What customers say
This is a peaceful, clean, and well-maintained adult-only campsite, praised for its convenient location for exploring York, with a bus stop right outside. Facilities, particularly the clean bathrooms with hot water, are frequently highlighted. Visitors enjoyed the pondside pitches and on-site cafe. Some reviewers noted a long walk to facilities, temperamental showers, and issues with Wi-Fi not reaching pitches. A few experienced problems with tent pitching and facility cleanliness.

Would highly recommend!
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Really lovely site, lots of facilities and a great breakfast in the cafe. Really likes the walks at the end of the site and how tranquil it was. Especially as it’s only a few minutes away from Clifton Moor, which is great for shopping and food. Definite highlight was it being adult only too
Disliked Minor moan that it was a really long walk for me to the shower/toilet block as I’m disabled.
