  • 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

A peaceful, adult-only site with good pitches. Generally clean facilities, loved the hot showers & quiet vibe. Handy for local sights & pubs. A few mentioned limited toilets/showers and minor electric issues, but site improvements are ongoing.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Quiet, countryside campsite
Tidy, well maintained pitches

Disliked Very old, smelly toilet ( maybe due to being next to waste point) Just used own facilities
No info about walks for dogs, walk along river into Richmond... No directions

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your stay with us. As you where located in the middle of the site you had the choice of using either toilet block located at either end of the site! I have used the stone toilet you have mentioned many times myself and have not found them smelly or particularly old and had no other complaints to that effect.
Also if you had looked at the notice board at the back of the sitemap board you would have found a map showing the route to Richmond along with the name of an app for local walks.

Quiet peaceful site , spacious pitch Beautiful surroundings We liked it that…

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked All in all a very good experience … pretty quiet in the main and decent facilities and a good location! Would recommend-visit

Disliked Road closed and not advised on best route in… we had to waste around 20-30 mins on builders finishing the roadworks…. A few too many spiders in the showers I cleared maybe 7-8 away before a shower and a noisy pitch across from us on Saturday of 3 young girls who had little thought for there loudness at 7am or midnight!

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, I'm sorry you didn't totally enjoy your stay with us. I'm sorry you must not have received a text from us with your pitch number and instructions regarding the road works. :-(

Lovely campsite with good facilities.

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Clearly defined pitches, well kept areas, short grass, spotlessly clean. Well maintained toilet/shower blocks.
It's an unmanned site with a board at the entrance to let you know which pitch you have been allocated.
Electric hook up available for tents as well as vans.
A quite site, just outside the village which is within comfortable walking distance.
A good location, close to Richmond the Yorkshire Moors. Lots of walking options close by

Helen B.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked What a lovely friendly quiet site with it being adult only.
Lovely dog walks

Disliked Our only issue was the toilets one had a toilet and shower together so if someone was in the shower you had to walk up to the other toilet block which had a separate shower and 2 toilets. Unfortunately the blocks were only cleaned once at the end of the week.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for leaving us a review, although I can assure you that our toilets are cleaned every day by a professional cleaning company although no always at the same time of day due to other commitments. You may also have noticed a new stone building under construction which is our new toilet/shower block. :-))

Pitch was level with it's own water supply which was handy.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Small well kept site, local pub short walk away.

Disliked Large group of lads turned up for Saturday night & pitched up in center field, they where noisy up till 1.30/l 2am which was disappointing as we thought the rules stated no groups and no music so we assumed emphasis was on quiet.

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.
