York Rowntree Park is an Ideal location for visiting the city and further afield if desired. The river walks are good if you have a dog and around the city via the wall, no dogs allowed on the wall. The site can be a little noisy from the adjacent park in good weather and when the kids are off school but don't let that put you off. Its, IMOP, not a site for lazing around in all day, it’s a get out and do your thing and there is plenty to see and do. You can visit Cosmo World food for an all you can eat buffet, Bridge St, Ouse Bridge, for a very reasonable price. There are all kinds of food to try.
A visit to Eden Camp is very good and also to The Aircraft Museum which is also very good. Leaflets are in the site info room.
The two Weatherspoon pubs are good for real ale drinkers and food but there are many more pubs and eateries to visit although a bit more expensive.
We always use the showers at 17:00hrs ish after walking around all day with the dog and never found it busy at this time. The showers / toilets have always been very clean on our visits as you would expect from the CC.
Be aware, that in extreme wet weather, the site can flood and evacuation may be required which happened to us some years ago. There is a web cam that monitors the river in York which you can view prior to visiting.
If you like to get out and about, then this is great for York. If you are a site hugger, look for somewhere more scenic.
cones for some
Told not to go on a pitch with a cone on thinking they were kept for blue badge holders but young and fit couples going on the pitches after arriving late.The next time i manage a booking i will ask about the cones.
Excellent spot.
Really good spot by the river and park, five minutes and you are in York. Visit the Jorvik, museums, shambles and shop till you drop. Get a good breakfast and meals at Wetherspoons, Lovely walk along the river. There is a handy row of shops through a back gate... good for takeaways. Certainly go back here. Lovely staff too.

Rowantree York Site
I would like to recommend this site for the easy and quick walk into the centre of York and also on checking in you receive a key for the back gate which takes you out onto a street with local shops and take-aways also a Sainsbury local for all your groceries etc.
The site is very well kept and the wardens work very hard and they are very helpful with any questions regarding the area etc. Lorna and her husband are the only wardens which we spoke to and they both work very hard morning noon and night in order to keep the place tidy and ready for all new arrivals. The check out time is sometimes a bit early if you are setting out for home as you need to be out for 11.15am all days so as not to block the road for the new arrivals as it is very narrow.
Will be back again in a few years or perhaps sooner as it was good being able to park the motorhome and not need to use it until we were leaving and when you have a large motorhome it does make a difference not having to move about with it.
Not for children under 10
Not a site for families. My children could not ride their bikes or scooters nor could they run or play with their friends. They were told to play in the park outside the caravan club site. However, the caravan next to us could use foul language and keep us awake till 11pm at night. I will not be bringing my family to this site again
Schitterde camping
Schitterende camping
Dit is een fantastische camping voor een bezoek aan de mooie stad York.
De camping ligt op loopafstand van de binnenstad.
En de stad is meer dan een bezoek waard.
Het sanitair is zeer schoon en modern, de kampeer en camperplaatsen zijn ruim en netjes afgescheiden door hegjes, en voor tent kampeerders is een apart veld, kortom kan niet beter.
De beheerders van de camping zijn uitermate vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

Wedding route
We stopped here, on our Gretna Green wedding route.
Lovely place, clean, friendly and scenic.
Great on the tour bus, 24 hour ticket, to see all York has to offer.
Busy place, top wardens.
