Power optional grass caravan site (members only)
Liked: Good size pitcher's all grass but very good drainage as it rained heavy all night and could not tell in the morning dry as a bone.Very friendly staff,good information explained about the bus routes and places to visit, easy to go to York and cheep . Also a shed with information leaflets,easy to get water and disposal point enjoyed it lovely little site.
Disliked: No toilets and showers
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Your review is greatly appreciated. The grass field is sandy and so all surface water drains away quickly. Even in the winter months we can stay open until early December which is great for visitors to the famous York Christmas markets and Ice Skating. Hope we can welcome you another time. Kind regards Gina and Gary

Liked: The site was extremely easy to find and driving into the site was also very easy with lots of space. Gina very kindly texted details of codes and our pitch number as we were late arriving. All the information we needed was available.
The site was so quiet and pitches lovely and spacious. We spent hours watching wild rabbits hopping around nibbling on the grass! Their babies were chasing each other and playing!
We took our bikes and thoroughly enjoyed cycling into York on both days of our stay. We took the main route into York but found a cycle route back which was longer but very quiet. The site is not far from the city centre either by road or by bike so a perfect location for us.
We would definitely recommend this lovely place and will definitely book again.
Disliked: nothing at all!

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review, it really does describe the feel of the site and the ease in which you can travel into and around York by bus or bike - we are just a few minutes from the famous cyle route 65. Look forward to welcoming you back to stay. Kind regards Gina and Gary

Liked: Well laid out pitches, we loved the simplicity of the site as water, CDP & grey waste is all we wanted.

Liked: Loved this site. Very welcoming hosts. Bus stop into York 2 min walk away. Even though we had rain/snow the pitches handled the weather very well.
Will definitely return 100%

From the manager: Delighted you will return again, we look forward to welcoming you to stay - hopefully with less rain next time! As you say our field is sandy allowing surface water to drain very quickly - comes in handy with some of our autumn/winters :) Kind regards Gina and Gary

Liked: Small, quiet site. Brilliant location for a short bus trip into York. Buses run regularly all day until late at night. Well organised waste/water facilities. This was my first ever campervan trip. Gary, the site owner was brilliant on arrival and helped me set everything up and level my van. The gate to the field also has a lock so I felt very secure in my van as a solo traveller. Would absolutely stay again.
Disliked: It's not a dislike as such but the main road is not too far away. You can hear it, if you try really hard 😃. It did not bother me or my dogs at all. The plus side of the main road means it's not far to walk to the bus stop.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: It was lovely to meet you and help out on your first campervan trip, hopfully the first of many. Great to hear you felt secure with the code locked gate and would stay again. We open for booking March 2025. Kind regards Gina and Gary
