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. Guests can explore the diverse attractions that North Yorkshire has to offer, all conveniently located near their caravan or Mega Pod.

Been to this site many times, ist time in pod, as usual met high standards for staff and facilities
We stay at Hillside throughout the year and find that it is consistently good. We usually stay mid-week and find that there is no overcrowding, that the facilities are maintained to a high standard of function and cleanliness.The grounds are well kept and the views from every pitch are pleasant. It’s very easy to access market towns and historic sites in North Yorkshire -even shopping outlets and cinemas on rainy days.The staff are friendly and helpful but do not intrude on your stay.
The whole experience is excellent, from pleasant staff, the massive pitches, all well maintained, the toilet/shower block, well just everything. It's peaceful and just a beautiful setting. This trip was our 5 or 6th time here. We will be back.
Hillside CP is one of the best parks we have had the pleasure of staying in, not just for this trip, but for all 3 of our trips to the UK. The park and facilities are all very modern, clean and well maintained. The location is well placed to venture in most directions within North Yorkshire, with the only downside, which is well beyond the parks control, is the road to the park being a single lane with passing bays road which definitely requires an upgrade by the local authorities but don’t let this put you off, this park really sets a standard for other parks to follow, especially in the private sector! We will definitely return here on our next UK adventure.
everything 10 out of 10. especially being towed to your pitch and set up
Went with my dog for firework free 3 days.Proved to be the perfect place, some fireworks from the village, but they didn't bother him.Super base to do some walking in North Yorkshire Moors.Great staff, superbly maintained site and the glamps are just right.
This is our third stay at Hillside and can’t wait to go again. We tend to request pitches 26/27/28, as these are close to the facilities as a blue badge holder this is convenient for me.The only thing I would think be useful is another shower block over the far side of the site as several people have to drive to the shower block to empty toilets etc.Strange seeing the robotic lawnmowers going up and down even at night with their headlights on 🤔.The staff are very helpful and passionate about the site ,the facilities are immaculate and cleaned to a very high standard.It’s ideal setting quite yet within easy reach of many places of interest.Pitches are large and have full range of facilities on them .Go and see for yourself,you won’t be disappointed.
Excellent site, clean and well maintained. Wonderful views of surrounding countryside, helpful friendly staff. Perfect site for all the family.
Amazing site we are store and stay residents and will be here for a lot of years to come
All staff very knowledgeable, welcoming, always willing to help if any problems experienced. Charges quite high but you have to pay for quality. Can't think of any improvements that could be made to the site including individual pitches. Think better use of the lounge area behind reception could be made better use of.
