 Well kept site with immaculate modern amenity blocks. The wardens are very friendly and clearly take great pride in their site, planting and maintaining pots & hanging baskets.
The site is adjacent to Rowntree park which is lovely to walk around, has tennis courts, table tennis, skateboarding and a play park.
The site is alongside the river Ouse, again lovely to walk or cycle along. You can even sit on benches built into the bridge over the river.
York itself is about a 15 minute walk, with York Minster being about 30 minutes. Local buses are electric and also run to the Outlet Mall.

Excellent location with a 15 min walk into York city centre. There are a number of shops and restaurants around the corner to the site on the way into town. Can recommend the Indian restaurant, Lal Quila. Excellent food.
The site itself is very popular due to its location, so, not cheap, but you pay for the convenience of being able to walk into the city. Being motorhomers we generally try to stay on sites near to a village or town or with a bus service nearby so this was perfect for us.
The staff were friendly on arrival, didn't see many staff around and about afterwards but to be fair we were out every day. We were lucky to find a large pitch of the few remaining when we arrived. It was surrounded by hedges so even though the site felt very busy, we had a sense of some privacy. No shop on site but then, with shops nearby and the city within easy reach, its not necessary.
Facilities were clean with a 4 wristband allocation for use during Covid regulations. One person allowed into dishwashing area which is standard practice at the moment.
The only issue was that the facilities are closed from 10 till 12 for cleaning so they can get very busy before closing but during cleaning there is no emergency toilet available which other sites generally offer. I know there is the argument that we have our own on board facilities and we are in unusual times, however, there are occasions when guests may need them on site.
For a packed, busy site, it was generally much quieter than we expected.
We will definitely come back to this site.
We have visited York many times and most people know the usual tourist attractions available but I would like to recommend the Brew York and Tap Room off Walmgate. Great casual vibe with a great Korean/Japanese street food menu. We ended up there 3 lunchtimes out of 5 !
At present during Covid, you order food and drinks from your table after downloading the app on your phone. I'm sure they take orders for people without a smart phone.

Our maiden voyage in our newly acquired motorhome.
We have never been camping or glamping or caravanning, so complete newbies we chose this site as a practice run, only just over a hour from home still in the beautiful county of Yorkshire so to travel the beautiful roads in our room with a view was amazing and to end up at the Rowntree site was definitely the right move.
Upon arrival immediately met by a chatty and happy gentleman who explained everything to us (twice lol lots to take in) he was a breath of fresh air if he isnt the owner then he needs promotion as he clearly loves the place -
Our peg and position was brilliant an immaculate spot, easy to manoeuvre round in the big old bus !
As first timers we obviously decided to “go big or go home” but York Rowntree could easily cater for us - we had a lovey walk round York literally a 5-10 min walk to the town centre, everything at the site was brill,
Amazing site and we will definitely be back

Stayed for one night over the bank holiday weekend - the site is compact yet some of the pitches are quite roomy. We booked a non awning pitch and were very happy.
5-10 minutes walk right along the river brings you out in lots of green space, 5-10 minutes walk left brings you out in the city.
The site is in a fantastic location for seeing the city.
Fish and chips from the Fisherman’s Wife 5 minutes away were a welcome treat on a rainy evening.

We had a lovely stay at York Caravan Park, lovely spacious area for our Motorhome all with small hedges in between to give you a bit of privacy.
A fishing lake on site as well. Bus runs every half hour into York which stops right outside.
We will definitely use this park again.

Cycle friendly too with dog walks outside.

One of, if not the, very best sites we have ever visited in the UK.
On the pricey side as a non-member (£36) but from the friendly professional welcome, the pristine showers & WC facilities, pitches & layout,
It is a high quality experience especially being a 5 min walk to the city centre.

This site is in a fantastic location. As others have said purely functional with as many pitches crammed in as possible, glorified car park really.
We arrived early after travelling in very bad weather, as the site is in central York and traffic can be bad it’s difficult to time the journey to arrive exactly on time. Be aware there is no movement at all with the 12 check in time.
Disappointed with the service on site, the wardens were so rude and poorly organised. They desperately need some customer service training. I understand it’s a busy site but if customers annoy them just by being there maybe they need to work on a quieter one.
On the plus side the toilet block was clean, this is obviously where their strengths lie. As a fellow Yorkshire man I’m so disappointed that this is the welcome travellers will get when booking in here.

If you are looking for a short break to visit the tourist attractions in central York this site makes a good base. You can leave the car and walk/cycle for miles. It is rather like camping in a glorified car park, however people looking for a more rural setting will, hopefully have the sense to look elsewhere.
Trying to get out of the centre of York to venture further afield takes forever. And if you are thinking of going east on the A64, be prepared for long delays. Manoeuvring a caravan onto some of the pitches can be challenging. (Not all caravanners choose to have motor movers fitted).
The fact that many of the pitches do not follow the more common practise of parking cars on the opposite side of the van to the awning adds to the problems. Units backing onto each other are, at least separated by a low hedge. However, sitting outside, staring at the back of a motor home less than 3m away is not everyone’s cup of tea.
Booking a pitch can also also a problem. Like many ‘popular’ sites, weekends are booked up months in advance so anyone looking for a longer stay has little chance of success. At the time of writing there were no weekend pitches available at all. If you do decide to come here pick your arrival time and day carefully.
Departures have to be no later than 11. 15 to try to avoid congestion on the narrow approach road. But if too many vans arrive at the same time and anyone is trying to go in the opposite direction (there is a public car park next to the site), it’s chaos.

Great site, all hard standing, almost in the very centre of the city. Pleasant riverside walks adjacent to the site.
Drive over grey waste for motorhomes, but only one, so there’s sometimes a queue for this.
Facilities are excellent, clean and warm and entry by key.
Barrier entry and exit to the site.
Usual exacting caravan club pitching guidance on decent size pitches.
Expensive but then it is almost in the city centre. Difficult to get booked in as people tend to block book ahead for this site.
Recommended.

We only had four nights here and enjoyed the central location. We approached from the south on the A19 as it is a little better than the other approaches.
Pitches without awning space are small, we had one of the larger ones. Well maintained and great staff.
There are building works next door but it did not bother us, my only concern was when I reported seeing two rats come onto the site from the direction of the river back and headed for the refuse area.
I told the office about this the following day and they did not seemed concerned, replying 'we are monitoring this' There were no signs of poison bait boxes in or around the refuse area. They did not bother me but I do know a lot of ladies who would not like coming across rats on the site.
Toilet block is not new and the amount of space for each shower varies along with the depth of the seat in the shower.
Well worth a visit.

The best thing about this site is the location. Short walk into York city centre makes it perfect for a city break.
It's not most picturesque site and the pitches are tight, but who goes to York to sit outside their caravan!?
Wardens seemed less friendly than our last visit, but they were working flat out to cope with the Friday influx.

Arrived at the site after the designated time as this site is always busy. The wardens dealt with the queue in a cheery and efficient matter.
We were told to pick our own pitch with a white peg which we did. We parked according to her instructions as this is for safety reasons according to fire regs. The site is all hard standing and I note that some people criticise the lack of grass.
Yes some of the pitches are a little smaller than others but so are vans. If you tell the site the size of your outfit they will, try to accommodate you. The site is brilliantly placed for access into York which is a short stroll along the rivers.
There is so much to do in York from shopping to sightseeing. If you are going to visit several museums it may be worth purchasing a York Pass as it will save you money. The toilet block was immaculate and warm.
At the moment there is some noise from the building site next door ( hotel being built) but where we were it was fine. We always thoroughly enjoy our time at the site and think the price paid was very reasonable due to its proximity to the town.

Arrived early (20 minutes )told we had to wait until 12 even though there were pitches available and after a 5 hour drive was a bit much
Site ok, no grass and quite cramped on our pitch,
Bought wifi for 7 days ( £10 ) got 1/2 meg so useless, advised the attendants one knew nothing about the wifi and the other said he knew about the low speeds and we would struggle to use anything ??, might have been better to know before we bought it,
£98 for 3 nights EHU is ridiculous and the reason we wont be renewing with the club
