Date of Visit: July 2020  Confirmed Booking Unit:  Motorhome
Nights stayed: 2 Travelling as:  Retired couple
Reviewer: Apn7b1 1 review from this member

 Grantchester is a lovely little site well maintained and spotlessly clean and organised,

A pub only 50 metres and a bus stop into York 40 metres from the site,

New owners have made this a go to site, at a great price.

We will return. Paul & Ann Nash.

Reviewer: Jillo5 2 reviews from this member

 So pleased we found this site. An ideal location for exploring the city of York. Great bus links just outside the site with a regular bus service.

Great facilities with hard standing pitches with EHU, toilets, showers and washing up area all clean and well presented.

New owner Lisa was very friendly and helpful and went out of her way to answer all our questions.

Only improvement I would suggest is another water point that is easier to access for motor homes as we had to reverse quite a long way in the dark to fill up!

We will definitely be returning soon.

Reviewer: Vampavan 1 review from this member

 3 vans stayed here 23rd october 2019. This site has recently got new owners and they have done a very good job to make this small friendly site very useable, stayed here recently and was really pleased with the site, it has got 20 pitches that are hardstanding with electric.

Its got a grey waste and an elson point, the toilets and shower block is communal and is spotlessly clean. £18. 50 with electric at time of feedback.

We would like to thank lisa for her help a wonderful lady and will be returning again.

Reviewer: Frenchcamper 12 reviews from this member

 This site has the potential to be a good site. When we stay on a site all we want is a decent pitch, and decent showers with hot water.

When we arrived at this site the owners were just cutting the grass, but because it was long there was grass cuttings everywhere.

In 3 days while we were there the toilet block wasn't cleaned. The floor covering has ingrained dirt which needs washing with a strong cleaner. To use the shower I had wipe out the tray and floor with paper towels before it was usable. Window sills and frames were covered in dead bugs and have not been cleaned for months. Sorry, but I cannot recommend this site as it is today.

Date of Visit: July 2018 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Theresa C 7 reviews from this member

 We were in 2 units (a tent with 2 adults and one child) and a motorhome with 2 adults).

The owners (Jacqui) / staff could not have been more helpful from first booking until the day we left.

The site itself was close to York, off a busy road, but far enough down the road so that the noise was not too much of a problem (although you could hear it). The site is very reasonably priced.

The toilets / showers are unisex with 2 showers (which could be busy in the mornings, but manageable). The facilities were fantastically clean – which to me is the main thing you can have on a site for tents (and even for caravans / motor homes which use the facilities)

The pitches were big and you felt like you had room to move. The site is a great size if like us you prefer a slightly quieter less hemmed in site.

Highly recommended!

 Me and the mrs here for 3 nights in July, what a lovely little site. Pitches plenty big enough. Toilet and showers were clean in fact the whole site was very well kept. Only one toilet and shower block( unisex) but it was never crowded. I will be returning.

 A very pleasant site, well maintained, all necessary facilities, excellent toilet block AND FREE WIFI. Just off A19 and close to amenities. Very good pitches which are well spaced out in irregular configuration. Highly recommended.

Reviewer: Peter howard 12 reviews from this member

 Lovely site and what an excellent host Jacqui is. We've stayed here before

And really enjoyed it but now with the new plots installed its even better. Once everything has settled down this will be one of the best sites to visit in York. There is a great walk from the site along the river into the town center which takes about 1 hour then you easily catch

The bus back which drops you 100 meters from the campsite. Toilet block

Was always nice and clean and we have no problems with it being unisex.

A decent pub over the road if you just fancy a pint and at £3. 65 for a pint of bitter and a pint of lager can you go wrong??Book a visit to stay

With Jacqui and I promise you'll return. 


Date of Visit: September 2017 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Janetreid 16 reviews from this member

 A lovely little site on the A19 just north of the Rawcliffe park and ride for York. 6 hardstandings and lots of grass. 12 pitches all told with ehu situated in a lovely orchard of apple trees. Unisex toilet block with 2 showers, 3 toilets, urinal an 4 whb. I would have liked a privacy cubicle as it was unisex but didn't encounter any problems and they were spotless. When we arrived there had been heavy rain so the grass was understandably a little boggy so you would need wellies for the toilets and the waste disposal which was in the far corner. Excellent long hose to fill up with water but no motorhome water disposal drain. Lots of bird life and almost on the cycle route into York.

The bus stop is at the end of the lane with frequent services to York or a 20 min walk to the P&R (although this is more expensive than the service bus!)

Skelton Village across the main road has a pub that does meals and there is a shop/post office in the village for essentials that gets a travelling chip van 1 evening a week. There is also a pub/ restaurant further down the road.

This is an ideal spot if you want to explore York and we will certainly use it again!

Reviewer: Wildewarrens 3 reviews from this member

 We stayed on this site for 3 nights, we were met by the owner who was lovely and friendly she showed us to our pitch which was nice and flat, the toilet block is as everyone says immaculate although it being a unisex building was a little strange but it didn't bother us. The only problem we had was we needed somewhere to freeze our cooler blocks to keep our milk fresh! And there wasn't anywhere to do this (i would normally check first but I'd left this site booking to my husband!) we did try finding the owner to see if she could help us but we didn't see her again. Thankfully a kind couple in a motorhome offered to freeze them for us.

I also found the noise from the main road a little to loud for my liking

York is fabulous we used the rawcliffe park and ride which was a 5 minute drive from site
