Akebar Park has been run by the same family for over 50 years and is a family-friendly touring site, ideal for touring caravans and motorhomes, with plenty of space for children to enjoy and with outstanding views over the open countryside.
Akebar Park's touring site is a great space for your family holiday, offering grass pitches with electric hook-up, along with a well-equipped children’s play area. The touring field has toilets and showers, washing up areas and chemical waste disposal facilities. We have an onsite shop with basic supplies, and larger supermarkets are located within just a 10-minute drive from Akebar. What’s more, our staff are always on hand to help you have an amazing time – so it’s really no wonder that we’re considered one of the best holiday parks in Yorkshire!
We are an award-winning park and have been awarded the David Bellamy Conservation Gold Award by the British Holiday & Home Parks Association. The award shows that as a park we have taken steps to manage our land as a haven for wildlife; reduce our use of energy and water; reduce, reuse and recycle the waste we produce and support our local community. We have also featured in the Top 100 Sites in recent years.
All customers must report to reception on arrival, where we will be happy to check you in and let you know where your pitch is. Our wardens will be on hand to guide you and help you settle in. Our guests always enjoy their stay here, as we’re an ideal base for walking, cycling and fishing.
The largest touring area on the park, well-lit on an evening with our eco-friendly electric bollards.
The area is beautifully lined with rows of poplar trees. This area of the park is perfectly situated for the Children’s Play Area and is very close to the toilet and shower facilities. The poplars is only available for electric hook ups. These pitches are hard standing with 16 amp hook-up.
Electric Hook-up |
Located next to the 12th Century, St. Andrews Church.
This area of the park is only for touring caravans and motorhomes and offers spacious hardstanding pitches with 16 amp electric hook up. It is a very flat area, making pitching up hassle free. Overlooking the fields, you may see a sheep or two!
Electric Hook-up |
Reserved for Seasonal Tourers, although on Bank Holidays, can be used as extra touring space.

Lots of places to visit nearby so fantastic base also lovely restaurant on site and pub.
Stayed July 22 very well looked after site staff always on hand to help if needed showers and wc were clean
Omg the 4 families opposite us in the poplars were ridiculously loud, rude and sweary in front of kids, even at 2-3 in the afternoon, that was before the loud party music that started about 3.30 until 10-11 at night. Thankfully we were able to move (thanks) Sympathies with the staff on site, they must have been horrified too. Hopefully you can find a way to stop that kind of nonsense ruining the trip for everyone near by. Apart from that, our kids loved it!
Bad pitch in spite of early booking and payment in advance. Main playground for children appeared to be the sanitary block, around, inside and in front of. No parental supervision. Especially during the weekend very loud and noisy groups due to family celebrations. Though clean several tabs in sanitary area were not working properly. On complaining to staff representative, only response was: you can call the warden.
Facilities are lovely and clean and well looked after. The pub restaurant at the top of the site is dog friendly and the meals and staff are really good. Would definitely go back and recommend it. Not a lot for children to do other than the play area but we only used it as a base for all the attractions in the area like forbidden corner, asgarth falls and the Wensleydale creamery
Facilities were extremely clean. Children loved the play area and football pitch. Caravan pitches were excellent
Both of the family showers weren’t working, no running water. We have visited before and haven’t had any problems. The water in the womens showers was too hot for our kids to stand under. Usually everyone complains they aren’t hot enough but these are so hot they burn you.
Akebar is in a delightful location with Leyburn close by as well as beautiful countryside. The site shop staff were particularly helpful and friendly. Akebar reception also efficient and very helpful - a pleasure to be there. Good to see their amenities block so clean, regardless of time of day/night - seems Akebar have managed to oust the bad behaviour of former campers (predominantly children) around the toilet areas. Really enjoyed our stay, despite being a little overcrowded around electrics.
Fifteen minutes from two large supermarkets toilets were clean and showers always hot 👍
Facilities and amenities fine, toilets and showers clean. Pitches were a little bit tight and close together especially for a twin axle caravan
