Adults-only site in Osbaldwick, with easy access to York and the A64
Castle Howard and North York Moors National Park half an hour's drive
Dog-friendly pitches 15 minutes' walk from a York park & ride bus

Fancy visiting York but not so keen on staying in the crowded city centre? There’s a very good solution to this at Holly Tree Nook, a couple of miles east of the city in Osbaldwick. This is a spot that’s both conveniently located and nicely peaceful – with an adults-only setup to help keep the place quiet and laidback. Getting here should be nice and easy, with nearby connections from the A64 – and getting out again is equally straightforward, as the city’s park & ride service is about 15 minutes’ walk away (a very handy thing for saving you the hassle of city-centre parking). That means it’s very simple to get out to explore York’s many attractions (and you may need a couple of trips at least, given how much there is to do…). It’s not all about city days though – here you’ll also be well placed for walks in the Yorkshire Wolds and North York Moors National Park or outings to various gardens, stately homes, museums and vineyards dotted around the countryside. Fill your days however you wish – you’ll be coming back to spacious pitches that have access to a modern amenities building that’s got not just toilets and showers but also a lovely sauna where you can really unwind. A pub, café and small supermarket are about half a mile away to help keep you fed and watered, and a local brewery taproom five minutes’ walk away opens up at the weekends.

What customers say

This new, adults-only campsite offers immaculate, modern facilities and spacious, level pitches with water and electric hook-ups. It's highly praised for its cleanliness and peaceful atmosphere. Its excellent location provides easy access to York via a short bus ride or a pleasant walk, with local pubs and shops nearby. While most visitors enjoyed their stay, some noted that shower timers were short, and the lack of cold water taps in some toilet areas was inconvenient. Managers have acknowledged these points and are looking into improvements.

Liked We liked the relaxed feel of this site and the location was great for catching a bus into central York. The facilities were good. We walked to the nearby Kitchen Cafe and enjoyed a good cooked breakfast. We would stay again if we are visiting the area.

Local attractions

To York first presumably? Having the park and ride so close by is a very useful thing, making it easy to get to the city centre for days of visiting the minster, Jorvik Viking Centre and National Railway Museum, sampling sweet treats at York’s Chocolate Story and wandering the city walls. You may also like to stroll down The Shambles, take a boat trip along the Ouse, join a ghost walk or try a traditional afternoon tea at Bettys café. For a bit more of the area’s heritage, visit places like the Murton Park museum (five minutes’ drive), Castle Howard (half an hour) and National Trust - Beningbrough Hall, Gallery and Gardens (half an hour). Yorkshire Air Museum and Allied Air Forces Memorial (10 minutes) explores another aspect of history. Where else? Perhaps a day at York Racecourse (20 minutes), a stroll around Burnby Hall Gardens (20 minutes) or some watersports and a bounce across the aqua park at Allerthorpe Lakeland Park (20 minutes). There are also tours and lovely things to eat at Yorkshire Heart Vineyard, Brewery and Wine House Cafe (half an hour).
