Akebar Park

4.5 (79 reviews)

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.

Spoilt holiday

James, Deborah - 08/09/2026

I had to check out a day early because new lodges were being assembled right in front of my decking, making it impossible to sit out there for a cup of coffee. And shutting the noise out by closing the doors and windows just made it too hot in the lodge. Thoughtless planning!!!

Brilliant dog owner holiday

Free, Christine - 18/08/2026

4

After years of self catering holidays Akebar Park definitely has the best facilities for dog owners i have had. The enclosed dog excercise field is an excellent facility and the on site pub which allows dogs to accompany guests is also a huge bonus.The caravan we stayed in had good facilities however there were huge stains on the carpet and the settee cushions had black mould on the back . The decking was large and had a large table and 6 chairs on.There are lots of play facilities for children and an on-site golf course for adults.

Lovely break

Bradford, Katie - 18/08/2026

5

The lodge was well equipped clean and tidy and had lots of little extras too like travel sized shampoo and conditioner. We knew we would have to use the car to travel anywhere so used this as a base to explore. York is within easy distance and the park and ride makes this easier and Richmond is a lovely place to visit. The forbidden corner was a great afternoon too. The site itself is very peaceful and the children enjoyed the hot tub. We had no issues during our stay and felt this was a great, comfortable lodge to stay in whilst we explored the local area during the day. P

Just what we wanted

Sinmons, Debra - 11/08/2026

5

We picked a Wensleydale pet caravan to hire. It was spacious, well equipped and lovely. Smart tv, WiFi, 2 bedrooms of a good size. A veranda with a gate for the dog. There’s also a dedicated dog exercise area and a park for the children. Pub on site is lovely and we ate twice and my little girl played mini golf lots of times. Site is within 20/30 minutes of lots of nice places to visit. The forbidden corner was fab! Loved the site, quiet and relaxed.

Highly impressed with "basic" caravan stay

Moodie, Lorna - 07/08/2026

5

I booked this park last minute as we had some time off work and wanted to visit the nearby attractions. We chose the cheapest grade of pet friendly caravan available as we were only going to use it as a base to sleep and be out all day. This "basic" caravan was the equivalent of the higher graded caravans at well known holiday parks. The caravan was spotlessly clean, towels were supplied, beds were made up, there was an AirFryer provided and also some little tea and coffee with UHT milks. Crockery and cooking utensils were of good quality, and there was even toiletries supplied in the bathroom. The staff we interacted with were friendly and welcoming and even got us some more pillows when we asked - nothing was an issue to them. There is a lovely little duck pond on site and a really nice little playpark which my kids loved. The park is quite remote so would recommend visiting this area with a car rather than trying to rely on public transport. We will be back!
