Rudding Holiday Park Reviews

A lovely site worth staying in during summer

We booked to stay here for 2 nights over the Christmas break and only stayed 1 night, mainly due to the weather, but had the facilities been better, we might have stayed. The service from the reception and grounds person was brilliant. They were very polite and helpful and the groundsman actually took us to our pitch. The grounds were lovely, especially across towards the Rudding Park Hotel where we sat outside for a coffee. The bar and restaurant and shop were all closed and not due to open. There are no paths on the main road outside of the park, so difficult to get about outside of the park if you're walking with dogs or children. We felt that there wasn't much of an atmosphere, which I feel you can't blame on the Christmas time, as a site we'd stayed at for 4 nights previously over the Christmas days had a real community feel to it. I wonder if the size of the park is the reason? I'm sure this place is better in the spring summer months as there are a lot of tourers pitched, but were mainly empty.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review, Jo. We are very lucky to be situated in such beautiful surroundings and you are right, they look even more beautiful in the Spring and Summer. We are delighted that you chose to stay at Rudding Holiday Park and you found our team to be polite and helpful. Feedback such as yours provides a great source of motivation to the team. We are sorry, however, that we did not quite get everything right for you, for which we apologise. We were very quiet over the Christmas period, the very poor weather definitely contributed to this, but also traditionally over Christmas we have less guests staying. We have kept the pub open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays throughout the winter months but during the week, we have not had the numbers on site to be able to be open. Once again thank you for your comments and we hope to welcome you back in the future. With kindest regards, The Rudding Holiday Park Team.

A pleasant stay

A very pleasant site, even in the mixed weather of November. We booked this as a last minute choice. A wooded site with an interesting dog walk/pathway around the perimeter. This could do with some signage, but enjoyable with a number of bins and dog bag dispensers. Such a good idea. The warden was really helpful in towing us off our original boggy grass pitch and finding us a more suitable site for our motorhome. So nice to know there is someone available, covering all 24 hours. So reassuring too. The onsite pub is relaxed and dog friendly. Food is served too. The toilet/ shower blocks are dotted around the site. They are bright and smell fresh, being pleasant to use. Altogether making for an enjoyable stay.

Lovely, well-kept site

Lovely site, nice clubhouse and swimming pool. Nothing is too much trouble. Can't wait to return.

Good enough!

Very muddy. There were less boggy pitches but we were allocated a pitch without consideration of the conditions. As a base, it was fine. We enjoyed ourselves. The young people on site seemed to be enjoying themselves which is great. The area is very beautiful. We would recommend a visit to Knaresborough, stunning 😍

Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review, Teresa. We are certainly very lucky to be based in such beautiful surroundings and agree Knaresborough is well worth a visit! We are sorry however to read we did not quite get everything right. Every morning our wardens inspect the pitches and feedback to the office the best ones to use. Your pitch 48 was selected due to it being higher and the water can run away easier. We are always happy to accommodate pitch moves where possible. Once again thank you for your comments and we hope we can welcome you back to Rudding Park in the future, maybe in drier weather next time! The Rudding Holiday Park Team

Autumn stop over

Great family park with pool and pub.

Lovely campsite and friendly staff

Lovely park staff very friendly facilities spotless and a bar onsite!!!! Would recommend to family and friends

Nice site

Lovely campsite, very helpful staff, got stuck in the soggy grass and had to be towed out so wouldn't recommend the site in heavy rain. Disappointed in only one local bus on a Saturday into Harrogate but no criticism and fault of site.
