  • Peaceful and spacious park in the Vale of York
  • Nine miles from York via the White Rose cycle route
  • A short stroll from the country inn in the village of Alne
Picture yourself in a quintessentially English scene, basking with a drink to the pleasing thunk of leather hitting willow as you gaze out over the cricket green, followed by a relaxing stroll through gorgeous sun-dappled woods and water meadows. Should the above image capture your imagination, you'll likely approve of the setting of The Alders Caravan Park, on a working farm in the village of Alne and surrounded by North Yorkshire's gorgeous countryside. This place is a fab base for woodland walks and wildlife spotting… and of course the aforementioned cricket, which takes place on the farm. This peaceful and spacious park has been kitted out with excellent facilities, including two smart modern (and pleasingly warm) shower blocks, a roomy covered washing-up area and a launderette with washing machine, tumble dryer and iron to keep your clobber in good nick. Barbecues are welcome on site, and at their finest when accompanied by beef, lamb or free-range eggs from the site's farm shop.

What customers say

A lovely, quiet, spacious park with spotless amenities. Guests rave about the friendly staff, big pitches, and calm vibe. The cafe and closeness to York are big bonuses. Wi-Fi can be patchy and the pub's more food-focused. Great for a chill holiday.

Liked Pitch size was excellent and very peaceful, staff were very helpful. Close to several villages and towns and easy bus journey into York. Great area to cycle as many quiet back roads to get about. Cricket club right next to farm so enjoyed watching the local side in a couple of games.

Liked Friendly welcome.Lovely site with good spaced pitches.Farm shop for coffee & breakfast.

Disliked Only minor niggles but electric points few & far between ,so we had to invade someone else's space to remove our cable.Also could do with dog poop bins around site.The village pub is run as a restaurant & only opens when there's bookings.Not the sites fault but just too make people aware!

Camping pod (five person)

Liked Return visit to The Alders. Camping without the tent. Lovely camp site with extremely clean facilities.
Pods are warm and have a heater provided if it does become cold. The space in front of the pods is safe for children to play and have a great shelter with tables and seating.

Disliked Nothing

Local attractions

In less than half an hour, guests will find all sorts of things to do: take to two wheels for a trip to York (nine miles down the White Rose Cycle Route), which is packed with brilliant stuff including the minster and Jorvik Viking Centre; steam through the North York Moors on a vintage train, or explore the wildlife and scenery of the Yorkshire Dales via Shanks' pony… Holidaymakers can revisit Brideshead at Castle Howard palace and gardens, be transported back to the sights and sounds of World War Two at the Eden Camp Museum, and take in the grand National Trust mansions of Beningbrough Hall and Nunnington Hall, or the stunning walled gardens at Helmsley. If the kids start being beastly, you can always cart them off to the Flamingo Land zoo and theme park. This being Yorkshire, you're never far from a bonny watering hole – and there are some cracking food pubs or inns nearby, including Aldwark Arms at Aldwark and The Blue Bell in Alne. Visitors can also see how the local ales are made at the Black Sheep Brewery, which naturally offers lots of samples of its award-winning brews.
