Review

Our first time at the campsite & our first time at a club site. We stayed for 1 night just to try out our campervan. Found eveything from booking online to checking in at the campsite very easy. Arrived a couple of hours to early to check in. We was pointed in the direction of a near by car park. So managed a walk up the river to a pub. Was a lot closer to the center than we thought it would be. Dont know if all club campsites are late check in but you feel like you have lost 1/2 day. Great campsite, very clean & nice friendly staff. Would recommend.

First Visit

An excellent site that we have waited years to visit!. Pitches seem to be booked very early, particularly for weekends, and it is almost impossible to book just a few weeks in advance! Fortunately we got a last minute cancellation. We were not disappointed, spending 4 nights in August in our motorhome. York city is an easy walk along the canal, and Rowntree Park was a lovely venue to meet up with family and the cafe facilities were good. Shopping was a short walk away at Sainsbury. The weather was hot so we enjoyed relaxing on the campsite and in the park. All in all a lovely break and we will certainly try to book again.

Check time of arrival

Had chance to visit this not so busy site but the email sent told me to arrive on site between 12 and 1400 hrs.But on arrival at 12:15 told by warden that would not be allowing on site till 1300 hrs.With this I then had to reverse off the site onto a single lane and find somewhere to park in city.Then on returning to site found that other campers had been allowed on and they informed me had been allowed to enter at 12:40 .I was annoyed then to add insult to injury all but one space was left and no choice but for me to take.After I had asked warden why couldn't email correct time he replied was busy and didn't have time and told me there were three emails going round but only one correct .But to say he was busy noticed time I stayed he spoke with guests most of time.So if you read this if like me please ask them what exact time you need to be there and don't take notice of emails you receive.York however a lovely place to visit including the railway museum.

Almost Perfect

Being very new to caravans this is only our third visit to a caravan site. The first two in Hawick and Berwick upon Tweed were a lot cheaper than this site and had water and waste on tap. We found it a pain having to keep going for water and emptying the waste thing. We were not able to book a pitch so it is first come first served so don't leave arrival too late. Our pitch was overlooked by a large budget hotel, fortunately it did not block the Sun being to the North. Toilets and showers were excellent. The location is perfect for walking into York and in fact also to the York Racecourse. We would have picnicked at the racecourse for a day if not for Covid 19.The adjacent park and lake are lovely and there is a play area and skate park for kids. Lots of wildlive around the lake. The Yorkshire Air Museum is a short drive away and we even went to Flamborough Head, had great Fish and chips and then called in at Bridlington Harbour before returning home.. Access is very tricky and our Sat-Nav took us down a dead end street where I had to reverse and turn around. Could be very interesting to meet a caravan coming the other way. In Summary. + Location + Very Clean and Well Maintained + Easy access to York & The Racecourse + Plenty of interesting locations to visit nearby + Short walk to shops and restaurants + Great for Kids - Pricey - No water taps or drainage on each pitch - Overlooked by a large hotel - No bar or entertainment - Access could be tricky. Don't rely on Satellite Navigation. Would go again just for a day at the races.

convenient site for vsiting sites of York

Visited the site just after the floods of February/March 2020 and the staff had worked very hard to get it cleaned up. The site was immaculate and the facilities were some of the best I have used in the C&M club. I would recommend the Masons Arms pub only 10 minute walk from the site, food is restaurant quality at a reasonable price.

The site itself is great, the city is even better.

York Roundtree remains a flagship site. Although I still feel it looks like a car park, it is immaculately maintained, welcoming and frankly one of the best possible sites for York. The city provides a wealth of cultural and entertainment venues. The city walls, the Minster, the Shambles. The Van Gogh exhibition was on this weekend. The site itself is great, the city is even better. If you can you should pay a visit as soon as possible.

Great site for York

First time we have tried to book this site and managed to get in straight away. We have been told how lucky we were because it’s always fully booked, and we can see why. Perfect for York centre just a stones throw away and very quiet with local shops very near. Very busy site and also very quiet and clean. We will be returning soon I hope.

5 mph

My family and I have stayed on this site many times and hope to do so many more. What we cannot understand is just how fast some motorists are driving around the site. 5 mph means 5 mph, NOT 15 mph. It seems that caravanners are in such a rush to get off the site that they forget they have their caravan in tow. Motorhomers don’t seem to be in the same rush. I do remember reading that a tragic accident happened on this site a few years ago near one of the pedestrian links. This last week we were pitched next to one of the pedestrian links where speed humps are also in place. Numerous caravanners were literally doing emergency stops just before it because they were going so fast. In the hope of preventing further accidents can all visitors please respect the 5 mph site limit, or maybe a ridiculous number of extremely high speed humps can be installed at 20 metre intervals to prevent actually exceeding 5 mph.

Early november stay

when we arrived we were greeted by a very helpful and friendly warden taking time to explain the site. off we go and find a pitch to suit mind not many available due to site constantly busy once sorted go to reception and pay once again the wardens were a mind of information and very very polite and professional. site ideal for walk into city, Rountree park excellent to walk around with the dog. sit along the river bank and watch the world go by. highly recommend the fishermans wife chippy out the back gate and turn left at top of road. Can't wait until we return to this site
