Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Touring PitchesAug 2025

A great site for a short, and close to home, break. 'Twas busy busy (it was a bank holiday weekend) which just emphasised its popularity. Lovely to chat with John, site owner, and good luck for the coming 12 months.

Site's response

Yes bank holidays are busy. The quietest times to visit are during the week and even during the summer school holidays!

A note from the site themselves...

Previously a pig and sheep farm, the land use was changed from agricultural to tourism and a different challenge was begun. A broadleafed woodland was planted in the sloping parcels of land, For more than 20 years we have watched it grow and establish and you are welcome to walk around it.

Having previously experienced caravan life with a young family and motorhome excursions as a couple, we used personal knowledge and experience to enhance Dale Hey Touring Park.

We are able to help you from a personal point of view, for example, many people new to caravanning need advice on setting up the aqua roll. Personal interests in gardening allows us to spend time maintaining the flora and extensive grassland.

We made the conscious decision to keep the WiFi away and encourage time to be spent as a family or couple talking to each other. We hope you like the site which we have created.
