This is a top site and exceedingly busy. I had to be on the computor immediately when booking for the next year oened and already many dates were taken, The reason for this of course is because the site is IN York. Walk out the gate and you are on the river path to the centre about 10/15 minutes away. The only downside was the noise from a nearby building site but that is probably temporary. The facilities and reception are excellnt. If you do not feel like walking to the centre there is a gate which acesses an area with shops and restaurants about 10 minutes away. There is no dog walk on cite but there is a public park about 5 minutes away but dogs have to be kept on the lead. You could not get better for visiting York with its many attractions.
