Before you go
- Arriving
Follow the directions supplied rather than sat nav, and let staff know if it's your first time — they'll make sure you feel welcome from the gate onwards.
- First visit
The club's own website reassures newcomers that naturism is non-sexual and judgment-free, with no special knowledge required, just an open mind and a towel; a member will show you around at your own pace.
- Prices
Bar prices are described as good value in weekend evenings.
- Facilities
The club's own website mentions a social clubhouse and bar; reviews praise a newly built shower block that is very clean with hot water, well-kept grounds, and pleasant woodland setting.

Valley Sun Club is now closed to visitors until Spring 2027, according to its website. The club's own website states that booking requests for the 2027 season can be made, though replies may take longer than usual.
When it reopens, Valley will be a members-run naturist club and campsite set in five acres of North Yorkshire countryside just outside Harrogate, offering day visits, overnight stays in caravans or motorhomes, and annual membership. The club's own website emphasises that it welcomes first-timers in a non-sexual, judgment-free environment, with facilities including a social clubhouse, bar, shower block, and grounds for relaxation and socialising.
All twelve recent reviews gave five stars and consistently praise the warm welcome from members, the beautiful peaceful setting, the friendly atmosphere including strong LGBTQ+ inclusion, and good value bar prices. Reviewers highlight how quickly newcomers feel at home, from the moment of arrival through to joining in games, karaoke, and conversation in the clubhouse. The site suits couples, groups, and solo visitors new to naturism as well as experienced members.

- Mix of couples and groups of friends of various ages, including younger members under 35, locals and visitors staying for weekends or longer, LGBTQ+ friendly.
- How opinion has moved

What guests love

What a friendly group of members at Valley, you're looked upon as if you are a member from the moment you drive in.Neil met us and made us feel at home from the off. I can't recommend Valley enough if you want a relaxing visit or you want to visit Harrogate and further afield. A great value bar available on weekend nights. Make sure you follow directions supplied and not sat nav.
Visited over the Easter weekend. Was just staying the 2 nights. As we were touring & Site seeing. We arrived on Friday night to a lovley warm welcome from the members. Very well kept grounds. Newly built shower block very clean. Once we were all set up, we popped up to the little social club we're we had a drink with the other members who made us feel very welcome. Such a great location, if you like sightseeing or ev…
Went for a day visit first time naturist so was nervous, soon as I got there I was made to feel welcome and at ease the members were very friendly and the site was beautiful and so peaceful and relaxing. Will definitely be going back. Just to add I've been back twice since and the experience only got better the people are fantastic and friendly it feels like home away from home.
Very friendly and welcoming people. Lovely site.
Group of 4 of us between 27-38 visited for 2 nights recently and we absolutely loved it. We felt very welcomed by everyone from the second we got there and were already chatting with others before we could even finish pitch up! Very laid back atmosphere, everyone very friendly, especially LGBTQ+ friendly, and facilities were all kept very clean. Will definitely be back again with many more of us!
Visited here this weekend with YBN (young British naturist). There was 6 of us under 35, and the welcome from all the members was so much more than we ever expected, we was greeted my Richard who again was super friendly and polite and helped us at get set up. On the evening we joined in the clubhouse for socials and we was fast welcomed with open arms, at no point did I feel as i was new to site. Every single member…
I was visiting The Great Yorkshire Showground, instead of a hotel I decided as a BN member to stay at Valley. Initial communication was brill and kept informed as the weather had been so bad and not suitable to a motorhome. As the weather improved I booked for 3 nights. Loved the place and stayed another night. I'm very happy to have visited and would certainly go again, although I will need singing lessons as I must…
Love this site and great people
