What customers say
This is a peaceful, spacious campsite with a very friendly and welcoming owner, Val. Pitches are generally level and well-maintained. Facilities are basic but clean, though some guests found the number of toilets and showers insufficient during busier periods. The location is praised for its tranquility and proximity to local attractions, making it a popular choice for a relaxing getaway. Some minor improvements to facilities have been suggested.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Great space to stay in and you could see so many stars at night.
Electric grass pitch
Liked The field was flat and electric hookups were available all over. The toilet and shower block were great.
Val was very nice and advised us on walks and what buses to get into town.
Disliked Area to clean dishes would be helpful although there is great drinking water.

Nice place and views, average facilities, slightly strict rules,
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked We moved up to the top field after the first night as the bottom field butts onto the road. It was really peaceful up there with horses in the next field, birds of prey flying around and lovely views. There’s 2 showers and toilets a short walk from the field.
Disliked Val was friendly but very abrupt with our brother and sister in law who came to join us for a couple of hours for a BBQ to celebrate my husbands birthday. The toilet ran out of toilet paper. Only one shower worked at a time. It’s a little bit regimented there

From the manager: Hi there well for one you asked to go in shade due to hot weather i then let you move when asked .for 2 most campsites would not accomadate you to move 3 most campsites need to know when you have people coming on visiting 4 most charge for extra people and cars coming on sites 5 my shower was broken and i could not fix it myself and was waiting for the plumber this i apolagize for 6 you was asked to keep your fire low and you did not 7 i go out and check the toilet rolls regually if there is no toilet rolls you could have asked i apolagize for none being there 8 you say it is a bit regimented what a laugh Val
Friendly owner, clean facilities,level pitches. I’ll definitely return
Electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely friendly owner, felt really welcome. Nice flat pitches with soft soil east to get pegs in. Not far from tourist attractions and York. Toilets and shower were clean, toilet roll was topped up and soap in the toilet. Great shower pressure in the second shower didn’t go in the first one.
Disliked No washing up area but plenty of hot water to wash up in tent. Close to a road but nothing too bothersome.

From the manager: Thankyou for the brilliant review glad you enjoyed and i hope you enjoy the rest of your time in England xx
Great, quiet site, good location & village/pub within walking distance
Electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely clean and quiet site with loads of space between pitches. There were only a small number of tents and a couple of camper vans across the 2 big fields so we had plenty of room. Toilets and shower always clean. Close to village with a pub, which was great, we didn't eat there but enjoyed the beer garden on a hot day and the community shop in the village provided essentials like milk and bread. Val was really welcoming and always on hand to help. The only thing I'd add as far as facilities would be to add washing up facilities if possible but being in a caravan it wasn't a deal breaker. Thanks for a lovely stay, we'll be back.

From the manager: Thankyou for the great review im still trying to fathom out were i could put a washing up place but im hoping we can get sorted next year and get a new toilet block fingers crossed glad you enjoyed and hope to see you again Val and John x
