Studfold Caravan & Camping Park

4.7 (69 reviews)

Unforgettable holidays are made at award-winning Studfold in the Yorkshire Dales. This is camping, glamping and caravanning at its best. Nestled in the emerald-green patchwork of the Yorkshire Dales near Pateley Bridge, you’ll enjoy breath-taking views, fantastic amenities and the freedom to relax with extra-wide pitches. There’s a warm, good old-fashioned Yorkshire welcome too.

There is a warm Dales welcome waiting for you at Studfold caravan, camping and glamping park. Whether you’re a family with children, couple, or sole adventurer, you’ll love the Nidderdale Experience. There’s so much to enjoy, and wonderful surroundings to relax in.

We have 38 extra large, flat, well-drained grass pitches for tents, caravans, camper vans and motorhomes, 26 with electric hook-up. And we have four locally made, exciting glamping pods, situated at the edge of the field, each able to sleep a family of four (two adults and two children), or a maximum of three adults. The pitches and glamping pods are organised for maximum space and comfort for all, and are very near to the large, level play area for children, perfect for ball games and running around. There is also access to the beck trickling alongside the campsite where children love to play and build dams. Fun for the little ones too, but they will need an adult with them.

Our outstanding facilities include electric hook ups, sparkling-clean toilet and shower block, as well as undercover cooking and socialising shelter (invaluable in wet weather), fire pits and WIFI vouchers. We also have the wonderful Nidderdale Way Cafe run by Julia, where you can enjoy an easy, delicious breakfast, as well as homemade snacks and treats throughout the day (weekends and local school holidays only).

What sets Studfold apart from other sites is that there is so much to do, on and off the site. Our famous Adventure Trail, renowned for its fairies and celebration of all things nature is part of Studfold, and is a fantastic family attraction, right on your caravan, tent or pod doorstep! If you book the Trail online as part of your stay you will get 2 days of entry for the price of 1 (dependent on the Trail being open).

The Lost Earth Adventures activities are also readily available. And there are many beautiful walks, of all ability levels, starting from Studfold. You’ll find an amazing Yorkshire Dales base at Studfold for exploring Nidderdale and North Yorkshire.

Lovely stay, good facilities, shame it was so windy

Hampshire, Kathryn - 24/09/2026

4

We had a lovely stay. Facilities were good and clean. Large pitches so we didn't feel in other people's tents/vans. Lovely cafe with great food and coffee. We had a great time on the fairy trail. We'd definitely return. The only thing that was a fly in the ointment our stay was the wind and that isn't anything anyone could do anything about.

Excellent pods for novice campers!

Rowland, Gemma - 24/09/2026

Lovely spacious pod for 2 people. Close to the shower block and other facilities. Great to be able to park close to the pod. Didn’t experience the cafe as we got there the day they closed for the season. Staff very friendly. Not initially clear (at least to me) where reception was on arrival. Pod was spotlessly clean. Slightly odd smell but I’m very sensitive and others found it fine. Would return for one night if in the area.

Short stay at Studfold

Ryalls, Liz - 23/09/2026

5

We had a lovely few days at Studfold campsite. The setting is lovely with great views and lovely walks. There is a pub in Lofthouse and another within walking distance at Middlesmoor plus a cafe at How Stean Gorge. We were there midweek so the campsite cafe was closed. All the campsite facilities were clean and the showers were a good size with plentiful hot water. Highly recommend

Annual stay at Studfold

Gleed, Eleanor - 17/09/2026

We've been returning to Studfold every September since 2019. At our first visit we were hooked by the Smite North of England championships. More about the site - small, well run and maintained site, excellent facilities, clean toilets and showers. Shop and cafe on site, and mini golf and adventure trail are a great addition for families. The location is beautiful - peaceful and very scenic at the top of Nidderdale. Excellent walking in the area and 2 pubs easily accessible on foot. We highly recommend Studfold Farm camping

Best Time Ever

Nommik, Simonne - 04/09/2026

We had the best weekend, really great place to stay, everyone was really respectful and followed the rules, which is great especially the curfew rules. The toilet block was kept nice, clean and tidy and the facilities were really nice. We really enjoyed the lake too, the children loved exploring down there.We would 100% return, we can't wait for our next visit.

Easy and clean

Leach, Charlotte - 04/09/2026

We stayed as a group of 4 families. All other pitches were respectful of the site rules and quiet times. The showers and toilets were always clean and well stocked with toilet roll. The shower cubicles had a wall separating the shower and dry area which is perfect! The pitches were HUGE (7,8,9,23) the pot washing area provided washing up liquid and sponges which was very handy. The staff were also always really friendly and its a great location for the gorge. Also easy to access by car and a pub in genuine walking distance . Great wifi/phone reception on EE, none on any other network. I bought the WiFi from reception and it worked perfectly in the field!

Fine

Harrison, Peter - 04/09/2026

Perfectly fine site in a pretty location, however, probably wouldn’t return given there is better value for money available. Trail was nice, but dated and shabby in places and an additional charge. Whilst camping is about being off grid, being in a location with zero signal and then charging campers £5 for 2gb for the internet feels a little like profiteering. Bathrooms basic but clean, push button showers.
