Stopover recommendations

[Hillclimber]

Now that the Alphard is running, a family visit is in the offing, so looking for recommendations for a suitable campsite/stopover near Ripon for this coming Saturday night. Reasonable fcailities would be great in case things don't work as expected!

Hi, you could try Sleningford Watermill caravan and camping park at Ripon. They have electric and non electric pitches. It's  the only one in the area I've stopped at so can't really recommend any others in the area.

Hi there!

Have you heard of the "searchforsites" app?

Our friends use it, and recommended it to us when we borrowed their motorhome to tour the Highlands in 2023, then Europe in 2024. 

Seems great to us, you can tailor the results for what facilities you want on a site, or don't!

To get full function it is a paid for app, but it's only £7.99 for the year.

Hi Bignev, yes I tried it as well as park4night, campinguk and all the camp related club sites. Just surprised as how busy that area is this weekend.

Another one that is full this weekend. Realising now that we won't be camping this weekend. Duh!

The only one I am aware of is a family christening. I know the parents have a very large social circle, but didn't think it would be this big!
