York Rowntree Park is a well run site which has improved over the years. We have been staying there for 15 years plus and will keep doing so. The current team running the site have got the arrival system off to a fine art and have eliminated the long Queue, down the road, that one used to encounter. The TV reception is mediocre using an aerial so the site is equipped with connection points which fully addresses this issue. The one way system round the site combined with the narrow roadways and hedges dividing the pitches makes it difficult to back and line up to some locations. However the site is flat and it is possible to man handle. The site team go out of their way to be helpful with this for those who need it. There is a great little community shopping area 5 minute walk away on Bishopsthorpe road. With a good Sicilian Café, Chippy, Deli, Pubs and other shops with a friendly community atmosphere. York Centre with all its features is a 15 minute walk away. From the site there are good walks along the river bank towards the race course as well, ideal for dog owners. For children, there are facilities on site and a park next door. There are also plenty of buses to out of town shopping centres at Monks Cross and Macarthur Glen. Once on site, you don't need to use your car. If you do want a day out, there are plenty of places within an hours drive including the East Coast Resorts. It remains an annual treat for us. Worth getting up early on the opening day for the next years bookings.
