Lots of sites around Britain may say they are a short walk "to the town" but this site really is a short walk from the very CENTRE of a wonderful city. The wardens here are doing a great job on this extremely popular club site. Granted there are more picturesque sites to stay at but a short level walk to shops eateries pubs museums theatres art galleries and the spectacular Minster makes up for that!!
Allocated pitches
I love this site for its location to York and the lovely pubs , restaurants and shopping. It is close to family aswell so no matter how bad it is we will still come back. I understand the site has tried to maximize the pitches and I was lucky enough to get an awning pitch which is rare as usually they are filled by tiny camper vans. This visit we were allocated a pitch there were a few left. We knew it would be a rainy weekend so the last thing I wanted was a pitch under trees. I asked why we were allocated and was told size of pitches. I accepted this and pitched up we were on pitch 23 I think which was in a corner. We had a lovely pile of dog poop in the trees in the edge. We did not put the awning up as the corner was very muddy due to its location by the edges. We did not sleep all night due to the dripping trees and when we woke in the morning the nearby which was a lot more open was still empty and remained empty for the rest of the weekend. The site should make the pitches more accessible for all size outfits and not allocate as much.
Ideal place to visit York
We had often thought of visiting York but the high price of hotels put us off. The Rowntree campsite provides a very affordable way to visit York. The site is only a 10 minute walk from the city centre, an ideal location. The site is very well maintained, the toilet facilities are the right size for the number of pitches and it was very quiet and peaceful. If we plan another visit to York or North Yorkshire we will definitely stay here again.
First and Last visit
Just returned back from our first stay at Rowntree.
On arrival there was One pitch no.32 available for large outfits (8m caravan)which required 4x4 mover to site between the pegs whilst other easier access large pitches were occupied by 5m camper vans which obviously do not fit the description of large.More diligent placement of outfits on arrival would negate these issues on such a tight site.
Site is at the top end of CAMC site pricing but the facilities are requiring updating and the site is just a sea of gravel with very little greenery overlooked by adjacent hotel and houses.
The only redeeming factor for the site is its location so close to York City Centre and all its amenities.
Will not be rushing back anytime soon.
Great location & site wardens
This was our fifth visit to York Rowntree and once again the site did not disappoint. Yes, the facilities could do with a refurb but they are all fully functional and spotlessly clean. The location is just perfect for York city centre and the bus services to other areas are all within a short walk from the site. There are also plenty of places to eat/drink at Bishopgate which is easily accessed via the gate at the back of the site.
Special mention to the site wardens who were all really welcoming and friendly and work really hard to ensure the site is kept well maintained.
Will be back again….

York
This site is well worth a visit. The access is quite narrow so you need to follow arrival times and be sensible about the speed to access the site. There are plenty of passing places so use them if need be. The wardens are organised and waiting your arrival. I always pay in advance so this does speed up the process - straight to choose a pitch. There were not many remaining but we had a good pitch and like the option for parking the caravan and car. Wash rooms and other facilities all really clean, showers could be more powerful but I say this for every site! Short 10 minute walk into York with all its attractions and great food choices. We did not go out in the car for the whole of our stay everything you need is short walk away.
Perfect ;)
À 10 min à pieds du centre de York, c’est nickel. Standing des Caravan Motorhome Club avec tous services pour CC et sanitaires très propres.
Excellent site for visiting York
Stayed here for 14 nights and an excellent site for visiting York and surrounding areas.
Staff were friendly and professional. An exit through a side gate and a five minute walk to local shops without having to venture into York was an added bonus. We will definitely return and highly recommended to all our friends.
