Touring & Camping Holidays

We offer hardstanding touring pitches with electric hook up for caravans and motorhomes, and grass camping pitches with a choice of electric or non-electric for tents. We also have a choice of two holiday homes available for short breaks.

The park is open all year round.

You can book online or call our reservations team on 01653 648316.

Early booking is recommended, especially during peak seasons.

For touring and camping pitches, check-in is from 12 noon and check-out is by 12 noon on your day of departure. Holiday Home guests can check in from 4pm and check out is by 10am to allow us time to clean, prior to the next guests arriving.

Specific pitch requests can be made, and we’ll do our best to accommodate them, but they cannot be guaranteed.

Awnings are permitted at a cost of £3 per day. Please select an awning when you make your booking, or call us on 01653 648316 if you would like to add it after you have made your booking.

Pup tents are not permitted.

Tents can be up to 7 meters.

We do not restrict the size of tourers. Please contact us if you have a very large motorhome to check requirements.

The initial price includes up to two people. Additional people are charged at £2 per person per night. You are permitted up to a maximum of 6 people per pitch.

The holiday park offers warm showers and toilet blocks, coin operated laundry facilities, dishwashing areas, waste disposal, and drinking water points.

There is a small shop stocking essential items and some luxuries. You can pick up fresh bread, cakes, fresh meat from the Castle Howard Butchery, and a selection of groceries in addition to wine, beer and even our very own Castle Howard Gin. For a wider range of goods, Castle Howard’s Farm Shop is just a few minutes’ drive.

A local fish and chip van will visit the holiday park on various weekends during peak times. The Castle Howard Estate also has several cafés and restaurants just a few minutes’ drive away.

A pathway along the road will lead you to Castle Howard and takes around 25-30 minutes to walk. It is a country path so may not always be suitable for buggies. Parking is available at Castle Howard if you wish to drive.

Holiday Park guests can enjoy 2 for 1 access to Castle Howard Grounds and Gardens. You will be emailed a code and instructions when you book that you can use for the discount. If you would like to visit the House, normal ticket prices apply.

Absolutely! The estate and surrounding countryside offer beautiful walking and cycling trails.

Fishing is permitted in designated areas of the lakes. You’ll need to bring your own equipment and purchase a fishing permit from reception for £7 per person, per stay. Please be aware, it is not a managed lake and fishing is an ancillary offering.
