This site is in a perfect location. Just an easy walk into York. It is also by the river which of course can cause problems from flooding, but otherwise makes for a lovely sight just outside the entrance. The site is also perfectly placed for numerous traffic-free runs (or walks). I enjoyed turning right out of the site and following the river bank to Bishopthorpe (there is an alternative route I also used through the racecourse). From Bishopthorpe there are numerous options including the trans-Pennine route towards Selby. Needless to say the area is also full of easy (flat) cycling routes. Unlike some others we could choose our own pitch with a good choice at the time we arrived (approx 12.45). But I could not describe the assistant warden who booked us in as friendly or welcoming. Nothing to complain about - I was "processed" perfectly efficiently - but hardly the best welcome. I think a minority of wardens don't realise they are working in the hospitality industry and the effect a friendly welcome has on the visitor experience. I later met the main warden who could not have been more friendly and helpful and is a great credit to the club.
