On arrival I was disappointed by my first sight of the campsite that looks like a large uninspiring car park, without the feel good factor you get on some of the other CAMC sites. But then things started to change: 1. A very warm welcome by the lovely staff; 2. The usual high quality facilities and cleanliness that you get on CAMC sites; 3. The great location which is quiet and peaceful and yet just a short walk from the centre of York, which is the very reason we came here; 4. Then we discovered the Rowntree park just beside the campsite - great for walking, cycling, children etc. 5. And the bonus was out of the back gate of the campsite, you will find Bishopthorpe Road - a small buzzing community of shops and restaurants right on your doorstep - the icing on the cake. This campsite has so much to offer - we will definitely be back to have more time here to better enjoy all the opportunities.
