What customers say
This is a peaceful, spacious campsite with friendly and accommodating owners, particularly Val. Guests appreciate the clean, basic facilities, good location for exploring York and nearby villages, and proximity to a local pub. While some visitors noted the limited number of showers and toilets and a lack of washing-up facilities, management has indicated plans for upgrades. The site is dog-friendly and offers beautiful surroundings.

Anonymous Electric grass pitch
Liked Val the lady who greets you, is really friendly and always ensures you have everything you need, she makes the campsite.
That the village Huby is only a mile’s walk away, it has a pub (serving food) and a community shop, also there are various houses selling jam, honey, kindling, eggs, etc. It’s a really cute village.
The campsite has everything you need, it would be nice if there was a pot wash, but there isn’t, so we managed.
Bus stop in Huby not far, to Easingwold, Thirsk & York.
You’re allowed a campfire, just protect the grass.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Super. Owners friendly and very helpful and it was an easy walk to the lovely local pub.
Would recommend looking at the WC facilities (shelves, hooks, table in toilets) as nowhere to place things when just having a wash etc, but no deal breaker, just make it easier.
Would defo go back.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Great for kids to run around and enjoy themselves. Toilets and shower block kept very clean and always stocked up with loo roll. Bins emptied regularly and Val was very helpful and friendly. A family member was staying in the huts and they were great will definitely try these for a night next time.
Disliked Road is a little noisy beside the camp sometimes but this didn’t stop us from getting a good night sleeps.
