For 50 years, St Helens in the Park has been welcoming visitors to North Yorkshire, becoming a long-standing part of the area’s rural tourism landscape.
The milestone was celebrated with a special anniversary evening hosted by The Dawnay Estates, bringing together family, friends and supporters to reflect on the people and progress that have shaped the park over five decades.
The anniversary comes alongside another significant achievement, with St Helens in the Park named The AA’s National Campsite of the Year 2025/26. The award recognises the quality of the experience the park continues to provide for its guests.
By attracting visitors to North Yorkshire year after year, St Helens in the Park also helps support the wider rural visitor economy and the businesses and communities that benefit from tourism.

This is part of the #ParksMakePlaces campaign, celebrating how holiday parks support people, places and the planet.
