Excellent site especially for young families
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Lovely simple little site. Excellent toilets and showers owners really pleasant and helpful. Enclosed field so very safe environment for taking young children. Feels very rural and quiet ( apart from the combine harvester !!) Great little dairy farm shop a short walk away. Just the site for a young family. Regular bus from the village to York.
Disliked Not really a dislike but no local facilities in the village

Excellent site with great facilities. Friendly and helpful owners.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked We had an amazing 3 night stay at House Martins Camping. Paul and Ruth were very welcoming and gave us lots of tips about the area. The site is the perfect space, lots of room for each pitch. Clean facilities with the addition of a fridge and kettle, which came in very handy with 3 young children. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
Disliked There was nothing we disliked about the campsite.

Welcoming hosts. Exceptionally clean. Plenty of space to play. Flat.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Exceptional site which I would have no hesitation staying at again. Very lovely hosts with immaculate facilities. I liked that it was a small site tucked away. Wife even managed to glimpse some deer in an adjoining field.
Absolutely loads of space in the field to play games. Fridge, kettle and microwave available to use under cover. This made the morning cuppa a bit quicker and the microwave was a handy extra. Electric to charge devices such as phone etc is available in a lockable cupboard if needed.
It's back to basics with no play park or on site shop but we knew that booking and shops are close by (less than 10 minute drive to a sizeable tesco or Sainsbury and smaller local shops are closer). If you want a clean quiet site as a base and ample place for ball games this is ideal.
Easy access to York with Park and Ride or the bus stops just at the end of the street with a bus to York. We used Park and ride as it was quicker.
Probably the best camp site we have stayed at.
Disliked There is nothing to dislike.
