Stayed on Chowdene mid December 2015, great welcome on arrival, site was very easy to find located very close to the Vanguard Retail Park (John Lewis, etc) and the park and ride. The weather was awful when we arrived, but the owner came out to greet us, and gave us some good information about the CL, and also York. The ground was waterlogged, but the hard standing pitches were fine, I am sure in the summer the CL is totally different, it is generally very well looked after. The toilet and shower were both excellent, clean and warm and only a short walk from the pitches. In summary this is a great CL within a stones throw from York and all its attractions - friendly owners - we will visit again - but this time when the weather is better!!
