  • Well-maintained park on a scenic farm, family run for generations
  • Set over five acres with countryside views from each pitch
  • Between Bedale and Ripon: 20 minutes' drive from each
How would you like a Yorkshire Dales stay on a friendly family-run farm? Have a look at Howgrave Hall Caravan Park: the amiable and hardworking team at this Bedale farm have been welcoming guests for generations, leading to a site that’s being constantly improved and where customer service, friendliness and spotless amenities are all taken as standard. (As are toasty flames and glowing embers: campfires and barbecues are both allowed.) It’s all expertly overseen by Paul, who’s there on almost all occasions to welcome guests to their pitch and to share his extensive info on what to see and do – and eat and drink – nearby. And what might that be? Well, rather a lot... The Yorkshire Dales National Park is 15 minutes’ drive to the west, there are spectacularly scenic countryside walks straight from the farm, Ripon, Masham, Richmond and Lightwater Valley theme park are all within easy driving distance… and York is under 50 minutes’ drive for city sightseeing days. The pitching part of the farm spreads over five acres of uncrowded green space, where every pitch has scenic views of the North Yorkshire surrounds. Among the well-maintained amenities are toilets, showers, disabled facilities, a washing-up area and chemical disposal; recycling is available on site.

Liked: Glorious countryside views all round. Peaceful - just the sounds of birds and sheep. (Owls can be heard at night). Pretty level, high quality grass field which was not boggy, and remained easy to drive on even after heavy overnight rain. Two nice hot electric showers in their own rooms with wall heaters. Two toilet plus basin rooms. Separate wheelchair accessible family bathroom with shower and loo. Sink with hot water for washing up. Chemical waste.

Disliked: Washing up facilities are too basic, hot water heater only gave cold-very lukewarm water and the washing up bench area needed cleaning.

Liked: Very spacious pitches, choice of pitch on arrival.

Disliked: The road leading up to the farm is extremely overgrown, making it difficult to see how much space you have towing the caravan at either side

Liked: The cleanest place we’ve ever stayed. Part of me wants to keep this hidden gem a total secret but that wouldn’t be fair to the owners! We stayed here for 5 nights with our 2 year old daughter and we couldn’t ask for more. So quiet and peaceful, so clean, not a blade of grass out of place. 10/10!!

Local attractions

Howgrave Hall is between Bedale to the north and Ripon to the south, both within 20 minutes’ drive of the farm. Like many towns in this part of Yorkshire, Bedale’s a fine shopping town for local produce and specialities of all sorts: market days are on Tuesdays and the Bedale car boot sale is held every Saturday from April to October. Access the Wensleydale Railway at Bedale too, on its 22-mile puff between Leeming Bar and Redmire. Heading south, Ripon is most famed for its cathedral, founded in the city in the seventh century, and for Ripon Racecourse, on a site where jockeys have raced since the early 18th century. A 10-minute drive out of town just inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park, is the spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Site of Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Park, a must-see if you’re anywhere in the region. Even the kids should/might be impressed by Ripon and its surrounds; if not, zip speedily back up north for a day at Lightwater Valley Theme Park (15 minutes' drive), home of Europe’s longest rollercoaster.
