Christmas Shopping In York

Just back from this excellent site in the middle of York. Easy walking to the middle of York for all the High Street stores, pubs and cafes, and if you walk 10 minutes or so in the opposite direction you can find Waitrose and other big supermarkets. The excellent wardens keep the site in tip top condition and there was always plenty of hot water in the showers. The new booking in system is great and gets you on your pitch very swiftly. However, why do some members totally disregard the 12.00 arrival time which is clearly stated in the site book and e-mail confirmations. Whilst we were there motorhomes and caravans were turning up well before this time and we noticed on 5/12 that there was a couple of motorhomes and one caravan which turned up well before 11.30 and then joined by others before 12.00 resulting in Terry Avenue being blocked in both directions. There are plenty of opportunities to park up on the outskirts of York to ensure that members do not turn up early. You do not need to be a rocket scientist to judge how long it takes to get to the site from the bypass. Having said all that we will be back in December 2017 for Christmas shopping again.

Excellent

Cracking site next to river, 15mins walk to city centre and easy access avoiding most of city traffic. Very busy site and the friendly wardens work very hard keeping everyone happy and the site and facilities cleans and tidy. Take a short walk to Bishopsgate Road at back of the site, a hidden gem, delightful shops, cafes and restaurants. Sadly yet not surprising lots of club members turning up too early and queuing on narrow approach road and frequent speeding on site. Some of us just don't understand!

Excellent site

Been to this York site many times and it is always excellent. However on this visit we where surprised by how easy the new check-in process worked. A warden at the barrier checked our name, told us the pitch type we had booked and waved us through to find a pitch. Once pitched we then went to the office to pay. This avoided the usual long line of vans waiting at the gate blocking the access road.

Excellent location

Stayed for 3 frosty cold nights at the end of November. No problem as the Showers and Toilet block are nicely heated and kept very clean. Just a short walk along the river to the centre of York. Enjoyed so much we have booked another 3 nights early January.

A Great Location

Recently stayed here for three nights. Perfect for York city centre. Site is clean and extremely well kept. Busy but very quiet. Lovely, friendly wardens who clearly do a great job. Keep it up. We will be back for another visit if we can get in that is! Thank you for a nice stay.

Xmas shopping

We usually come here every November for xmas shopping. Its a 10 minute walk into town. York is full of nooks & crannies. We never tire of it. There are loads of shops. Well known shops and many independent shops. Plenty of places to eat & drink, to suit all budgets. If you leave the site by the rear gate and walk up to Bishy rd, you will find a great fish & chip shop, + Thai, Indian & Italian eating houses. Plus more independent shops. The river is directly out of the site and Rowntree Park is next door. If its culture you want then there's stacks to do. Enjoy.
