  • 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).

This adult-only site offers peaceful, spacious, level pitches. Most guests loved the hot showers and quiet vibe. Convenient for exploring. Some noted limited toilets/showers & minor electric issues, but improvements are underway.

Matthew P.

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked An excellent site all round! Very well kept, with clean amenities, showers, and toilets. Although the site is not manned, names are listed on the board when you arrive and all the pitches are clearly marked. The owner kindly popped by during our visit to check everything was okay, and there’s number available if you need anything during your stay. It’s just a short walk to the local shop and pub too & the views are fantastic. We will definitely be returning!

Liked Was ok for what i needed it for, good location and a text informing me of my pitch and travel info was nice

Disliked Toilet area wasn’t cleaned in the time i was there
Broken sharp tent pegs and dog poo on my pitch
Electric kept tripping

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. The facilities were cleaned on the morning of your arrival and I can only apologies for the tent pegs and dog poo I'm not sure how that happened as there had not been a tent or dog on that pitch for a couple of weeks and the owner hadn't seen it whilst cutting the grass.The only reason the electric would trip is if you are not using camping appropriate equipment. :-(

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.
