  • 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

This is a peaceful, adults-only campground with spacious, level sites. Guests often praise the clean facilities, though some suggest they could use an update. The location is highly regarded for its proximity to Richmond and local amenities like pubs and shops. While electric hookups are generally sufficient for basic needs, some guests experienced issues with lower amperage. Overall, it's a well-maintained site offering a relaxing escape.

Laura B.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Generous sized pitches, well maintained site, lovely and quiet setting. Close to a cute village with a thriving local pub.
Close to Richmond and lots of other abbeys/ruins to explore.
Was concerned about the shower facilities as I've seen some bad reviews but I found them to be great; a shower at each end of the site, consistent hot water/pressure and clean as can be. There was occasionally spider but that's certainly expected when camping. Oh, and they're free! Really enjoyed our stay. Thanks!

Disliked Nothing to complain about.
I do like sites that have a freezer for ice blocks and a socket or two for charging but we get by without.
Although a heads up about the closed road would have been an extra over thought...would have saved us 15mins at the end of a long journey (drive through the closed signs, you can still access the campsite from either direction)

Rosie R.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Very reasonably priced and easy to find pitches which are well organised. Loved the warm shower room with its great shower. Good place to stay for two nights as it's so close to Richmond.
Looking forward to seeing the new toilet facilities!

Disliked The facilities could do with a bit of upkeep, eg - checking the bulbs

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Liked Location and size of pitch are great. Also super to have water at each pitch, very useful.

Disliked Only two showers for a large number of people so queuing inevitable . Also we were unlucky enough to be next to a big barking dog which is annoying. No one’s fault but the owner of course!

Disliked Bathroom facilities old and tired, but it appears that a new facility is being built.

From the manager: Thank you for leaving us a review, we were not aware that they had put up road closed signs that day, the road was still open when I came into work that morning, I have asked that they place a business still open sign for our guests. Our new shower block will be ready for next season. :-))

Hannah A.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Loved the site, it secluded enough so you feel peace and quiet yet close enough to Brompton should you need a trip to a shop or an evening in a local pub. There is also I lovely walk along the river a stones throw away! The pitch itself was in great condition, plenty of room and space even with a larger tent and space for our car. The amenities which included two toilets and a shower were kept clean and stocked. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will most definitely be returning for a longer stay.

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.
