One of our many caravan and motorhome sites in North Yorkshire, the Knaresborough Club Campsite is set in Lower Nidderdale and serves as a perfect gateway to the Yorkshire Dales and the many attractions of the North of England. The site is surrounded by mature trees and hedges and on fine days it is sunny yet well sheltered.

The historic market town of Knaresborough is within easy access of Knaresborough Club Campsite and boasts a nostalgic town crier, ancient walkways, atmospheric castle ruins, cobbled alleys and secret passages that lead to picturesque tea rooms, delightful restaurants and quaint traditional pubs. 

The central market is home to the weekly Wednesday market which is still famous for its locally prepared lavender water. Summer activities include the annual Bed Race in June and Knaresborough Festival in August. This campsite has it all: boating on the River Nidd, scenic walks, excellent dog walk nearby, tennis and pitch 'n' putt - all in all a family destination likely to prove a winner throughout the season. Don't miss beautiful Ripley Castle, the old Court House Museum, magical Mother Shipton's Cave and Petrifying Well.

Throughout the year, you can take advantage of the Wanderer Cafe Bar on site, and the children can burn off their energy at the site's play area.

Fantastic weekend away

Knaresborough Club Campsite
Me and the wife stayed at knaresborough club site on the 1/12/23-3/12/23 for a weekend away. What a lovely quiet site it was, the staff were very friendly and were very welcoming. We chose knaresborough as it’s only an hour or so away from home, not too far but just far enough for a get away, we enjoyed a day in the town when the Christmas market was on walks all down the river and to mother shiptons caves. It was a lovely weekend away. The site was clean tidy and well kept, the main entrance is a little tight when arriving but once in it’s lovely. The food in the restaurant was lovely too on the first night, only criticism I’d have would be the restaurant/bar not taking cash, as I like to budget for weekends /weeks away so saving cash up is easier for me, and only finding out it’s cashless after the order was in, that’s my only gripe, but thankfully the club still takes my cash to pay for the stay so that’s a 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me. Lovely site, welcoming staff, you’ll love it here Tom

Loved this site

Knaresborough Club Campsite
Really friendly and helpful staff. Just about walkable to Knaresborough but buses also outside. Lovely toilet block (x2). Pub and bar on site, basic food but tasty, well cooked and very good staff. Lots of excellent attractions and walks nearby. Really enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Can’t wait to visit again

Knaresborough Club Campsite
We stayed here for 6 nights. What a wonderful site. We were greeted at reception by a very friendly and helpful warden. Always a good start. Our pitch was very good with many pitches separated by hedges. I can’t speak about the toilet block as we didn’t use it. The site itself was very tidy and looked very well cared for. Although we didn’t think we would use the bistro we did actually go in twice. Once after a local walk we called in for a drink on our way back to our van. The second we met up with friends who were staying on site for a couple of nights. Despite planning to just have a drink together we all ended up having a meal. It was quite basic but no complaints and very well priced. There is so much to do and see within half an hour of the site. Something for everyone. We left quite reluctantly knowing it wouldn’t be long before we visit again.

Brilliant Site

Knaresborough Club Campsite
If I could give this site more than 100% I would. The facilities are top notch - as is the cafe/bar/bistro on site. The main reason though for the high score are the staff. They couldn’t have been more helpful, friendly and accommodating! Would definitely recommend. Area is lovely with lots to do around and about. We just stayed for two nights but would have happily made it more if we could.

Excellent location

Knaresborough Club Campsite
We stayed for 8 nights and can't fault the site or the staff. It is really well located for lovely walks along the River Nid and also visits to the many picturesque towns nearby. We took the train from Knaresborough into York to see the sights and that was very straightforward and saved city driving. Brilliant for a long stay but also well located for a stop off going North or South.
