About Castle Howard Lakeside Holiday Park

The park is in a beautiful rural location, bordering a lake and very close to the pretty village of Coneysthorpe, within the Howardian Hills AONB. It's a 20 minute walk from the Howard family's ancestral home itself with its tasty cafés and estate shops. It's also perfect for waterside walks, strolls with Fido (who has his own exercise space) and cooking up a tasty BBQ at your pitch. Fire pits are permitted. Families and groups are welcome and there are grass pitches both with and without electric, plus a good number of hardstanding pitches with electric to suit tourers. Guests can relax, explore and enjoy time in the expansive estate grounds.

Grass pitches are available from March to October. Hardstanding pitches are available from March to the end of year.

A note from the site themselves...

We are proud of our location, offering some of the best views of Castle Howard from our side of the lake. Our guests love the nature that surrounds us, birdwatching opportunities, and the dark skies that are perfect for stargazing.

They also love our locality and by staying with us we can provide them with a discount for visiting the gardens at Castle Howard - which we must say is well worth a visit!

Twin Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Touring PitchesNov 2024

Beautiful surroundings, the site was small and comfortable. I found the pitches on the side were quite small compared to other sites we have stayed at. You had to park your car in front of you caravan, so when another guest arrived and was staying on a pitch a bit further along, it was quite tight. Lovely setting and very quiet, would recommend to others if they wanted somewhere peaceful.

Great site
