What customers say
This immaculately kept riverside site offers a beautiful setting with easy access to York. Visitors praise the brand new, boutique-hotel-style facilities, particularly the exceptional showers and toilets. Pitches are well-organised and clean, with convenient online check-in. While most found the site peaceful, some experienced intermittent WiFi and noted limited wash-up areas. The cafe bar and riverboat ferry availability have variable hours. Minor points include a lack of ventilation in cubicles and occasional noise from nearby works.

The most luxurious site we have ever stopped at.
Electric grass and gravel touring pitch (no awning, small)
Liked Everything! Gorgeous site, immaculately clean. Peaceful and oh my word; the toilets!!! It was so lovely having a shower that didnt switch off every 8 seconds! This is definitely the most luxurious campsite we have stayed on to date.
Disliked The fact we had only booked this site for 1 night! Definitely going to plan a trip back up for a couple of nights.

Disliked Bosun’s restaurant and bar only opens from Thursday to Sunday, not good for the weekday visitors.
No food at pubs in the village on a Monday and Tuesday.
Arrival was self-service from e-mail info, missed that personal touch.

Disliked Although showers very clean,lacked hanging space. Need small stool to sit on when dressing. Not everyone is able to balance when putting clothes on .

Liked Loved everything. The site is beautiful and the toilets are the best and cleanest I've ever seen. Loved the coffee from the wee hut and had a great couple off pints from the restaurant sitting on the balcony watching the boats pass by. Lovely walks next time I'll bring my wee dogs.
Disliked Nothing I can think off

Liked The site is beautifully kept, very very clean.
I loved the washrooms, the water was really warm and it was so clean.
We took a return journey on the boat into York which was lovely.
It’s approximately an hour and 15 mins walk into York but it’s a very Pleasant walk.
Disliked Maybe a few more sinks to do the dishes, there’s only one sink.
