York.. great location despite slip road shut down.... Dont arrive until 1pm
We had two very nice nights here in great weather . The Wardens do a fantastic job managing arrivals and departures in a well planned system . This is a very busy site in terms of movements and most campers only do one or two days. Only negative is that one inconsiderate member decided to pack up at 07.30 on a Sunday . Crashing and banging about it woke lots from sleep even hammering pegs out etc . Please consider others if you want to get up early BE QUIET people are on holiday . Consider others . Not much the wardens can do to control this and they really manage this difficult site well . Real Bonus is an electric battery powered service tractor ... almost silent !!
The River Works makes access one way only, through Rowntree Park but its quite easy to get through . Nice walk.. Go back along the river side walk ( same way you came in ) and then cross over the pedestrian bridge and double back other side along River Walk no traffic . Then cross foss bridge right into the city you will find all the boat trips and a few bars here .
On site .The locked gate goes through to local shopping area in 100 yards. is very handy and saves a long a long walk through the diversion . We found the Slip Inn a decent bar with friendly locals . Nice fish and chips and local Sainsburys all makes a very convenient place to stay for a few days . Best pitches for the sun are in the 80s on blue pegs. TV reception with booster at hook up if you need it Toilets very clean as per normal . Very good helpful wardens.
If you book make sure you turn up !!!
