What customers say
This is a clean, quiet, and well-maintained site offering a peaceful countryside feel with excellent access to York via a nearby bus service. Visitors praise the friendly and helpful owners, spacious pitches, and secure gated access. While the site is basic, with no on-site facilities like toilets or showers, many found this acceptable and highlight good water and waste disposal points. The presence of rabbits is a noted feature. Minor concerns include road noise at peak times and limited immediate dog-walking paths, though alternative routes are available.

Liked Flat grass pitch with secure gate (code for padlock)
Disliked Busy road with no pavements to walk along. Couldn’t find anywhere to walk the dogs.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, great to read you liked the flat grass pitch and you would recommend us to friends. Unfortunatley you did not enquire about walks when I greeted you on arrival and you did not spot the information in the Info Hut which has details and directions for you to walk along the path outside the caravan site gate towards the public right of way. This is a lovely countryside walk during which the dogs can safely run free from their leads. There is a circular route and a also a walk into the suberb of Fulford. Kind regards Gina and Gary
Be prepared and you have a brilliant base to explore York
Electric optional grass touring pitch (members only)
Liked Very basic but clean and well maintained. You HAVE to be self contained. 10 - 15 minutes by regular bus service from the city center. Traffic is busy at peak times but quietened down at night.
Very helpful owner.

From the manager: Delighted you plan to return and stay with us again, we are open up to the 7 December giving ample opportunity to enjoy the Christmas markets. As you say, with your own toilet and wash facilities plus the option we offer for electric hook up and the grey and waste disposal points and fresh water supply you can enjoy a stay close to York in a rural setting. The bus is super handy to get in and out of the city, the traffic can build up during peak rush hour times adding a few more minutes to your bus journey. Kind regards Gina and Gary.
Clean site, quiet with easy access to the area.

Liked Lovely quiet site, we loved watching the bunnies in the evening as the sun set. Location was perfect, bus stop close by to travel into York, lovely cafe just a short walk away that did great breakfasts, supermarket was also very close.

We could get drinking water on site as well as disposing of our grey water and chemical toilet.
