What customers say
This spotless riverside spot near York is praised for its beautiful, peaceful setting and excellent modern showers. Pitches are well-kept. Minor issues include limited dishwashing areas, occasional shower cubicle ventilation problems, intermittent WiFi, and cafe/bar hours. Some heard noise from a water treatment plant.

Liked Beautiful location nice facilities
Disliked Quality toilet/ swr block but Lack of ventilation in toilet block wc cubicles causes them to over heat and retain unwanted odours
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you, George, for your feedback. We're really glad you enjoyed the beautiful location and appreciated the facilities.
We appreciate you pointing out the ventilation issue in the toilet block cubicles. While the facilities are relatively new, we recognise that airflow is important for comfort and hygiene, and your comment highlights an area we can definitely improve. We'll be reviewing this with our maintenance team to explore possible solutions.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite (no awning, small)
Liked Location, pitches and the smartness of the main site area. Staff member on arrival very helpful (thank you)
Disliked Not enough wash up areas that we could see, shower rooms extremely warm with little ventilation. One of the flag stones on the steps from the shower area is loose and tips up, someone will get seriously injured if that is not fixed asap, was not able to find anyone to report this to during our stay.

From the manager: Thank you, Mark, for your detailed feedback. We're really pleased to hear you enjoyed the location, the quality of the pitches, and the overall presentation of the site. It's also great to know our team member made a positive impression on arrival—I'll be sure to pass that on.
We appreciate you highlighting the areas where we can improve. The ventilation in the shower rooms and the number of wash-up areas are both things we're actively reviewing as part of ongoing site improvements. Most importantly, thank you for flagging the loose flagstone near the shower block steps. That’s a serious safety concern, and we’ll make sure it’s addressed immediately.
We’re sorry you weren’t able to find someone to report it to during your stay—our team is always available by phone, and we’re looking at ways to make that clearer to guests on arrival.
Thanks again for your helpful comments, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
