Cracking site

This is one of the best sites we've ever stayed on. The facilities are very clean and plentiful and they need to be given that this is a very busy site, yet quiet and peaceful. A 5 minute saunter by the river and you're in the city (if you don't stop at one of the 4 pubs that overlook the river. PS the last pub is the cheapest!) The site is also right next door to Rowntree Park and beyond that a walk along the river side. The site is well organised and the staff friendly and helpful. We will be going back again and again!

VERY CONVENIENT FOR YORK CITY CENTRE

We loved our stay here mainly because of the location. The approach to the site can be tight especially if you encounter a badly parked vehicle on the final approach ( as we did ) . It’s a very busy site and yet still peaceful. The only let down for us was that some dog owners felt it was ok to leave their dogs loose outside of their outfits . We took our husky with us and he was attacked by a boxer dog who ran across from another caravan and we met a couple of friendlier dogs just wandering around. I’ve never encountered this on any other club site so I ant understand why it happened here, maybe we were just unlucky.

Brilliant stay after a bad start

DO NOT ARRIVE EARLY AT THIS SITE, we arrived 15 mins early at the site, the warden was extremely rude, And made us feel like naughty children, my husband was stood outside of the car to have a stretch, and was told very abruptly to GET BACK IN!! Less of the moaning, we had a very enjoyable stay, an easy walk to the city, a fantastic place, visiting the wonderful minster, the shambles, Jorvik centre, the museums, great t rooms etc. the site was lovely and quiet, to say it was full, the shower blocks immaculate we will be back, but won't arrive early next time

Convenient for city

We have stayed on this site a couple of times before and enjoyed the convenience for the city. This time we got off to a bad start,though, as the wardens insisted that we move the van after we were pitched because we were about 6 inches from the peg. Having moved, we barely had space for the water containers between the van and the hedge - it was also very difficult to tow the van off the pitch on to the one way system. Also we were shocked at the lack of recycling facilities.

Fantastic site !!!!!!!

We stayed here 2 weeks ago. The site is kept immaculate. The staff are very pleasant and friendly. Showers and toilets are excellent, the showers are hot , and the cubicles are large and spotlessly clean, and there are plenty of them--no queing here!!! The piches are spaced out with plenty of room around them. The site is in a perfect spot it's got everything---a short walk into the City. Walk in the opposite direction and you are in a lovely park--Rountrees park . Theres plenty to see and you can cycle here too. Across the road from the entrance is the river ouse and theres plenty of things to watch there , constantly boats up and down it. Exit the site at the rear and there are local shops take-aways well worth going to see it has a great chippy, that was our treat on the last night there. I am looking forward to going again as the weather was good to us too, Like other people who have stayed here I to will be looking for a longer visit, as we booked in January, and the october 3 day visit was the first available booking. We didnt need a car and being in a motorhome this was a bonus. I will definitely be back. We loved it here

4 became 9, hurray!

As your aware York Rowntree park is a busy site and were lloking forward to our 4 night stay, and on arrival and a a day in York, we were saddened that we we only had a 4 night stay available in this ideally located site and its short walk to the vibrant City york is. After a discussion with the ever helpfull wardens we embarked each evening on monitoring the on line bookings, such was our persistance we managed to turn or 4 night stay into 9 night stay, which really mad our holiday wothwhile. We will ensure were booked in for a longer stay next year. An ideal site in a great location.

A great break in York

I stayed here a week ago, Sunday to Wednesday after recovering from the shock of actually finding availability on this very popular site. It is the second time I have visited the first being about 4 years ago, highliting just how difficult it is to get on this site. I'm not going to bang on too long about this but I think it is incredibly selfish of people that block book stays on here, because that is definately what happens when the bookings open in December, people book a large number of stays but only use a few of them cancelling the others and these get snapped up quickly making it difficult for others to visit the site. That said, it is a wonderful site just 10 - 15 mins walk from the beautiful city of York. My unit is quite big and 4 tons and the wardens had thoughtfully (and logically) saved me a pitch due its size. The site was very busy for the time I was there but not intrusive or noisy. All of the ammenities were perfect as always and the staff welcoming and informative. I would visit here more often as you can always find something new to do in York with its lovely pubs, eateries and shops and it is a lovely vibrant city, but as I've said you can't get on the site. If you are lucky enough to find a space you are in for a lovely break on a great site near to a great city.

Superb location for visiting the city of York.

A ten-minute walk into the centre of the city as well as being close to excellent walks for the dog. Facilities are great and the site is reasonably quiet. Nice shops a short walk from the back of the site - great Indian restaurant and good greengrocer amongst others.

perfect caravaner

first time here and had a great time, wardens very polite, toilets very clean and tidy, visit York to see all the sites, castle, steam museum, Jorvik museum, air museum, shambles shop's so much to do. first week there, on Tuesday night the wind was getting worse, as we had a pump up awning about 4.30 am we had to take it down so never bother'd putting it up again still we had a great time what ever the weather. on the 17th sept, sunday the wardens were called to action, one of the members had taken ill, one warden had to run for the defibrillator then a paramedic arrived, the ambulance, also air ambulance, after a hour or so the patient went to hospital. i praised the warden for what he did all though he was a bit shaken he deserved praise so well done the wardens. when you see some thing like that happen it give's a lot of respect to the people who put there time and effort into looking after site and members. also come weekends the way the wardens organised new members was great on arrival showed them there pitch settle in then pay a good way to do it. on the other side a lot of noise from six am to late night sirens from police, fire, ambulances, but it did not spoil our holiday. will definitely go there again and well done all wardens.
