One of the best touring caravan parks the Yorkshire Dales has to offer, Akebar Park is the most exceptional family-friendly park. We’re proud to have one of the best pubs in Wensleydale, ‘The Friars Head’, onsite. Not only that, but our stunning holiday park also boasts a golf course and great park facilities, making it one of the best parks in North Yorkshire.

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.

5 stars all the way!

Souter, Rosella - 11/01/2026

Absolutely loved our stay here! The lodge we stayed in was spotless, warm and had all the essentials we needed for our 2 week Christmas stay. The family-friendly environment made it the perfect place for all the family to have fun and relax with easy access to local towns and beautiful walks. The caravan park is beautifully maintained, safe, and welcoming, with everything you need for a stress-free stay. The pub is a great place to relax and the food is delicious with a great children’s menu. We couldn’t fault it and would happily recommend it to anyone and have already done so! Thank you Akebar Park, we can’t wait to return!

Lovely stay & great accommodation

Watson, Marie - 13/11/2025

We had a great stay and were really pleased with the accommodation. The lodge was brand new and had all the facilities we needed including a coffee machine and airfryer which was unexpected. The hot tub was a real bonus and the kids loved it as did we. Added bonus was to have the Friers pub where we enjoyed a great bonfire night and a meal on the following evening. This is a real gem of a place! Also to mention that the lodge was spotlessly clean with complimentary toiletries and fluffy towels. Great value for money for what we felt was a 5 star stay.

Lovely park, so pretty. Lovely facilities, great golf course and friendly helpful staff. Caravans clean and well stocked my only suggestion for improvement was the beds weren’t that comfortable, normal for caravan rentals but I have had better.

Overall a good weekend, food at the friars head was excellent on both occasions, the site was clean and tidy, toilets were clean, the only complaint we had is that the showers were cold no matter what time we tried to use them.

A great few days away

Swift, Alison - 31/10/2025

We had a great time staying at Akebar Park. Staff were friendly and lodge was lovely and clean and within a great setting. My daughter liked the play area and the mini golf. We also made friends with the resident ducks that would come to see us. Would have loved to have been able to book a table in the Friars Head but it was completely booked up for the time we were here so found food elsewhere in the places we visited including Whitby, York and the nearby Bolton Arms in Leyburn. A great few days away.
