Bolton Abbey Club Campsite is one of the prettiest locations on the network - it is part of the Bolton Abbey estate and located in an open glade surrounded by woodland and the glorious Yorkshire Dales. The site attracts lots of wildlife with ducks, pheasants, other birds and squirrels often congregating around the site. Within the boundaries of the estate are some 75 miles of footpaths through moors, woods and farmlands, all easily accessible from this North Yorkshire caravan site. The woods include some lovely dog walks. The ruins of the 12th century Bolton Priory stand on a placid curve of the River Wharf and have been painted by Turner and Landseer as well as earning praise from Wordsworth.
Skipton is a mere 9 miles away from the Bolton Abbey Club Campsite and is an historic town with traditional cobbled streets and a picturesque canal to wander along. There is also a regular street market and well preserved medieval fortress, which are a must for visitors to the caravan park. Skipton also serves as the starting point for one of England's most beautiful train journeys - the Settle to Carlisle line. The nearby pretty village of Grassington offers stunning views, gorgeous stone buildings, shops and pubs. The Yorkshire Dales is home to a variety of tearooms and cafes, offering the perfect opportunity for refreshments after a busy day exploring. Dusty Bluebells is reported to serve delicious local produce and fine teas and coffees. The Red Lion at Burnsall and the Devonshire Arms at Bolton Abbey are great options for places to eat and drink that are not too far from the site. Both pubs are an easy 3 mile riverside walk away, in opposite directions.

Lovely Site
Bolton Abbey Estate Club Campsite
We spent two nights at the beginning of September and couldn’t fault the site at all. Immaculately clean and tidy with a very warm welcome from the wardens on arrival.
The walks from the site were excellent and although we only made it to Cavendish Pavillion we will return to spend a day exploring further and visiting the Priory.
The WiFi and internet connection wasn’t great but it turned out to be a bonus being disconnected from Social Media for a couple of nights!
We will definitely be returning soon.
superb in every way
Bolton Abbey Estate Club Campsite
Cannot praise enough the tidiness of the site, the cleanliness and the very warm welcome from Yvonne and Laurence. We had lots of small issues and questions which were remedied quickly and with helpful advise. All credit to them both and sorry they wont be continuing the good work. There will be big boots to fill in the future.
Great wardens
Bolton Abbey Estate Club Campsite
Had a 10 night stay on this really lovely peaceful site. The lady & gentleman wardens were fantastic & made the atmosphere very friendly. The site was spotless the whole time we stayed. They really worked hard to keep the site tidy. Great hardstanding pitches. The walking from the site is brill, straight into the woods. A sturdy pair of walking boots is helpful as some of the walking is steep. Loads of wildlife, we saw deer, a mouse, frog, squirrels, robins, pheasants, rabbits, ducks, goosanders, herons & fish. Tv signal a bit rubbish, but no biggy really as it was great to read my kindle. If you want a site to get away from it all this is the site for you. So quiet & peaceful we didn’t want to come home.

Excellent site
Bolton Abbey Estate Club Campsite
We visited Bolton Abbey campsite for the second time. As before it was very well maintained. Yvonne and Lawrence were very friendly and helpful and could not do enough for us. We would be happy to return there at any time.
June 2024 Stay
Bolton Abbey Estate Club Campsite
This was our first stay in a Club site and will probably be our last. You are met with a barrage of signs, do this don't do that etc. all what had been specified in booking communications.
Good size level pitch with clean gravel although power supply was on the next pitch, the TV connection was even further away. There is no TV signal. I have a lead but would not reach the post (never had this problem before and my connection was on the side of the post. When mentioned this to the warden was told I could buy one for £20 (prehaps loaning or hiring might be more customer friendly). Very little mobile phone signal and the 'free wifi' was restricted making it virtualy unusable (when it was available). The amenities block was cleaned once a day and had very little ventilation/extraction so never dried and became dirty with use during the day with a lot of flys/midges round the showers. When cleaners clean the toilets they need to close the toilet door and look at the back of them, there were cobwebs there for the duration of our stay.
The amenities are 'cleaned' from 10:30 to 12:00, the last leaving time is 11:00 so when all packed ready to go you cannot use them and wash your hands before leaving-very poor planning.
It is not a quiet and peaceful site being next to a school with children that played out a lot and on the flightpath from Leeds Bradford airport. During our stop there was a dog that consistently barked (even when owner was talking to a warden) but nobody took any action over this.
We were very dissapointed with this site and consider it one of the worst we have stopped at.
