 Brilliant site with multiple easy access to York City.
Bus stop 5 minutes walk, cycle or walk via the cycle path or use the park and ride into the city.
The site is very well maintained. Excellent and very clean unisex toilet & shower block.
Highly recommend.

Lovely campsite. Just down off the A19, despite being close to main road not too noisy.
Bus stop at the top of the road 5 min walk straight into the centre of York. Hickory's 20 min walk from site had a lovely meal.
Facilities on the site very clean and modern.
Would definitely recommend for a convenient stop to visit York.

Along with friends in their own Motorhome we have recently spent a lovely four night stay at Grantchester. All communications with Lisa were excellent and she introduced herself to us a short time after our arrival but very much left all campers to it afterwards which was great.
The small site was ideal for our needs with good sized pitches and a great unisex toilet/shower block which was always kept immaculately clean.
Pitch costs at £29 a night including 10amp electric was very reasonable particularly as the site is only a few miles outside of York itself.
Access into the city was either walking along a very pleasant cycle path or alternatively a Bus Stop was nearby. It was a very peaceful and tranquil campsite which we will most certainly look to stay at again the next time we are in the area.
Thanks so much Lisa & Team !

Booked last minute for 2 nights. Lovely site, good facilities.
Lisa was most helpful when booking and on arrival.
Cycle Path 200m to cycle into York and beyond. Most of it runs along the river. There is a bus that also runs into York.
Definitely be back.

The site felt peaceful even though it is close to a busy road, very easy to find and access.
Good bus routes and the national cycle network to get into the city centre.
The owner was friendly and helpful, the site is well maintained and the toilets and showers were kept very clean.
We do recommend and we plan to use the site again when we return to York

We have stayed here a few times in the past and as always this visit did not disappoint, Lisa as always was helpful and very pleasant.
Toilets and showers are always immaculate. Heavy rain this time meant the site was waterlogged, however, the gravel pitches were fine.
Lisa advised before hand about the amount of water in case we decided to cancel, we are glad we didn't cancel as the waterlogged site was not really a problem if you didn't drive on the grass.
The site is ideal for getting into the city with a bus service just outside the site, or park and ride a few minutes drive.
Lisa welcomed us with a nice Christmas gift, a nice touch, Thank you.
We will be returning.

We booked a one night break at this site which we picked due to the location - near to Beningborough Hall and York.
There was a warm, friendly welcome, the site is quite small but the plots are well marked out and are level.
The unisex bathroom was something a bit different, I didn’t mind it but I can imagine some may feel uncomfortable.
We got the bus into York and then back again on our first day, followed by a short drive to the Wetherby Whaler for tea.
We had noticed train noises during the day and evening but there was no disturbance overnight.
Overall we enjoyed our visit, I expect in warmer months we would make use of the easy cycle into York, and access to the surrounding countryside.

Very well situated site for cycling, walking or getting the bus into York.
There seems to be a lot of pitches in a small area so it may feel cramped when full. Toilet block was always clean with adequate water temperature.
There is a notice board in the block but with no tourist info. Even bus times/ numbers would be a help together with info where to pick the path up into York.
The site is on a small lane off of the A19. Together with the nearby rail line it is quite noisy, especially rush hour on the A19.
Normally on private sites you see the owners out and about around the site. Not so during our stay.
Pub opposite the end of the lane has been closed for years and the Greene King one down the main rd closed down while we were there.
Small shop in Skelton for essentials.

First expedition as new caravaners.
Lovely site with warm welcome and even loaned a longer cable to reach electricity point.
Dog friendly with a lovely 4 mile riverside walk into the heart of York, or, bus stops 100 yards away!
Facilities spotless too.
Would definitely return for short breaks.

2nd time we have stayed here, its a lovely site with a lovely lady owner who is very helpful.
Shower block is nice and clean although only 2 showers, this wasn't a problem for us as the site was quiet.
Bus into york a couple of minutes from the site although it does stop running around 6pm.
The park and ride is about a 15 minute walk away but this runs until late at night.
Will stay again when back in York.
