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.
