From the manager: Hi Jess thankyou for the fab reveiw , we are waiting planning for a new block so keep putting off a sink /showers and toilets fingers crossed we have sorted something for next season . Val and John xx

Liked We had a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend this campsite!

Val, the owner, was absolutely lovely and made us feel really welcome from the moment we arrived. She checked in with us regularly to make sure everything was okay, gave us some really helpful recommendations for places to visit, and even provided us with a fire pit to make our stay that little bit more special.

The campsite itself has lots of space, which meant it never felt crowded, and it was incredibly peaceful and quiet. It was also lovely to feel so safe and comfortable there - even when we had a pretty dramatic thunderstorm!

There were plenty of toilets and showers available, and we rarely had to wait to use them. Everything was really convenient without taking away from the feeling of being away from it all.

The location is great too, with a shop and pub nearby, while also being a brilliant base for getting out and exploring. There are plenty of opportunities for walks, days out and little adventures in the surrounding area.

Overall, it was exactly what we wanted from a campsite: peaceful, spacious, friendly and relaxed. Val really goes above and beyond to make sure her guests have a great stay, and we’d happily come back again!

From the manager: Thankyou for a fantastic review , i am so glad you had a fab time both of you , you are welcome back anytime , take care Val and John xxx

Liked I liked the friendliness of the owner Val, she was so welcoming and when we realised we had forgotten the playing cards she gave us a pack to use and also UNO which we had also forgotten. She came and had a chat everyday too. The view were pleasant overlooking a horse paddock and flowing fields. Everything what you’d need to decompress. The facilities are basic but they were really clean. This was my son’s first time camping and he loved it. We will definitely be going back. Maybe even in a couple of weeks weather permitting.

Disliked Nothing I disliked at all. There is no signal though that doesn’t matter as you are out in the countryside and that’s to be expected. My son completely let go of his phone and iPad and relished in it.

Liked It was nice quiet site it was very relaxing. Val how ran it was lovely she did walks around to see if every one was ok which I thought was a nice touch. It was not far to get to york some very nice villages around. We would go again to this site

Disliked I would say it was a dislike but the toilet and shower could do with an update.
Only 3 toilet and two showers we didn't have a problem using them but it the site was a busier there could be a bit of waiting time to use them.

Liked Lovely large pitch .An easy walk into the village for a drink in the local pub. Enjoyed a meal in the Cantonese Restaurant also .Lovely food .
Val the owner is wonderful, friendly and helpful 😊. Even visiting each pitch to see if you're ok .Easy drive to Rawcliffe to use the park and ride into York City Centre.

Disliked Not really a dislike ,but would prefer separate Male/female toilets/showers .Val did explain that they are awaiting planning permission to improve the facilities in the future.

From the manager: Hi thankyou for the fantastic reveiw i am so glad you enjoyed ,it was loverly to meet you all ,hope you come back next year Val and John xx

Liked Nice location, plenty of space. Friendly host.

Disliked Facilities are very outdated and with a lot of issues - not enough showers, leaky pipes, showers blocking up during use and flooding the block, no washing up facility. I realise that the owner is awaiting permission for new shower block etc but until that's sorted, the current facilities could really do with some maintenance and tidy.

From the manager: Hi Charlotte thankyou for the fab reveiw , love seeing you all hope the kids behaved on way home and at least we had no broken arms this year , see you next year take care and give them a cuddle off me love Val and John xxxx

Liked Quiet site with woodland walks nearby perfect for letting the dog run and explore. Plenty of room on a large field and hook up available on a separate field with hedges. The owners restrict the number of bookings so it's unlikely to be crowded. Drinking water and waste disposal. Clean showers and toilets. The owners are friendly and helpful.

Disliked Toilets and showers need updating. I understand that there is a planning application in to build a toilet and shower block with caretakers accommodation. Let's hope they get on and approved it.

From the manager: Hi thankyou for review , heres hoping we get planning but it will take some time . Val and John x

Liked As many other reviewers have said, a back to basics site with the friendliest most pleasant attentive (but by no means in your face!) owner Val. Great value as our pitstop stay before going to a local festival.

Disliked Data reception poor ( not the campsites responsibility of course, but worth knowing)
Very little shade..also worth knowing in case of a heatwave like the one we experienced on 13.8.26. it was at least 36° the day we were there 🥵
