We went for 6 nights over Christmas and enjoyed the best of weathers with blue skies most of the time.....we were lucky. This was the third time had stayed here over Christmas, the last time 21 years before. The site has been slightly enlarged and we pitched on the 'new' section of hardstandings. The pitch was level and seemingly well drained as overnight rain one night didn't leave any nasty puddles for the morning. The facilities were to the usual high CAMC standard as were the directions to the site. Wardens were more than helpful and always had time for a chat and to answer any queries we had. The Minster is approx 1 miles walk and everything else closer to the site so plenty to see and do even over the Christmas period. There is s 'back gate' from the site that gives access to the local shops as there was no provisions on site. Rowntree Park is close by and that generates walkers, dog walkers and joggers from the town and traffic past the site is very light. There is a construction site adjacent to the site and this has the potential of noise generation but fortunately for us the site was closed for the entire period that we were there and so the site needs to be contacted regarding this if it could be a potential problem for any visitors. Overall an ideal site for visiting York.
