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.
Throughout the year, you can take advantage of the Wanderer Cafe Bar on site, and the children can burn off their energy at the site's play area.
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.

Nice Place
Nice quiet site with easy walks to town, good modern facilities with a good choice of pitch types. On site pub as some rather bizarre practices, open 15.00 to 20.00 with breakfast items on the menu, closing at 20.00 way too early for most campers. Pub/restaurant also overrun by dogs, some taking... Show more
