Beautiful, well located site

Been to Rowntree Park on numerous occasions. It is really well situated, within 10 minutes walk to York Town Centre. There is a lovely park next door and the walks along the river bank are great. Really friendly staff always willing to help. Pitch sizes are good, flat and all are close to the fresh water and Elsan and waste water points. Love this site.

Very impressed with the Warden's booking in system here

I have stayed at this site twice before but not since the renovations in 2014/15. The site is excellent for everything to do with visiting York & you can easily catch a bus to the McArthur Glenn shopping outlet. It is great for everyone and as always the toilet facilities etc. were spotless here. A big thank you to all the wardens for this. There is some noise from the large population of nearby geese, if you are a light sleeper, but the adjacent new hotel being built did not cause us any concern as we were pitched towards Rowntree Park side of the camp site and we were there for 5 nights including a weekend. What really impressed me this time was the current Warden's system for booking in. It was the slickest of any I have encountered at the peak arrivals time, which not only made for a quick registration but it was also well managed by the Senior Warden himself to reduce congestion onto the narrow road outside the campsite. Well done that team! As I am sure we would all wish for all the staff were very helpful and engaging and the actual site was the cleanest and most neatly tended I have seen it. The one and only aggravating aspect of the whole 6 days was the regular cutting through of our pitch, right alongside our van windows & bedroom, by the neighbours but the site plan and layout does not allow for this to be stopped despite the warden's best efforts to educate campers it is not polite to do this. Fantastic time once again, 15th to 21st March, 2018

1st Visit

This was our first time at Rowntree and it was as good as expected . The site is fabulously placed for a quick walk into the city with a lovely walk along the river . Next to to the site is a huge playground which is great for children. The shower block as expected for CC clubs was spotless but the water etc was not as accessible as some other CC sites. Our visit was slightly marred by what I can only describe as over zealous wardens which spoilt our stay if I am honest. All in all a fab site , access to cycle ways , the river and the city all within walking distance .

First Vist

This is our first vist after many years of try to get in. Excellent location with an easy walk along the river into York. Site was immaculate and wardens were fantastic and a god send when offered a tray of ice on arrival after a busy day and journey to make sure the wine was extra chilled!! Highly recommend and will be looking out for any late cancellation..

First holiday of the year

This was our first time on this site for a few years, not very different to what we remembered except the warehouse has gone & new pitches installed. Great to be able to park the car & be able to walk into the city & enjoy everything York has to offer, & it has a lot to offer. Plenty of good places to eat & attractions to suit all tastes. Friendly wardens only to willing to offer help & advice. There is an hotel being built next door but caused us no disruption or noise. Will visit again, (If we can get in) very popular site.

Walking distance from the Ci

This site is excellent if you wish to walk the short distance into the city centre to explore the history of this ancient place. This ease of access means many people wish to book a pitch resulting in its main drawback: it is busy. A stream of vans turn up at 12 but this is efficiently managed by the wardens who know their stuff. Like Cirencester the reception is on stilts to beat the occasional flood. But it all works well and despite being busy the site is quiet. Major building works have started adjacent to the site. Noise will be an issue, but when we were there it was unobtrusive. There were delays exiting the site because of large contractors' vehicles blocking the road. This is a good site and we booked nearly a week in the autumn to come back here again.

No grass

Although the site is quiet and peaceful we found that it lacked greenary, if you're a family this would not be a good site to stay, however it is within very easy walking distance of the City centre.

Excellent Stay

Hi we stayed at York Rowntree two nights It was a last minute booking as we were due to stay at Southport but couldn’t get over the M62 due to snow. We found our stay excellent, the wardens were excellent and the location couldn’t be any better. I would like to find separate recycling facilities on site, other than that Top Class. Thank you for your hard work.

Great Site

Stayed for February Half Term. Wardens did well coping with the freezing temperatures, Bins and Facilities emptied/cleaned regularly. Only a 5 minute walk to the centre, we did find it quicker to not go via the back gate when walking in. Nice site, will be back one day (when we manage to find a empty school holiday)
