What customers say
Peaceful countryside escape. Rocky, the site manager, is praised for being friendly & helpful. Flexible arrival/departure, dog-friendly. Facilities are clean but a bit dated. Good base for York.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Friendly and hard working man (Rocky) maintaining the site.
FHU grass and gravel campsite
Liked Really lovely welcoming people on arrival. Toilets & showers kept immaculate. Playground for the kids and relaxed feel to the site. Can tell there had been recent work done to improve the look of the site. Newly planted trees boarders and new fences. No complaints at all we look forward to camping here again.

Fantastic little site
FHU grass and gravel campsite
Liked Nice, clean site. Toilets and showers are always spotless. Rocky who runs it does a fantastic job. There is a little park for the children and a small area in the trees with a rope swing, which mine loved! I like how carefree the site is, there's not many rules as long as your respectful. We will be back again!

Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly staff and residents.
FHU grass and gravel campsite
Liked Peacefull, Not alot of kids. Dog Friendly. Rocky was very helpful throughout our holiday. Very clean facilities and on site too. Even the permanent residents are very friendly and we talked to quite a few. Pitches are level.
Disliked 1 long term resident who keeps cats. Not 1 or 2 but around 20. Grumpy old man who hates dogs. Needs to move on.

Not quite what we expected - certainly not the same as the pictures
FHU grass and gravel campsite
Liked Some of the regulars were very friendly along with the site manager.
Dog friendly - although if you are not a dog lover I could see it being a problem especially once one starts to bark all on site start.
Disliked On arrival there was no one to meet us so we ended up picking our own spot and pitching the tent.
The site looks very tired and needs some serious TLC. This includes the shower and toilet facilities. Certainly not like the pictures on Pitch Up. Such a shame as we were expecting to see a tidy old platform and a information point about its historical value from WW2.
Lucky for us we were doing a trial for a few nights of our tent with the dogs and kids. Speaking with a couple of other guests who arrived the same day as us they were just as disappointed as ourselves.
Some of the regular campers continued to make noise well after 2300 - again lucky we didn’t have small children with us.

Overall, a pleasant stay.
FHU grass and gravel campsite
Liked The park was nice and small, the kids had a tree swing to play on and the locals and their children, who I think live there were so friendly and played with my older kids.
Showers and toilets are on the older side but still very clean. Rocky who showed us around was very helpful.
Disliked One of the locals that lives there was very loud with music and shouting until 2:30am. I understand it was a Saturday night but this was not nice for us who wanted to sleep.

Grotty facilities, rundown site. Nothing like images on website. AVOID
FHU grass and gravel campsite
Liked Nice manager but that did not make up for the unpleasantness of the site/facilities
Disliked Old, run-down, grim facilities. Couldn’t find any drinking water tap. Photos on website are very misleading and nothing like the campsite itself. Definitely would not recommend

Disappointed but lesson learned read all reviews
FHU grass and gravel campsite
Liked Actually Leaving.
Disliked State of the site, not welcoming at all in fact looks scruffy. No reception on arrival apart from "Rocky" the warden who stunk of weed. Had to drive around site to get to pebble and weed pitch and the whole top end of the site is like a third world township.
The site looks nothing like the images on Pitchup.
We stayed 3 nights because we had paid in full and everywhere else was full. Would we go again. ... No

Absolutely the worst place we have ever stayed - drugs was rife.
FHU grass and gravel campsite
Liked Open space
Disliked The site is predominately full of owners in run down and awful looking caravans. They was very clicky, rude to campers and had music blasting and I mean blasting till 11:30pm each night. The smell of cannabis was disgusting, starting from 9am in the morning by the owners and they openly smoked it outside all sat gathered together. The guy who runs it Rocky was nice but let his dog poo where it wanted and didn’t pick it up. The showers were clean but dated. Owners dogs barking none stop and wandering round the site which included to our tent door. The amount of stray cats was insane, young kittens so all left breeding albeit keeps rats down but there was ALOT of cats. The play park has seen it’s day but made worse by the lack of grass cutting and strimming leaving wild mushrooms of a variety of colours and thistles growing right where the kids where supposed to be able to enjoy playing.
