What customers say
The Alders is a beautifully maintained and peaceful campsite praised for its spacious pitches, clean facilities, and friendly, helpful staff. Guests enjoyed the rural setting with farm animals and found it a great base for exploring the local area. The on-site cafe and nearby cricket club were also highlights. While most experiences were overwhelmingly positive, a few minor points were raised regarding occasional noise and the limited opening hours of the cafe on certain days.

Camping pod (five person)
Liked We had a wonderful weekend in the camping pod. The pod was clean and spacious and has lots of space to sit and eat. It’s a beautiful farm with lots of animals and wildlife, little woodland walks and plenty of grass for my son to play. We enjoyed lunch at the cafe on site and it was delicious. Plenty of washing facilities in walking distance. All of the staff are friendly and very helpful. We’d love to stay again next summer

We'd love you to come and stay again next summer too!

Liked We stayed in a pod with a 7, 6 and nearly 2 year old. Very clean, quiet and safe for children. They loved the animals on the farm and the cafe for ice cream. We visited the park within walking distance and stockeld park. Would love to come back and stay longer, thankyou

A lovely site , highly recommended , short distance to York
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked A lovely quiet , clean site , clean toilet / shower block , a grassy walk around the site , a cafe on site unfortunately we didn't get round to trying it out but it looked nice inside . definitely a site to revisit
Disliked Unfortunately a regular visitor who stored their caravan on site and also had his favourite pitch it would seem decided that he doesn't need to keep his dog on a lead ( even though there are signs everywhere and we were also told on arrival )and when it attacked both myself and my dog( who was on a short lead) proceeded in hurling abuse at us .
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your stay with us. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and would be happy to visit us again.
However I am very sorry to hear about the incident with the dog and wish that I had known about this at the time so that we could have addressed the issue. As you quite rightly point out, we try and prevent incidents like this happening at all costs. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
Best wishes from The Alders Team.
Overall the stay here with my 2 children was great!

Disliked The cafe is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday which we only found out through the paperwork given on arrival.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We are delighted that you and your children enjoyed your stay with us.
And thank you for the feedback about the cafe opening hours - we will make sure that the opening hours are included in the booking terms and conditions.Hopefully you managed to visit our cafe on the other days that you were with us.
Best wishes from The Alders Team.
