A distinguished 9-acre haven located just outside the picturesque village of Knayton in North Yorkshire, Hillside Caravan Park stands out as an award-winning family-run retreat. This idyllic park seamlessly blends luxury facilities with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere for visitors.
Nestled in the heart of Herriot country, Hillside serves as an ideal launching point for exploring the North York Moor National Park, the East Yorkshire coast, historic market towns, and the culturally rich city of York.
The park accommodates touring caravans and motorhomes, offers a unique 'glamping' experience in luxurious camping pods, and features a cosy holiday cottage, ensuring a diverse range of choices for guests. Welcoming both children and dogs, Hillside Caravan Park strives to provide a warm and family-friendly environment.
The park boasts top-notch facilities for touring caravans and motorhomes, with the capacity to cater to up to 50 units. The small, family-run park is enveloped by the stunning Hambleton hills, creating an atmosphere where guests can truly relax and relish their holiday in comfort and tranquillity.
Among the onsite facilities at Hillside, a heated amenity block provides convenience and comfort to guests. Additionally, a spacious recreational area is available and forms an ideal space for children to engage in games and outdoor play. For those seeking connectivity, a small coffee lounge with free WiFi access is provided, ensuring that guests can stay connected while surrounded by natural beauty.
One of the highlights of Hillside Caravan Park is the Deluxe Mega Pods, offering a complete glamping experience. These locally-built pods feature contemporary country decor, providing a comfortable and stylish space for guests to relax and unwind. The Mega Pods aim to offer a warm, cosy, and comfortable glamping experience, allowing guests to feel close to nature while still enjoying the comforts of home.
The park's commitment to quality extends to its dog-friendly approach, with ample opportunities for nature walks surrounded by outstanding natural beauty. With established walking routes, guests and their furry companions can explore the scenic landscape and capture the essence of the local wildlife.
For those seeking self-catering accommodations, Hillside Caravan Park presents The Granary Cottage. This high-quality lodging, converted from a traditional stone barn, accommodates up to four people. Retaining some of the original beams, the cottage combines a contemporary ambiance with a touch of tradition, offering a unique and comfortable retreat.
Hillside’s strategic location provides easy access to various tourist destinations, including idyllic countryside walks, historic market towns, pubs and restaurants, stately homes, abbeys and golf courses.

Great location friendly and welcoming staff. Good clean facilities.We had four nights here and the location is very quiet and scenic, great base to travel to local points of interest.We traveled from here to the park and ride to York for the day, about 40 minutes away.
Great views , enjoyed our stay.Good clean toilet block.Just starting to get a bit pricey, but overall a really good site
Hillside was a very clean and well maintained site, it was great for dog walks and poo bins provided. The facilities were lovely and clean with everything you need on site with laundry, dog wash, pot wash. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, we would definitely return to Hillside Caravan Park.
We pushed the boat out and went for a fully serviced pitch, plenty of room between pitches on a very well maintained park. Shower and toilet blocks very clean and modern. A very quiet site with plenty of walks and as we have a border collie who just loves walking these were great. The views from.the top of the fields opposite the park were fantastic and the quietness was deafening. We could of heard a pin drop. Dog wash on site is very clean modern and inside. Shame site doesn't have a small restaurant/ bar but not a deal breaker and we knew this when booking. Overall a very peaceful enjoyable stay. Highly recommend and will definitely return in the future.
In our 50 years of caravan and camping experiences we were so bowled over by the immaculately kept site where we met up with our friends on the adjacent pitch .the weather was very hit and miss but didn’t spoil our holiday. Thirty years since we visited Yorkshire and were impressed to return and find how much improved roads were and amazed at the care taken over upkeep of the whole area .Highlight was visiting Mathewsons car auction (TV show fame) .which our men are fans of .So nice to shop in Northallerton with its individual shops and market ( lost in so many towns ) local pub really good. Overal great.
This site is one of the best in North Yorkshire, Location is excellent, can't fault the cleanliness of the facilities. Very handy dog friendly pub in the quiet village of Knayton.
The site is clean, friendly staff & we found it very relaxing
Having recently stayed at Hillside, we would highly recommend this site to anyone wishing to explore the North York Moors and it's beautiful villages and towns. The facilities were superb and very clean and tidy at all times....one of the best we've come across. There is even a lovely cosy coffee lounge off the main reception for enjoying a relaxing cuppa while studying the great selection of guides and leaflets provided for the local area. The site was really well laid out too, with spacious pitches throughout. We had a fully serviced pitch, which even had a direct drain for our cassette toilet to be emptied into, saving those little trips to the chemical disposal points. All the staff were very helpful, friendly and always easily available if needed. We would definitely stay here again, and can't wait to revisit this excellent site. Thank you to the management and staff for a well run site.
A lovely, well kept camp site with excellent facilities, toilets and showers were immaculate. Staff were helpful and friendly and it is situated in a beautiful and quiet area. I have no negatives whatsoever and would highly recommend this camp site to anyone. I am planning to return here ASAP.
Wonderful experience from the beginning. Friendly staff and great communication. Beautiful site with great facilities and gorgeous views.
