Why stay here ...

OFFERS*: Kids for £1 (aged 5-17) | Under 5s stay free | £5 refundable deposit

One of our many caravan and motorhome sites in North Yorkshire, the Knaresborough Club Campsite is set in Lower Nidderdale and serves as a perfect gateway to the Yorkshire Dales and the many attractions of the North of England. The site is surrounded by mature trees and hedges and on fine days it is sunny yet well sheltered.

The historic market town of Knaresborough is within easy access of Knaresborough Club Campsite and boasts a nostalgic town crier, ancient walkways, atmospheric castle ruins, cobbled alleys and secret passages that lead to picturesque tea rooms, delightful restaurants and quaint traditional pubs. 

The central market is home to the weekly Wednesday market which is still famous for its locally prepared lavender water. Summer activities include the annual Bed Race in June and Knaresborough Festival in August. This campsite has it all: boating on the River Nidd, scenic walks, excellent dog walk nearby, tennis and pitch 'n' putt - all in all a family destination likely to prove a winner throughout the season. Don't miss beautiful Ripley Castle, the old Court House Museum, magical Mother Shipton's Cave and Petrifying Well.

Lovely Site

The site is lovely, really well laid out and facilities very clean, helpful that there are two toilet blocks. Site isn’t really near to Knaresborough and the shorter walk of the two was down busy roads (not great for an anxious dog). Bus stop is nearby and it runs every 2 hours. Nidd... Show more

This is a lovely site for running and cycling from. For running I recommend (1) Conyngham Hall parkrun which is a lovely course. It's only two miles from the campsite so it's easiest to jog there, race the parkrun, and then jog back for breakfast. Although parking is available close to... Show more
