Why stay here ...
LOW 10% refundable deposit plus FREE cancellations and FREE amendments*
The Howard Rosedale Abbey Club Campsite 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 Campsite 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. Reception at this site closes at 6pm - latest arrival time is 8pm. If you will be arriving between 6pm - 8pm, please contact the site during the day of arrival before 6pm. The site team will be happy to provide you with your check in information.

Disappointed in beautiful countryside
The Howard, Rosedale Abbey Club Campsite
On arrival we were met by lovely hosts on a very clean and tidy site, located in some beautiful countryside. The location has some very dog friendly pubs, and cafes with plenty of walks around the site.
Disappointingly the site is located on the main road and there is some traffic noise, along with road works, which were noisy and lasted throughout our stay.
There are no ablution facilities at all, which was expected however the site next door, off the main road would have been a better choice.
The waste disposal requires separation of glass, however this is then located at a different drop off point making it really awkward to dispose of rubbish. Why not just move the glass bin to the same location as the rest!
Also to note, if you get stuck in the mud they don’t have any way to assist in getting you out, and made it clear, they wouldn’t help anyway … not that this effected us.
Great for dogs but very little for kids unless walking or biking as a pass time, definitely don’t expect to use multi devices as the WiFi can’t cope when you want a quiet 30 mins.
Our third stay
The Howard, Rosedale Abbey Club Campsite
So, I think I will have reviewed this site already, but it can stand another praiseworthy review I am sure.
Firstly - updates. The site now has club wifi! If you have been here before or read the site notes, you'll see there is no phone signal in much of this area, and especially so on the site. The club wifi is great - the signal is strong, and you can get 1 Mbps for free, all you have to do is log in every hour. I paid for the premium service and got over 50 Mbps, which is better than my home broadband.
The site is reached from the main Pickering road by a twisty roller coaster of a road, but it's fine if you take your time; watch out for the suicidal pheasants playing chicken, and don't bother washing your caravan before you travel, there's plenty of mud and manure on the road. It's an easy site to find and to enter, with a nice wide opening.
The layout is great, the pitches are big enough for van car and awning side by side, and the site doesn't get arsey if you park your caravan the 'wrong' way round ie, with tow bar away from the single access road. This gives us a lovely front window view of the beck and the beech trees that line it, instead of looking at another caravan 10 metres away.
No facilities apart from water and waste disposal which suits us just fine - it keeps the price nice and low. It's all spotlessly clean, and 100% in full working order.
Road noise - not that we could hear, maybe the odd Ivor Williams trailer rattling past in the day time, or a tractor now and again. If you're worried about this, pitch up on the beck side of the site, not the road side, and you'll be further away from the road.
There is a great pub literally opposite the site,and another one just up the hill, plus a couple of cafe/shops in the village. You are not far from Pickering (North Yorks Moors Railway and a castle and a LIDL) and Helmsley. There are great walks up on the moors, the folk museum at Ryedale, Rievaux abbey.... the list could go on and on!
Pat and Mick were lovely and welcoming, and the site was in beautiful condition. There was some very heavy rain, but there was only one pitch affected by a large puddle that emerged on the road, but it drained as soon as the rains stopped, and didn't seem to affect the couple on said pitch, they just had to walk round the back of their unit to get to the road way and avoid the puddle.
Will we be back? Most definitely!

The Howard, Rosedale Abbey Club Campsite
Wonderful location in the heart of the N York Moors. A lot of road noise during the day but very peaceful at night. Friendly welcome to this "no facilities" site with very high standard of pitches although we were disappointed that the EHU bollards are still lit all night! Good motorhome service point on entry and high standard of waste emptying as usual. Plenty of local information on site and in church with a very useful shop in the village. Excellent walking direct from site, but be prepared for the ascent out of the valley and watch out for the pheasants, partridges and grouse.

Our favourite place!
The Howard, Rosedale Abbey Club Campsite
We have visited this sit numerous times over many years, we love it! The wardens are always friendly and helpful, the wardens Karen and Luke and Pat and Mick keep the site immaculate and always ready to help in anyway they can.
There is a bit of road noise but it’s never bothered us, you can take a stroll around the village where there are two tea rooms both dog friendly and serve excellent food also a pub right opposite site, Coach House Inn, try their Desperate Dan Pie excellent!
Pickering and Malton are a short drive away where there are plenty shops, bars and cafes most dog friendly.
Then there are the amazing views, drive up Chimney Bank and see for miles, you can drive to Whitby or get steam train from Pickering, Goathland where Heartbeat was filmed is a lovely village. So much to see and do, plenty walks through stunning countryside, can’t wait for our next visit.
