The site

  • Dog-friendly adults-only site with a lake seven miles from York
  • Peaceful countryside location near cycling tracks to York and Selby
  • Close to dog-friendly pubs in nearby villages; bus service outside
Whether your holiday plans tend to include peaceful cycles, wildlife spotting or memorable meals out in local pubs, Old Pasture Park is a good base for all of these sorts of things. This peaceful North Yorkshire countryside escape is an adults-only site with its own lake seven miles from York city centre. For pedals there, there’s a cycling track one and a half miles out from the site, and it leads to Selby in the other direction, a splendid little market town with a medieval abbey and 15th-century gatehouse. Dogs are welcome to join you on your break here and handily, the lake, though not available for fishing, has a path that’s just the thing for the walkies. There’s also Skipwith Common National Nature Reserve for more dog walks 15 minutes' drive away. As for mealtimes, there are dog-friendly pubs in the surrounding villages, all a short drive away. Keep your eyes peeled for the wildlife that uses the site's lake as their habitat. Ducks, oystercatchers and moorhens are some frequent visitors, but indeed, they are not the only animals around this place. Being a working farm, the fields surrounding the park are home to a medium-sized herd of suckler cows and their calves in the summer months. When you’re ready to get out and about, there’s a fair choice of destinations, from two golf courses within around seven miles of the site to the historic York city centre (20 minutes’ drive), with its minster, the Shambles street and homemade fudge shops. To get around, there’s a handy bus service 40 metres from the site entrance.

Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site

Liked: Lovely friendly welcome, nice people and a nice clean farm setting with level grass and gravel pitches. There’s a pretty moonlit lake with lakeside cabins for those who like a bit of luxury. Great to see recycling bins on site.

Disliked: Toilet and shower facilities would have been a bonus, but we managed fine.

Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site

Liked: Stayed here a few times. Still love to come back for the peace and quiet and flat pitches. The site is very clean and well kept by the friendly owners. Sam is always on hand to great you on arrival and nearby if you have any problems. There is also a cycling route nearby and close to pubs with in 10 minutes bike ride or 5 minutes by car.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike.

Fully-serviced grass caravan site

Liked: Liked everything, small site with no amenities but we knew before booking. Very quiet although on a farm but also very clean entrance through farm yard. Large pitches all with water electric and drainage. A must if you have your own toilet and shower.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike as long as you know there are no showers/ toilets.

Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site

Liked: Love the peace and tranquility you find here at Old Pasture Park! The size of the site is perfect, with both hardstanding and grass pitches. Loads of space at each position too! The site is spotless, the pitches are nearly mown and the gravel hard standing pitches are well maintained. You'll find horses to one side, a dense woodland to another and this time around we even had the pleasure of seeing newly born calves, sat with their doting Mum. In terms of facilities, there may not be a toilet/shower block, however I didn't miss this with a full bathroom in the caravan! There are easily accessible waste and recycling bins, plus chemical toilet emptying unit and grey waste drain too. There is a gorgeous lake with 3 Shepherds huts surrounding it, plus a lovely footpath around it. The area is well maintained and peaceful, plus lovely to simply walk the dogs around. The owners are great, always willing to lend a hand if you need help and offer advice on what to find in the surrounding area. This definitely ensures you feel valued as a customer and I have to say, this is the second time we've been this year!

Disliked: Nothing!!!!!

Local attractions

How to commence your holiday in North Yorkshire? Seeing what bargains you can hunt down in the Designer Outlet York (10 minutes’ drive) or a swimming, gym or cycling session in the cool York Sport Village (20 minutes)? Perhaps searching for wildfowl, insects and other animals or birds around the Wheldrake Ings Nature Reserve (15 minutes)? There are a lot of historic things to see around York and Selby, but to see aircraft and control towers from older times, Yorkshire Air Museum & Allied Air Forces Memorial (20 minutes) is also a short drive away. Make a hobby of wildlife spotting if you like – with RSPB Fairburn Ings (25 minutes) and RSPB St Aidan's Nature Park (35 minutes) within reach, there are a variety of landscapes around. If you fancy somewhere you can walk to close by too, you won’t have to take too much time out to visit the family-owned Stillingfleet Lodge Gardens (15 minutes’ walk), where there’s a plant nursery, pond, plenty of pretty plants and visiting wildlife like birds and bees.
