Booking information:

  • For group bookings wanting to be located together, please request this by sending an email to us and we will do our best to place your bookings together.
  • Once you have made payment, sit back and look forward to campfires, starry nights and bird song!
  • All term dates are based on North Yorkshire term dates.
  • We value our guests getting a good night's sleep and have a strict quiet time from 11pm to 7am. Just to clarify, many of our guests specifically book with us because we have a strict quiet time policy and this does not mean noise to a minimum - it means quiet. If you like to chat into the small hours, Swallowtails is not the campsite for you.
  • We are dog friendly (no puppies under 1 year old for glamping bookings). All dogs should be well behaved and not excessively bark for the comfort of other campers.
  • Glamping check ins are after 4pm and camping check ins are after 2pm.

Pitch Information

What comes with your pitch?

Our pitches are well draining level gravel and grass pitches. All of our pitches now have electric hook ups and all have their own water supply (there are shared grey water and Elsan waste points onsite). Jumbo and large pitches have their own picnic table provided saving you having to bring one.

We allow the use of raised firepits, but we also have a communal fire in the middle of the campsite just a short distance from each pitch which makes for a very sociable campsite where guests can put the world to rights around the fire of an evening whilst the kids play and make friends. Fire logs, fire lighters and kindling can be purchased from the supplies shack.

All pitches are in a row, so if you are making a group booking, and would like to be placed next to each other, please send us an email (info@swallowtailholidays.co.uk) and we will do our best to position your group together.

What amenities do we provide at Swallowtails?

  • There is a toilet block and showers available in the stable block for campers (glampers have their own toilets and showers) which are cleaned at least daily, as well as a games room ideal for rainy days
  • There is a shared kitchen with washing up area, fridge freezer and microwaves.
  • We have a large kids play area onsite. If you would like to be on a pitch near or away from the kids play area, please email us and we will do our best to place you accordingly.

Swallowtails also provide a range of outdoor adult, family or kids activities in the warmer months.
