Why stay here ...

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

A popular site in North Yorkshire, Richmond Hargill House Club Campsite in Gilling West, is a conveniently short distance off the A1 and adjacent to the A66. You will be pitching on a grassy, gently sloping location with magnificent views southwards over the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It would be a waste to use this campsite merely as a stopover - it has a wealth of fun activities to make your holiday memorable. 

Set in the famous area of James Herriot's novels, Richmond Hargill House Club Campsite offers the opportunity to see many of the locations used within the famous series with your own eyes. The park is also the area where our greatest landscape artist, J M W Turner, travelled, painted and found the subjects for some of his most unforgettable watercolours. The local Tourist Association publishes a Turner Trail leaflet for walkers to explore, with seating placed conveniently at many of the locations from which to view the beautiful scenery that inspired his legendary images.

The area offers transport links, with a bus service into Darlington and Richmond. The site is also well placed to visit the city of Durham, with its iconic cathedral and picturesque location, and vibrant Newcastle, which offers great shopping and lots of places to eat and drink along the Quayside.

Please Note: Reception at this site may close earlier than 8pm and staff may not be available to greet you. If this is the case, don’t worry, you can still arrive on site until 8pm. We will simply contact you on your day of arrival with details of how to check-in. Please ensure your contact details are up to date on your Membership profile.

Additional ways to stay:

Seasonal pitches - rent one of our pitches on a long term basis. Visit camc.com/seasonals.

Ear Plugs

A perfectly positioned site for the Dales. Lovely site with some gorgeous views. Please note though you do need earplugs to block out the noise of the A66.

Best CAMC site in the area

For ease of access Hargill house cannot be beaten. A mere 50 yards off the A66. Some may see this as a disadvantage because of the noise factor. However, we live in the countryside with no road traffic and within no time at all the noise from the A66 was... Show more
