Bentham caravan park one of the best in UK
A family run holiday park in High Bentham has been recognised as one of the UK's best campsites.
Riverside Caravan Park is celebrating after being named AA North West Campsite of the Year for 2026, recognising its outstanding facilities, hospitality and commitment to guest satisfaction.
First opening its doors in March 1970, Riverside has been welcoming guests to the area for over 55 years.
Now run by the third generation of the same family, the park has become a popular base for holiday homeowners and touring guests looking to explore the Yorkshire Dales, Forest of Bowland and
surrounding countryside.
The award forms part of the prestigious AA Caravan & Camping Awards, which recognise the UK's best outdoor accommodation.
The AA's expert inspectors select the winners based on the quality of their facilities and commitment to customer satisfaction.
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.
