  • Peaceful site on a 60-acre farm on the banks of the River Ouse
  • A 20-minute drive or 40-minute quiet bike ride from York
  • Three great village pubs within a 10-minute drive
A rural riverside stay on the banks of the Ouse – ooh, yes please… North Yorkshire site Hales Hill Park has a splendid 650 metres of river frontage as part of its 60-acre farm seven miles from York. With that waterside setting comes a fine spot in which to settle for a bit of birdwatching or coarse fishing (seek permission from the owners before getting your kit in place), or just to set up a deckchair, pour a drink and admire some classic country views. There’s easy access to public footpaths and bike trails too if you’d like to get out and survey your surrounds – stick to the rural lanes or pedal over to the National Cycle Network Route 65 to get up to York in 40 minutes or so (or drive it in 20 minutes if you’re a tad wobbly on two wheels). Sixty acres gives the owners plenty of space to play with, so they’ve kindly allocated a decent chunk of it to their guests – which means scope for kids to play games, for dogs to bound around and for folk to safely set up barbecues or campfires for alfresco evenings. Rather than encroach on the peaceful space, the team here have kept facilities simple, just installing showers, toilets and an area for dealing with rubbish and waste disposal. North Yorkshire not treating you to alfresco eating weather? Take your pick from any of the three country pubs within a 10-minute drive – the folk here give thumbs up to each and every one of them.

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its spacious, level pitches and peaceful rural location, offering a great base for visiting York. Guests frequently highlight the clean facilities, friendly staff and the on-site bar. Children enjoy the play park and open spaces. However, some visitors have noted issues with the cleanliness and quantity of toilets, particularly during busy periods, and occasional noise disturbance. The approach road is described as bumpy.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely little find. Nice and relaxed on the side of a river. We only stayed for 1 night but would love to go back and explore more nearby. The onsite bar was a great addition which was very warm and welcoming by the lady behind the bar and even went out of her way to sort a bowl of water out for our dogs.

Disliked The road up to the site is a little run down and bumper but fine if you take care.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Obwohl nur noch vier Bitches frei waren, hätten sicherlich noch 20 Autos Platz gehabt hätten.

Disliked Der erste Eindruck, insbesondere im Bereich der Müllentsorgung mit verfallenen Gebäuden hat es nicht gefallen. Sehr negativ. Erbitten wir, dass wir beim Online buchen als deutsche eine Adresse aus England angeben müssen. Die Kreditkarte müsste doch ausreichen, ebenso sehr negativ ist, dass Pitch up nur noch vier freie Plätze angegeben hat, obwohl auf dem Platz noch 20 Autos hätten stehen können. Das hatten wir bei mehreren Buchungen bereits erlebt, es gab, obwohl in Pitch up.com die Plätze ausgebucht waren, noch freie Plätze vorhanden waren. Das verursacht unnötig Stress

Liked Very good campsite. Stayed here previously and managed to book it last minute as another campsite fell through. Good facilities (could do with some more toilets/showers) but lovely location and the pub is a great addition. Great open space.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Really lovely place, out of way of everything but easily accessible by car, toilets were clean just an evening floors were muddy but that didn’t affect stay as we wore footwear which I would of done even if it was sparkling. Washing up area was clean and drinking water on site (didn’t use) and the lovely guy at the small little club so a few drinks of an evening and they are reasonable priced. And watch the hundreds of ducks as you come on lane as they like to sit in road 🤣

Disliked Nothing to do with site or who ran it just a few campers that had screaming teens and thought they owned the site when they came on and screaming into the night (parents didn’t seem to have control of them, I had 5 kids of all ages and all was respectful of hours and other campers) and an old guy from the caravans that stopped his silver car in front of my young daughter whilst she waited for him to pass to cross and then she had to walk around him not properly being able to see around car if anything else was coming which was so rude of him so his wife didn’t have to walk a few extra steps to get in car.

Local attractions

You’ll be wanting a trip to York, yes? Or perhaps several, given how much there is to see and do around the place, and the fact that it’s only a 20-minute drive away. Start by getting to grips with the area’s history by taking a walk around the old city walls, visiting the castle and minster and checking out the exhibits at the Jorvik Viking Centre and Yorkshire Museum. Those fascinated by things that move will certainly want to make a stop at the city’s excellent National Railway Museum; sweet-toothed types will no doubt find themselves drawn more to the tempting aromas that waft out of York’s Chocolate Story. And when it's time for a pint? It’s said there are 365 pubs within the city walls… Take a break from city wandering with a day out cheering on the gee-gees at York Racecourse (15 minutes’ drive), admiring the landscaping at Stillingfleet Lodge Gardens (25 minutes) or meeting the menagerie at Askham Bryan Wildlife & Conservation Park (15 minutes).
