Rowntree Site - York

Thanks for the link Steve.

Interesting to see. Guess the site won't be opening on 19th as originally planned after Storm Ciara!!

We rang up just before storm clara to check, was told they evacuated the site on the Sunday. We were booked in from the 11th to 14th, still not managed to stay at rowntree in last 12 years, will have to keep trying

Whilst Rowntree Park is very convenient for visiting York, especially if you want to walk into the centre there are other sites nearby which are probably not as prone to flooding. Last year we stayed at Cherry Tree Cottage which is a small site north of York, all hardstandings but no toilet block. Half hourly bus service which stops outside the Railway Museum.

Good choice, David. We've stayed there a few times. I like the Idea of a slow reduction in price the longer one stays there, as well as the convenience of the bus stop just down the road from the entrance.

Probably you who highlighted the site to me?

Only too pleased to help, David.

We were there again in early July and the works are all finished now. There are markers on the caravan club site that show where each of the flood levels were.  You would be up to your waist in water on the worst flooding's. Unbelievable!
