  • 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.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Peaceful, friendly staff at the club house, relaxing, good atmosphere

Disliked Wasps everywhere! Think we pitched on a wasps nest
Toilets/showers were not kept clean, only 1 sink so you couldn't wash your hands whilst people were brushing their teeth in a morning.

It's a nice place, but there's no access to the water; only…

Electric grass pitch

Liked It's a nice place, but there's no access to the water; only a private club has access. There's no fishing spot, as the description suggests. The river side in the photos is private, and people staying at the field aren't allowed on it. There's a nice bar, very reasonable prices, and friendly service. We were alone on the field on Sunday afternoon, which was a lovely time watching sunset.

Quiet, roomy pitches. A club house.…

Electric grass pitch

Liked The location

Disliked Toilet/shower block is absolutely disgusting! Fully flooded with water from the showers. We had to stand in awful muddy water to go to the toilet.
Would benefit from having a mop or scraper for the floor so people can clean up after themselves.
Made it very difficult to go to the toilet or get ready.

Liked it that much have rebooked to come again soon

Michelle M.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Loved the self check in and could choose our own pitch. Lovely clean site right next to the river. The ski club house was fantastic, everyone was so friendly and welcoming, they could not do enough to help. Very relaxed atmosphere. It Was fantastic to see people from the ski club on the river. This made our weekend. Without all this it would just be another field.

From the manager: Thank you for the feedback, glad you had a lovely time.

Lovely stay at Hales Hill Park. Self checkin, plenty of pitches available,…

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).
