 To be honest I don't do many reviews as most sites we go on with the motor home are average to good and there is never much to say about them. The caravan club site standards are super, but little or nothing in regard to facilities like pubs, restaurants, etc. And the private ones are mostly of a lesser standard, but have other facilities like child playgrounds, pools, pubs etc. You pays your money and you take you chances. However in regard to Rudding this is is a bit of a mishmash and had I paid normal rates the I would have accepted this but at £31 per night I must put finger to iPad.
They have friendly staff at Rudding and smashing pub and Hotel + a golf course but they had dirty toilets, cold showers , uneven grass pitches which were boggy and we needed towed off.
Admittedly the toilets were dirty because lazy people left I them like that but the mop and bucket left to use were black with grime and no loo rolls in 50% of the male stalls. There is a sign in the pot wash area saying WATCH OUT THE WATER IS VERY HOT. Not! So a confusing write up but overall they are charging too much at Rudding and we will not be back. Shame.

Stayed here Tuesday to Friday at midweek prices for a serviced pitch with electric, fresh water, waste water and elsan waste disposal. Lovely to have everything on the large hardstanding pitch surrounded by bushes. Plenty of room to sit out, pitch included a picnic bench and grassed area. Although pitch seemed plenty big enough for a Motorhome, someone had managed to churn up the grass area.
Site is huge with lots of seasonal tourers, statics and lodges. It is in the grounds of a Hotel, which has all the facilities you would expect, plus a large golf course and golf academy. Grounds even boast a small church, making this a perfect wedding venue. Views from the site are second to none, absolutely stunning. There is a pub, swimming pool and shop on site too, but with limited opening due to our visit being late in the season. These and children's play area looked excellent.
There are two toilet blocks with plentiful showers and hot water. There was even a large bath in the ladies and gents much to my husband's delight. Dog walk on site, plus can walk around site and through woods etc, plenty for our furry friends. Bus stops at park entrance to Harrogate, Wetherby and Leeds. My only complaint would be the excessive charge for dogs, at £3. 25 per day I think that is too expensive, as our dog would not use the showers, pub, playground or swimming pool himself, so what do we pay for. Otherwise, lovely site, would recommend it and will return.

To be honest I am not a caravan fan. I don't own one myself. Hate being stuck behind them etc.
However . I can honestly say that Rudding holiday park and its fantastic facilities has made me somewhat jealous of the sort of holiday that is available to all you tow fans !
I am used to hotels, luxury and to an extent I am probably rather fussy about where I stay.
Having now stayed within the manicured grounds of Rudding with the great views, the golf course back drop, nice pub ( with a POOL !), play area, pet friendly, good shop, hotel, great staff, security and cleanliness makes it the ideal location.
So, if you can get a space. Treat yourselves.
I stayed there for three nights in October. It was even nice in the rain.

A very well run campsite. The disabled facilities are good and very clean. Unfortunately this visit was off season and the pub is only open on restricted dates, but when it is open it is very nice and friendly. As a return visitor (the best recommendation you can get)i have used these facilities in the past.
The site is close to harrogate and leeds, also mother shiptons cave.
A nice, clean well run site.

Hubby and I stayed at this park for 3 nights midweek. We found the site to be very well run. On arrival check in at reception, then wait for a warden to escort you to your pitch,
The shower/toilet facilities were very good. Just walking around the site is a pleasure as the setting is very picturesque. The pool looked very nice just outside of the pub.
The park is very central to both harrogate or leeds, where there is a bus stop right outside of the gates which takes you to either. There is a sainsburys about 5 min drive away for any essentials although there is a shop on site which seemed well stocked.
Will definitely be returning to this park nest season

This was our 1st camping trip. I would like to say a big thank you to all the staff who made our stay well worth it.
5 star. Highly recommend trying this park.
There is plenty for all to do. Kids played all day and there is a nice dog walking area. We don't have a dog but enjoyed the walk.
The friendly atmosphere in the whole area is what made the stay even more pleasant. We are going to book for longer next time.

We choose Rudding Holiday Park for its proximity to Harrogate and the excellent bus service from the gate right outside the Park. Booking was easy despite arriving on a Saturday in the summer and the welcome at reception was excellent. We were quickly sited and relevant information given.
The site was clean and tidy and interesting in its layout. The provision of a pub serving food on site was a bonus and offered an alternative to eating out or self catering.
The swimming pool charges seemed a bit high bearing in mind the cost of pitches especially for families.
The bus was helpful as 15 minutes into Harrogate Bus station and from here you can continue to visit other places with ease. Parking for a motorhome in Harrogate is difficult so for us the bus stop outside was perfect.
No reservation about booking this site again and recommending it to friends.

We have been visiting Rudding Park for several years now and have just upgraded to a caravan. We find it is good value for money out of the high season.
On this occasion we were greeted by a new couple Tony and Sue who were a pleasure to deal with. They had a very pleasant manner with adults and children and allowed us to borrow a pair of ladders to retrieve a lost frisbee. When you are on holiday it makes a big difference when the staff are so friendly and accommodating.
I would have no reservation in recommending this site to anyone and I have previously mentioned it to several of our friends to pay a visit.

Great site, great staff, everything you could wish for. Had a hiccup with double booking, but it was last minute same day as arrival, in fact still sorted as we arrived with no fuss
Warden and receptionist were very friendly.
The whole site is well maintained throughout. Shower block clean warm and great showers plenty of hot water without having to keep pressing button.
Will def be going back very soon with grandchildren next time.
Plenty to see in the area too. The manager was on hand to see to a little problem with hookup. All in all great.
Only fault we had to come home to reality again

Nice site very clean and well laid out pitches are little on the small side, lots to do in the surrounding areas, nice pubs and plenty places to eat within a short drive.
The down side to this site is I think it is very expensive when they start putting all the extras on - £3 for a dog, absolute disgrace and this is another site that charges you for using an awning even though you have a designated pitch.
Would I return ? sorry there are other sites nearby that match this that do not rip you off.

Had a great visit to this site in October 2011 during an Indian autum was very lucky. The facilities were excellent lots of separate blocks to use evenly spaced around the site. The site shop was again really handy good to have on hand and also the on site pub which was really well ran and good food. A little disappointed the pool closed so early in the season as its heated I'm sure the kids wouldn't mind. The kids park was again well placed on the site opposite the pub !

I am writing this review 4 months after our visit but was determined to remember to do a review because our stay at Rudding Park was excellent!
When we arrived we were greeted with a smile and all the staff we met were friendly and helpful. We stayed in one of the holday lodges. It was warm and cosy, immaculately clean and well furnished. Lovely location by the lake and the ducks were endlessly entertaining!
The grounds are well maintained and the on-site pub serves good food if you don't fancy self catering. There is even a small cosy part of the pub where children are not allowed for those who want peace and quiet.
Little shop was quite sparsely stocked but a large Sainsbury's is not far away so not really a problem.
Good value for money compared with hotel prices in Harrogate area and I would definitely recommend it.
Many thanks for a lovely break.

Just returned from a 2 day midweek stay at Rudding Park. We went as three families and the Warden was very friendly and accommodating, finding us three pitches together in a square.
We took advantage of the 2 nights for the price of 1 midweek offer, so for £16 per night, I'd say it is ok value, but I'd feel begrudged paying full price for it.
The site is clean and the facilities are well maintained. We went in the pool twice but it was a little busy (I can imagine it being too busy at weekends). The playground is fine for little ones but I can agree with others that there's not much for bigger kids. The pub did serve pretty good food at a great price.
We found that the pitches were a bit on the small side. Fitting a Vermont L with a side extension was a real squeeze and left to no room for the car, which had to encroach onto the next pitch (luckily, no-one pitched there).
I'd also advise taking hard ground pegs, as the ground does get hard when you hammer an inch in. One of our party was given a pitch with a lamp-post on it which lit up their tent all night, making it hard to sleep. If I've anything good to say about the pitches - they are all very level.
We took a day trip into Knaresborough, which is only about 15 minutes away. It would probably take less time than that if Harrogate wasn't one big traffic jam. We went to Mother Shipton's Cave. The place had a massive entrance and looked like it was going to be something worth visiting.
It really is marketed as a theme park attraction. We paid £16 to get in and basically all that is in there is a climbing frame, some teddies and shoes hanging from string; and a dent in a rock. I don't think I've ever felt more ripped off. If you're ever in this neck of the woods, this 'attraction' is one to give a very wide body swerve.
Would I come back to the site? At £32 per night, no way. At £16? Unlikely but maybe. It just doesn't have that much charm about it that would make me want to go there again.

Just had a great weekend at this site great location, site was well maintained, but feel there wasn't enough showers on site the queues for showers was shocking but there's 2 showers blocks with 3 showers in each for the whole site and it is a large site.
The children's play area facilities was excellent great pub on site but we didn't eat here so not sure what the food was like.
You had to book for the pool which we didn't know until we arrived.
The shop was very well equipped I would go back but only for a weekend due to the shower facilities.

Just returned from a weeks stay from Rudding Park. Initial impressions were very good, friendly, quick check in. Helpful warden directing to pitch.
The site is a lot larger that we thought loads of seasonal tourers and statics. My children made good use of the heated outdoor pool but thought a charge of £2. 75 for 1half hour session was pricey! The food in the pub was lovely homemade grub!
The playpark was very disappointing for the size of the site not suitable for 5Yrs + very small! Glad to get back home to a bit of peace and quiet.
We wouldn't visit this site over a weekend far to busy with large groups which I found quite disturbing and so did my children who couldn't sleep!
The facilities were 'ok' room for improvement considering the price per night. Great location 5min drive to Harrogate - large Sainsburys literally round the corner.
