Why stay here ...
CL of the Year Awards 2016 - 2nd Place
Payment in full on arrival please.
Port Arthur Farm is a quiet and friendly family run CL site surrounded by several villages amidst some of the area's most beautiful countryside. Our Site mainly comprises of a meticulously maintained level field with a choice of grass or hard standing pitches, all in excess of 1.5 acres. We are open all year round and because of the sheer size of the site and variety of pitches, we can accommodate all set-ups throughout the changing seasons and in any extremes of weather, there's no boggy pitches here!
Our Site offers a brand new purpose built heated washroom (November 2015) incorporating a large shower room with w.c. and wash hand basin, another separate wc, a sink/drainer with hot water facility and a useful information area.
The location of the CL Site within our Farm was purposely chosen to optimise views of the countryside and all pitches offer pretty much round the clock sunshine (mother nature permitting!). The new washroom is directly on the site in a lovely elevated position boasting a fantastic decked area giving Campers a great viewing point over the Site.
For the keen cyclists and ramblers we are perfectly situated for exploring the surrounding networks of walk and cycle routes; nearby Nidd Gorge has recently been linked from Knaresborough to Harrogate then onto Ripley. Knaresborough is a mere 2.3 miles away with plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants, a weekly market, The Castle and Grounds and much more. Harrogate is around 5 miles down the road offering endless shops and an abundance of restaurants, not forgetting Bettys Famous Tearooms, The Great Yorkshire Showground, RHS Harlow Carr Gardens and much more. Nearby places of interest are Ripon, Boroughbridge, Otley, Leeds, Wetherby, Skipton - the list goes on and on. Closer to home, just about a mile away, is Scotton Village which boasts an excellent Pub, the Guy Fawkes Arms, which offers outstanding food (booking recommended) and fine ales . . . so if you fancy a few drinks and a great meal in good local company, it's just a short walk from us.
Approached by its own private gated entrance and access road making your ins and outs stress free and your set-up safe, Port Arthur Farm CL is an ideal site for Caravanners and Motorhomers alike. It's the perfect place to stay whether you want to kick back and relax or get busy and explore what the area has to offer.
We think you will thoroughly enjoy your stay at Port Arthur Farm and guarantee a warm welcome from all the family (including our feathered friends!).

Excellent site
Only our second trip out in our caravan and found this brilliant site. Graham met us and showed us to our pitch, lovely south facing grass pitch. Dog walks into fields straight from the pitch, adequate clean shower and toilets. 10 minute walk off road to two pubs. Peaceful, just perfect. Thankyou

Stayed here for a week and whilst the weather hasn’t been the best the site was waterlogged. There aren’t any views from the site, no direct dog walks, down a track which had lots of potholes. Although Knaresborough and the area itself are astoundingly beautiful we wished we hadn’t... Show more

We've just spent nine nights here, using it as a base to explore Knaresborough, Harrogate, Ripon etc. The site has a wide entrance, with no difficulty entering it from either direction (Kia Sorento and Elddis 840 combination for us). We arrived the day after torrential rain and there was a lot... Show more

Fabulous place near a great market town!
