Booked this site at the last minute, arrived just before 1pm, Roger the site warden came and spoke to us, (very politely and about the 1pm booking in time) not a problem. On checking in we were informed of all the availability pitches, and if you want fairly level ones go into the horseshoe part. We found a lovely pitch No 32. Lovely views of the open countryside. There is a bus No29 that stops outside the site that will take you into Richmond, ( it doesn’t stop there on the return), you have to get a taxi back, (cost £11:90) unless you want to cross the A66 to get back to the site. Showers and the other facilities were spotless. The road noise from the A66, during the day, but it didn’t bother us during the night.
Praise
As nervous first timers we have nothing but praise for the warden here. I think his name was Roger and he was a relief warden. He could not have been more helpful to us, helping us reverse and set up, advising us about electrics and leisure battery.
The place was spotless, the pitches were well laid out. Although it is near the busy A66 the traffic noise was not intrusive but might have been at the top of the site. There didn’t appear to be play facilities for children, but we don’t have any so didn’t take a lot of notice.
The site is perfectly situated for visiting the Yorkshire dales or a stop over en route North or South. Very close to Catterick caravans and Ropers who have every accessory imaginable.
We highly recommend this for couples in caravans who would enjoy exploring the Dales.
Pristine facilities and excellent wifi
Stayed here for our last trip of this year, mid to late October. Some previous comments about road noise, yes there is some but it didn’t impact onto our stay. Superb views from the site when the weather permits!
Excellent area for walking, however you do need a car to get to the walks.
The toilet facilities are the best we have ever used on any site, they are pristine!!
There is also wifi that actually works! The first reliable wifi so far this year!

A favourite site for loads.
This site is one of our favourite sites to go and we have been to lots. What makes it even better is the very helpful wardens who if you ask will do their utmost to help in any way they can. The plates to go from here are loads just need to ask wardens they are very informative on where is good to eat places and where to go to see things you should not miss while in this area …. Very well run site.

Nice stopover on way to Scotland
We've stayed at this campsite a few times over the years as it is a convenient stopover for us on the way to Scotland. The site was pretty full by the time we arrived at 6pm on a Friday with only grass pitches available and the ones that run head to tail up to the toilet block. The warden followed us to our pitch to make sure we were happy and comfortable with our pitch which was level. It seemed a little limited on space compared to others but as it was only a quick stopover we were happy with the convenience of the pitch. The warden was very helpful and chatty about our travel plans with recommendations for the local area. We had already booked into the Black Swan and decided to walk into the village, with a steep walk back!
Nice site ideal for stop over and more
Stayed at Richmond site to and from a Scottish tour. The site was very full on our outward stop Excellent clean facilities and pleasant friendly warden. We often stay in the Yorkshire Dales and would certainly consider staying here for a longer period in the future. As previous members note, the traffic noise from the A66 can be intrusive if pitched at the top of the site but further down there is no problem. Nice views over surrounding countryside.
Hargill House September 2021
We used this site as on overnight stop going to and returning from Norfolk.
On the way down, there were only grass pitches left up the top of the site, and yes there was road noise from the A66, the positive was it was a 2 minute drive in the morning to get back onto the A66 to continue our journey.
On the way back, the warden suggested that we use a non awning pitch, as that way we could get a pitch further down the site, what a difference, the road noise was only a faint rumble.
Shower Block was really clean and there are lovely views to enjoy.
Absolutely would stay here again as a stop over and next time will book a non awning pitch as we are there able to avoid the grass pitches at the top of the site.

Great location but noisy road
Great location for an overnight stay so we decided to take a chance on the road noise, but it proved too much for us.
That said, it is a small, well-kept site with pretty views.
Don’t arrive early - nowhere to wait and it causes a hazard in the lane.
Lovely little site
Stayed for 3 nights, we were out all day but back every evening. Found the site very quiet and relaxing. There is road noise from the A66 but we were far enough away that it didn't bother us. Facilities were excellent, very clean and modern. Some amazing views out from the pitches , a really enjoyable weekend. We will be back.
What about the road noise?
Pleasant, well run site with good facilities. However there is no mention of the closeness of the A66 and the subsequent road noise 24/7.
We were lucky and had a pitch at other end of site so just low rumble through the night. But most motorhomes were right up against the boundary to A66. If I had been sited there I would not have stayed.
Convenient for Richmond so long as you have a car or ebike.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
