The Riverfront York

Positiv Great site with amazing facilities. The restaurant on site was fully booked with it being Mother’s Day however the Cafe was open and we had some great wraps. Everything was clean and it was lovely and peaceful. Definitely one of the best sites I’ve stayed at.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. It’s wonderful to hear that everything about your stay made a positive impression - from the helpful team and beautiful riverside setting to the facilities, walks and, of course, Bosun's, our restaurant.
Hearing that there was “nothing to dislike” is the kind of feedback that truly makes our team’s day. We’re really looking forward to welcoming you back to The Riverfront for another brilliant stay.

Positiv The location along the River is lovely, with walks straight from the campsite. Also short walk into the village with pubs, cafe, fish and chips, Coop. Lovely clean bathrooms and the shower was amazing.
Cafe on site with the all weather pods was also a bonus particularly if the weather isn’t great.

Negativ The mens showers ran out of hot water about 8:30 in the morning. I understand it is a family friendly site but kids were noisy until 10pm which isn’t the sites fault but was quite annoying. It is a shame that the restaurant wasn’t dog friendly.

It’s lovely to hear how much you enjoyed the riverside location, the walks straight from the site, the village amenities nearby and the clean facilities and we’re really pleased the café pods added something extra to your stay, especially in less‑than‑perfect weather.
Your feedback about the men’s showers running out of hot water is genuinely helpful. We’re already looking into this to make sure the system keeps up during the morning rush. We want every guest to start their day comfortably, so this is something we’ll address.
We’re also sorry to hear that evening noise affected your stay. While we do aim to keep the site family‑friendly and respectful for everyone, we understand how this can be frustrating and we’ll continue to monitor quiet‑time expectations to keep the atmosphere calm for all guests.
And finally, thank you for mentioning Bosun's - our restaurant. We know the dog‑friendly point matters to many guests, and while Bosun’s isn’t able to accommodate dogs indoors, we do welcome them on Bosun's veranda.
We really appreciate your comments and hope we’ll have the chance to welcome you back for an even better stay next time.

Positiv Absolutely everything.
Lovely site, Pitch, Facilities and area. There is a lovely restaurant on site that we will definitely try next time.
Also short walk away is the woodsman that do lovely food and was informed of another pub further on from that on the trail to Selby.

Positiv Location for walks is good, regular bus service into/from York. (or river taxi/hire boat) Nice local pubs within walking distance. The site is very well run and looked after and facilities modern, and clean. Its set on a beautiful setting next to the river, with a cafe bar and restaurant. We walked into York (1 hour to the park) and took a bus back.

Negativ Young children running around unattended, slamming in and out of toilet facilities etc, and charging around park etc. these particular families were with adults staying together on the site in two separate vans.
