Members of The Camping and Caravanning Club have voted Riverside Caravan Site near Skipton in North Yorkshire the best Certificated Site for 2021.
There are over 1,300 Certificated Sites across the UK, which are operated exclusively for Club members.
They are small, privately run campsites that accommodate up to five caravans or motorhomes and up to ten tents at any one time.
Throughout last year, Club members nominated their favourite Certificated Site in the Club’s Best CS competition.
Votes ran across five categories – Best Friendly Club Welcome, Best Hideaway, Best New Site, Best Facilities, and Best CS for Families.
Riverside gained the most nominations in the Best Friendly Club welcome and Best CS for Families categories and has been crowned overall winner for 2021.
The campsite, which husband and wife owners Alison and James Naylor set up in 2008 on an area of land that had previously been used for dairy farming, is situated in an idyllic location with 360-degree views.
It is a family-friendly site with hardstanding and electric pitches.
Alison said: “We used to be caravanners ourselves and then we thought what else can we do to earn a bit more money.
“We have plenty of land here so thought, yes, lets set up a campsite.”
All of the pitches on site have lovely views towards the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, a short distance away.
Prices at the Clubs network of Certificated Sites start from around £10 per night and range from campsites offering basic facilities such as waste, water and drainage facilities only, through to full facility campsites with hardstanding pitches and electric hook-ups, modern facilities and shower blocks.
Darren Whittington, the director of operations at the Camping and Caravanning Club said: “Since their first season Alison and James have worked so hard to develop Riverside and it is a worthy winner of this year’s Best CS competition.
“The site has everything you might need for a family camping holiday and the Club has been happy to see how it has developed over the years.”
