Why stay here ...
The Howard Rosedale Abbey Club Site is a most attractive, tranquil riverside location in the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, on the edge of Rosedale Abbey and north of Pickering - one of popular North Yorkshire caravan sites. This is very much 'Heartbeat' country and fans of the television show are bound to recognise locations and the atmosphere of the television programme. Farndale Valley is adjacent to the caravan site and here the famous wild daffodils can be enjoyed around Easter time; in mid-August the Rosedale show is another not-to-be-missed event.
You will find the coast is within easy driving distance of the Howard Rosedale Abbey Club Site and all the conveniences you could want are available in nearby Pickering, together with the terminus of North Yorkshire Moors Steam Railway. There are also many interesting historic sites to visit in the vicinity, such as the fascinating Jurassic rock formations at National Trust Bridestones, and nearby English Heritage sites, Pickering Castle, Whitby Abbey and Helmsley Castle. For the active, there are extensive opportunities for walking and cycling in the forests close to the caravan park. A short stroll away, the village of Rosedale boasts two lovely pubs and a hotel.
Please note: this site does not have a toilet block.

Lovely peaceful stay in N Yorks Moors
This is a lovely basic site, basic in that there are no showers or toilets but if anything that adds to the charm.
Nicely situated on the edge of Rosedale Abbey, the site is immaculately clean and very well looked after by the wardens. On our arrival we were offered some parking mats as we were on a grass pitch with a 4.5T twin axle and the forecast was for changeable weather. This was a great help as it rained most days and the grass was slippery after a shower on our day of departure. The mats worked a treat and saved any need for a tow.
We loved the peace and quiet of the site ( apart from the local boy racer who liked to pass the site at 6.30am constantly hooting his horn - not bothered, just turned over and went back to sleep ) and the proximity of the pub over the road which did excellent food. We had 4 meals there during our 7 day stay. There are 2 lovely cafes in the village as well and basic shopping is also facilitated.
We didn't get out as much as we would have liked but we will save that for next time.
Facilities are only marked down because there really aren't any apart from water and waste and electricity but everything was very clean. You can get wifi from the office if you want it.
Great site and super staff.
Lovely setting for getting away from it all
There no phone signal! Marvellous! There's no internet! Even more marvellous!
Just perfect when you want to get away from it.
Loved the site, we would have preferred to have a toilet block but perhaps that would take away some of the appeal. You could never call the site noisy and I'm sure nobody can expect the local farmers to worry about us caravaners but as our pitch backed on to the road, there was some early morning traffic that was enough to disturb sleep. Next time I'll select the brook side of the site. We'll be back for certain.

Fantastic service!
The wardens are friendly and could not be more helpful. It was a our first trip of the year and typically our caravan developed a heating system problem. We were offered practical advice and a solution that really helped us out. This is a really well-looked after site in a wonderful location and we will definitely be going back!
This site is much more relaxing and much better value than the larger sites.
What a lovely site. Following a really friendly welcome, we were pitched within minutes and ready to start our short break. It felt a bit isolated, but with a couple of pubs and cafes within 100 metres of the site the sense of community was very evident. As you would expect, some fantastic walking especially as the weather was good.
We really like these smaller sites with no shower blocks. They are much more relaxing and much better value than the larger sites. Let's hope we get more of these on the network soon. Have a great holiday!
Our first visit to The Howard
Wardens are lovely friendly people and the site is a credit to them.
We found the hardstanding pitches lovely and level. We pitched on the left hand side backing onto the road and at first did not see a problem but the traffic is constant with cars and agricultural vehicles. No Wi-Fi or phone signal on site but you can get Wi-Fi at the Coachman Inn opposite the site or at Abbey tea rooms. We had the Sunday lunch at the other pub in the village £10.95 it was ok. The meal at the Coachman Inn was nicer but cost more. You cannot get a mobile phone signal unit you reach the main road to Pickering 7,5 miles or go up onto Danby Moor. The site was suited more to dog owners and walkers. No shower block but shower for the dogs Lol. You can arrive between 10-12 which is unusual and is a big problem as approach roads very narrow and site narrow, as it is built on what was an old railway station.
