FAMILY PRIDE: Thomas Marshall and his wife Jane with their children Isabel and John

Family-run Riverside Caravan Park, located on the banks of the River Wenning near Bentham in the Yorkshire Dales, is celebrating national recognition after being named among the UK’s Outstanding Sites by leading booking platform Campsites.co.uk.

The annual awards recognise holiday parks that consistently receive exceptional reviews from camping, touring, glamping and holiday guests, highlighting destinations that deliver outstanding visitor experiences.

Established almost 60 years ago by the Marshall family, Riverside has grown from a modest camping site into a popular holiday destination offering luxury caravans, holiday lodges, glamping accommodation and spacious pitches for touring caravans, motorhomes and tents. Owner Thomas Marshall said the award is especially significant because it is based entirely on guest feedback.

He credited the park’s dedicated team for maintaining high standards, creating a welcoming atmosphere and delivering the quality service that visitors have come to expect. Guests regularly praise Riverside for its peaceful riverside setting, immaculate grounds and excellent facilities, making it a favourite with families, couples and outdoor enthusiasts.

The park also holds Gold Awards from VisitEngland and the AA, further demonstrating its commitment to quality. This latest recognition reinforces Riverside Caravan Park’s reputation as one of the UK’s leading holiday park destinations and highlights its continued focus on providing memorable holidays for every guest.
