A Yorkshire holiday brings you to arguably the most diverse place in the whole country. The largest in terms of geography, the county encompasses huge industrial heartlands, lovely market towns and household seaside resorts that are ideal for a Yorkshire caravan holiday. The likes of Scarborough have been welcoming tourists for decades, and they’re accompanied by underrated gems like Filey and Whitby, home to some incredible staples of the seaside.
Our Yorkshire holiday parks are close to some of the finest beaches in the UK. Blue Dolphin, Primrose Valley, Reighton Sands and Thornwick Bay welcome everyone with opens arms to make memories that will last a lifetime. Fancy bringing your dog? Check out our dog friendly holidays to Yorkshire.

Historic York is awash with history and culture. Walk the city walls, visit York Minster, and take a step back into Viking times at The Jorvik Centre. Equally enjoyable is a stroll along The Shambles to visit many a quirky shop and pub!
The infamous Yorkshire Moors are just a short drive from our parks. There are great family events held here regularly, or you can just put on your walking boots and explore their rugged beauty.
A little further afield, the walled city of York is just over an hour's drive away. It's got fantastic shopping and wonderful restaurants as well as a real sense of history. That's all on top of piles and piles of tourist attractions like York Minster, the JORVIK Viking Centre, and York Dungeon.
The Cleveland Way - a spectacular coastal walk - passes right by Blue Dolphin, and has miles of outstanding views.
Filey seafront has a bouncy castle, trampolines and mini fairground rides (it's really fun!), and for bigger versions you can go to Bridlington or Scarborough. Making sandcastles on the beach is a must!

My favourite coastal walk is from North Landing around to the lighthouse - the scenery is stunning. For those who fancy a longer walk, follow on past the lighthouse and head to South Landing and the RNLI station.
Playdale Farm Park is located 10 minutes away and is a great day for the family including animals, rides, and play areas. Candy Kingdom and Secret Realm are great indoor play areas too.

Filey is one of Yorkshire’s finest seaside towns. It’s yours to discover when you stay with us at Blue Dolphin, Primrose Valley or Reighton Sands holiday parks.
