  • Family-run North Yorkshire site on the banks of the Swale river
  • Peaceful location four miles from the edge of the Yorkshire Dales
  • On-site river fishing; pubs and shops within five minutes' drive
One look at the green riverside location at Brompton Caravan Park and it shouldn’t be hard to understand why this place is just as suitable for family outings as it is for a couple's getaway. On the banks of the pretty Swale river, this peaceful family-run North Yorkshire site is surrounded by scenic countryside for laidback strolls. Get your rods at the ready, too, as guests are very welcome to unwind by fishing on the banks of the Swale. The site is handily placed between Richmond and Brompton on Swale, two Yorkshire locations with characterful pubs and restaurants. Market towns, historic properties, waterfalls, museums and walking trails are all within a short drive of the site, which shouldn’t be much of a surprise once you spot that it’s only four miles from the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and around 20 miles from the North Pennines National Landscape. Which will you track down first: waterfalls or historic sites? For the former, Richmond Falls (10 minutes’ drive away) is one of the most popular walks in the Richmond area – only three miles long – or you could head to the three waterfalls at Aysgarth Falls (35 minutes’ drive away), a little way into the Yorkshire Dales. For historic sites, you only need to head to Richmond to browse the Green Howards Museum or catch a show at Georgian Theatre Royal, built in 1788. Raby Castle and Newby Hall are within a 35-minute drive of the site, the first with a 200-acre deer park and a 14th-century castle, and the second with a miniature steam train that’s sure to make the kids shout 'choo-choo'.

The free WiFi was fast and worked well.

Liked Clean facilities and the site was clean and tidy. Next to river so nice views with a safe walk to the Abbey and into Richmond.

Disliked No information given on arrival, WiFi password, reception or shop opening times. Too many children running around with no supervision. Kicking balls at vehicles.

Liked We have just had a wonderful stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this campsite. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful, making us feel at home straight away.

The site is beautifully maintained, peaceful and in a fantastic location for exploring the local area. We loved walking into Richmond via Easby Abbey and along the River Swale. The scenery is stunning, and it was perfect for our cocker spaniel, who thoroughly enjoyed paddling and swimming in the river.

The facilities were spotless, the pitches were spacious, and the whole site had a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. It was the perfect base for exploring Richmond Castle, the Saturday market and the beautiful Yorkshire countryside.

We had such a relaxing break and have gone home with wonderful memories. We will definitely be returning. Thank you to everyone for making our stay so enjoyable.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked Lovely well kept site, toilet block was clean no matter what time of day we used it.
Staff friendly, pleasant and helpful. Came round the site multiple times a day checking if bins etc needed emptying.
Kids enjoyed playing on the park and going down the river.

We didn’t visit the arcade but good to know it was there for the kids.

Disliked Small thing but would’ve liked a bench to put clothes on whilst in the shower.

Liked The most beautiful quiet place, basic but we had everything we needed, so serene and we had the best night sleep. Just off the main road but still really quiet, surrounded by fields and horses, 25 min walk to the pub for an evening drink..just perfect!

Disliked Nothing at all

Camping pod

Liked Lovely peaceful location, the pod was lovely and clean, we went swimming in the water. Everyone was so friendly

Disliked The lock on the pod kept sticking but I think it was due to the heat warning the door

Local attractions

There are museums for all tastes in North Yorkshire. The Bowes Museum (half an hour's drive) has a huge collection of art and sculptures, as well as intricate clothes and shoes from the 17th to 20th centuries. The French château-style building is easy on the eyes, making parkland strolls a particularly fine idea too. Make your way to Beamish - The Living Museum of the North (50 minutes) to see old electric trams, a pit village and other reconstructions from 1900s life in the north of England. York may be a little further away (an hour and five minutes), but it also has lots of attractions, including the popular Jorvik Viking Centre and the historic Shambles. Waterfalls like High Force Waterfall (55 minutes) and Cotter Force will make your camera roll extra pretty. If you'd also like to snap some pics of castles and country houses, try Bolton Castle (25 minutes), where Mary Queen of Scots was once imprisoned, or Harewood House (55 minutes).
