Description
Pitches: 16
Welcome to Approach Farm Caravan Site
A peaceful, family-run site on a working Yorkshire farm.
For over 30 years, the Gowthorpe family has welcomed guests. Today, Angus and Kerry continue the tradition started by Margaret and Peter, offering a quiet and relaxing escape just 7 miles south of the historic city of York.
Our Pitches:
Set on a well maintained 1.25-acre grass field, our site is designed for those who value peace and simplicity. The grass is mown frequently and hedge trimmed after bird nesting season. The site is kept tidy, but not perfectly manicured. Working with nature wherever possible is the ethos that underpins our farming business, and this is extended to our caravan site by making space for nature through leaving grasses and foliage to grow within hedge bottoms, with the exception of nettles and thistles, which are spot treated around the caravan site.
11 Electric Hook-up Pitches (Touring caravans and motorhomes)
2 Non-Electric Pitches
5 Seasonal Pitches (fully booked for 2026)
On-site Facilities: While we do not have a shower block, a toilet is available for guest use a short walk from the site.
Location & Local Amenities
We are perfectly positioned for exploring both the countryside and the city:
Riccall Village (0.5 miles): A short walk away, featuring local shops, cozy pubs, a cafe, a takeaway, and an excellent Italian restaurant.

Easy Transport: A bus stop is located just 500m from the site with a regular service to York and Selby.

Nature nearby: Beautiful woodland and riverside paths are just a few minutes` drive from our gates.
