About Venus Campsite
Tucked into peaceful North Yorkshire countryside near Baldersby, Venus Campsite is an adults-only retreat that keeps things refreshingly simple. The nineteen pitches – a mix of electric grass, non-electric, and fully-serviced options with drainage and water hook-ups – are generous and level, set on well-kept grass that makes pitching straightforward. Facilities punch above their weight: hot showers, spotless loos, and handy extras like communal fridges and freezer space earn consistent praise.
The owners strike that ideal balance of friendliness without fuss, and the farm setting adds gentle rural character. Dogs are welcome year-round, with walks nearby. It's well-placed for exploring Ripon's cathedral city charm and the broader Dales, though on-site entertainment amounts to tranquillity itself – which for many will be exactly the point.

We have just had a lovely long weekend at venus campsite. It is beautifully well kept excellent hard standing pitch fully serviced and the grass pitches are well kept. The toilets and showers are very clean and one of the owners came over to make sure we was ok and if we had any questions. Lovely experience and adults only site makes it a lovely quite weekend away with it being located so close to some lovely parts of the country with harrogate not far and ripon also the dales. We will definitely go back.

Had a great 4 night break here at Venus. Massive pitches, lovely and quiet. Basic but clean toilets and showers. Even over a busy bank holiday didn’t have any queues. Most sites would have pitches half the size and double the number of units but it’s so nice not being crammed in and feeling like you have some privacy. Excellent value for money. The only downsides are the village shop has closed down and no local pub but that’s not the end of the world. Also nice walk with dog in the local fields. Turn right out the campsite the first small road to the right after the owners house. Down a single track road takes you close the the main road but it’s all securely fenced. Does a loop round into the village then back to the Site and it’s signposted.
