  • Family-run site at the former railway station in Masham
  • Ripon and Fountains Abbey less than half an hour's drive away
  • A 20-minute walk from the town centre, pubs and breweries
Keep your North Yorkshire holiday plans on track at Old Station Caravan Park, a quiet, well-established holiday park on the site of a former railway station. Set on the eastern side of the Yorkshire Dales National Park in a rural setting, this site is on the edge of Masham, a lovely little town with cafés and pubs to peruse at your leisure. This family-run site is roughly a 20-minute walk from the town centre, where two breweries – Theakston’s and Black Sheep – are on hand for beer fans who want to see where their favourite ales are crafted. If you’re not up for the walk, or want to get out to more far-flung destinations, there’s also a bus stop just outside the gates that can whisk you off to various places without the need to drive. Some of the things you may like to visit nearby include the Dales peaks of Ingleborough and Whernside (both of which are visible from site), the famed cheese producers of Wensleydale and heritage spots like Fountains Abbey. York, Harrogate and Ripon are all easily doable for day trips too. On-site facilities include a small shop, a laundry room, a washing-up point and a well-maintained heated amenities block. The team at Old Station Caravan Park pride themselves on their attention to detail and doing their utmost to ensure a splendid stay, so just ask if you've got any queries.

What customers say

Lovely, clean site offering a peaceful break. Friendly staff, great location near Masham. Facilities are top-notch, especially toilets/showers. Cafe is a hit too. Some road noise, and a few thought pitches could be tighter.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (adults only)

Liked Nice reception on booking in, very helpful with local information. Very nice site, with exceptionally clean facilities; toilets, showers, washing up area etc. On-site cafe. Just a short walk into Masham, where there are a variety of shops, and some nice pubs with beer gardens. We would definitely stay again.

Disliked Tent pitches are very close together. You could hear next door snoring. Dogs to be kept on leads at all times, which we can understand, but no real “off lead” dog walk until about 10/15 mins down the road.

(** Not the fault of the site; I’m not sure whether it was the time of year, but at 3am what sounded like 10 motorcycles were doing very high speed loops around the area, so earplugs are a must)

Charlotte G.

BBQ cabin (four person, adults only, pet friendly)

Liked We really liked the site and the proximity to Masham. We were able to walk there in 15 minutes. The site was really clean and the toilet and shower facilities were extremely well kept. Everything was really well looked after. The hut itself was really quirky and just what we expected and the bbq in the hut was fab, we had a lovely meal on the Saturday even and even went to the local butchers for our meat for the BBQ.

Disliked Our only slightly negative was the CCTV camera was right outside our hut and it constantly turns and moves which creates a sound that is a little annoying. If you were staying in any other hut you wouldn't hear it.

Shepherd's hut

Liked Facilities were excellent and location great.

Disliked We rented the shepherds hut for 2 nights and the sink didn't work. £80 a night I'd expect it to be tip top.

The hut and tented area was near a local pig farm. The stench was too much.

Local attractions

It's really quite a breeze to get to Ripon (20 minutes' drive) – the cathedral city can be reached by car simply by driving south for a while down the A6108, and there’s also a bus service that departs from Masham several times daily that should get you there in about half an hour. Want a sense of what it was like to be banged up in the 1800s? Make tracks for Ripon’s well-reviewed Prison and Police Museum. Fountains Abbey (25 minutes) is another must-see for all fans of history. The 12th-century abbey itself was all but destroyed during the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII, but its striking ruins still stand today against a brilliant backdrop of 800 acres of meticulously-tended water gardens. For food-focused jaunts, meanwhile, you could set your sights on Pateley Bridge (30 minutes), home to The Oldest Sweet Shop in the World (certified by no less an authority than Guinness World Records), or alternatively stick to savoury flavours in Hawes (50 minutes), where cheese is on the agenda at Wensleydale Creamery.
