Touring Park Facilities

A holiday at Studfold really is the complete Nidderdale Experience. Our location in the Yorkshire Dales and range of facilities right here on the site mean that you never need to venture further.

If you’re here for a few days, relaxing on the site and taking in the views, with an adventure and picnic on the Fairy and Adventure Trail will keep the whole family happy, then in the evening you can walk up the road to the local pub for a meal and perhaps have a game of cricket or football on the field while the sun goes down.   

Once here, you will find such a varied list of things to do, from stunning walks to Lost Earth Adventures, to so many nearby attractions. Studfold truly is an all-round holiday experience to remember. And of course, you are perfectly situated for simply relaxing in the serenity of the countryside, which we fully recommend!

Pitches

We have 38 flat, well drained, grass pitches, most of which are approximately 14m x 10m in size. All of the pitches in the first field, and eight of the pitches in the second field, have access to electric hook up. 

Studfold camping shelter

Playing field

Our wide open, flat field area is perfect for children to play ball games and run around in. We also have access to the beck that runs by next to the site, which children love to splash about and build dams in. But please note that young children will need adult supervision here.

Camping shelter

The camping shelter is a much-loved addition to our facilities. It is an undercover, lit area where you can gather to eat, drink and socialise when the weather isn’t behaving, complete with barbeque and pizza oven. You will need your own fuel here and we just ask that guests leave the shelter as they found it, and please vacate by 10.30pm.

Toilet and shower block

Studfold facilities

We keep our toilet and shower block sparkling clean; it has been thoughtfully planned out and built with dry changing and private wash area for each shower, two baby change areas and disabled facilities. The washing-up area is covered and has separate grey water and Elsan disposal points. Cloths, washing-up liquid and liquid soap are all provided, and you don’t need any tokens as all these are included in your pitch fees.

Shop

We have a small shop onsite at Reception that sells basic provisions, soft drinks, sweets, ice-cream, small toys and gifts. Milk is available if ordered from Reception the previous day.

There are many shops in the local town of Pateley Bridge, which is a 14 mile return journey, and supermarkets in Ripon and Harrogate.

Adventure and Fairy Trail

Studfold really does have magic hidden in its woods. Imagine holidaying in amongst the fairy folk and learning all their secrets! Our fun and mysterious Adventure and Fairy Trail is for the young and young at heart, with surprises and so much to see and enjoy, especially when lots more fairies come to stay for the special Studfold Fairy and Pixie Adventure event! Please book the Adventure and Fairy Trail in advance by clicking on the 'Book Trail' button at the top of this page.

Walks

There are many lovely, circular walks that start from and return to Studfold, situated right on the Nidderdale Way. Talk to us at Reception and we’ll point you in the right direction. Whether you’d like a few miles for your family with young children, or are up for a more serious ten miles-plus, Studfold is a great base for walkers of all abilities.

Connectivity

As you might expect in hilly country, reception can be poor. There is only partial EE mobile reception and no aerial-based TV reception at Studfold. WiFi is available via vouchers, which you can purchase from Reception. This may enable WiFi calling if your mobile phone has this facility. TV reception is only available via a satellite connection.

Laundry

A laundry area, with washer, deep sink and ironing board is available in the touring park. An industrial dryer is available in the static caravan park.

Dogs

Dogs are always welcome at Studfold but need to be kept on their leads at all times in all areas of the caravan, camping and glamping park, static park and Adventure Trail, and walked off site, with all mess picked up and disposed of, including when on the footpaths through farmers’ fields.

Waste

The recycling bin is for glass, plastic and tins only. Please put cardboard and all other waste in the general use bins. We ask that barbeque coal waste is disposed of in the small metal bins we provide.

Midges

At certain times of the year, and in certain weather conditions, there can be midges at Studfold. We recommend that all guests bring repellent, just in case.
