As others have said, the location is fantastic. Close to the local shops at Bishopthorpe Road and with York centre just a lovely 20-minute riverside walk away, it's ideal. I wasn't expecting the brilliant Rowntree Park just next door to be so good either - it's fantastic for kids and also has table tennis tables and a nice cafe. There's even a few cycle routes directly accessible from the site. We did the Solar Way as a family, well we got to Uranus (no jokes please) and really enjoyed it as it's flat and pretty much entirely traffic free as it follows an old railway line to Selby. The facilities are very good and clean and nice to use. There isn't a lot of space on site but it didn't feel too crowded, with the nice hedges helping to give us some privacy. There was some noise from the park but it didn't spoil our stay even though it seemed to continue into the night sometimes. I have earplugs so slept fine! But the reason the site wasn't crowded despite being fully booked (in fact we couldn't get an awning pitch, such was the demand) has to be the cost. A warden told us that people were cancelling bookings because they couldn't afford to come any more with the cost of living crisis and increased cost of fuel. But I think part of the reason has to be the site fees. It was £60 a night for the four of us - £60 for a caravan pitch!?! I have never paid more than £35 before and that came with a serviced pitch and extras. The site is great but it can't possibly be worth the money. It's not right to price it so high as caravanning should be accessible to people on low to moderate incomes. How can the club expect to attract young families on a budget at this price? We have to think about attracting and retaining the caravanners of the future to safeguard the future of the Club.
