About the site


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 lovely quiet site close to Castle Howard, perfect for an Alice in Wonderland tour followed by a cream tea in the courtyard cafe. Site is next to the lake with a lovely view of the house. Would definitely visit again as all the staff were very helpful.

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.
