Date of Visit: August 2013 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Stoldol 12 reviews from this member

 This is a wonderful site. Very well kept with a fishing lake. We didn't fish because we were just there for 2 nights to visit York, but for £5 a day we would of if we had longer. The Gentleman on the next pitch was a regular and had many a good catch.

It was very busy the Saturday with a lot of family groups and single sex groups, so the first night was very noisy. Gangs of young lads messing around the toilet block and girls shouting at 1am, but this is no fault of the site owners. The Gentleman on the next pitch said it had never been that noisy before so we won't let it put us off coming again.

The shower block even though it was busy was spotless and we never had to wait. Even though we had all the information we needed told to us when we arrived along with a map of York and information on the park and rides, there were menu's for local restaurants and takeaways and other information in the toilet blocks that we found very useful.

The next day when we came back from York the site was a lot quieter with 6 other vans and a few fisherman. It was so peaceful I wished we could of stayed longer.

We would definitely use this site again and would recommend it to anyone who wishes to visit York or just spend a few days fishing.

Peter and his Mum and Dad should be congratulated for providing such a wonderful site and for being such friendly hosts.

 Wagtail Park is worthy of the comments and reviews posted on UK campsites.

Our stay was for the last two weeks of July and the weather was very kind to us, warm and sunny.

The site is spacious with good sized pitches, with plenty of EHU points and water taps, there are currently 20 pitches, for caravans, camper vans or tents.

Wagtail Park is a new site that is enjoying its third season, so the facilities are new and very modern, full credit to Peter and his parents, they keep the whole site spotless.

The park was full during our first weekend, but during the week the site was less than half full, which surprised me as the prices are not over expressive, especially as the site is well positioned for York, with park and ride just over a mile away, as is Monks Cross shopping centre. Although the site is so close to York it is far enough off of the ring road not to be effected by road noise.

The site at one end has a small lake that is well stocked with fish and enjoys 25 pegs, this was well used, and the landscaping and grass is well kept over the whole of the site.

The owner’s family were very friendly and offered advice on the surrounding area and places that were well worth a visit, although we stayed for two weeks we still did not manage to fully cover the area, there is much to do and see.

Whilst a resident at Wagtail Park, you were offered free membership of Huntington’s social club, free entertainment on Sunday was provided, we enjoyed three wonderful evening there,

We are experienced campers of many years, I would highly recommend Wagtail Park, it is such a pity that we live over fours hours away in Kent, but will revisit this site in the future.

Reviewer: Profjackpot 7 reviews from this member

 This was our first visit to this small and relatively new site on the outskirts of York. The owners (father and son) visited the site more than once a day and always stopped for a chat which resulted in a friendly atmosphere throughout the site. The facilities are modern and clean with plenty of hot water although a more thorough clean once a week may help maintain them to a higher standard. The grass was being cut as we arrived on the Friday afternoon which meant it did trail everywhere. This could be easily resolved by cutting the grass after the weekend when the site is quieter.

There is a fishing lake on site which is used by campers and the general public for a daily charge of £5. 00. The majority of visitors had a fisherman amongst them (us included) but it didn't feel like it was just for fishing enthusiasts. The general public using the lake did not cause any issues as the lake felt quite separate to the camping area.

The site is about a mile away from Monks Cross, an out of town shopping centre, which has a Park & Ride service to the city centre and two decent supermarkets plus a good selection of high street shops. The village of Huntington is just over a mile away where there are a few pubs and plenty of takeaways (menus are displayed on site). It is a shame there is not a bus service closer to the site as this would be a real asset but it is on a link road so unlikely to happen. There are taxi services advertised on site.

This is a site where you can get away from it all and enjoy some time outdoors with the benefit of a city not being too far away if the weather is poor or entertainment is required.

 This is a great site, perfect for a long weekend. We were a group of 15 people staying in 4 tents. There was no problem about us being able to be grouped together and the owners father who was extremely helpful, met us on arrival. This was a bank holiday weekend and although it was fully booked, it didn't feel like it as there is lots of space and privacy.

We had already decided to go to York races on the Saturday and the owner was very helpful and had negotiated a good price with a local taxi company which took us from the site directly to the racecourse.

The site itself is very pretty and well maintained - the toilets and showers were very clean. If you are looking for place with on site entertainment etc. , this site isn't for you but if you want s bit of peace in a beautiful setting, it is ideal.

Reviewer: Loughran 11 reviews from this member

 Stayed late May bank holiday and found this to be a lovely, small friendly site. It is doesn't have a shop or children's play area but that suited us. Maybe something to consider if you have children that need entertaining.

There is one shower block with a ladies and gents at either end. Inside there are two large level access showers, three toilets, three sinks and one hairdryer (20p) and I believe the gents was the same. Although the site was full we had no problems or had to wait. There was a covered veg prep area around the back along with the bins/recycling. There is a fishing lake making a nice view for those pitched beside it. Easy to get into the centre of York which took no time at all.

I thought the site fees expensive for such a basic site, (£25pn +£3pn awning) even taking into consideration it was bank holiday and it's closeness to centre of York. The site owner tells us that he is in the process of putting in more EHU pitches, if so I wonder if the present shower/toilet facilities would be adequate. If you want a peaceful quiet stay then this would suit. We would return.

Reviewer: Deckchair 2 reviews from this member

 A very well run and friendly site, ideal for tents, caravans & motor homes alike. The site has a lovely fishing lake and

Picnic tables also the site has lovely grassy areas and the owners are more than helpfully so no one will feel over crowded. The shower and toilet block are spotless.

The site has a barrier for exit /entrance for added security but it is a safe and very relaxing site. The usual large shops are to be found only one mile away at Monks Cross and easy access to York city centre. However, the site is rural and great to have the best of both worlds. A site worth a visit if you need to relax and enjoy York and its many attractions.

Reviewer: Becster 1 review from this member

 Just arrived home after five relaxing days on Wagtail Park. The site was very quite and dog friendly. The facilities were excellent and in the middle of the park was a fishing lake. Charlie (the dog) had a great time playing ball because he had the field to himself. We saw the park owners every day no matter what the weather was like. Wagtail Park is ideal to use as a base as it is only a short car journey from York, Thirsk, Harrogate and the coast. 


Date of Visit: January 2013 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Shawzy 3 reviews from this member

 Visited this site over a snowy weekend in January and thoroughly enjoyed it. Easy access and spacious pitches. We booked as we wanted to visit York and this site is perfectly situated for that.

The pitch was very flat, only a minor adjustment on the jockey wheel to get level. The owners where friendly and helpful and visited the site regularly during the day. The facilities where spotless and warm with hot showers which were nice and powerful too. The site on the whole was very well kept with a stocked fishing lake.

When we arrived there was no snow but that soon changed. After the first night we woke up to 5-6 inches of snow which only added to our enjoyment. The only downside was the water supplies freezing up and having to fill our aquaroll from the washing up tap, but given the weather it's understandable. However the owner did say he has plans to stop this happening as he opens all year. On the whole a very pleasant stay and definitely a site to visit again.

Reviewer: Sammie16 16 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for 7 nights and we would totally recommend this site. Fishing lake is beautiful (even though we had rain most of the week). Washrooms were spotless and nice and large. Owner on site 2 or 3 times a day. Really friendly and helpful. Park and Ride really useful. 5 mins drive away and if you are of an age to have a bus pass, it costs just 60p return to the absolutely wonderful City of York. Very regular buses. In the same area as the Park and Ride is a large Asda and quite a few other large shops.

The only downsides I can think of is the water in the showers was not hot enough (but that was my preference) and if they had hardstandings it would make it one of the best sites I have been to (and I have been to a lot)

Reviewer: Ionavan1 1 review from this member

 What a well kept lovely site, large pitch, the best kept toilets and showers we have ever seen, no matter what time of day they were always spotless. The warden was a great help giving us all the places of interest and being on site often to make sure all was running well, the fishing lake is beautiful not just to fish, but to stroll round to see the local wild life. The dog walk is fantastic very dog friendly for well behaved dogs. Loved the peace and quiet, but close to all the shops pubs and fish shops. The local pub restaurant in Huntington was recommended by Peter and what a delight we are booking for NewYear with friends at Wagtail and having Newyears dinner at the Black Bull on recommendation from Peter what a great site cant wait to go back

Reviewer: Janets65 4 reviews from this member

 Just had a 2 night break at this site and really enjoyed it. The warden was helpful and knowledgeable, allowing us to arrive on site as early as we wanted due to it being a quiet weekend, and at the end of our stay he didn't chase us off at a certain time!

We were provided with a barrier card and key for the shower/toilet block on arrival and advised where to pitch our tents. The showers and toilets were immaculate throughout our stay, with plenty of hot water at any time, and there were lights dotted around so we didn't need our torch for night time walks to them. There were good washing up facilities under cover, again with plentiful hot water.

The site really is in a beautiful setting with a fishing lake in the middle of it where we saw numerous large fish being caught. Had a trip into Malton and also to Eden Camp while we were here, both within easy driving distance.

The only downside to this site is the road noise, which we did get used to, and I wouldn't let it put me off going to what is a lovely campsite again! Will definitely return.

 Had 3 days at wagtail park caravan park. The shower block and toilets were very clean as were the camp. Personally I thought it was a bit over priced considering the camp was very basic. If you like fishing the lake was very good. But on the negative side I would have thought considering the price we had to pay, the fishing would be free, considering we were residents on the site. The fee was £3. 00 a day, other sites the fishing is free. Overall the camp is nice and quiet apart from a little traffic noise and the shops are not that far away. I don't think we will be returning as there are better sites with more outdoor activities and free fishing.

 We have just been to this site for a long weekend and we really didn't want to leave. Upon arrival the owner Peter show us to our pitch which was very spacious.

The showers/toilets are the best we have ever used. My husband didn't take his fishing tackle but says we will return because the fishing look fantastic. The owner did offer to lend his which was a lovely touch.

The location is only a couple of miles from Monks Cross park n ride into York which we used a couple of times.

Overall we cant fault this site in any way and will definitely return

 What a find! From the moment we entered the gates we were made to feel welcome.

The toilet block and showers were the best I have ever been to.

The size of the site is perfect not too big and the fishing lake is beautiful we were sited overlooking it.

The warden could not have been more helpful throughout our weeks stay giving help and advice plus information about the local area.

We loved it so much we booked for next year before we left.

Thank you Wagtail Park see you next year.

Reviewer: Zara2008 2 reviews from this member

 Lovely site with lovely owners, not full of rules and regulations like some of the sites we have stayed on. A nice relaxed approach, just respect the people around you.

The toilets and showers were lovely and very clean, the site itself is really well maintained, the fishing lake is lovely to look out on or have a wander round.

Location is really handy for the supermarket, 5 minns drive away, and although we didn't go into York, the park and rise is close by if you want to, we were given details of all the times for the park and ride, and local shopping on arrival.

Really highly recommended, to the point where I almost don't want to post this so we can just keep it for ourselves to go to.
