We are a family run park of 3 generations (14 year old Max and 12 year old twins Toby and Freya are often about getting stuck in serving in the shop or emptying bins!) Naomi's parents, Philip and Hazel turned what was once a derelict mill site into a beautiful caravan park. Although Philip sadly passed away in February 2021, the love and care he put into the park in creating a beautiful ecological environment can still be enjoyed today.

Since opening in 1986 they have seen a wide range of tourism from fans of the BBC series Last of the Summer Wine (which was filmed several times on the park) to campers who just want to enjoy the outdoors and the great walking which the Holme Valley has to offer.

After 12 years of teaching in Nottinghamshire, daughter Naomi and husband Ben with their 3 children decided to move back to Holmfirth from Derbyshire and join the family business... and good timing too! Expansion was underway (follow us on social media for regular updates) and the new luxurious toilet and shower block with family bathrooms opened in April 2014.

As part of the Départ de Yorkshire, we saw the Tour de France race past the park entrance on in July 2014 - certainly the busiest weekend the park has ever seen and it was a fantastic atmosphere! Why not rise to the challenge and race the official route yourself?!

Since taking over the running over the park, Ben and Naomi have introduced glamping accommodation, a smooth and wider lane leading to the park, a new playarea, The Camping Stove takeaway food cabin, a cosy BBQ Hut, a complete upgrade of our original toilets and showers, Crazi-Bugz off-roading for kids and Adventure Golf! We also like to welcome our local neighbours - you don't have to stay on the park to enjoy lots of our facilities. We also host Down To Earth Children's Parties for those who want to celebrate in (outdoor) style! What plans have we got for the future..? More glamping options and...Cinema in a Suitcase - enjoying your favourite films in the Great Outdoors!

We aim to keep the running of the park as green as possible. Camping should be an ecologically sound way of holidaying, and guests, having chosen to holiday in the outdoors, should be able to enjoy the wildlife we are lucky to have on and about the park, from the badgers, squirrels and owls in the woods to the ducks on the small lake and herons, dippers and kingfishers on the river.

We are grateful for the support we have had from our guests which helped us secure our consecutive David Bellamy Gold Awards. Further to this, in October 2014, we were awarded the David Bellamy Special Distinction Award for Hazlewood toilet and shower block. As Philip said back in 2014, 'We can now flush with pride!' In 2016, we were also short listed for a White Rose Award for Best Yorkshire Holiday Park. A key theme in the awards has been the development of new 'green facilities' and particularly innovative projects that embody the latest thinking in renewable energy.

Please note although the camping fields have never flooded the safety of our customers is paramount. The Bottom field and New field do have a very small possibility of flooding and we ask that you check our flood risk signs for advanced warning of any flooding. We have a detailed evacuation plan should it be needed although most of the time the river Holme is just great to paddle in!
