Date of Visit: May 2007 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Cheryl.mark 91 reviews from this member

 This is the first time we have visited this area. I found this site by using the UKCampsite.Co.Uk search and I am so pleased I visited it. The site is several miles out of York centre, however, the river Ouse is a short walk down a path from the site and the Locks / river boats are there, they do a daily river taxi style trip leaving at 10am un til 4pm, this took 50 mins and the children loved it.

The site is well laid out on grassy/flat pitches, they have an adults only field and family field which I thought was a good idea, we were travelling with a 2 and 3 yr old. There is no play area on site, however, I have to say that it is one of the nicest sites I have stayed on.

The showers were spotless with piped music and the reception had a small but well stocked shop selling newspapers and essentials. The owners were really friendly, I had originally booked the site for easter and had to change it to May bank holiday because of work committments, this was no problem and they did not charge me for this which I was surprised about. 

I would visit this site again it is lovely and the owners deserve credit where credit is due! Great value too considering it was bank holiday. Nothing to complain about only the weather, it rained non stop from Sat night to Monday, but, the designer outlet village came to the rescue for a bit of retail therapy!

 Tentastic! What a fantastic site. We went without EHU and we made the right choice. We were in the far field where you only pitch around the perimeter, which leaves a big area for your kids to play with others. No play area, but you dont need it here. Showers and toilets were cleaned regular and local radio while your in there is great. Really good well stocked shop. Owners are great and dont allow over crowding or noise between 11 and 7.
Nearby Lock is stunning and river taxi into York is well worth it. Local pub is good and only a short walk away and is family friendly. They also do take out pizza should you want a rest from cooking. Aldi, Iceland and Sainsbury express 2 mile up the road towards York. Park and ride very good from the Designer Outlet. Very good alround, we will be going back again soon. Our 7 year old son has been in tears several times since we left.

 Recommended to us for a one night stay on our way back from Whitby and what a lovely site. The owners were so helpful the site was clean and the showers and toilets were immaculate. There is a small shop in the reception which stocks emergency items but sure they would help if you were to find yourself stuck. Nothing it too much trouble. There is an adults only part of the site and we love the piped music in the loos. Park and ride 2 miles away pub down the road. Will be back

 Visited Naburn Lock at the start of May and had an excellent stay. An extremely well run site with very clean toilets and showers. Great open pitches with plenty of grass for playing on. For those wanting to fly a kite, the rally field is perfect if its not in use. The owners have worked hard to create a very special site, well done! Certainly will be visiting again soon. 


Date of Visit: April 2007 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Val holland 11 reviews from this member

 What a wonderful site, just outside york. The site is run by a very friendly and helpful couple and is kept beautifully. Toilets excellent and pitches on grass but well kept and plenty of room. No children's play park but as it is next to the lock plenty to occupy the children. Adult only area for those who don't like kids.Walking distance to the local pub which serves  good food and welcomes children, with garden at rear in good weather.Can walk along the river to pub but not sure if access to village is allowed, it was dark  when we had our adventure along the river bank and was a bit unsure of the way at the end but found our way. It is a lot quicker along the road. Good bus service into York at the site entrance or a boat runs during the summer months but only ran once a week during our visit so we were quite disappointed we didn't get the chance to  try this although we will visit again as there is plenty to visit in York and the site is very near the MacAurther park retail outlet which is well worth a visit.

 This site is a real gem! Stumbled across it whilst touring the area. Very well set out with well designated pitches . The toilet/shower block was exceptional,.very clean, heated and even had piped music! The surrounding area was lovely with access to the nearby lock.a lovely walk if the weather is hot. Easy access to the City of York though a long walk to the nearest bus stop if you don't have transport. Well recomended!

Reviewer: Itchyfeet1 20 reviews from this member

 A nice site in a lovely location just a couple of minutes walk to the lock where you can catch the water taxi right into the centre of York. Friendly and helpful owners, toilets clean and warm and the pitches spacious. Pub in village about 15 mins walk away which is ok for a quiet drink but for a seriously good night out hit the town either by water taxi (highly recommended) or by bus which stops at the site gates. The McArthur Glen retail centre is nearby and well worth a visit for discounted designer clothes.

Reviewer: Tony Headlam 29 reviews from this member

 This Caravan Site is a large grassy quite site, it is very clean well kept and the owners are very helpful. There is a shop on site that provides mainly basics and you can also buy papers. The site is next to the River Ouse and a river boat runs into York every day during summer, you have to catch it at 9-30 am, that's okay if you are early risers but if not it's a bit of a rush, it does not come back until 4-30, I think it could be better if it was more frequent, this does not spoil the site one bit though, there is a good bus service to York with a Bus Stop outside the main entrance so getting in and out is not a problem. I will be going back to this site again.

Reviewer: Hogle 1 review from this member

 Just returned from a week away at Naburn lock park, this was only the second site we've ever used as we are newbies to the camping scene but that aside we cant recommend this site enough! It feels like you are miles away from anywhere once on site although you are literally only 15 minutes away from York city centre by car, plus a 2 minute walk from the locks which is a breath taking stretch of the river, the site is extremely well kept, plenty of pitches and shower/ laundry block is excellent plenty of piping hot showers and shop is well stocked with anything you might run out of.
In short DO NOT HESITATE to book this site, I think this will be the first of many visits to Naburn.

Reviewer: Tracyw22 1 review from this member

 What a great site, lovely location and really pleasant owners! You wouldn't believe you are only minutes away from a bustling city. We used the park and ride facility at the nearby Outlet village, no hassle and lots cheaper than paying for car-parks in the city.
 
Great surroundings and some nice walks, watched the boats going through the locks for ages! The village pub is a pleasant retreat.
 
Just wish the site was a bit nearer to us, but would definitely recommend it and would stay again if travelling that way.

 What a great site, we were really pleased after spending a rather rougher 2 nights near Hornsea to have the luxury of piping hot showers, clean toilets and an all round clean site.

It's a little more expensive (by about £3.00 per night) than other sites we've been to, but you can see where the extra money has gone. The staff were very helpful and friendly and so were the other campers.

It's a family friendly site, so the 11 o'clock "dead silence" rule didn't really affect us (and it's not that strict.but no radio's and loud noises after this time, which we quite liked!) - and there is an adults only field.

we quite liked the fact that things we're quiet at 11.our 1 yr old and 5 yr old were in bed then anyway, and me and the wife could just sit and chill!.lovely

everything was great here.I'd heartily recommend to anyone.nice and peaceful and well run, excellent!

 Fantastic site!, well placed to centre of York but still quiet and peaceful!.
 
Showers and toilets always clean and nice to have a bit of music in there.
 
The owners were friendly and helpful but unobtrusive, giving us lots of info about the local area.

Reviewer: Carruthers 1 review from this member

 My family and I have just returned from a three night stay in Naburn Caravan and camping park. We travelled there from Scotland on one of the hottest days and was very relieved to get to the site with no major problems. The site is very welcoming and the owners themselves make you feel at home. The toilets and showers are kept very clean and tidy and the addition of piped music was very nice. The pitches are well spaced out, We had plenty of room on a good level pitch and well mowed grass. I liked the idea of the site being quite from 11pm and also with its adults only area. The kids could enjoy playing around without annoying anyone. We will definitely be visiting this site again and will tell our friends about it,

Reviewer: Pinkspangle 1 review from this member

 I would just like people to know that Peter and Catherine are two of the nicest people, we arrived for a 2 week holiday and got the most amazing shock at how nice and clean the site was, the toilets are cleaned twice a day, which is more than some other sites we have used. The camp has a strict silence policy after 11 pm and as the mum of 2 small boys this was greatly appreciated, as they were not kept awake all night with people partying. The site is only 4 miles from York and has a regular bus service right outside the gates, again Catharine and Peter were more than happy to help you with any questions about local activities. Although they must have been very busy running the site they allways had time to stop for a chat and made you feel so welcome and at home. We were reluctant to leave and come back to Scotland but will make sure we visit again and again. Thanks to you both for helping make our holiday special. From Washing machine Lady.

Reviewer: Jonnydeppfan 1 review from this member

 This campsite is by far the best one we have been to yet and we will definitely be returning. Everything is so well kept,the toilets and showers are immaculate and the reception area which greets you when you arrive is colorful and welcoming.The toilets have music piped into them which is novel but a plus for me! We arrived on the hottest weekend of the year so far so that helped make an already enjoyable stay even better!A trip to york on the bus was only 15 minutes and when we got back a stroll to the local pub only took 15 mins and that was with a slowcoach 4 year old with us!I have a few friends who are seasoned campers and I will definitely be recommending this site to all of them.
