Fantastic spot with grass pitch, electric hook up and a lovely café and farm shop on site. No kids makes it very much a quiet and peaceful setting with great woodland walks. Fabulous amenities and only 10mins from York City centre. Highly recommended. Many Thanks Willow Caravan Park, Dave & Sarah ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good location and easy access to the pitch. Facilities were basic but clean. The only downsides were that there was no security (reception/gates) and the road to and from facilities was pretty muddy and messy due to the rain. Would still recommend.

The site is very quiet, it was unfortunate that the shop/café wasn't open. We understand that it was between Xmas and over the New Year period, but we were not told it would be shut. Also, we had to mop out the showers before and after use, which we didn't think was great.

Things to do on site and in the Wiggington area
Just a ten minute drive from the centre of York, a mooch around the city is a must. The York Castle Museum is a fascinating visit, transporting you back to the Victorian times with costumed guides and replica historic streets and shops.
If you are feeling brave, The York Dungeon (15 minutes) is not for the faint at heart. The high tech ghost house tells the tales of the city's dark past with live actors, special effects and guaranteed jump scares!
The National Trust, Treasurer's House, York is a ten-minute drive from the site for something a little more leisurely. The charming house is filled with beautiful 17th and 18th century furniture and has a small award-winning garden for you to explore.
Other nearby attractions include:
- Museum Gardens (10 minutes)
- Barley Hall (15 minutes)
- York Shambles (15 minutes)
- National Railway Museum York (15 minutes)
- Jorvik Viking Centre (20 minutes)
