Best site

Stayed here in March 2017, this is one of best located sites we have ever stayed at. 10 minute walk to York centre. The toilet facilities always clean and even with site full available cubicles. Out the back gate of site within 5 mins walk a range of shops, bars and takeaways including a Sainsbury's location. Will definiately be returning, when we can get in, now booked up every weekend in 2017, this to me speaks volumes.

We all know how great York to visit but add to this the fantastic wardens you have the lot

The city of York is a fantastic place to visit, add to this a great site what more do you want. I cannot praise the current wardens too highly, they were organized at the booking in process and both approachable and visible during our stay. We had to move pitch to extend our stay I was asked to call into the office between 9 and 10 am and they would have sorted out where we could go. I was so pleased when I attended to be told to move to the pitch two doors away and not only that the wardens would help us to move!! This they did and we were set up again in no time thanks to their help what a lovely team they are. We are back again in May and look forward to another brilliant experience, thanks to the wardens who added to a great stay. For all the members with dogs it is an ideal site with excellent off site walks and York has more bars and cafes which are dog friendly, just google it and the list is amazing.

first visit

Visited York Rowntree for 4 nights. A gem of a site . Clean very spacious pitches friendly wardens. Very close to York centre also very close to local shops cafés and restaurant's. This is our first visit but will definitely be returning. The departure time at 11.15 and arrival at 12 is a brilliant idea all sites should follow this ruling.

First time visit

This was our first visit to Rowntree Park - now we know what all the fuss is about! Clean and well managed by, what we consider to be, the most friendly wardens at the club. Located within easy walking distance of local cafes and shops and a 15 minute riverside walk to York for sightseeing or shopping. We loved it and will be keeping our eye out for any cancellations!

Great site but...

There can be no better base than this site for a visit to York. There is the usual 'Home from Home" feeling here as at most club locations. All facilities are spotless and well maintained. Access is a real bugbear as mentioned by other reviewers but, to be honest, that is the situation in every part of the city and once that is overcome and you are settled into your pitch, there is little reason to use the car until running the gauntlet of the early arrivals who, whatever they are told, will ignore the instructions. The team had a plan as we arrived (at 12.30!) and executed it to perfection. Well done! We encountered two problems during our visit - 1. In order to get wet and stay warm in the shower you will have to run-about. The water pressure is very low in the block, although the standpipe pressure is fine, pointing to an inadequate boiler. 2. The internet slows to a standstill and chucks you out of the network with monotonous regularity requiring endless logging-on, particularly in the evening. Both these issues are almost certainly exacerbated by the high occupancy levels on this site. However, that is a given. Everyone has priorities and personally, I would rather the club spent some of its wealth on attention to facilities than indulging in the huge expense of a rebranding exercise.

Great location but some minor problems

We have been coming here for many years and had to evacuate due to flooding more than once but still believe this is the best located site on the whole network. So easy to walk into the city or just out of the back gate to a great selection of local shops on Bishy road. Riverside walk good for the dog as is the park. The present wardens friendly and helpful and anyone reading the reviews will see the contrast with some predecessors. Unfortunately some members as mentioned in the two previous reviews are being completely unfair to the wardens and fellow members and arriving ridiculously early or leaving ridiculously late causing serious problems on the narrow access. One day we arrived back with shopping at 11.15 am to avoid a problem to find the access road blocked by two early arrivals in front of the barrier and could not get back until just before 12.00 noon. On Sunday morning we were woken by a noisy departure just after 4.30 am! Please don't spoil a great site by being unreasonable and giving the friendly wardens a real problem.

Good but noisy

Well kept site with friendly and helpful wardens. Location is excellent for walking into York centre and it's various attractions. Didn't realise that the rules for a quiet period overnight had changed. I'm sure there was no vehicle acccess or egress allowed between 23:00 and 07:00 before? Now the gates are open for entering and leaving the site 24 hours a day. This has turned it into a noisy site with vehicle movement as early as 04:30 when we stayed. Also as previous reviewer said there were people arriving from 11:30 when the earliest arrival is supposed to be 12:00. We arrived at 12:02 and were told that 25 units had already entered the site that day.
