About the site

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 a 10 amp electric hook up. 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.

Street Head Caravan Park is open from 01/03 to 31/10. Pitches from £22/night for 2 people.

Just lovely

Small Tent - Small Grass Tent Pitches (Optional Electric)Sep 2025

A very well looked after and clean site. The amenities were practical and absolutely spotless. It was unusual for a site to have no specific recycling system in place for rubbish, however, it was clearly explained that this is down to the council that receives everything in one bin and then sorts out the recycling themselves at the depot, so that's okay. I was a little concerned that being next to a road may be noisy in a morning, but it really wasn't. A fabulous site, well groomed and very friendly. Great, hot, free showers and even a free hairdryer. The owners were very welcoming and we even saw a red squirrel bounce along the wall at the bottom of the campsite. What a joy!!

Beautiful and peaceful

Things to do on site and in the Leyburn area

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.
