Yorkshire Dales Holiday Park Named Among the UK’s Outstanding Sites

Riverside Caravan Park in the Yorkshire Dales has been recognised as one of the UK’s best-loved holiday destinations after being named on the prestigious Outstanding Sites list published annually by Campsites.co.uk.
The family-run park near the market town of Bentham secured its place on the coveted list thanks to consistently outstanding reviews from camping, touring and glamping guests.
National Recognition for Guest Satisfaction
The Outstanding Sites list celebrates top camping, touring and glamping destinations across the UK that have consistently received first-class reviews from visitors.
Situated on the banks of the picturesque River Wenning, Riverside Caravan Park has welcomed holidaymakers for almost 60 years after being founded by the Marshall family as a simple camping site.
Today the Yorkshire Dales holiday park offers luxury holiday caravans and holiday lodges to rent and buy, top-end glamping accommodation, and spacious pitches for motorhomes, touring caravans and tents.
Reviews on the Campsites.co.uk website praise Riverside’s “immaculate surroundings”, “tranquil character” and “superb and well-kept guest facilities”.

Family-run Yorkshire Dales Holiday Park Celebrates Award
Thomas Marshall, who runs the park alongside his wife Jane, daughter Isabel and son John, said the family was delighted to receive the recognition.
“This award is especially important to us because it is based on the reviews of people who have stayed at Riverside and clearly enjoyed their experiences,” said Thomas.
“Families and couples are not judging us just on our quality standards, but also for the welcoming atmosphere and friendly service which they receive.
“Delivering this is very much in the hands of our park team, so they must take a big share of the credit for our place on the Outstanding Sites list.
“We would like to extend a big thank-you to everyone who contributed to these great reviews and helped us achieve this fantastic outcome,” added Thomas.
