Lovely clean sight, ideally located for visiting York. Park up the car for the duration and get plenty of good walks. Only slight downside is if parked to the side with children's play park in Rowntree Park can be very noisy in good weather up to park closure time.
The Place to be!
This is a top site and exceedingly busy. I had to be on the computor immediately when booking for the next year oened and already many dates were taken, The reason for this of course is because the site is IN York. Walk out the gate and you are on the river path to the centre about 10/15 minutes away. The only downside was the noise from a nearby building site but that is probably temporary. The facilities and reception are excellnt. If you do not feel like walking to the centre there is a gate which acesses an area with shops and restaurants about 10 minutes away. There is no dog walk on cite but there is a public park about 5 minutes away but dogs have to be kept on the lead. You could not get better for visiting York with its many attractions.
Excellent Site++
What a wonderful site right on the River Ouse and a 20 min walk into York. Rowntree park is well Managed by Phil, Janice and team who go about their work efficiently and in a friendly way.
Phil and his assistant were at hand to push our caravan on to its pitch for us....fantastic.
Surrounding area is superb with a lovely park right next door and walking/cycling paths outside the gate. Could not fault. John & Lib. Wirral.

LOCATION - LOCATION - LOCATION
Had a lovely 3 night stay over the Bank Holiday Weekend. What a gem of a site. Great staff, great facilities and BRILLIANT location. When checking in the warden asked if we'd previously stayed at the site.............. chance would be a fine thing, getting a booking here is like winning the caravan lottery and for this reason I do think it seems unfair that bookings are available to non members at sites that are over subscribed. Would love to go back but getting a booking is almost impossible.
Very good location for city of York
We have visited this site many times in recent years and the one thing that puts it apart is the location. A short walk into York with all its visitor attractions.
That said the site itself is similar to all other club sites the facilities offered compare with the standards of many other sites.
Due to its city location the site is compact and some noise can be expected from the adjacent park if you choose a pitch on this side. Also some pitches are shaded and get very little sun.
If I am allowed a little gripe I think the cost has become rather expensive. Two adults and a unit costs well over £32.00 at some times of the year or is it just me?

Excellent Stay
As usual excellent facilities up to and above Caravan Club usual standard. Staff very friendly and welcoming.
Have only given a 4 for peace and quiet as it is a very popular site and it was busy with outfits coming and going but it did not spoil our stay.
Situated in the centre of York but it didn't feel like you were.
Walk to the city centre was only 10 to 15 minutes walk.
Plenty to do for families and couples.
Excellent fish and chips 5 minutes walk through the back gate.
We shall definitely be back.

Another Excellent Stay
Been to this site many times and never disappointed, excellent facilites and cleanliness, staff are extremely helpful and pleasant to deal with. Highly recommend.
Another excellent stay
Stayed for three nights prior to Easter and was not disappointed.
The Wardens were friendly and helpful and kept the site immaculate.
We had pitch No.81 which was big enough for our motorhome and would accommodate a larger motorhome with overhang over the grass verge, so unsure why 8.5m is the maximum unit size. Access also not a problem.

GREAT - This site is the perfect place to get into York. just about 5-10 minute walk. Wish there was more availabily as would love to go back
Very clean, brilliant location. great for walking also. No more to say apart from wish I could go back but site is always full for weekends.
Great city break.
The organisation of this site made a busy arrival period work extremely well. We didn't even need to reverse onto a pitch as 2 wardens swooped in and offered to push it quickly onto the pitch. The number of arrivals and departures each day mean this isn't the most peaceful of sites but I suspect that most people come here to visit York itself and don't spend much of the day on site. We did use the park adjacent to the site a couple of times for walking the dog and relaxing in the sunshine. Be warned though, the ice cream van takes advantage of a captive audience with the most expensive ice creams ever! I heard families walking away complaining about it being a "rip off" but reluctant to disappoint the children. The location of this site is perfect for access to the city and the facilities are well maintained. Ideal city break.
