Where to go

Knaresborough Castle and Museum

A relic of medieval times, Knaresborough Castle stands high on a cliff, overlooking River Nidd. Wander through the remains and dungeons of this historic fortress and then delve deep into the town's history at the adjacent museum. Capture panoramic views from the observation platform and let the children revel in the castle's play area. Nearby campsites just a short drive away offer caravan pitches equipped with amenities such as electric hookups, washrooms, and play areas as well as lodges equipped with kitchens and private patios.

Yorkshire Dales National Park

The Yorkshire Dales, a sprawling national park of valleys, hills, and quaint villages, is a camper's paradise. Hike along scenic trails like the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail, or take on the challenge of the Three Peaks. Campers can explore underground wonders like White Scar Cave or engage in cycling, horseback riding, and rock climbing above the surface. After a day of adventure, settle into one of the many campsites near the park, offering tent and caravan pitches with electric hookups, showers, and children play areas. Private cottage rentals are also available in the villages, or go off-the-grid with wild camping on private lands with landowner permission.

River Nidd

Flowing gracefully through Knaresborough, River Nidd provides water adventures for campers in the area. Enjoy picnics by the riverside, embark on canoeing trips, or try fishing for brown trout and grayling. Along the river banks are unique attractions, including the fascinating Mother Shipton's Cave, for campers to explore on dry land. Stay on a sprawling farm campsite near the river, and opt for tent or caravan pitches to enjoy amenities like electric hookups, toilets, and washrooms.

When to go

Knaresborough experiences mild summers with temperatures between 15–25°C, perfect for outdoor activities. Winters are cooler, averaging 2–8°C, with potential frost and occasional snow. Spring and autumn present mild conditions, ideal for exploring the hiking trails in Yorkshire Dales.
