 Hi This was our first time visiting this park, where we stayed two nights and loved it. The campsite is quiet and peaceful with beautiful surroundings and pleasant walks. We were fortunate enough to have a position on the river bank and blissfully watched the boats etc passing all day. The showers and toilets were kept clean at all times with lovely warm water that you turn on and off as required none of this one hand keeping it on while your trying to wash yourself, definite bonus. Facilities well maintained, I'd say the campsite was more for couples not much for children to do and right next to river. This has been the most expensive campsite we have stayed on so far but everything is included in the price even the fishing. We will be visiting this campsite again, hopefully next time we can go on the river boat from the campsite to York

What a lovely site shower and toilets. What I would call very old fashioned but excellent clean.
None of this press and press and press button. For lovely hot water showers and spotless toilet block.
This site is run by farmers, family business and have very high standards. Very friendly and wardens owners ( farmers) can not do enough for you.
Bus stop outside site to York every hour. Just remember to make sure you have river side view if requested ( certain dates early March Mothers Day weekend are closed that's what disappointed when we arrived. Told it was open ????) The Wardens were aware we had booked riverside view weeks before but did not ring us to say the bank was closed till the March 23rd under Water Ways Licence.
The Ship Inn next door and I mean next door recently taken over by new owners Hamish What a guy great food and warm welcomes welcomes you all.
Now the down side, the site has seasonal pitches, and there were dogs wandering as and when and also tied up, constant barking while owners kids play outside their caravan exciting their long loved pet.
Overall very good site and owners very respectable.

Brilliant, warm welcome. Helpful & friendly staff. Min 2 night stay, which we did only want to stay for 1, but had to stay for 2, as we'd paid, which was good really / in the end.
Ideal campsite for us 2 as there is nice home cooked food in the pub opposite & a lovely walk into York along the waterside - something like 5 miles I seem to remember someone telling me. We then walked, shopped, etc, , a little in York itself. Caught the riverbus back which drops you of outside the campsite. Toilets & showers clean & warm. Couldn't ask for any more. Can't wait to go back

A lovely site with easy access into York City centre. The bus stop is just outside the campsite entrance.
We had a lovely pitch on the riverbank, which was a real bonus. We would certainly request this pitch again as it was so relaxing watching the boats pass by. A few little ducklings also kept us company.
The toilet block might be a little dated but its very clean and the showers are nice and warm. This makes all the difference when your camping.
The Ship Inn is literally across the road and serves excellent food.
Overall a good campsite with everything to offer.
We'll be returning later on this summer.

We were recommended this site by the Caravan Club site nearby (this being full). We were not disappointed. We were offered a pitch right by the river ( 20 feet away). Lovely views,especially in the early morning sunrise. Plenty of hungry ducks to keep the children amused.
Toilet block very clean but rather dated ( barn door style showers cubicles, 5 male and 5 female) but plenty of scorching hot water and pleased to say not the button type of operation.
Water points right next to caravan although disposal points are across the road in the main site but this is only a 100yds away. Chemical disposal is a normal toilet within it's own cubicle.
Bus stop right outside main entrance. York is only 3 miles away by car. There is a boat service to York just around the corner but we couldn't find where this operated from. We suspect it is closed for the winter.
There is a pub within 100yds of the main entrance which serves food in the evenings most days.
No play area on site and ball games are strictly forbidden.
When we were there it was very quiet and peaceful. We would certainly recommended this site.

Very crowded site, the owners site the caravans in very close proximity to each other, we struggled to park our car next to our van with enough room to open the car doors.
The shower and toilet facilities are very dated but are kept reasonably clean. One toilet block key per unit is a bit awkward, you have to shower at different times, or go with your wife and then take the key after she has unlocked the ladies block.
This site is very expensive for what is on offer, there are many other sites around York with better facilities that are not as expensive as this. Will not be visiting again.

Being non car campers it was frustrating to be hemmed in by cars both sides at one point (are there any sites that keep us cyclists and walkers away from the cars?) but it is a pleasant site and we had a nice few days.
To be honest saying that some of the site is by the river is a bit misleading - there is also a significant part of the site by a very murky stream that you would not want to fall in. The ducks are extremely tame and I am sure very tasty.
Close enough to York for easy cycling and though it is on a road (and bisected by a road) it is a very quiet road. Owners very helpful and obviously work extremely hard.
Yes toilet block is 'old fashioned' but well maintained and spotless. Bit of a walk in the morning and needing the key every time was a bit of a bind (one key given for the entire family).

This is a fab site, really enjoyed our stay right by the waters edge, waving to the pleasure boats as they sailed up the river Ouse. There was a pub behind us and our family was able to camp nearby - perfect.
The owners are very hard working and the site is very well organised. There is a regular bus and waterbus directly into York (about 3 miles) and lots of riverside/country walks nearby.

After researching the whereabouts and reading the reviews we weren't disappointed with the site. Our tent pitch was facing the River Ouse where we could watch river boats go sailing by, people fishing and loads of ducks just waddling by. The warden was very helpful upon arrival and told us where everything was and answered our questions regarding public transport.
The facilities were a bit dated but kept very clean and served their purpose.
There is a pub called The Ship just before the entrance which was very nice for a couple of drinks before tea, we never tried the food so can't comment. We drove into the neighbouring village of Bishopthorpe which was very nice with a number of pubs all serving food and obviously catered for families with young children. We also walked into York via the Yorvik trail along the river which took us to Bishopthorpe and ended at Bishopthorpe Palace where the Archbishop of York lives then we just walked towards the A64 and over the racecourse following a cycle track. It was about 4 miles but the sun was shining so made it worth the effort! A taxi back to the campsite from the Punchbowl pub on Micklegate cost £8.50, well worth it!
All in all the weekend was great and we would certainly use the campsite again, it was a relaxing base.

Expensive for what they offer!
One person with tent 10,- pound/night. Toilets on other side of busy road about 600 Feet walk. No street lights. Showers and toilets are good. You get one key to enter the toilets and showers. Washing clothes and dishes in one room with only one separated hot tap with slow streaming hot water. No dryer or washing machines for clothes. Location to put up your tent is appointed, no free choice. Pub, Ship inn, is within 250 feet from toilet block. York town centre about 3,5 miles. Bicycle route is nearby york-Naburn over old railway track.
