What customers say

Peaceful, well-spaced site, level pitches with water/electric. Clean facilities, great showers, friendly staff. Lovely scenery, good dog walks by lakes, near Pocklington. Minor points: grey water disposal distance, thistles, one septic tank mention.

Jill T.

Powered grass motorhome site

Liked •Easy self check-in with security gate code provided by email.
• Quiet, peaceful site with plenty of wildlife.
• Toilets and showers were clean.
• Local info, books, DVDs, and games available in the washing-up area.
• Friendly owner came round to check everything was okay.
• lovely Woodland walk nearby.
• Fishing pond still usable (owner has plans to improve).

Disliked More observations than dislikes

• If pitched at number 38, you’ll need a very long extension cable (over 35m) for the electric.
• Toilets/showers could be improved with clear occupied signs to avoid confusion.
• Ponds are quite overgrown at the moment, though still usable and the owner has plans to improve.

The location is quite remote, which wasn’t ideal for us without our own transport in a motorhome. Taxis were costly, Uber unreliable, and walking to nearby village/town sketchy on main unlit road.

Allan H.

Powered concrete slab caravan site (XL, waterside)

Liked large pitch. Quiet site. Toilets and showers clean. secure site

Disliked Toilet waste goes into a big tank that you unscrew a lid and see and smell everyone's waste. Everywhere else I have ever been has a hole in the floor or a toilet you put waste in. Bins are not clearly marked with general or recycling. Dog walking area full of thistles so my dog didn't walk there. No dog waste bins in dog walking area

Local attractions

Looking for a low-key way to keep the kids entertained? Let them pootle about the pool at the local leisure centre (10 minutes' drive). If you're here in the summer, you may also want to give York Maze (10 minutes) a spin – alongside the maze, there's thrice-daily pig racing to sweeten the deal. After rambunctious farmyard thrills a calmer green space might be in order. If that's the case, try Burnby Hall Gardens (10 minutes), a splendidly scenic expanse of landscaped grounds best known for its cracking collection of lilies (you can also buy fish food, throw a handful into the lake and marvel at the the bubbling and splashing that follows). Finally, no trip to Old York Forest would be complete without a trip to old York city (25 minutes) – check out the Jorvik Viking Centre's animatronic take on Viking Britain, stroll past the overhanging timber-clad houses of the Shambles or visit York's Chocolate Story, a museum that explores the city's long-standing connection to the sweet stuff.
