We stayed here over the Christmas period as we have done other years , and once again found the site wonderful .Facilities are always kept spotless and the warden team are always friendly and helpful .The site is perfectly located for visiting York , being just a short walk from the site into the centre of town .The exit gate at top of site leads to the delightful area of Clemthorpe , only a couple of minutes walk away. Here you can buy everything you could possibly want . There is a good bread shop , a couple of small supermarkets , fresh vegetable shop and several cafe's and takeaways. You could buy a house , get some new spectacles and have your hair done in just a few short steps . Overall a perfect site , not the quietest of sites , by being a stones throw from the centre of a large city , one can hardly expect peace and quiet , but this in no way detracts from the many plus points .Two words of caution , can people visiting please follow the directions given in hand book , and please do NOT arrive before 12 0 clock . The road to the site is rather narrow and if people are queuing on the approach road to get into the site , it only antagonizes people trying to get to Rowntree Park , which has same name as site , but is a pubic park .
