Harrogate campsites

The Betty's tearoom story started in Harrogate nearly 100 years ago. Much has changed since 1919 but at least two things remain the same, the treats are just as delicious and the welcome is just as warm. A beautiful setting is good for the soul and the teas here are world renowned, so what are you waiting for...

Harrogate's luxurious The Turkish Baths and Health Spa are the perfect place to relax. Enjoy hot saunas, a spa pool and even a rejuvenating, toning plunge pool surrounded by truly breath-taking Victorian architecture, helping you to detoxify and re-energise.

Harrogate packs a punch when it comes to delivering truly stunning gardens. The 17-acre English Heritage Gade II listed RHS Garden Harlow Carr is one of Yorkshire's most relaxing and innovative gardens at the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales.

The grass is always greener at The Valley Garden, Harrogate. Wander through the carefully designed pathways and admire the beautiful flower beds scattered across the gardens. You’ll also find acres of pinewood forest waiting to be explored right beside the gardens, so if you’re on the lookout for an adventurous trail, or a leisurely stroll than these gardens have you covered.

Next up is The Royal Pump Room Museum, a small but full family friendly museum where you can discover Harrogate's spa history through fascinating displays. You can find out all about this charming and quirky spa town and visit the strongest sulphur well in Europe ...ick! Plus, you can get stuck in investigating Egypt through their Ancient Egyptian treasures, try on Egyptian clothes (worth taking a camera just for that bit!), write in hieroglyphs and dress up as a super scientist and do some testing of your own.

Looking for ultimate outdoor adventure? Look no further than Log Heights at Ripley Castle! Regardless of age or fitness level, the ropes course activities are designed to challenge the whole family. Suitable for children and adults, you could be jumping into the sky to catch a trapeze, climbing a giant ladder, riding a zip wire or problem solving closer to the ground the next.

Ripley Castle, built in 1345, is full of armour, priests hiding holes and lots of great historical things to look at. There are also beautiful gardens and a deer park which the smalls will love and a large tropical plant collection to saunter through.

Perhaps you want a unique interactive fun activity, based on a family working farm, Then Nidderdale Llamas has you covered. Offering llama trekking & llama/alpaca experiences in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. Fantastic fun with amazing friendly animals, a range of options to choose from all including close contact with llamas, alpacas and some other animals.

Back on terra firma, Brimham Rocks hosts an amazing collection of weird and wonderful rock formations: a great day out for families, climbers and those who love the outdoors.

Come walking to the heart of Yorkshire and experience the scenery and welcome that makes this one of the best destinations for walkers in the country.

With the best of both worlds we have the hills of the Yorkshire Dales and the plains of the Vale of York to enjoy, there really is a terrain and a walk for everyone.

Gentle woodland ambles a plenty can be enjoyed along the constantly changing River Nidd as it passes Pateley Bridge varying between fast, shallow sections babbling round small islands and slow deep sections of smooth calm waters. 

Wonderful nearby attractions will entice sightseers to extend their explorations, such as the market town of Knaresborough which is home to Knaresborough Castle, as well as Allerton Castle in the village of Allerton Mauleverer and the Nidderdale Museum in Pateley Bridge. The bustling city of Leeds and the beautiful historic walled city of York are also well situated for day trips from Harrogate.
