The award forms part of the prestigious AA Caravan & Camping Awards, which recognise the UK's best outdoor accommodation.

Still proudly family-run, Riverside offers touring pitches and holiday cottages, with the award marking another milestone in the park's history.

John Marshall, operations director at Riverside Caravan Park, said: “As a family-run business, guest experience is really important to us, so much so that you will usually find one of us around at all times, ready to make people's holidays and trips really special!

"To receive recognition like this from the AA means so much to us. It's a real testament to the hard work of our team, and we're incredibly proud to see Riverside recognised among some of the best campsites in the country.”

Close to Ingleton, Riverside Caravan Park is an ideal base for exploring the Yorkshire Dales, Forest of Bowland, The Lake District, Morecambe Bay and the Lancashire countryside.
