  • A family friendly, walkers paradise with two country pubs only 1 mile
  • Back to nature campsite with eco friendly facilities.
Penhill Park is set at the foot of Penhill, a popular hiking destination. The site is set within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, with spectacular views overlooking Wensleydale. Set on the edge of a working farm within 100 acres, we are a family friendly site close to surrounding villages and the town of Leyburn, next to Middleham Moor where you can watch racehorses from the local race yards exercise every morning. Our site is equipped with shared eco toilets and a shower shack, washing up area and recycling. We operate a ‘leave nothing behind but footprints’ policy so please remove all other waste when you leave the pitch. Dogs are permitted but must be kept on a lead due to livestock in the surrounding fields. Fire pits and BBQ’s are permitted but no disposable BBQ’s please or campfires on the floor. Open fires/ fire pits will strictly forbidden during high winds or extreme dry weather due to the proximity of the moorland.
