What customers say
A chilled, roomy spot with welcoming owners, especially Val. Enjoyed the nature & village access. Basic but clean facilities, upgrades planned. Some traffic noise & fewer loos/showers when busy. Fire pits to hire.

OK stay for a night or two, if you are not precious about facilities
Unpowered grass site
Liked Fairly quiet, spacious stay. Lovely local pub down the road (1mile walk)
Disliked Only one toilet had a toilet seat out of the 2, and even that was broken! The shower was constantly locked after trying several times throughout our stay. Disappointing as we booked due to having these facilities.

From the manager: Hi Rebbecca sorry about your stay , when we opened on wed both toilet seats were intact as they had been done before opening i am very sorry about this .with it being busy and easter we could not get the plumber out they are now replaced with having the grass cut the amount of footfall made it inpossible to keep up with it but i assure you my husband tried many thanks for your feedback .Val x
Didn’t expect much for 20pn but usable facilities would have been nice
Unpowered grass site
Liked Plenty of space to pitch up, beautiful dark skies for star gazing
Disliked Pitch near the road was noisy at night, showers had no privacy and drains were blocked and the neither of the 2 toilets had toilet seats or toilet roll.
Dogs off lead and load music from other campers
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Sorry about that the toilet seats they were done before we opened on wed ,if you had rung me about loud music i would have sorted it .dogs also as this is not on we are very strict about dogs and have a sign up, also they are told on arrival if you could private message me which they were please Val x
Great for the price
Powered grass site
Liked Really friendly owners and large pitch space, toilets and showers were clean.
The site is only 20 mins from York
Disliked Although very clean the toilets and showers were limited and only 1 of the 2 toilets had a seat and that wasn't fixed on
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hi thankyou for your comments i am sorry about the toilet seats but they was all intact when we opened ,they are again all intact goodnrss knows for how long . We have a planning application in to build a toilet block .see you again hopefully x
Give the site a wide berth
Powered grass site
Liked You can have a fire , leaving
Disliked Toilets are very small, one Toliet seat missing on arrival the other off the next day, the step up into the Toliet is rather high not good if you had a disability. Val was rather abrupt that I'd forgotten the cover that attaches my awning to the camper . Then proceed to tell me I was taken up to much pitch space . On pitch up it says 7m x10m I was no where near that . I got the feeling if your face fits you can do what you want ! Like the caravans opposite me having a gazebo up , the tent at the end of us been twice the size , nothing said . I've never felt so unwelcome on a site in all the time I've been camping .

From the manager: Hi thankyou for the review the toilet seats were both on on the day we opened wed as we had them done by our plumber ,they are the same size as any other toilets, we could not get a plumber out over easter.the people in the other feild paid for there gazebo s i only asked you to move your windbreakers in also a awning is attached to your van which yours was not . I do not measure caravan s the large tents pay extra .you had a firepit given to you when you asked for one , when i said hello to you you ignored me no one is treated differant i am sorry you felt that way and appoligize.
A great little site in easy reach of York. Would definitely return
Unpowered grass site
Liked - Polite welcome by the owner to get checked in and really welcoming to my young son
- Large open field with choice over where to pitch
- Toilet and showers more than amenable for a short stay
- One of very few campsites that permit use of your own firepit
- Easy access to York and surrounds
Disliked Nothing - would happily return
