What customers say
This campsite is praised for its excellent location in a nice village, with a bus stop directly outside providing easy access to York. Guests highlight the very tasty food and excellent service at the accompanying pub. Staff are described as friendly and helpful. However, some visitors found the parking fee of £20 to be expensive, particularly when no facilities were available. One review noted a limited pub opening, affecting their evening plans.

Liked Staff were so friendly here, very welcoming. Pub closed early, gate shut so felt safe. Other campers in. Great meal, no charge for night when eating at pub - bonus we didn’t realise. Able to use very clean toilet facilities in pub.
Disliked Nothing to dislike here.

Non-electric gravel and hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked Ruhig
Disliked Sehr knapper und nicht besonders freundlichlicher Empfang. Obwohl wir extra den Platz gebucht haben, wegen dem dazugehörigen Pub um nach einer langen Fahrt noch einen gemütlichen Abend mit einem Essen ausklingen zu lassen war dies nicht möglich, da nur für Getränke geöffnet war. Wir haben also den restlichen Abend damit verbracht etwas zu essen zu bekommen, was in der Umgebung fast unmöglich war. Der Platz selbst ist einfach ein kleiner Hinterhofparkplatz und somit mit 20 Pfund sehr überteuert.
