Certificated caravan site in Ripon with canal-side pitches and showers, quiet and close to town.
About Lockside Caravan Park (Certificated Site)
Lockside Caravan Park is a certificated caravan site on the Ripon Canal, a short walk from Ripon town centre. The pitches are well-maintained and the facilities—showers and toilets—are clean and basic. The canal-side setting creates a quiet atmosphere without feeling remote, since the town is easily reachable on foot.
The site suits touring caravanners passing through North Yorkshire and couples or small families looking for a low-key base within walking distance of shops, pubs and restaurants. Staff are welcoming, and the straightforward setup means you're free to explore rather than spend time on amenities.

Had a fabulous two days camping at Lockside recently. The site is really peaceful and in a splendid location. Everything where is kept clean and tidy and the atmosphere is calm and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

A small, easy-going campsite - great price per pitch. EHU on meter & seems quite expensive, toilet & shower a bit of a let down; but great easy walk into Ripon Cathedral & city centre and also along the canal towpath. We'll definitely return.
