Rudding Holiday Park Reviews

Fab stay

As a group of 3 mums with tots, the site was perfect. Kids loved the outdoor pool and play park. The pub served good food and there's plenty of space for the kids to ride around on their bikes. Staff were all friendly and helpful too.

Gorgeous Site

Stayed for one night as sadly we couldn’t get in for 2 but what a wonderful site this is. The bar is lovely, staff so friendly especially Bruce who we met at check in, so helpful and informative. Great location for Harrogate, we got the bus from literally outside and back again. Showers were clean and spotless and we managed to do late check out too so we could visit the local area. Will definitely recommend and return if visiting that area again

Excellent

Excellent facilities, very clean, well organised.

Absolutely fantastic

We had a lovely few days away here. Fantastic facilities, lovely food and service from the deer house. Staff very helpful across the whole site.

August short break

Really enjoyed this. I know Rudding Park well and the usual high standards, but have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. Great facilities and extremely helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Great stay - family friendly

Brilliant two days on a lovely, clean, well managed site. Dog friendly, which helped. Lovely daily walk on pathway on perimeter of the site. Dan, the young man on reception, was really welcoming and showed us to our pitch with a guided tour of the site. Really helpful staff. Only slight downside was the cost of the pool, £18 for three of us can add up on a daily basis. Facilities clean and shop site café /shop and bar, all great. Added bonus was the use of the golf range. Would definitely recommend and hope to return to site soon.

Lovely site

Excellent site. We had 5 days here with the grandchildren and didn't leave the site as there was plenty for them to do.

Touring caravan couple in our 60s

Wouldn't stay again. We are a couple in our early 60s. We were put right among family pitches.

Just wow!

Firstly, the reception staff were very polite and helpful during check-in. We were lucky enough to be really close to all the amenities. As a couple in a motorhome, we didn't make use of the heated outdoor swimming pool, we left that to other families and their children! We walked into Harrogate, which is quite a trek (approx 4 miles), but well worth it. However, the site, cleanliness and picturesque scenery blew us away. We'll definitely be back.

Lovely site

What a great find. We stayed for two nights. The park is beautifully kept and the staff are incredibly helpful and pleasant. Great facilities, great food and beer - we will definitely return.

Nice location for touring etc

Nice location, very quiet. We will be back again.

Great park

Great staff on arrival. Very friendly park staff and the pub staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Excellent site

Excellent facilities. Bus stop on door step to Harrogate. Great WiFi. Pub on site, very handy!

Just brilliant!

Superb facilities. So clean, most beautiful rural setting yet close to town. Children's playground lovely, swimming for kids was only £6 and the pool was lovely, well worth it. Lots of lovely walks and runs from the site. Shop was well stocked and all the staff very helpful and friendly.

Lovely campsite

Just got back from Rudding Holiday Park Campsite after a fantastic bank hol weekend. Great facilities, kids were never bored with a great park, big field for activities and a swimming pool. Lovely restaurant and bar and the staff were very friendly. The toilets were always spotless. Only downside was having to pay for the swimming pool. Would recommend.

Good site!

Very good park that's close to Stockeld Park. The pitch was concrete hardstanding but did get very muddy as the weather wasn't the greatest. Kids play park was good but again, very boggy due to the weather conditions. On-site pub serves food, which was very nice. The on-site pool was a hit with the grandkids, it would have been nice for that to be included in the pitch fees as they were quite expensive I thought, but it's an extra charge of £6 pp for an hour and 15 min session, which wasn't really controlled properly. There are sun loungers and tables, so you can supervise your kids while still able to enjoy a drink from the pub, or you can sit in the pub area to view through a screen. We booked the kids in twice and they enjoyed it. Think the pool would be really busy in the summer though. There is also a golf course right next door with a driving range that you can book separately. The site itself is clean, the toilet block was nice and the staff friendly. It is also dog friendly. All in all, we had a lovely weekend and would definitely return in the future.

First visit to this site and fairly new to caravanning

Lovely site, great staff. As I have a disabled 12 year old son, there were no changing facilities at the pool, only male or female. After swimming, having to get my son changed outside (female changing room was full) in March is just not expected in this day and age. 90% of this site is beautiful but some seasonal pitches were poorly maintained, and as a 5 * site, you would think standards had to be kept, and this would put me off enquiring about a seasonal pitch, which is a shame as the site has a lot to offer.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us Debra. We're delighted to hear that you found our site lovely and our staff great; however, we're truly sorry to learn about the challenges you faced during your visit. Ensuring accessibility and comfort for all our guests, regardless of their needs, is a top priority for us. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the lack of suitable changing facilities for your son. We do not have space in abundance at the swimming pool changing facilities but we will certainly look in to this. Regarding the maintenance of seasonal pitches, we appreciate your honesty in highlighting this issue. The upkeep of caravans and awnings is the responsibility of the pitch holders, however we do issue reminders of the park rules and the requirements to keep caravans and awnings in a clean and presentable condition. On the whole, the pitches look great, there is just an odd one here and there in need of some attention. Please do not let this deter you from enquiring about a seasonal pitch. We value your feedback immensely as it helps us identify areas for improvement and strive for excellence. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback, Debra, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon. Kindest regards, The Rudding Holiday Park Team.

Motorhome visit

Good site with good facilities. Nice pub on site with good opening hours. About £10 for a taxi into Harrogate. Lots of things we didn't explore because we were only there for 2 nights. Beautiful location, lots of red kites about. Slightly surprised to see some of the permanent pitches in a bit of a poor state, but would definitely stay again. Dog friendly, even though we didn't take ours.

First outing this year

This was our first time at this place. It was very nice, a bit wet but a good site.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review, Mike. We are delighted to read you had a nice stay with us. We have been very unfortunate with all the wet weather we have experienced so far this year! We are certainly hoping it dries up soon! Thank you once again for your feedback, we are very much looking forward to welcoming you back, hopefully next time in sunnier weather. Kindest regards, The Rudding Holiday Park Team.

Our stay

Friendly and nice place to stay. Would definitely come back.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review Darren. We are delighted to read you found our Holiday Park to be a friendly and nice place to stay. Of course, we would never tire of receiving feedback like yours, neither do we expect it. However, it is such a constant source of motivation, so a huge thank you for leaving your review. We are already looking forward to welcoming you back. With kindest regards, The Rudding Holiday Park Team.

A lovely site worth staying in during summer

We booked to stay here for 2 nights over the Christmas break and only stayed 1 night, mainly due to the weather, but had the facilities been better, we might have stayed. The service from the reception and grounds person was brilliant. They were very polite and helpful and the groundsman actually took us to our pitch. The grounds were lovely, especially across towards the Rudding Park Hotel where we sat outside for a coffee. The bar and restaurant and shop were all closed and not due to open. There are no paths on the main road outside of the park, so difficult to get about outside of the park if you're walking with dogs or children. We felt that there wasn't much of an atmosphere, which I feel you can't blame on the Christmas time, as a site we'd stayed at for 4 nights previously over the Christmas days had a real community feel to it. I wonder if the size of the park is the reason? I'm sure this place is better in the spring summer months as there are a lot of tourers pitched, but were mainly empty.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review, Jo. We are very lucky to be situated in such beautiful surroundings and you are right, they look even more beautiful in the Spring and Summer. We are delighted that you chose to stay at Rudding Holiday Park and you found our team to be polite and helpful. Feedback such as yours provides a great source of motivation to the team. We are sorry, however, that we did not quite get everything right for you, for which we apologise. We were very quiet over the Christmas period, the very poor weather definitely contributed to this, but also traditionally over Christmas we have less guests staying. We have kept the pub open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays throughout the winter months but during the week, we have not had the numbers on site to be able to be open. Once again thank you for your comments and we hope to welcome you back in the future. With kindest regards, The Rudding Holiday Park Team.

A pleasant stay

A very pleasant site, even in the mixed weather of November. We booked this as a last minute choice. A wooded site with an interesting dog walk/pathway around the perimeter. This could do with some signage, but enjoyable with a number of bins and dog bag dispensers. Such a good idea. The warden was really helpful in towing us off our original boggy grass pitch and finding us a more suitable site for our motorhome. So nice to know there is someone available, covering all 24 hours. So reassuring too. The onsite pub is relaxed and dog friendly. Food is served too. The toilet/ shower blocks are dotted around the site. They are bright and smell fresh, being pleasant to use. Altogether making for an enjoyable stay.

Lovely, well-kept site

Lovely site, nice clubhouse and swimming pool. Nothing is too much trouble. Can't wait to return.

Good enough!

Very muddy. There were less boggy pitches but we were allocated a pitch without consideration of the conditions. As a base, it was fine. We enjoyed ourselves. The young people on site seemed to be enjoying themselves which is great. The area is very beautiful. We would recommend a visit to Knaresborough, stunning 😍

Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review, Teresa. We are certainly very lucky to be based in such beautiful surroundings and agree Knaresborough is well worth a visit! We are sorry however to read we did not quite get everything right. Every morning our wardens inspect the pitches and feedback to the office the best ones to use. Your pitch 48 was selected due to it being higher and the water can run away easier. We are always happy to accommodate pitch moves where possible. Once again thank you for your comments and we hope we can welcome you back to Rudding Park in the future, maybe in drier weather next time! The Rudding Holiday Park Team
