The Riverfront

Positiv Great location close to the river. Very clean well maintained site with nice shower block.
Small cafe on site open every day 9-4.

Easy walk , just over an hour and mostly along the river , into York although there is a bus stop in the village a short walk away and an uber was less than £9 one way

Negativ The water taxi wasn’t operating when we were there but it is quite expensive so might not have used it anyway
(Uber was under £9 for 4 of us back from York. Water taxi was £17 each return )

Positiv Everything! Gorgeous site, immaculately clean. Peaceful and oh my word; the toilets!!! It was so lovely having a shower that didnt switch off every 8 seconds! This is definitely the most luxurious campsite we have stayed on to date.

Negativ The fact we had only booked this site for 1 night! Definitely going to plan a trip back up for a couple of nights.

Positiv Toilets and shower block were the best I have ever stayed at. Very pretty location.
Nice cafe on site.
Bishopsthorp is a very pretty village, co-op close by and a couple of good pubs.
On the no 11 bus route, which is 15 mins into York City centre.

Negativ Pitches are quite small.

Positiv Everything about the campsite. Pitches were very smart with water on tap. Lovely location with it being a 3 to 4 mile walk into York. The toilet and shower facilities are excellent. It’s a pity the Bosun’s Restaurant wasn’t open (Thursday to Sunday) but we’ll give that a go next time around. The general upkeep of the entire site is amazing and a credit to all associated with its management and organisation.

Negativ If I had to be picky it would be the height of the clothing pegs in the shower cubicle.

Positiv Small and well laid out site by the river.
Very good facilities and lots of water taps.
Cafe and seating pods by the river are great.
Chip shop in the village was very good.
Easy access to Park and Ride for York.

Negativ Bosun’s restaurant and bar only opens from Thursday to Sunday, not good for the weekday visitors.
No food at pubs in the village on a Monday and Tuesday.
Arrival was self-service from e-mail info, missed that personal touch.

Positiv We loved the Riverfront. Site very clean and tidy. Excellent location being next to the river. Facilities great,cafe serving lovely food,restaurant again serving lovely food.
Showers spotlessly clean.
Village just a short walk away.
Would definitely recommend.

Negativ Although showers very clean,lacked hanging space. Need small stool to sit on when dressing. Not everyone is able to balance when putting clothes on .
Would have been nice to have had the restaurant open during the week if only for a drink and admire the lovely view.

Positiv Loved everything. The site is beautiful and the toilets are the best and cleanest I've ever seen. Loved the coffee from the wee hut and had a great couple off pints from the restaurant sitting on the balcony watching the boats pass by. Lovely walks next time I'll bring my wee dogs.

Negativ Nothing I can think off
