 Well unfortunately it was our first visit this year due to the Great British Weather!
What a fabulous site this is and is a credit to the owners Peter and Catherine who do a fantastic job and are very friendly people. Good price also at £19 per night with £1. 75 for our porch awning and FREE showers!.
We had a problem with our car not starting one morning and Peter dropped everything to come and help get us sorted so a big thank you to him.
To address previous reviewers moaning about too many rules and the grass not being cut, lets face it if you don't have 'rules' you would not get such an excellent run site, bearing in mind rules and regulations keeps out the ragamuffins! which we have seen and heard quite a few at various other sites! especially those sites that are a little 'lapse' on the 'rules'. You also have to be a little bit flexible in our climate with grass cutting etc as it has been almost continual rain since March! I wonder how the previous reviewer managed to get his grass cut at home as we have struggled!
Yes, admittedly if your up on the 'adult only' section of the park at peak times of the day you do hear a bit of road noise (that didn't really bother us) but, through the day you can also hear the clippety clop of horses going passed which is also very nice to hear, and really there are so many more good points to this site than bad!
Their little shop at reception is very well stocked and very reasonably priced, they sell mini packets such as Tea, sugar, coffee etc which saves you buying larger items when your only there for a few days, it is an excellent idea especially as I had remembered to pack the Gin, wine and lager etc but forgot to pack those previously mentioned essentials! I also purchased a deodorant there before coming home as it was cheaper than at our local tesco!
The local pub has wifi and does fantastic bar meals, try out their ploughmans platter its fab and the Fish and chips were huge! and just under £10 each!
We had a lucky week with the weather and were so pleased that we chose this site with its close proximity to all the areas different attractions. We cannot wait to return.

We have been staying at this campsite for over 10 years and have seen the site develop and improve over the years under the friendly and helpful owners.
We think this is an excellent quiet well kept site with hedges and grass neatly kept. Over the Jubilee Bank Holiday the grass had been left a bit longer to make driving across it easier, not causing wheel spinning and making ruts in the field. We have found this to be normal on various campsites following wet conditions.
The toilet block is spotless, there is a well stocked shop and lots of walks from the site. One to the local pub down the road, which allows dogs.
The site is out in the country in a brilliant location yet so convenient for the City, whether travelling by car, bus, river boat or bike. (the site is close to the York/Selby cycle route.
Keep up the good work, you both do a great job.

Stayed here for 3 night break recently. Nice welcome and shown to our pitch. The pitch was in the adults only area of the site, it was grass which didn't bother us, but the length of the grass did! We would have been as well pitched in a field. I realise that over the previous weeks there had been rain but the grass hadn't been cut for a long time! For £25 per night we thought it expensive, even for jubilee weekend.
The toilet block was clean but just messy with the grass etc.
Lots of signs up with rules and regulations.
Nice walk down to the canal. The river taxi into York is well worth using, takes about 50 minutes.
Had fish and chips from the van which visits the site, absolutely delicious!
Visited the pub in the village, about a 15/20 minute walk along the grass verge of a busy road. Carvery looked very tasty but bar staff rude and abrupt so didn't stay.
Loved York and surrounding area and will visit there again but stay at another site.

A great family-run site. They couldn't do enough for us.
When we arrived for a two night stopover in our motor-home, we were told that because of the rain (there had been lots the day before), there was a flood warning and we were therefore pointed into a grass field high up above the proposed waterline. More rain in the night. And when we woke up, the Ouse had changed from a river about 50 yards wide, to a lake the size of Lake Geneva, and lapping up to the toilet block, leaving dozens of (thankfully empty) hard standings under feet of water!
But we saw enough above water to see that this is a very well - run and pretty site, incredibly convenient for York, as the bus stops at the site gate. We went off into York both days and had a great time. No hesitation in going back to Naburn on a less moist weekend!

Tidy and clean, quiet but for the road noise, nice walk to river, to watch it flood!
Close to York. Visited nearest pub in next village, which was expensive. We had to pack up or move because pitch was in danger of flooding.
Too many rules. You will obey.
Facilities were good, music was a little different in toilets?
Get a map of surrounding area or you may miss things. Go to see Eden Camp at Malton.
Doubt we will return. Would not want to be there when full / high season. We liked the chickens.

What a gem of a site!.
We only stayed one night but could not be made more welcome.
We had a pitch by the huge dog walking field which was idea for our Greyhound 'Sox'.
Showers were lovely and warm and I likes the music too.
Shop sells almost everything except booze, so stock up before you arrive.
We took the bus into York, very handy and will save a fortune on parking, the river boat sadly was not running due to the very high state of the river after all the rain.
Do take the lovely circular walk via the lock, its beautiful.
Special mention for the pub in the village, The Blacksmiths Arms. Never before have I found a pbn that has a bar just for dogs and even complimentary dog biscuits.
The menu looks superb, the spam fritters looked stunning.
We tried their breakfast served 9 till 10 on Saturdays and Sundays. It was fantastic and all for just £3.99
All in all a fab site and we hope to return with the kids next bank holiday.

Our 3rd visit to this site and still excellent. On arrival was given a choice of pitches, found a good one and had a very enjoyable 3 night stay. Lovely walks along the river and although we didn't use it this time can recommend the pub in Naburn for good quality food at reasonable prices. Once again found the facilities good and kept clean at all times. The shop has all the basics you could need and some lovely gift ideas. The owners Peter & Catherine go out of their way to be helpful, on arrival you are given a handful of leaflets with lots of local details about York and the surrounding area. All in all a great site and we will return.

Used this site many years ago in our previous 'caravan life' and it was wonderful to be back.
Excellent facilities, friendly and helpful owners and so easy to get to and from York with the bus stop just outside the site.
Did struggle a bit to get the caravan level on the first site we tried so moved to another one which was not a problem.
We did have problems with the TV reception but will be looking into how to address that issue in the future.
Will definitely recommend this site and visit again hopefully with not so many years gap!

Stayed at this site for 4 nights. Owners very pleasant and gave us a lot of leaflets about the locality. Given the choice of half a dozen pitches but unfortunately chose the one that had a wasps nest under the caravan, but thanks to our neighbours who helped us push the van on to another pitch we eventually got sorted.
Bus stop to York just outside site entrance and buses run every hour. There is also a river bus but it had stopped at the end of September.
Blacksmiths Arms in the village only a 15 minute walk away does good food at a reasonable price.
The toilet block was spotless and the piped music was a bonus.
Down by the lock which is adjacent to tent field there is a field where you can let your dog run free, our border collie loved it. To summarise I think this site has every thing you may need and we will definitely be returning.

Lovely site situated on the River. Separate field for tents with electric hook up if required. Shower block excellent and a small shop that sells essentials. Friendly and helpful owners.
Can't comment on the boat into York as didn't use it, but the nearest Park and Ride is approximately 1 mile away.
Plenty of places nearby to visit ie; Castle Howard, Jorvik Centre, and a little further afield Scarborough and Whitby. The area is good for cycling if you are feeling energetic.
All in all a lovely well run site and one I would recommend.

Nice site set out in 'sections'. Grass not cut for a while near us which spoilt it a bit. Best to get a hardstanding. Very convenient for York + Park and Ride.
Would use again. We cannot understand why there are favourable reviews of the nearby Blacksmiths Arms. When we visited for a meal the entrance door and laminated menus were greasy, the seating and carpting grubby and the choice of food very basic. We should have left but ordered a meal against our better judgement. The food was just average.
One plus point - the real ale was good!

Spent a few nights at this well-run site.
Facilities clean and well thought out. As we were under canvas and eschew the hookup, we were placed in the camping field adjacent to the lock, well away from the road. This makes a lovely campsite, flat and well mown, marred only by being 20 feet under the high flood mark on a riverside building!
Excellent regular York bus stops outside - last bus 11pm, nice cycle along cycle path with Solar System!
Our only complaint was the incessant playing of local radio 24/7 in the loos. Indescribably bad on such a quiet site!

Gutted yes Gutted that we found this site too late for a return visit but it will have a few dates on our 2012 calender!
The site is a credit to the owners who were very friendly and most helpful at all times.
They are quite strict on recycling and noise levels which is no problem with us and we are quite happy to adhere to rules and regulations to help keep the site as lovely as it is.
The site shop is great and has all you need and even has lovely presents and cards etc should you need them.
Cant believe a previous reviewer moaning about the low music in the toilets! would he rather listen to what is happening in the next cubicle! The music is lovely and not at all intrusive.
They have thought of everything and it is very very well run.
Take a rug and a bottle of wine down to the lock and watch the world go by on a sunny day its lovely.
Don't think there is anything for children to do around the area, but as we didn't have any with us I wasn't looking, and you wouldn't want them going down to the lock on their own.
Take your bikes as there is a fab, all flat, bike ride to amble along (its the Pennine way I think) it runs from the village a few mins down road, You can go to York, (approx 6 miles)or if you are a keen biker Selby (approx 9 miles)
We took the York route but didn't quite make it to York as we veered off to 2 village pubs en route and then found a home-made pie shop that sold mince and mushy pea pies yummy! Still we might make it to York next time!
Village local nice with tasty home made pub grub and only about 10 to 15 min walk from site.
There is a bus stop at the entrance to take you to york and its not as expensive as previous reviews say, it was £2. 50 (adult fare)to York. To return back to camp site the bus stop is outside the marks and spencer 'home' store.
All in all its a fantastic site and I am very hard to please!
We went with friends and it wont be the last time for any of us

This was our first ever trip with all equipment begged and borrowed from friends. We loved this place (mum, dad 2 teenage daughters)
Warm welcome on arrival and relaxed atmosphere throughout the site. Good open field with view of the lock, spacious pitches so your not to close to neighbours. Plenty of room to exercise dog by the river.
Clean toilets and good showers with plenty of hot water, these were kept clean and tidy at all times. Laundry room available if needed. On site shop for basic essentials.
Half a mile walk to the pub where we enjoyed a lovely evening meal along with our dog(Doggie bar at the back of pub) Good selection of ales. We will visit Narburn Lock again to make use of the river ferry to York(Saturdays and Sunday) York maze through the school holidays is a good day out.
Walked into York on the old railway line(5 miles) and we returned on bus which stops outside campsite. Shopping at Designer Outlet. (approx. 2 mile)
Slight noise from nearby road into York.
Thoroughly enjoyed our first camping trip and will definitely return to Naburn Lock in future!

This was our first camping trip, we spent 2 nights in midweek at this site.
Our main priority was clean toilets and showers with sufficient quantity for the site and Naburn ticked all the boxes.
There were 4 showers cubicles and 4 toilet cubicles in the Mens and 6 of each in the Womens. Both had 1 private wash sink cubicle and 4 open area sinks.
There was plenty of hot water and the backgound radio / music was an added bonus. It drowned out the noises you would normally hear in a toilet area.
There are socket outlets for hairdries and straighteners etc.
The only downside was that the showers are the retractable push button type which had to be pushed every 15 secs.
The park was 3/4 full and we did not experience any waiting for the facilities.
There was a room equipped with a washing machine, tumble dryer, ironing board and an iron. A covered external pot washing area which again had plenty of hot water.
All in all we were pleased and relieved with the standard of the wet facilities.
The park is situated around 4 miles outside of York. £10. 00 e/w by taxi or £4. 70 e/w by the local bus. The bus stop is right outside the park. There is also a boat trip into York which sets off at 9. 30am and returns at 4. 00pm on Thursdays and the weekends only. £9. 50 for adults with the usual reductions for children OAP's etc.
Naburn is a small peaceful village with 1 pub (10 mins walk) and not much else. The pub is good and friendly with 3 real ales and nice food but a bit pricey.
There are lovely walks around the area and down to / along the lock / river.
In the tent field the EHU pitches are flat but the non EHU are on a bit of a slope. Not too bad but noticeable.
The on-site shop is reasonably well stocked and has good local information. The nearest supermarket is around 2 miles away.
The owner is a typical Yorkshire lass, down to earth and to the point but friendly and helpful.
All in all a good site for our first experience and we would happily return.
