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.

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.
