Summertime at the site

  • Peaceful and spacious park in the Vale of York
  • Nine miles from York via the White Rose cycle route
  • Within 10 minutes' drive of the pub in Great Ouseburn
Picture yourself in a classic English scene, basking with a drink to the pleasing thunk of leather hitting willow as you gaze out over the cricket green, followed by a relaxing stroll through pretty woods and water meadows. Should the above image capture your imagination, you'll likely approve of the setting at The Alders Caravan Park, on a working farm in the village of Alne and surrounded by North Yorkshire's gorgeous countryside. This is a good base for woodland walks and wildlife spotting… and, of course, the aforementioned cricket, which takes place on the farm. This peaceful and spacious park has been kitted out with excellent facilities, including two smart, modern (and pleasingly warm) shower blocks, a roomy covered washing-up area and a launderette with washing machine, tumble dryer and iron to keep your clobber in good nick. Barbecues are welcome on site, and at their finest when accompanied by beef, lamb or free-range eggs from the site's farm shop.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Idyllic location in a beautiful part of North Yorkshire. Very friendly and helpful staff and the added bonus of having a cricket club in their fields. We made an impromptu visit and had drinks and a bbq and the bar staff were very welcoming.

Disliked Nothing:
