasts on the barbecue, pick up essentials in the handy local shop, or you can always head to the village pub for a pint and a pie (both 10 minutes’ walk).

What customers say

Quiet, adults-only site praised for peace, spacious pitches, and good location near Richmond. Owners are friendly and the site is well-maintained. Facilities are basic but new ones are being built. 6-amp hook-up may be an issue for some. Easy check-in, pubs, and walks are a plus.

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked Large open level field, great wide life around. Good access to Richmond and surrounding areas. Hook up worked no issues.

Disliked Pricey at £30 per night, road noise from major buildings work just up the road. Faculties ok but basic, expect more for the price. No reception or contact with site owners, just a car checking each day.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Our site and facilities are clearly shown on PitchUp for you to make an informed choice before you make your booking it also states that we do not have a reception, so not sure how you can dislike us not having a reception. :-@

Anne P.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Liked Location good, pitches were spacious, we opted for grass/ gravel pitch with electric hook up and water point included.

Nice walk to 2 local pubs one 10 minute walk other 15/20 minute walk.
We used the local bus to visit Richmond for the day.

I know there has been some bad reviews on the toilets.
But we had no issues at all both with toilet/ shower blocks either side of the park where clean.

Would visit again.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review, glad you enjoyed your stay with us. :-))

Local attractions

Stroll directly from your pitch to the spectacular hilltop ruins of 12th-century Easby Abbey (40 minutes’ walk), or have a ramble along the River Swale to Richmond Castle and the pebble beach at Richmond Falls (both roughly an hour). And of course, there are hikes and cycle rides for all levels of ability in the Yorkshire Dales National Park (15 minutes’ drive). Head to Foxglove Covert Local Nature Reserve (20 minutes) for the chance to spy birds of prey and kingfishers in the moorland, meadow and wetland habitats, or if stately houses are on your agenda, combine exploring formal gardens and a lakeside park at Jacobean-era Kiplin Hall (10 minutes) with a tour of the mansion’s richly decorated rooms. The likelihood is you’ll adore fussing over the camels, llamas and ostriches at Mainsgill Farm Shop (15 minutes), where you can also tuck into a tasty cream tea. Should the weather turn against you, book tickets for blockbuster films at The Station or tour Richmond’s restored Georgian Theatre Royal (both 10 minutes), still with its original stage and seating.
