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.

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.

Wonderful site and location

Welch, Anna - 26/04/2025

5

Everything was perfectly organised, staff were very helpful, and the showers and toilets were always immaculate. Although the site was pretty full, it was so well spaced that it never felt busy or noisy. The location for walking and running is brilliant, which was our main reason for visiting; the field edges on site were an unexpected bonus as could walk the dogs nearby too and never busy.

From the moment we arrived at Hillside Campsite, we were greeted with friendly, helpful staff. Check-in was swift and we were soon on our designated pitch.The pitch was large with plenty of room for caravan, awning and vehicle.The grounds were very well maintained and the grass was manicured to within an inch if its life.The ground staff who we saw regularly, were friendly and very helpful.The facilities, toilet and showers room were extremely clean and had everything that you could wish for.We chose this site for location, which was perfect for our needs, as we wanted to visit lots of places in the area, and price, which for the facilities that were on offer, was very good value for money.We would highly recommend this site, and hope to in the future, visit again.

A lovely campsite, situated in an excellent position with fabulous views of the Moors. We loved it so much, we left our caravan there in storage, so that we can now visit regularly.Lots of pitches and lodges, but still manages to feel very quiet.Thoroughly recommend - oh and the staff are soooo helpful and friendly!
