About this site

A1 Touring Park is a small touring park and Camping and Caravanning Club Certificated Site set in two acres of parkland at Darrington, just off the A1 near Pontefract in West Yorkshire. It lies about 400 yards off the A1 Great North Road and roughly 3 miles from Pontefract, in the Wakefield district of West Yorkshire, which makes it an easy overnight stop for anyone driving the A1 or the nearby M62. The site has 8 hardstandings with electric hook-ups, plus room for tents and small campervans, and it suits caravans, motorhomes and tourers who want a quiet, secure break in a journey. It is a functional stopover rather than a holiday destination, so anyone wanting play areas, a bar or on-site entertainment will not find them at A1 Touring Park. Reviewers highlight clean, well-kept toilets and showers, a secure coded gate and a helpful welcome, with road noise settling to a low hum once you are parked up. Dogs are welcome and the site stays open year round. Prices are quoted through the operator, West Park Caravan Parks, so confirm the current pitch rate when you book.

Good to know

Is A1 Touring Park open all year?
Yes, A1 Touring Park operates year round as a touring stopover, which makes it handy in winter as well as summer. It is small, with 8 hardstandings, so booking ahead is wise at busy times. Confirm your arrival time with the operator, as late check-ins use the secure gate code.
How close is the site to the A1?
The park sits about 400 yards from the A1 Great North Road near Darrington, which makes it a quick overnight stop off the main route. It is roughly 3 miles from Pontefract and close to the M62, so fuel, food and onward roads are all easy to reach.
Are dogs allowed?
Yes, dogs are welcome at A1 Touring Park, which suits travellers breaking up a long drive with a pet on board. Keep dogs under control on the small, shared site and use the surrounding lanes and parkland for walks. Clear up after them to keep the pitches tidy for others.
Does it have electric hook-ups?
Yes, the site has electric hook-up points across its 8 hardstandings, along with Elsan disposal and an amenity block with clean toilets and showers. It suits caravans and motorhomes that need power for a comfortable overnight stop. Reviewers rate the washroom as clean and the showers as roomy.
Can I pitch a tent there?
Yes, tents and small campervans are accepted alongside caravans and motorhomes, though the site is built mainly around hardstanding touring pitches. It is a compact, functional park rather than a spacious camping field, so tent campers should expect a practical stopover rather than a scenic holiday base.
How much does it cost and how do I book?
The operator, West Park Caravan Parks, does not publish a full A1 Touring Park tariff online, so prices are confirmed at the time of booking. Contact the park directly or use its booking process to check the current per-night rate for your caravan, motorhome or tent.
