Liked: The site is in a lovely quiet location, minimal phone signal which is just what we were after. Val is an excellent owner and made sure we had everything we needed and came around a few times for a chat. 15 minutes walk from Huby and really easy to get on the bus to Easingwold.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked: Fox Covert is a great site if you want to be near York, which was only a 20-minute drive away.
The owner was lovely. She gave me some flyers when we arrived, which gave us lots of ideas on what to do. And there is so much to do! Unfortunately, we didn't stay long enough to see everything we wanted to see. She also came to check if everything was all right.
The shower and toilet were clean, and we had more than enough space to pitch our tent and for the kids to run around. There were also horses in the field next to the site.
The site is dog-friendly, and there is a great dog kennel only a 10-minute drive away that does day boarding if you want to explore and can't take the dog with you.
Disliked: The campsite is next to a busy road and there is a RAF site nearby. We didn't mind, but if you want a quiet site, Fox Covert may not be for you as there are cars and motorcycles driving past all day and possibly some low-flying military planes.
We didn't get a lot of cell service, which made it difficult to use our phone navigation until we got closer to York and find information on touristy things.

Liked: The tranquility!
The peace and quiet, the host was amazing so friendly and caring, she came by each day some times more than once to make sure we were ok! The fox covert is basic but it’s what you want when you are camping! Back to basics!
Disliked: Would like to have known I needed to take toilet roll! But apart from that nothing it was great!
