What customers say
This is a beautifully maintained, clean, and peaceful riverside site with excellent modern shower and toilet facilities, frequently described as the best ever experienced. Guests appreciate the convenient location for visiting York via walk, bus, or river taxi. Minor points raised include limited washing-up sinks, occasional WiFi issues, and occasional noise from nearby works, with some noting the restaurant has limited opening hours.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch (medium, no awning)
Liked Location for walks is good, regular bus service into/from York. (or river taxi/hire boat) Nice local pubs within walking distance. The site is very well run and looked after and facilities modern, and clean. Its set on a beautiful setting next to the river, with a cafe bar and restaurant. We walked into York (1 hour to the park) and took a bus back.
Disliked Young children running around unattended, slamming in and out of toilet facilities etc, and charging around park etc. these particular families were with adults staying together on the site in two separate vans.
