What customers say
This is a beautifully maintained, clean, and peaceful riverside site with excellent modern shower and toilet facilities, frequently described as the best ever experienced. Guests appreciate the convenient location for visiting York via walk, bus, or river taxi. Minor points raised include limited washing-up sinks, occasional WiFi issues, and occasional noise from nearby works, with some noting the restaurant has limited opening hours.

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite (medium, no awning)
Liked 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.
Disliked 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.

Liked A very well maintained clean peaceful site .
Disliked Should have separate wash cubicles in the toilet/shower blocks and a path way from each pitch for wheel chairs instead of a stoned area.

V Good location/site but just lacks that final touch
Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite (medium, no awning)
Liked Very nice clean, tidy site. ( including toilet and showrs) Good location for bus trip to York. And "The Bosun" does a great Sunday lunch.
Disliked Lack of anybody to seek additional information.Want a bus time? Send an email.
Discuss showers that are too hot..send an email.
The cost of a pitch might suggest an open office that rather than one open occasionally.
But never when you go and check!
And then the Ferry does not run Tuesdays end September...no.good if you have booked Sunday lunch.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your feedback Mike - we’re so pleased you enjoyed the clean, well-kept site, our facilities, and the convenience of getting into York. And it’s great to hear you enjoyed Sunday lunch at Bosun’s!
As a small site, we don’t staff the office full-time, but we do provide a dedicated phone number for guests and have team members based nearby who are always available to help with enquiries. We’re working on making that clearer so guests know how to reach us during their stay.
Regarding the Riverbus, it’s operated by our partner, City Cruises, and runs to and from our site on weekends throughout the summer, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays during school holidays.
Thanks again for your comments — they help us improve, and we hope to welcome you back.
