 We have visited this site several times now, at different times of the year. The couple who own and run this site are consistently helpful and friendly, the showers and toilets are always clean, with lots of hot water.
The site is always well presented and kept to a very high standard. It is situated approx. 5 miles outside of York, with a regular bus service from just outside the park gates, or via a river bus from the near-by lock.
A very pretty and well run site

Booked this site via e-mail, which was easy to do. I would say to people if you want hard standing or grass, you must specify, we didn't have a preference so it didn't matter.
The owners were very welcoming and friendly, and went out of their way to help customers. We were in the adult only area, although only a hedge away from the rest of the campsite, it was still very peaceful.
The campsite is next to the road but the noise didn't bother us that much, and not at all during the night.
I do have a habit of judging campsites on the quality of their facilities, particularly the shower, having long hair it takes a bit to get it washed. And on first look at the facilities I was a little worried, they were clean and tidy, but still. I needn't have been worried the showers were adequately sized and lovely and warm.
There is a village within walking distance, which has a pub, that serves food all day. They do a very nice Scampi and chips, which I would recommend. The only down side is that the walk to and back is down a unlit road so take your torches, or your phone as we did.
The site is within easy reach of York, we decided on using the park and ride service from the designer outlet as it was cheaper than the bus service and the parking in York. The city is full of attractions, I'm sure your would find something for everyone.
Thee is a lovely walk from the campsite onto Naburn Lock, where you can watch the world go by.
Lovely, relaxing campsite

We booked this site last minute after leaving another site early. When we arrived we were met with a warm, professional welcome and shown to our pitch which was a really good size. We couldn't believe how busy the site was bearing in mind it was towards the end of September but I guess that just goes to show what a good site it is and for £17 a night we thought it was very good value for money.
The facilities were plentiful and spotless. Lots of water sites and rubbish bins dotted around. The site was very well maintained and although a big site the way it is set out made it feel smaller which was nice. There was also a shop on site which was well stocked.
The location is great, really close to the river which is lovely for a walk or even to catch the boat into York.
I think this is a great site and would highly recommend it.

Visited Naburn with my family and parents. Lovely site, sectioned into small areas making it very private and secluded, great idea. Shower/toilet block spotless and clean, big washing up areas, well stocked shop. Local buses right outside camp for easy access to York. Water taxi twice a week, a little pricey but worth a one-way ride. Local pub 5 minutes drive. Lovely walks for dogs. Highly recommended will definitely return.

This site has a very enviable location, right on the river with some very delightful walks and scenery all around. The bus into York stops at the gates and gets you into the centre in 15 minutes or so. Shops and a pub are not far away. This is not a small site, but it is partitioned by hedges into groups of maybe 8 to 10 units, with a very quiet adults only section where we were. On site shop, plenty of high quality loos and showers and helpful owners. Being fairly large you need to make your own atmosphere and friends if that is what you want. Nice place, not too expensive either.

We visited Naburn Lock Caravan park in August for thirteen days. We choose it because it was close to York, had a shop on site and a pub in the village not far away. Also it had an added bonus of the river taxi into York.
We couldn't have picked a better site. The shop was well stocked and we used it often. The pub was a fifteen minuet walk to the village, the meal we had there was nice if not a bit over priced. And the river taxi was an excellent way to travel with the captain giving a commentary on everything you passed on the way.
Everyone was so friendly, staff and other campers alike.
The local bus service was just outside the gate, buses run every hour to York, last bus back was at 6. 30 week days and at 1100 p. M on a Saturday which gave us ample time to sample Yorks night life. The toilets and shower blocks were spotless and I never had to wait for a free cubical regardless that the site was very busy.
The couple who ran the site were so friendly and genuine.
There was a wee added bonus of the ducks wandering round the park which we fed a few times.
We had a BBQ twice during our stay without disturbing the other campers with the smoke, as there was plenty room between the pitches(we had a full awning up plus the car at the side of the van)
I would recommend this site to everyone it was amazing.

I have visited this site on numerous occasions and it never fails to please. The site is immaculately kept and the facilities are always clean no matter when you go. The site is reasonably large with plenty of room for pitching. The shop stocks most things that you might need at reasonable prices. The village of Naburn is about half a mile away and has an excellent pub that does bar meals. The designer out let is about 2 miles away and there is a bus stop outside the site to take you to it if you prefer to leave your car. York is about 4 miles away and you can get the bus outside or take the boat on certain days if you do not want to use your car. There are many good walks and cycling tracks near the site and the river flows along the bottom of it making a very picturesque place to visit. The owners are friendly and helpful and make sure that the patrons get a good holiday without being disturbed by rowdiness as there are signs asking the patrons to be quiet after 11.00pm. And this is usually adhered to. I will certainly visit here again in the future and would recommend it to anyone who wants a good camping experience.

We visited this campsite staying for 2 nights on 2/3 August. We hadn’t stayed here before and only picked up the details from the UKCampsite.co.uk website. We would agree that this is a gem of a site. We were allocated a pitch in the ‘Adults Only’ area and it was very quiet and tranquil.
The site is immaculately presented with a spotless toilet and shower block. It also offers an on site shop which has a reasonable range of goods that campers might require.
The site is on the banks of the River Ouse and Naburn Lock, only two minutes’ walk if that. This area is a very picturesque location, with a mixture of narrow boats and other river boats moored there. There are also numerous ducks that enjoyed being fed by us as much as we also enjoyed the experience.
There is an hourly bus service from the campsite gates into York and we enjoyed a day there. The bus returns on an hourly basis also.
All in all, a most enjoyable weekend and now we have discovered the campsite, we certainly will return,

First visit to this site, very well run by friendly owners who never seemed to be off duty.
One off the cleanest sites I have been on. The toilet block was cleaned in the morning and again at night.
Very keen on recycling (good), bins emptied every day. Shop sells every thing you need and more, my other half went to buy some WD40 they had sold out so they gave him their own can, they really cannot do enough for you.
Our daughter is autistic and they were lovely with her, giving me the key code for the disabled shower room, and offering any help I may need.
Bus stop at entry to site for York or Selby.
River bus to york goes from the river at bottom of lane at the Naburn lock.
No play area, but lots of grassed area.
Lovely site with some sectioned off hedge areas, an adult only section and 2 large tent sites, one with electric hook up.
Large field for dog walkers at bottom of lane.
Only one major rule. Dead quiet after 11pm. Reasonable enough request I thought.
Handy base for visiting North Yorkshire, the coast and of course York. The Blacksmith Arms a short walk away do fantastic meals, and are super friendly.
Lovely people, lovely site.

Beautiful site just outside of york city centre with fantastic facilities and very friendly owners.
Bus service from the gates for people not wishing to drive into york and also a river boat from the locks that is reached by a short private road.
This site has everything that you need and is very very well kept.
A couple of small observations I would make are firstly the eco friendly hand dryers that are sited just inside of each toilet, as these toilets are usually left open when used the noise from these driers resonated around the site and is quite loud.
Secondly we all unfortunately live is a world of rules and regulations but when on holiday it is to kick back and drop out of this regimented regime so could the management think about turning down the number of mandatory and must do signs and maybe reconsider the bold and capitalised text used, it really makes you feel like a that school teacher is shaking her finger at you and telling you off, this thankfully never translated to the way the staff/owners behaved who were all very nice I might add.
Would definitely visit again.

Just returned from a weekend here, this is a gem of a campsite. I originally asked to be sited on the adults only section, this was full so we were shown to a pitch very close to the Reception and very clean shower block. It was so good we left the caravan there and are returning next Friday for a small charge!
The site is run with precision by Peter and Catherine (lovely lady with a great sense of humour). The buses run every hour to York from the entrance of the campsite and many campers made use of the water bus from the lock into York. Great dog walks and a very clean site. This is definitely a favourite of mine.

We stayed at Naburn Lock last week of June into July it was a fantastic well run site, clean and a credit to its owners. The camp shop had all the usual basics reasonably priced with daily papers if pre-ordered which is always a nice touch! Lovely dog walk along the canal with a huge field for the dogs to run in safely always a bonus!
We didn't check out the local pubs as not drinkers(only tea!) York outlet was worth a visit and we also did the York Citybus tour very informative and a handy way of getting around York city centre as parking was a no-no. We did go for a lovely Indian meal at Mumbai Lounge in York on our last night if you like good quality Indian cuisine and great service it's a definite must do whilst in the area!
Hi-lights- reasonably priced site with an adults only area and dog friendly. Also late checkout by 1pm was another bonus as it means you don't have to hitch up while still munching your cornflakes! Will we return? You bet we will!

This is a very friendly site, the owners were most helpful when we realised we had forgotten our electric hookup lead. They lent us one and would not take any money. We were situated in the adult only area, with 4 units in our block. We had plenty of room for our outfit and awning and were close to the facilities. The site is well kept with plenty of flowers and bushes, and the facilities are clean. There is a pleasant walk down the lane to a large field where we could exercise our dog, and a lovely walk by the lock, with friendly locals to talk to.
We used the park and ride for our trip into York, as this was not far and the service was frequent. There is plenty to see and do in the area. A Trip to Whitby is worthwhile, especially for the fresh fish and chips. You are told who caught the fish and when.
We would highly recommend this site.

Naburn Lock caravan site is a lovely caravan site by the river ouse, the location is idyllic and the owners who greeted us are a credit to their site, nothing was too much trouble for them. The toilet block was busy as the site was full for the b/h w/e but was clean and tidy the whole time, there is no play area for children and they also have a very nice adults ony area which is where we stayed
York is a very nice old City with some great architecture.
The pub in Naburn serves great beer and also great food, is dog friendly and very welcoming.
Would we return.
You bet we will even with a 6 hour drive to get there.

Lovely site, well kept, although the pitches are a little on the small side, the hedges on site separating the pitches could have been reduced in height so you do not feel so enclosed, but it did cut down on any noise.
The toilets are clean and on our visit were never busy.
The ferry into York is a lovely way to travel into the centre of York and a nice way to see the river.
The local pub is only a 15 minute walk down the road serving nice food, be warned portions are large, spare rib was a whole cow.
