What customers say

Tidy riverside spot near York. Praised for new, stylish facilities, especially showers/toilets. Well-kept pitches, easy check-in. Mostly peaceful, though WiFi can be spotty and wash-up areas limited. Cafe/ferry hours vary. Minor gripes: cubicle ventilation, occasional work noise.

Kerstin Taniguchi A.

Powered grass and gravel motorhome site (XL, no awning)

Liked The surroundings, cleaningness, the opportunity of going by boat to York, the bathrooms with glass divisions, facility to book and information provided.

Disliked I liked everything. Maybe a bench/chair in the shower room would be nice. Wi-fi could be better.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your kind review Kerstin! We're really pleased you enjoyed the peaceful surroundings, clean facilities, and the unique boat trip into York. It’s great to hear the bathrooms and booking process made a positive impression too.

We appreciate your helpful suggestions—adding a bench in the shower room is a great idea and we are continually considering improvements, and while the Wi-Fi is generally reliable, we’ll ask our technical team to ensure it’s working at its very best.

We hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing stay by the river!

Bryony H.

Powered grass and gravel caravan site (small)

Liked Really beautiful brand new facilities! Such a treat - felt more like a boutique hotel than a touring site.
Fantastic location on the riverside, very pretty walks right on site. Incredibly easy access from the A64.

Disliked Awkward pitch to get on/off with a caravan and staff were not contactable on arrival but all OK in the end.

We’re delighted you enjoyed our brand-new facilities — it’s wonderful to hear they felt more like a boutique hotel than a touring site. Our riverside location really is something special, and we’re glad you had the chance to enjoy the scenic walks and found access from the A64 so convenient.

We appreciate your note about the pitch access and staff availability on arrival. We're always working to improve the guest experience, and your comments help us do just that. We're pleased everything worked out in the end and hope your stay was relaxing and memorable.

Melody L.

Liked Lovely setting and close by to the centre of York.

Disliked Disappointed that the boat ferry into York was not running on the days we were there.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your kind feedback Melody. We're so pleased you enjoyed the peaceful setting and our convenient location near the centre of York.

We’re sorry the River Taxi wasn’t operating during your stay. It’s run by a trusted partner and provided as a service to both our guests and the local community. While we don’t control the schedule, it does operate more frequently during school holidays.

We hope this didn’t detract too much from your visit, and we’d love to welcome you back again soon.
