Quiet family-run site, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park

About Street Head Caravan Park

For more than 50 years, the Cooper family have run this caravan park and campsite in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The park is quiet and ideal for couples and families looking for a relaxing and pleasant base after a busy day exploring the area. Bishopdale is a small valley connecting Wensleydale to Wharfedale by the B6160, primarily farmland with a few villages and farms along the way. Coverdale and Swaledale are also nearby. There are three main areas, a tent-only camping field, one touring field consisting of hardstanding and grass pitches and two fields for static caravan holiday homes. Every pitch has 10-Amp electric available. Expect a stunning view from every pitch, and a warm Yorkshire Dales welcome comes as standard. Mark and Melanie live in the cottage on the park, so they are always close by if you need anything. Responsible owners are very welcome to bring their pets.

The site is open from March, grass pitches are available from May. The site closes on 1st October.

VW-Type Campervan - Hardstanding Touring Pitches (Max 7m, With Awnings) Sep 2023

Well, what a gem we booked here. Lovely pitch allocated, electric hook up, ideal spot, flat and next to the shower block...Pitch 11. Spotless, shower block/toilets, lovely views of the Dales. Nice little pub 5 minutes walk through the campsite, lovely reasonably priced food with very large portions for sure. Would highly recommend for a couple of nights, thanks.

Excellent facilities in a beautiful location

FAQ

Yes, dogs are more than welcome with up to two allowed per pitch. Please note, dogs must be exercised off site and remain on the lead and not left unattended.

BBQs are campfires in fire pits are welcome. Heat from firepits, BBQ's and hot pans can burn and kill off the grass so please always place flags/blocks (provided) underneath your appliance or pans.

The site is aimed at families and couples so group bookings are not allowed, sorry.

Awnings are only allowed on the grass tent and touring pitches and the hardstanding pitches which mention allow awnings. Maximum awning size is 2.5m. Gazebos and pup tents are not allowed.


Whether you want to relax in the countryside, head out exploring or visit unusual and interesting attractions, the park and campsite is an ideal base.

If you like waterfalls then you've come to the right place. Aysgarth Falls and West Burton's Cauldron Falls are nearby and both can be enjoyed during a scenic 4 mile circular walk from the park. This walk also takes in all 6 pubs and 5 cafes as mentioned before.

Step back in history on a visit to Bolton Castle where Mary Queen of Scots once stayed while under house arrest. Rooms have been made up just as they would have been during her time there. You can run through the maze, try your hand at archery, watch a falconry display and enjoy feeding time for the wild boar before your own refreshments in the café (next to a huge real fire).

Not far from the Castle is Redmire Station, the most western station on the revived Wensleydale Railway which runs East through Leyburn and ends at Leeming Bar.

A traditional dales town with outdoor market on Tuesdays, you can't go to Hawes without visiting The Hawes Creamery, where real Wensleydale cheese is made. Other attractions in or near Hawes include Gayle Mill, The Dales Countryside Museum, The Ropemakers and Hardraw Force waterfall.

Friday is market day in Leyburn when the town comes alive. A central market place is surrounded by shops, boutiques, cafes and pubs. Heading out on the Bedale road you'll find The Teapottery and Inspired Chocolate on the small industrial estate, right next to Tennents Auction House and The Garden Rooms.

Every year Leyburn plays host to a 1940's Weekend (July) and The Wensleydale Agricultural Show (August Bank Holiday Saturday).

Middleham is mostly famous for its castle, once the home of Richard III, but equally so for it's racehorses that can be seen from early morning walking through the town on their way to or back from the gallops on Middleham Moor.

Carry on into Coverdale and to the Forbidden Corner, thought to be 'the weirdest place on earth', a labyrinth of tunnels, caves, mazes, secret paths and surprises at every turn, booking is essential.

Richmond is an amazing town steeped in history and so much to offer. A central market place (market days Wednesday and Saturday) with narrow cobbled streets filled with shops to delight any shopper. From the Friary Gardens to the magnificent Richmond Castle, The Georgian Theatre to the Green Howards Museum.

The Station houses 3 cinemas, an art gallery, a restaurant, delis, an ice cream parlour and more, follow the path along the river Swale where the railway line once ran to Easby Abbey and you won't be disappointed.
