What customers say
This adults-only site is highly praised for its friendly, helpful staff, immaculate and modern facilities, and spacious, well-maintained pitches. Guests enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, on-site bar, and pizza van. Its location is ideal for exploring York and surrounding areas. Minor points mentioned include occasional train or distant military noise, and inconsistent Wi-Fi signal away from the bar.

A beautiful and (mostly) idilyic camp site.
Mitchell's Field electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked A lovely site. Beautiful camping area with a decent amount of space between pitches. Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Shower block is immaculate - as good as you'll get on a campsite, really. Bar was really good and beer at a reasonable price. Pizza van was busy and we got a very decent pizza. Ideal for walking to Flaxton and Strensall - the latter had two excellent village pubs worth a visit.
Disliked Check in at 2pm is later than most and really shortens the first day.
There are a lot of rules, intended to keep the place a quiet, adult-only site. On our second night, a very loud group broke about half of them and were playing loud music and singing into early hours. It didn't effect us much at our pitch, but it certainly affected others closer to them. It isn't the park's fault if some campers break a bunch of rules and create a large disturbance. It is, however, the park's fault for not enforcing their rules, which they literally give to you on a sheet at check-in...

Great site
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Lovely location, great staff, on-site bar, lovely local Flaxton beers (open until 10pm - perfect). The week we were there the weather was exceptional (heat wave over a bank holiday weekend). Would definitely stay again.
Disliked No onsite shop. Not really a problem. A small Morrisons and Tesco in the local town of Strensall (2.5 miles away)
