What customers say
This adult-only park gets the tick for its quiet vibe, spick-and-span sites and room to spread out. Sarah, the legend owner, is a ripper and easy to chat with by text. Facilities are basic but spotless, with hot water. Handy spot for checking out Yorkshire's sights. Just a heads-up on a bit of road noise and the gate lock.

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site
Liked This site was exactly where we needed to be in order to have some warranty work carried out on our caravan. The pitches were a decent size with fresh, water waste disposal and electric to each pitch. Helen the site owner was quick to answer our calls and asked that we pay by bank transfer which is absolutely fine with us.
Disliked The facilities although very clean are sadly outdated.For the cost £32.00 per night we expected far better facilities.
The site is close to the A1 and the traffic noise never ceases.
