OFFERS*: Kids for £1 (aged 5-17) | Under 5s stay free | £5 refundable deposit

A popular holiday site in North Yorkshire, York Rowntree Park Club Campsite offers level pitches located on the banks of the River Ouse. Some pitches have attractive hedging and glades which provide not only a scenic treat but also ensure your privacy. The Club Campsite is within easy walking distance of the beautiful and historic city of York and also makes for an excellent base from which to explore the Yorkshire area. York itself has so much to see and do that you'll find the time can slip by all too easily. Using a pedestrian gate at the back of the site leads you to a parade of local shops, including a fantastic fish and chip shop with cafe, Indian and Thai restaurants and numerous takeaways as well as a selection of Cafe's, food and convenience shops.

Although the site is near to the city centre, it is peaceful and has a lovely rural feel, with pleasant walks down the side of the river to the Millennium bridge and more. York Rowntree Park Club Campsite is ideal for those wishing to visit York Minster - the largest gothic cathedral in northern Europe. Do include a walk to the city's medieval walls and the Shambles to get a feel of the old city with its medieval timber framed houses. You may also stumble across Snickelways of York which is a collection of small street and footpaths. Why not walk down Whip-ma-whop-ma-gate: a street of historical interest which is the shortest street in York with the longest name. Whilst staying at York Rowntree Park why not call in at the many real ale pubs, The York Dungeons, Jorvik Viking Centre and take a time-car, which will transport you back to the city's distant past. Should you have any budding archaeologists in the family, visit the ARC at St Saviours Church and train enthusiasts of all ages won't want to miss the award-winning National Railway Museum.

Great site to visit historic York.

We’ve stayed here a few times and love it. York is full of history and is a vibrant city. There are loads of things to see and do from exploring the city and it’s history to taking miles of riverside walks.

Great location

We visit this site regularly because of the great location, only a 5 minute walk into town. Also a nice walk along the river. As always site and amenities clean and wardens friendly.

Great location

Had a great stay here in York. Great location to visit the town. Spotless site and the wardens work very hard to keep it this way. Great walks nearby for our dog.

Disappointed

The site is clean and well kept, pitches in the main site look nice however we are in the cul du sac pitch number 22 , thus pitch is too small for our motorhome at 7.3 metres and we are reversed into the hedge, great can’t open the back window... Show more

Brill Stay

The site is a very clean well run and only a 10-15 minute stroll into the superb city of York. Buy a street map asap as this will save your legs. The hop on hop off tour buses run every 20 mins and are great value.
