  • 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 chilled, adults-only spot with ample, flat spots. Ablutions mostly spotless, with guests raving about the hot showers and tranquil vibe. Handy for local sights and boozers. A few noted scarce loos/showers and iffy electrics, but upgrades are happening.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Good location with a few local walks. Easy access, flat and specious pitches and good facilities. Adults only which was a bonus for us and very dog friendly.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

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

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.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Nothing.

Disliked We disliked the site so much that we didn’t stay, even though we had booked for two nights. The place looks run down and badly maintained as soon as you turn up. There is very little signage showing you where it is and even that is poorly maintained. There is no reception, just a board telling you which pitch you are on. The ablutions were terrible: one single male toilet and shower in the same small, poorly maintained single-room hut, with the same for the women. There was no one else on the site, although a car and caravan pulled up as we were leaving. The campsite was soleless and depressing, small, out-dated and has very little to recommend it from our point of view. We weren’t looking for a large and busy site - that’s not our thing either - but this campsite did not even feel safe, and was certainly not welcoming nor in good condition.

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, however! I'm really not sure how you can say we look run down and badly maintained! As you can see by the photos on our pitchup site Martin takes great pride in the presentation and maintenance of the site and I'm not sure how new signage can be badly maintained!. I would suggest that if you going to leave negative reviews on peoples sites you make them accurate as you were not the only people on site, there where 4 other bookings in on the first night you were here and if you were that unhappy you had to leave, you should have contacted me I could have re advertised your pitch and refunded you, instead you waited 3 days to leave us a negative review!.
There are photos of all our facilities and it does state on pitchup that we are a unmanned site, there are 2 toilet/shower blocks on site clearly marked on the site map board which you clearly sore on your way in. It is your job to research the sites you intend to stay at to ensure that it is somewhere you are happy to stay, we give a full and accurate description of our site and facilities along with plenty of photo's and also the 322 reviews for you to do a comprehensive research before you book.

Liked Lovely flat grass area beautiful views clean toilet ,clean shower amazing lovely hot. Very quiet ,Great area friendly people lovely local pub with lush food.

Bit confusing when 1st arrived as it said road closed better information regarding this would have helped a great deal as you can actually access the camp site via this road. ( Not the campsites fault tho )

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.
