About Sleningford Watermill Caravan and Camping Park
Sleningford Watermill Caravan and Camping Park sits just outside Ripon, where the River Ure meanders through North Yorkshire farmland. Reviewers consistently praise the flat, spacious pitches—many right by the water with lovely river views—and the spotless facilities, from immaculate showers to well-kept washing areas. The friendly owners are often on hand to help with any hitches, adding a welcoming touch to what might otherwise be a standard touring site.
You'll find a good spread of pitch types: grass options with or without electric hook-up, plus premium hardstanding spots along the riverside, in the mill courtyard, or overlooking the water. Dogs are welcome, families feel at home here, and there's no Wi-Fi to tempt you away from the scenery. It's a solid, well-run base for exploring the Yorkshire Dales, Fountains Abbey, and historic Ripon itself.

What visitors say
Not much nearby but as a result soooooooo peaceful. Nice site. Good facilities (no motorhome service point so grey water a bit of a faff). Toilets clean and fresh. Small shop. Laundry. 2 pubs within a mile. Riverside location with fly fishing. Nice.

An absolutely awesome campsite, in a great location by the river. Lots of great flat pitches, that are a decent size, with electrical hook up. The facilities are lovely and clean, and the staff really friendly. We stayed in the midst of Storm Dave, and when someone lost their tent the staff were on hand to help out. It's very quiet after 10pm, and it's in a dark skies location so it suited us to do some star gazing. Although, due to the storm we didn't get much done. But we had a great stay all the same, and we are hoping to be back at some point.

Stayed at Slenningford Mill for a night as part of a longer road trip. What a lovely campsite, superb Riverside location and in easy walking distance of the local village pubs. We will be sure to come back and stay for longer.
