What customers say
This is a well-maintained, peaceful site with spacious, level grass pitches. It offers a convenient and regular bus service into York, making it ideal for city breaks. Visitors highlight the friendly and helpful owners, the informative on-site hut, and the pleasant rural setting. The site is well-suited for self-contained units, with water and waste disposal facilities. Some guests mentioned the lack of on-site showers and toilets. The sandy soil provides good drainage, even after rain.

From the manager: Great review, thankyou! The local 415 bus is amazing and runs 7 days a week every 20 minutes until teatime - even better the last bus home isnt until 11.10pm allowing time to sample York's vibrant city centre full of varied restaurants, pubs, cafe's and winebars.

Electric optional grass touring pitch (members only)
Liked Lovely lady called Nina welcomed us.
Easy to find lots of clear instructions.
Choice of 2 buses to get into York, takes about 15 minutes one of the buses stops at the Outlet centre.
Great fun watching the rabbits frolicking in the field next door.
Disliked The pitches were too close together back to back not side to side, we were kept awake by people talking in their awning which was only a few feet away from our heads. If we’d been staying longer we would have turned the van around.

Electric optional grass touring pitch (members only)
Liked Nice little site with easy access to the designer outlet and York city centre.
Disliked Not much amenities
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Great to read you enjoyed our location, as you say it is so handy for York - the local bus is a great option, with a bus passing by 7 days a week from earlty til late. We always want our guests to know all about our site before their stay and so we advertise our amenities - electric hook up, grey and waste disposal points and fresh water supply. We have some great local walks and cycle tracks nearby in our peaceful rural setting - ideal for a city break in a rural setting. Delighted to read you would recommend us to friends and stay again - hope we can welcome you in 2026 :)

Liked Big pitched
Peaceful night
Disliked No hard standing. Field was getting chromed up with vehicles afraid of getting stuck but made it out. No interned , myself and hubby have different providers but unable to use internet . Not able to watch tv due to this
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: This review is very diasappointing and in no way reflects all our other reviews. If you are considering booking with us please please read all the other reviews left by our guests. We usually score a 10/10 with a smattering of 7-9/10 scores.
Almost every review thanks us for our helpful and friendly welcome - something we are very proud of. We work very hard to provide a good experience for our guests.
Our site is regualary praised in reviews for being clean and tidy.
We do not advertise Wifi as part of the stay - other guests manage very well on their own networks and are able to watch their TV with no problems at all.
The field is very sandy and vehicles do not get stuck which is why we stay open every year until early December - reading recent reviews from guests staying over the same weekend confirm this - not one of them mentions being afraid of getting stuck.
We clearly advertise that we are a grass only site with no hard standing.
At least the site was able to provide a big pitch and some peace - I wonder at the intention of such a review..?

Would use again
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Lovely to welcome you to stay and great to hear you would stay again and welcome us to friends. We are always super busy for visitors to the wonderful York Christmas markets - our sandy grass field comes in very handy when we need surface water to drain away keeping the ground firm during winter months and allowing visitors to safely and easily drive on and off site. Kind regards Gina and Gary
