Great location over priced needs updating
Great location to York city centre but there are drawbacks , the toilet block needs an update with poor showers there are not enough toilets in the gents for the amount of pitches. This is an expensive site but I feel we are paying the price for the close location to york the toilets lack electric sockets for your own hair dryer there are fixed ones but not very good. Other people I have spoken to in the site all agree the price per night is expensive we will not come back here
Can't wait to return to this site
From the warm and friendly welcome, to the ease of checkout. Such a wonderful location for easy access to York and surrounding cycle routes. The key for the back gates, brings you to some fantastic shops, which we would otherwise have missed. Facilities are extremely clean and the wardens accessible. We had a power problem, which caused a problem to our van. After hours, the warden was there in less than 10 mins and sorted it for us. We'll definitely be returning and can't wait to go back.
Wonderful once again
We stayed here once again last weekend and it is so nice when you arrive to a warm welcome with the most friendly and helpful site wardens. Great site, great location already looking forward to next time.

Perfect, Always kind and welcoming.
We stay at the site quite often, usually just for 1 or 2 nights and every time we have stayed it is always easy and friendly to check in. The site is well set out and have a variety of different pitches, with awning or without awning we have always found a pitch we like. We would just like to thank the staff and hope they enjoy being at Rowntrees Site and never get any difficult customers.

Great Location
We stopped here for three nights on our very first caravan trip. The staff could not have been more helpful with parking and setting up on the pitch. Site is clean and well maintained with only a 10 minute walk to the centre of York. Have already booked to return.
Access and speed bumps
I always read the access before leaving to make sure there are no hiccups along the way. The access to the site is down a road with parked cars mostly down one side. However, we are 8ft wide and on our visit a car parked towards the bottom of the road which meant it was extremely difficult to pass. Without the help of a couple of friending locals watching each corner as I had to reverse and nudge forward, we would still be there! I would like to point out that I am not inexperienced and very know the width of my unit. It is fine for motorhomes or smaller caravans but an issue when 8ft wide. Could I suggest you add this information to your before you travel notes.
When on site we were on pitch 65 which was positioned next to the speed bumps. Not normally and issue when people are observing the five miles an hour rule, but when motorhomes are hurtling passed, it does become an issue. Rather disappointingly too, is that there are notices about the speed limit and the wardens do not seem to be concerned about the restriction either.
Good weekend stay
Great weekend stay, good location and handy for york centre.
Only 2 negatives, I have a 8m caravan and they forgot to allocate a pitch so ended up squeezing onto a small pitch. Was also unaware it was 11.15 departure, I knew it used to be when it was 12pm arrival but why cannot it be 12 departure when it is now 1pm arrival. When I said that she replied you have to be off as people arrive early, well sort that problem first and don't let people on until 1pm and then people could depart at 12.
Great for York Centre
We've just returned from 3 nights at Rowntree Park. We had a great time in York, which is a easy walk from the site. The site itself is basically car park with pitches. The wardens were friendly and helpful. The facility block is a typical club shower block and was clean throughout our stay. Next to the site is Rowntree Park, which is a large park with tennis courts, kids swings and a dog walking area, the park was closed throughout our stay due to flooding. All in all we had a great time at this site and will visit again. The site does have 2 faults. Fault one is because of the River Ouse right outside the site then in winter the site has to be regularly evacuated because of flooding. The 2nd problem is that because the site is so handy for York Centre you have to book months in advance to get a pitch at weekend. Those issues aside we can wholly recommend YRP & its wardens.
