A popular holiday site in North Yorkshire, York Rowntree Park Club Campsite offers level pitches located on the banks of the River Ouse. Some pitches have attractive hedging and glades which provide not only a scenic treat but also ensure your privacy. The Club Campsite is within easy walking distance of the beautiful and historic city of York and also makes for an excellent base from which to explore the Yorkshire area. York itself has so much to see and do that you'll find the time can slip by all too easily. Using a pedestrian gate at the back of the site leads you to a parade of local shops, including a fantastic fish and chip shop with cafe, Indian and Thai restaurants and numerous takeaways as well as a selection of Cafe's, food and convenience shops.
Although the site is near to the city centre, it is peaceful and has a lovely rural feel, with pleasant walks down the side of the river to the Millennium bridge and more. York Rowntree Park Club Campsite is ideal for those wishing to visit York Minster - the largest gothic cathedral in northern Europe. Do include a walk to the city's medieval walls and the Shambles to get a feel of the old city with its medieval timber framed houses. You may also stumble across Snickelways of York which is a collection of small street and footpaths. Why not walk down Whip-ma-whop-ma-gate: a street of historical interest which is the shortest street in York with the longest name. Whilst staying at York Rowntree Park why not call in at the many real ale pubs, The York Dungeons, Jorvik Viking Centre and take a time-car, which will transport you back to the city's distant past. Should you have any budding archaeologists in the family, visit the ARC at St Saviours Church and train enthusiasts of all ages won't want to miss the award-winning National Railway Museum.

York Rowntree Park Club Campsite
This site is well worth a visit. The access is quite narrow so you need to follow arrival times and be sensible about the speed to access the site. There are plenty of passing places so use them if need be. The wardens are organised and waiting your arrival. I always pay in advance so this does speed up the process - straight to choose a pitch. There were not many remaining but we had a good pitch and like the option for parking the caravan and car. Wash rooms and other facilities all really clean, showers could be more powerful but I say this for every site! Short 10 minute walk into York with all its attractions and great food choices. We did not go out in the car for the whole of our stay everything you need is short walk away.

York Rowntree Park Club Campsite
Stayed here for 14 nights and an excellent site for visiting York and surrounding areas.
Staff were friendly and professional. An exit through a side gate and a five minute walk to local shops without having to venture into York was an added bonus. We will definitely return and highly recommended to all our friends.
