Riverside’s shortlisting comes during what Thomas Marshall says could be the park’s busiest ever summer in its 49 year history.
Riverside provides more than 250 caravan holiday homes and luxury lodges, as well as glamping pods and pitches for touring caravans and motorhomes.
Thomas said everyone was delighted with the news that the park would be put under the spotlight.

“Delivering this is very much in the hands of our loyal and hardworking staff, so they deserve a large share of the credit for this achievement.
“I hope the publicity will also benefit other tourism businesses in the area by putting the focus on North Yorkshire as a fantastic place for family holidays.”
Thomas and Jane are helped in the running of their business by their daughter Isabel. There is more information about the park at www.riversidecaravanpark.co.uk
