Lovely 5 nights stay.

Lovely well kept site. The wardens are most helpful, especially Denise, who managed to arrange us not having to change pitches half way through our stay. 10 minutes walk into York, park on your doorstep, River just outside front gates, and handy shops near by. The shower block was clean and hot water . We will definitely be returning in the near future. Thanks.

Rowantree

Stayed in our Moho 3 nights 15-17 July 2019 as usual site is immaculate and wardens are exceptional, we were on pitch 27 our choosing and my only niggle would it is next to bind,elsan,and water points which is great, however why members feel the need to empty their bins and fill water butts at 1130-1145 pm at night beggars belief! Three nights in a row this happened and I would assume caravaners,perhaps a small sign would work asking members to refrain from using late at night ,just a thought

Another Great Stay.

Looked on line and got few days away at short notice.Good choice of pitch,not fussed for few days but like to be level and not need ramp.Motorhome point not ideal as on slope and a bit tight to tap.River a bit high.I like to keep checking in case we need to get out quick !!! Water for washing up needs to be hotter,repeated comments in book but wardens hav'nt taken any notice.Toilet block could be warmer and usual stale smell. York busy but always worth a visit. Racing while we were there so pubs good for people watching. Nice lady with morning pasteries from Bishopthorpe road on site 8.45am,really good start to the day.

Lovely site in great location

We stayed here for 4 nights in early June & loved it. The site is quiet despite it's proximity to York, beautifully kept & very well run. The wardens were very friendly & helpful & had a great sense of humour. York City Centre is a 10 to 15 minute walk along the river, but if you walk the other way, it's like being in the country. There are local shops including great fish & chips a 5 minute walk away out of the back gate. Ideal for anyone wanting to visit York & not move their car or motorhome during their stay. The only slight criticism & this isn't the fault of the club is that the signs on the approach roads could be bigger & easier to see. Don't use a sat nav, our "special motorhome sat nav" sent us the wrong way!

Welcome Return

Our second visit to this wonderful site. Reading some of the other reviews make me disappointed at some folks tolerance levels. We were once again greeted by the brilliant wardens at the barrier. Everything necessary was explained briefly in a good humoured way. Our pitch was a choice already coned off because of the size of our van. Can't quite believe how much space there was (pitch 35). Very happy with the excellent facilities, spotless as before. Our time went too quickly and we are already missing being there. Although it is difficult to book the exact days that you want - be flexible, it's very worth it! Hopefully back again next year. (Should I have posted a negative review to put everyone off so that there's more space for me??). Thanks for a great stay.

PERFECT LOCATION - SHAME ABOUT INCONVENIENT SHOWER AND LOO AVAILABILITY

We visit this site numerous times every year. It's always busy and very nearly impossible to book a weekend stay. It is the only club site convenient for York City Centre in a Motorhome in my opinion. Perhaps this is why repeated requests from many club members for more convenient dishwashing, loo and shower block cleaning times are being ignored. I would now like to add mine to the number of frustrated members. The Gents is closed for 45 minutes from 10.15am and the Ladies from 10.45am. When we visited last week we arrived directly from another of our favourite club sites Coniston Park Coppice, where the loos and showers are all cleaned between 1pm and 2.30. So much more convenient for the campers. Most of us need to wash our pots, use the loos and have our showers in the mornings, before going out. Also, on leaving day check out time is 11.15 - It doesn't make for a very relaxing last morning.

Friendly staff, great Location

Stopped here for 3 days and from the minute we arrived we enjoyed our experience. Site very clean and greener than expected from the reviews. On arrival we were given excellent clear instruction and throughout our visit the staff were approachable and very friendly. We didn't use any of the onsite facilities but from what we could see it looked very clean. We enjoyed the shops that were accessible from the rear gate, plenty of coffee shops, bakers and a few bars. We enjoyed excellent beer and pizza @ Angel on the green. Cost of stay on the expensive side but with the location to the centre of York its well worth the extra, we were disappointed that there was a cost for the WiFi.

Perfect location for city break

After trying to book into this site for many many years we managed to get a cancellation this week at short notice. We have never done a city location before so although the location is perfect for York city centre it does feel a bit different to the rural sites we usually visit. As others have mentioned it is a busy site with caravans quite close and not a lot of greenery, having said that it is much better than I had imagined it would be and apart from the noise coming from the park next door there is nothing to complain about. Once thing to note - beware the park gates are locked at 9pm and we nearly got locked in. I have to disagree with the comments below as yes we were met on arrival by staff explaining the rules of the site but they do this on arrival at any site. We found the staff to be extremely friendly and welcoming. There is only one toilet block but it is larger than most and as usual spotless.

Nice location not so nice staff

Was looking forward to our fiirst time at York Rowntree Park for a Birthday retreat however this was brought to an end on first arrival after pulling up to the barrier we where greeted by one of the Wardens who asked us for our membership card and told us the site rules and I felt like a child being told off after we laughed off the strict instruction about lining our van with the peg he told us that he would make us move our caravan if we didn' t what was requested. I have always abided by the rules at every site that we have stayed at both club sites and non club sites but I felt that this member of staff may need an holiday himself and maybe return with better customer service skills. I cannot fault the clealiness of the site although the site is crammed with caravans and motorhomes and only one toilet block Great location for the centre and nearby facilities Unfortunately I wont be returning to York Roundtree

Somewhere to park the whilst enjoying York.

Our second visit to York Rountree Park. Many members love this site, but I find it hard to agree. It's popularity is reflected in its being rarely available. However, it is because the City of York has such a lot to offer that the site remains full. A gentle stroll into York city centre is hard to beat. It always feels like a car park, some pitches feel far too close to each other. The adjacent hotel being constructed does not help the ambience. Staying at the site is ok and no doubt we will stay again, but it must be considered somewhere to park the Motor home whilst enjoying York.
