Big site, bit cramped and outdated but would return.

This site is bound to be popular with its location being so close to York but it does feel a bit cramped. There was very few pitches to choose from when we arrived and we ended up shuffling the van into a spot behind other vans. The bathroom facilities are a little dated as previously  mentioned in other reviews but were spotlessly clean. Not quite what were used to with CC sites. Having said that, we would certainly use the site again. The supermarkets/ retail area is about 1.5 miles away and also has a park and ride to the centre of York. The site is very level and so are the pitches, mostly hard-standing with some grass. The childrens play area is excellent and has a small sports field behind it. As always, the wardens are very helpful and friendly. There were quite a few comments about poor wifi in the visitor book, but we never used it so cant comment further. Although this site has some minor niggles, the positives far outweigh the negatives and we would certainly return.

Excellent Site

Our 2nd visit to this site.. staff friendly.. site convenient for exploring York and the coast. Great for children with a nice size playing field.. perfect for ease to get away for a break short or long. Will be definitely return next year.

Nice site but toilet block needs updating

Stayed at this site recently for 9 nights. The following are what we saw as the pros and cons of the site: Pros: - Friendly and very helpful wardens. - Site well maintained. - Good level pitches. - Close to major amenities such as superstores, park & ride, etc. Cons: - Toilet block need updating. - Only one washer and dryer. Not acceptable for a site of this size. Had to get up at 6:30am to be sure you got your washing done!! - Need to take the car if you want to go anywhere. Overall Assessment: Would definitely go back but the Caravan Club really need to give consideration to updating and modernising the toilet block and increase the size of the laundry room to install more washers and dryers.

Gem of a site

My husband and I recently spent a night here without the kids to test our new van and awning. What a treat - beautifully maintained site with friendly wardens and spotlessly clean facilities. We enjoyed it so much went back the following weekend with the kids, who loved the play area and playing field. Will be going back!!

Well looked after but very busy.

The site is not that difficult to find although you do need to use a map and be observant at the roundabouts on the ring road. The approach road is wide and easy to drive up. We found the receptionist to be very friendly and helpful. She directed us to pitch 7 which she said was very popular. It is certainly a big pitch and although it is right next to the water points and shower block this may be drawback for those who like peace and quiet first thing in the morning. I found it hard to understand why some people, at 7.00 and 7.30 in the morning, thought it acceptable to carry on a loud conversation on their way past our caravan. Also, don't expect to be able to reverse your caravan into the pitch if the pitches opposite are occupied. The shower block is always clean and the showers hot and powerful. On the downside it was very busy when we were there and it is the first time I've had to queue for a shower at 9.30 in the morning. More showers needed I think.  Location is great as long as you don't want to walk to a pub/ restaurant (a Toby Carvery is about half a mile away but you'll have to risk crossing the very busy ring road to experience its culinary delights). The park and ride into York is 1.5 miles away and the easiest way to tour this beautiful city. The on site shop stocks essentials if you've forgotten anything. We were there because I was running the York 10k race and it suited our needs at the time. For a longer stay I don't think it ticks all the boxes with regard to walking to pubs/ restaurants.

Just as caravan sites used to be

It's my first visit on a club site, I was overjoyed to find that this site is just how sites used to be. The wardens were extremely friendly and helpful, the facilities were clean and full of hot water. There were loads of service points so even when my nearest one was shut for maintenance the next wasn't too far. The pitches were level and grass looked like it had been combed! We also had local friends with their children pop by who were welcomed onto the site. The play area was also perfect and with a football field what more could my family want. As a mother who had left her husband at home - lots of friendly fellow caravanners to help and chat too. Like I say just how it used to be on campsites. Thanks

Why cant all wardens be like these!

Visited this site many times and enjoy it more each time. The wardens and assistants are The most helpful on the network. They manage to keep the site and block to the highest standard. The signs indicate you cant walk a dog in the lane but it isnt necessary as the dog walk area is large and more than adequate. Chidren love the play area Its a pleasure to watch them.

Lovely Welcome

Arrived at site at a very busy time, however wardens where very welcoming and still found time to help us on our pitch. The site is just outside York and has great access to surrounding attractions.
