Why stay here ...
CL of the Year Awards 2016 - 2nd Place
Payment in full on arrival please.
Port Arthur Farm is a quiet and friendly family run CL site surrounded by several villages amidst some of the area's most beautiful countryside. Our Site mainly comprises of a meticulously maintained level field with a choice of grass or hard standing pitches, all in excess of 1.5 acres. We are open all year round and because of the sheer size of the site and variety of pitches, we can accommodate all set-ups throughout the changing seasons and in any extremes of weather, there's no boggy pitches here!
Our Site offers a brand new purpose built heated washroom (November 2015) incorporating a large shower room with w.c. and wash hand basin, another separate wc, a sink/drainer with hot water facility and a useful information area.
The location of the CL Site within our Farm was purposely chosen to optimise views of the countryside and all pitches offer pretty much round the clock sunshine (mother nature permitting!). The new washroom is directly on the site in a lovely elevated position boasting a fantastic decked area giving Campers a great viewing point over the Site.
For the keen cyclists and ramblers we are perfectly situated for exploring the surrounding networks of walk and cycle routes; nearby Nidd Gorge has recently been linked from Knaresborough to Harrogate then onto Ripley. Knaresborough is a mere 2.3 miles away with plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants, a weekly market, The Castle and Grounds and much more. Harrogate is around 5 miles down the road offering endless shops and an abundance of restaurants, not forgetting Bettys Famous Tearooms, The Great Yorkshire Showground, RHS Harlow Carr Gardens and much more. Nearby places of interest are Ripon, Boroughbridge, Otley, Leeds, Wetherby, Skipton - the list goes on and on. Closer to home, just about a mile away, is Scotton Village which boasts an excellent Pub, the Guy Fawkes Arms, which offers outstanding food (booking recommended) and fine ales . . . so if you fancy a few drinks and a great meal in good local company, it's just a short walk from us.
Approached by its own private gated entrance and access road making your ins and outs stress free and your set-up safe, Port Arthur Farm CL is an ideal site for Caravanners and Motorhomers alike. It's the perfect place to stay whether you want to kick back and relax or get busy and explore what the area has to offer.
We think you will thoroughly enjoy your stay at Port Arthur Farm and guarantee a warm welcome from all the family (including our feathered friends!).

Fantastic CL Site
Port Arthur FarmWe really enjoyed our 3 night stay here, and will make it our base any time in future that we want to explore more of this beautiful part of Yorkshire. Graham couldn't be more friendly and helpful, and has clearly worked very hard to ensure it's a top-notch CL site. Steve & Sue Smith, from East Anglia.

We have just returned home after 7 nights at the site. This is the 2nd time we have been here and despite the rain we had a great time.Graham the owner is brilliant , the site is immaculate and he is a great host.He is very helpful and knowledgeable about the area .The site has toilets and a shower that were always pristine,the pitches are well spaced (grass/hardstanding)The site has a bus stop 500m away to Ripon/Knaresborough.There is a foot path to Knaresborough from the site(+-2miles)if you wanted a walk.There is a pub within walking distance that is renowned for its food(Guy Fawkes Arms)less than a mile on the pavement.All in all ,location is spot on and the site and owner 1st class.
Many thanks

Waterlogged
Port Arthur Farm
Stayed here for a week and whilst the weather hasn’t been the best the site was waterlogged. There aren’t any views from the site, no direct dog walks, down a track which had lots of potholes. Although Knaresborough and the area itself are astoundingly beautiful we wished we hadn’t committed to the full week at this site. 1 caravan came in, turned around and left after only a few minutes. Needs some upgrading.
First time here
Port Arthur FarmLovely welcome very helpful owner site was very wet on the grass I think in the summer it will be a very good site very poor mobile phone service even on EE and no WiFi but TV reception was OK the toilets and the shower room where very clean no that I use them the only drawer back on the site is the elsan emptying point is up five steps witch made it difficult for any one with mobility issues as my self and my Fred's that also stayed on the sit with us mabe a shallow ramp or the elsan point moved to ground level otherwise it was very pleasant stay.
