  • Well-maintained park on a scenic farm, family run for generations
  • Set over five acres with countryside views from each pitch
  • Between Bedale and Ripon: 20 minutes' drive from each
How would you like a Yorkshire Dales stay on a friendly family-run farm? Have a look at Howgrave Hall Caravan Park: the amiable and hardworking team at this Bedale farm have been welcoming guests for generations, leading to a site that’s being constantly improved and where customer service, friendliness and spotless amenities are all taken as standard. (As are toasty flames and glowing embers: campfires and barbecues are both allowed.) It’s all expertly overseen by Paul, who’s there on almost all occasions to welcome guests to their pitch and to share his extensive info on what to see and do – and eat and drink – nearby. And what might that be? Well, rather a lot... The Yorkshire Dales National Park is 15 minutes’ drive to the west, there are spectacularly scenic countryside walks straight from the farm, Ripon, Masham, Richmond and Lightwater Valley theme park are all within easy driving distance… and York is under 50 minutes’ drive for city sightseeing days. The pitching part of the farm spreads over five acres of uncrowded green space, where every pitch has scenic views of the North Yorkshire surrounds. Among the well-maintained amenities are toilets, showers, disabled facilities, a washing-up area and chemical disposal; recycling is available on site.

What customers say

This peaceful, rural park offers large, tidy grass sites with beautiful country views. Guests rave about the friendly, helpful owner, Paul, and spotless washrooms. It's praised as quiet and perfect for families and dog walkers. While facilities are basic, most guests are very pleased and would come back. Small notes for improvement: access road and occasional bin overflow.

Liked Everything! Paul couldn't do enough to make sure out stay was as comfortable as possible, always checking in to make sure we were ok. Lovely spacious camping area for the children to run around and spaced away from other people so not to disturb anyone. Lovely views and sunsets, perfect for star gazing and it was the quietest site we've ever been on! Clean facilities, great electric hook up with extension lead provided and WiFi included. Unbelievable price for a family of 4 and a dog, absolute hidden gem.

Disliked Nothing! Everything was perfect.

Liked Friendly welcome. Lovely peaceful site with gorgeous views.
Two showers and two toilets. Showers lovely and hot.
Wifi available.

Disliked The shower floor could have been cleaner. Especially when there was only myself and 3 caravans there so could have been kept on top of. Also a shelf in shower area for toiletries would be useful.

Local attractions

Howgrave Hall is between Bedale to the north and Ripon to the south, both within 20 minutes’ drive of the farm. Like many towns in this part of Yorkshire, Bedale’s a fine shopping town for local produce and specialities of all sorts: market days are on Tuesdays and the Bedale car boot sale is held every Saturday from April to October. Access the Wensleydale Railway at Bedale too, on its 22-mile puff between Leeming Bar and Redmire. Heading south, Ripon is most famed for its cathedral, founded in the city in the seventh century, and for Ripon Racecourse, on a site where jockeys have raced since the early 18th century. A 10-minute drive out of town just inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park, is the spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Site of Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Park, a must-see if you’re anywhere in the region. Even the kids should/might be impressed by Ripon and its surrounds; if not, zip speedily back up north for a day at Lightwater Valley Theme Park (15 minutes' drive), home of Europe’s longest rollercoaster.
