What customers say
This campsite is praised for its spacious, level pitches and peaceful rural location, offering a great base for visiting York. Guests frequently highlight the clean facilities, friendly staff and the on-site bar. Children enjoy the play park and open spaces. However, some visitors have noted issues with the cleanliness and quantity of toilets, particularly during busy periods, and occasional noise disturbance. The approach road is described as bumpy.

If a number is given surely it should be answered.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Loved the location and so clean.
Had a lovely walk to the Ship Inn.
Disliked Around 11pm another guest started arguing. It was very abusive and children crying. Tried to call the numbers on the website but no answer. Someone else must have called the police. Around 1.30am finally went quiet. Spoilt our night and next day as so tired.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Clean toilets and showers, remote and nice place, easy to find. Bbq allowed, parking allowed by the pitch.
Disliked No Quiet Hours in place as a campsite rule. People were still singing and drinking late at night. A few people were arguing/fighting from around 11pm to midnight with no staff intervention.
