Camping in Knaresborough

Knaresborough is well placed for touring caravans, motorhomes and tents, with sites ranging from a small, well-kept club campsite two miles outside town to a larger holiday park with a swimming pool and golf course nearby. Most options sit just off the A1(M) corridor, making them easy to reach and a convenient base for exploring Knaresborough, Harrogate and York without needing to move on each night.

The closest option is the Caravan and Motorhome Club's site at Scotton, a compact, well-rated campsite around two miles from the town centre that takes tents as well as touring units. A little further out, Allerton Park Holiday Park offers a wooded, secluded setting just off the A1 with a broader mix of touring pitches, static caravans and lodges, while Rudding Holiday Park near Harrogate adds a heated outdoor pool, golf course and family pub to the mix for those wanting a fuller on-site holiday-park experience.

All three accept electric hookups and are dog-friendly, and each makes a workable base for day trips into Knaresborough, with the town's castle, riverside walks and market all within easy reach by car. Book ahead for peak summer weekends and the Bed Race period in June, when demand across the area rises sharply.
