Stretton House Campsite

40 units · Motorhomes, Tents6 acres · England
If you like the sound of having farm shops and ice cream farms nearby, as well as access to lots of walking and cycling trails, Stretton House Campsite should be a fine pick for you. It has a strict no noise policy after 10pm, meaning that you should get a peaceful night's sleep too. This site is in the grounds of the 400-year-old Stretton House surrounded by the Cheshire countryside with handy transport links nearby and outdoor activities in no short supply… that includes things like alpaca walking, golf or Manley Mere’s watersports haven (a 20-minute drive away for the latter). You’ll have your pick of two fields, both with car parking by the pitch free of charge and dogs allowed. There are basic facilities including a mobile freshwater toilet block with male and female facilities and a water standpipe. You’ll have permission to start up a barbecue or firepit too (subject to the correct safety measures). When you’re ready to get going, the friendly owners will be willing to help out however they can and suggest possible days out, which may include fishing or walking at Pickmere Lake (10 minutes’ drive), visiting an ice cream farm (within 10 minutes’ drive of the site) or going to the local golf course (five minutes’ drive). For food, there’s a farm shop just two minutes’ walk away from the site where you’ll be able to get your hands on local produce. Pubs aren’t far away either – there is one pub five minutes' walk away, and another 15 minutes' walk away. Festival goers are very welcome, and the Creamfields Festival site is five minutes’ drive away. Please respect the quiet hours (no noise is permitted after 10pm) and environment, as the owners' home is on the grounds (and stick to the field's facilities only).

Campsites near Ripon guide

Overview

One of the oldest cities in England, Ripon features gothic architecture and offers easy access to scads of national parks, forests, and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Discover Ripon’s glamping campsites that feature bell tents, hot tubs, and private decks, as well as caravan holiday parks offering full hookups and coastal views. Campers looking for more rugged options can easily find campsites with grassy pitches ideal for smaller tents too. Then, snuggle up at the campfire at night after spending the day exploring nearby attractions like the caves at Nidderdale AONB, the coastal vistas of North York Moors National Park, and the chalk cliffs at Flamborough Outer Headlands Nature Reserve.

Where to go

Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Rolling hills that cascade down into river-filled valleys create the gorgeous landscape of Nidderdale AONB. Hike to scenic views, caving sites, and fishing spots on dozens of trails for walking, cycling, and horseback riding. Campers can then cosy up into a one-person tent pitch, roll the campervan into a fully-equipped hardstanding pitch, or create a memorable experience by renting a wagon-style camping pod featuring a private deck with a firepit.

North York Moors National Park

It only takes 30 minutes to reach the outskirts of North York Moors National Park from Ripon. The park has a wealth of campsites to choose from, like holiday parks for caravans with full hookups, glamping campsites with bell tents and private hot tubs, or wooden camping pod rentals with firepits and picnic tables. Once settled, head to Staithes, a coastal town with a sandy beach, high cliffs, stunning vistas, and excellent chances of finding a dinosaur fossil!

Flamborough Outer Headlands Nature Reserve

Picturesque views from chalk cliffs that tower 100-feet high make Flamborough Outer Headlands Nature Reserve a must-see destination. The area is a prime spot for bird watching, as many migratory species travel there year-round. Campers can spend the night nearby in a pet-friendly holiday park, at a grass pitch for tents with an ocean view, or in a heated yurt with a hot tub and barbecue.

When to go

Campers tend to visit Ripon year-round, but most camping is done in June, July, and August, when the weather is warm and the days are long. Rain is common in September and October. Winter months promise relatively dry skies, and May brings plenty of wildflowers that pop up in Flamborough Outer Headlands Nature Reserve.
