What customers say
Well-kept adults-only spot, spotless facilities (even underfloor heated washrooms). Guests rave about roomy pitches, ace staff, bar & pizza van. Handy for York, though a car's handy for local shops. Occasional WiFi hiccups noted.

Mitchell's Field powered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked The facility’s were very good showers and wash room very clean and warm , bar was welcoming and friendly with a lovely pizza van out side . Pitch had loads of space with lovely views . Nice little nature walk around the outsides of the camp .
Disliked Unfortunately we found the camping field far to open with no storm ( David ) shelter at all you really are wide open . There are no local bus routes going past the site .

All in all, a great site and a lovely stay!
Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Very spacious and level pitches, friendly staff, cute little on site bar with decent prices, quiet site, very clean and modern toilets and showers with a (rarely found at campsites!) caddy to hang your washing stuff, showers are push button type, and stay on for approx 30 seconds each time which is perfectly adequate for each step of showering.
Wifi worked fine for us on Pitch 13 when we were sitting outside or in our van with the door open, less so when closed, but that's ok with us anyway as we don't go away to use the internet.
Disliked We did request a pitch near the facilities due to minor mobility issues, but this sadly wasn't granted, despite us booking in January, arriving at 2pm and the nearer pitches being free upon arrival. Presumably they were booked by returning guests.
That said, it is only a fairly small site so it wasn't a big issue, just something to bear in mind if you do have more serious mobility issues.
Local bus services to York, Malton etc are almost non existent (not the site's fault of course!) but something to consider if you can't/don't want to drive around.
