Lovely CL site

We loved this CL which is perfectly situated away from the main road in an enclosed paddock which is a haven for wildlife, Deer, Fox, Birds (and the odd Mole). Hardstanding pitches with EHU, Sunshine all day (when it is out). Nice 35min (for us) walk into York, busses available en-route. Park and ride 10mins away as is the shopping (Monks Cross). Friendly greeting on arrival. Good facilities for, water fill, water drain, toilet and chemical toilet empty. We used our caravan shower so no comment on the site shower other than it looks just fine. We were there in October and the weather was good which meant we could sit out in the nice surroundings. Plenty of space between pitches and plenty of space if you want to do outdoor activities. Will be returning for sure.

A hidden oasis

Our first CL site and we weren't disappointed. A warm and friendly welcome, fairly level hardstanding pitches. The facilities are nice and clean, if a little dated but everything works. Our electric kettle kept blowing the post so we resorted to the electric hob, which worked without testing the post. We were rewarded with deer taking in the early morning sun, which made our day, especially being this close to York. We would definitely recommend and return here.

Charming little site, cheap bus to York

A warm welcome from Catherine on arrival set the stage for a very pleasant two days at this charming campsite. York, with its many attractions, is a 10 minute bus ride away and the park-and-ride only a few minutes walk from the campsite. The site is well maintained with clean facilities although slightly over priced.

Nice CL, but a little over priced

Nice CL ideal for P&R only 2 miles from York ,Catherine the warden is very friendly and was waiting to escort us to our pitch on arrival, site is quite level with 1xShower W/C block ( has time of review-was closed due to corvid 19 rules) , However it states £19 a night we payed £69 for 3x nights, which I thought was little over the top for CL site extras £2.00 for porch awning, £2.00 night for two dogs which I am still baffled for what they provide for the dogs? (ie, no dog bins) Rather camp on main site for roughly same price , Disappointed

Very close to york

Having looked at other reviews, thought I would mention we didn’t have any electric issues. Coat £21 / night as we had a small porchnawning ...just 2 adults. 1 shower and 1 loo in same room. Charge for shower. Takes 20 p and £1. Credit does not carry forward.... Had to queue for loo/ shower one day . Other than that, nice site, easy to get to york, 2 miles into city. You can walk it or the park and ride isn’t just round the corner. York is lovely. Loads to see and do.

Close to York

Found the site easy enough access road is very uneven for the first 100yds. This site is as close as you can get to York city centre unless you stay at Rowntree, pitches are hard standing & level. We we're met by the owner as we arrived & informed which pitch to use, we were warned that the electric was only 10amp so I assume there has been trip outs of said hook-ups. Site is quiet enough but you can hear some road noise which can be expected as you're just off a main road into the city. You are a 5 minuet walk from York park & ride. The price of pitches are reasonable (just) for a site this close to the city, but I think the electrics need upgrading to 16amp for that price. There is a toilet & shower (charge) on site in the same room. Overall a great site if you whish to be close to the city.

Stayed a week, end of September

Great location for exploring York City Centre, and couldn’t be closer to local ‘amenities’ including Sainsbury’s, M&S and John Lewis, a variety of eateries, a cinema and the park and ride, all within walking distance. Although you can hear traffic in the distance, it’s surprisingly peaceful, and by no means intrusive. The single loo and shower (combined) were immaculately clean, but very tired and dated. The electric shower had no instructions and wasn’t particularly intuitive to use (or powerful). Electricity was on a timed coin meter, starts counting down as soon as fed, £1 gave 15 mins.

Weekend away

Hi We have just stayed for 2 nights during winter months. The hard standing was not wide enough at all. I was walking in deep mud to change my water barrels which ruined more than one pair of shoes, this was not good enough at all. Please extend the width by at least 1.5 metres. If you accept winter trade you need to cater for winter trade. The price shows £19 for all occupants, but was charged £43 for 2 nights, I need to find out why. Only 10amp electricity was available which could be better for the fees charged They could do with spending a few pounds on up dating the site and entrance. You are charging the same price as top quality sites.

Lovely Site

Found this site with ease, a few potholes but easy to avoid. Was welcomed by Mrs Wardell, lovely lady with lots of information about site, surrounding area. We did have a little problem with out van and she was very helpful in informing us of the nearest caravan showroom/shop. Very knowledgeable about York and surrounding places of interest. Every time we saw the owner we were greeted with a wave, smile and asked about our day. Park and Ride just around the corner so easy access to York and shops on the retail park. Even though it is close to a main road it was a quiet and peaceful site. Will certainly be back again. Many Thanks.
