Toller Parkplatz um tagsüber das schöne Dorf mit dem Schloss zu besuchen. Es geht von hier auch ein Fussweg zur Rievaulx Abbey. Von 6.30p.m bis 9.00a.m ist das Übernachten kostenlos. Auch für grössere Wohnmobile geeignet. Vielen Dank an die Gemeinde für diesen Ort.

Stayed here last night for just 1 night, very sheltered and quiet, plenty of bins close by. The toilets didn’t seem to get locked at 7pm like some feedback stated which was a bonus (Think they stayed open all night) Popular spot, we got there about 5pm and there wear 13/14 vans all ready in. Would stay again, so handy for the village square.

Great spot. Perfect toilet facilities, lots of waste bins and recycling, 4G signal, picnic benches, great for walking, very quiet! Parking cheap enough between 0900-1830, can pay by card/contactless. Can’t believe quite how good it is!

My wife and I stayed here last weekend. Perfectly safe and 5 minutes walk into town centre. Lovely meal at the Royal Oak in the town centre. Free overnight parking but toilets closed overnight.

Spoke to a local who said that the 3 year probation period for this motorhome parking area was coming up for review soon. Some locals have objected to this being extended on the basis of noise and litter being left behind. Yet local shops, cafes and pubs welcome the money spent by visiting motor homers and want to support it continuing. Let’s keep the locals happy by keeping the place tidy.

As previously stated by others, great place just a short walk into town and all free overnight. The only thing I’d add is don’t park in the first car park where it says coaches. As you drive in, it does say on the ground No Overnight Parking. Keep on going to the top car park as that’s where you at stay overnight.

A great place to stay - very quiet! It’s nice to see Ryedale District Council welcoming motor homes and providing designated overnight parking!!

bevh65

on 11 08 2021

This is a carpark that allows motorhomes to stay the night for free. The spaces are car spaces however overnight this is not a problem as you can park well away from others over a couple of bays. It is a large carpark. quite a few motorhomes here. The carpark is also in a lovely historic town.

toggy

on 11 08 2021

These are Not spaces for motorhomes. they are VERY narrow we parked with 2 inches between ours and the next one, just so that we were in designated lines. how is that safe? couldn't even get out the door until they moved. traffic wardens red hot. gave ticket to a car, even though all 5 machines were out of order for card payments! goodbye Hensley.

Perfect stopover. 12 other vans in the top car park. Top car park is surrounded by trees and is away from everything. Free between 18:30 and 9am, short walk to the market Square with pubs and restaurants.

Really great free carpark for overnight stay from 18.30. Had a great night's sleep on a level pitch. Short walk from the beautiful town. No toilets as it's a carpark but public toilets in town which is a 5 minute walk.. Definitely recommend.

Been here a few times. Nice grass area with picnic tables. Short walk into town. Quiet apart from the owls! Toilets not open during free parking hours. Gets quite busy.

A brilliant spot, quite busy but we'll spaced out car park, surrounded by trees and picnic tables. short stroll into town, moved van in morning to free spaces in town and spent a lovely day in pubs, shops and cafes.

Stayed here The night of 25th April. Great location. We paid £6 for 24h which we think is great value given the location. We had great service and good food from the Royal Oak which we took back to the van along with a pint and a glass of wine in plastic carry out cups. Picnic tables and grass areas right by the car park, really peaceful, would recomend.

A rare find in England. Basically an aire that is free in the evenings. No services but lots of picnic benches. Highly recommended and huge thank you to the people of Helmsley.

I echo what others have said. Perfect spot for a short 1 or 2 night stop over. There should be more places like this! Plus Helmsley’s lovely.

bevaskew

Brilliant spot: bins, toilets (daytime only) and picnic tables all nearby. Very peaceful at night, just the sound of owls. Helmsley is a lovely place with loads of pubs, shops and cafes. Walks to Rievaulx Abbey and around Duncome Park estate (small fee) are perfect. Thank you Ryedale Council, I wish more towns and villages in the UK had motorhome-friendly parking like this!

Great place to park,but gets very busy during the day with cars squeezing in between camper vans?

Busterteddy

on 9 04 2019

Yes I must agree with other MH and Camper van owners it’s a very nice place to stay and it would be a shame if the council did close it, as the amount of money we spent in the takeaway and pubs would be quite a miss to the local shops we visit at least 4 times a year.Lord Welch

Moved here due to storm on higher wooded site. Excellent to see Council providing overnight parking for motorhomes, great village in good locations for moors, woodland and rivers. Pubs and shops. Will write to council to complement them on looking after motorhomes.

Great place to stay . i paid £6 for 24 hours .peacefull location very close to the town and great for walking . Excellent Indian in the town . Butchers etc .Well done Helmsley council. I also emailed the council and thanked them for the MH parking. .

Great place to spend a few nights, £6 for all day, free at night time. However the facility is only on a three year probation and will be reviewed next year. There have already been objections by local residents but unfounded in my view as the place where motorhomes are parked is well shielded from the rest of the car park. Please try to let the local council know how much the parking is appreciated. The more letters/emails they receive the more likely it is they will extend the practice.

sasT5

Great place you stop just minutes walk from town. clean toilets during the day but not at night. Will be stopping here again.

We stayed here the night of August 13th and the morning of the 14th. The evening was free and paid £3 for 3 hours ending at 12 noon. The village and castle ruins were amazing and the space for RV motohomes was good. The gentleman checking for the ticket at noon was a little aggressive but overall a great place to park the motor home.

Parking vaste bordé par une belle forêt. Le calme absolu. Des tables de pique-nique dans un écrin de verdure au bout du parking. Un joli village pour se balader et faire quelques courses. Bucolique.

Une aire pour dormir dans le calme. À le mérite d'exister. Surtout n'arrivez pas avant 18h30 sinon il vous faudra payer 2 livres pour une heure. La nuit est gratuite de 18h30 à 9h le lendemain matin.

Stayed 2 nights this weekend, very clean and safe. Other campervans and motorhomes used the sites. plenty of tables out to eat picnic style. close to town centre for food, drinks and entertainment. Regular traffic warden checks, toilets close at 6pm and open around 8am. £6 A day parking between 9am and 6.30pm. Great spot, would use again.
