What customers say
This immaculate riverside site boasts a beautiful setting near York. Guests rave about the new, boutique-hotel-style amenities, especially the exceptional showers. Pitches are tidy & clean with easy online check-in. Mostly peaceful, though some had WiFi issues & noted limited dishwashing areas. Cafe bar & ferry hours vary.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your kind review Kerstin! We're really pleased you enjoyed the peaceful surroundings, clean facilities, and the unique boat trip into York. It’s great to hear the bathrooms and booking process made a positive impression too.
We appreciate your helpful suggestions—adding a bench in the shower room is a great idea and we are continually considering improvements, and while the Wi-Fi is generally reliable, we’ll ask our technical team to ensure it’s working at its very best.
We hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing stay by the river!

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite (small)
Liked Really beautiful brand new facilities! Such a treat - felt more like a boutique hotel than a touring site.
Fantastic location on the riverside, very pretty walks right on site. Incredibly easy access from the A64.
Disliked Awkward pitch to get on/off with a caravan and staff were not contactable on arrival but all OK in the end.

From the manager: Thank you for your kind feedback Melody. We're so pleased you enjoyed the peaceful setting and our convenient location near the centre of York.
We’re sorry the River Taxi wasn’t operating during your stay. It’s run by a trusted partner and provided as a service to both our guests and the local community. While we don’t control the schedule, it does operate more frequently during school holidays.
We hope this didn’t detract too much from your visit, and we’d love to welcome you back again soon.
