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.

Having recently sold our caravan we were looking for an alternative base for our regular short trips back down to Yorkshire. Very friendly & helpful staff. Clean & warm pod with built in toilet & shower facilities & the bonus of a TV. Lots of places to revisit - Mount Grace Priory was a highlight as was Bettys in Northallerton. We will be back.
Wonderful staff, thoughtful. Excellent facilities. Comfy pod.
I have been here many times now with my family in different sized groups. The pods are amazing. I visited this time for a break on my own. It was so tranquil. Also great in the summer when kids are playing out on the huge green space in front of the pods. I would definitely recommend for families, couples or people just needing a peaceful retreat. One of my very favourite places to be.
Love to escape and chill at Hillside .. this can be achieved so easily here .. well kept site, immaculate facilities , helpful friendly owners and staff .. nothing is a problem ..safe and secure ..,what more can you ask for
Really enjoyed our 4 night stay in October. We are a couple who usually books adult only sites but found this site "outside of school holidays" to be peaceful, quiet and it had lovely views. The campsite on first look appeared extremely busy with touring caravans on pitches, but most were not in use. We booked the fully serviced super pitch which was enormous. The grounds were very tidy and well kept. We found the toilet block to be a bit basic, only a few toilets and showers for the size of camp. We were lucky being there when the camp was pretty empty. Water pressure wasn't great for having a hot shower and lights kept turning off before I had time to finish. Shower's were also at set temperature, which was okay for me, but my husband found the water a bit chilly. Having said that we would definitely return to visit the surrounding towns and places of interest which were only a short drive away, but only at less busy times.
An amazing stay couldn't fault anything. Staff all went above & beyond & cleanliness of facilities were excellent. Will definitely be back.
Quite site with good facilities, large pitches, we picked a fully serviced pitch whip included chemical waste disposal on the pitch, shower blocks really warm and very clean only 10am on the fully serviced pitches but if you book the extra large pitch by the pond they are 16amp but don’t have on pitch chemical disposal, but that’s no problem .wont hesitate to go back again
We had one of the super sized pitches and it really lived up to its description. The first impression when you arrive at your pitch is "Is this all for us?". The gravel pitch itself is huge with plenty of room for caravan, awning, car, tables, etc. In addition the space between the pitches is vast. Combined with the open views to the hills, this feels like you have the place to yourself. The site itself is immaculate and continually mowed by an army of robot mowers, which can surprise your dog on the late night patrol. The owners have also designated a number of their field where you can walk your dog around the boundaries, which is very generous and unique in my experience. But there are loads of pheasants/squirrels around so our dog was on lead the whole time. My only criticism would be the the toilet block is a bit small for the number of vans on site. We were there at a quiet time but in high season it could get busy (there are other loos at the reception but its a bit of a trek).
Beautifully kept site , very relaxing ,all facilities very good and clean .staff very approachable and helpful.Easy access to A19 .So good we stayed an extra week
