Pete contacted us prior to arrival to confirm and help with directions and access code to secure gate. Really helpful and friendly throughout our stay, a font of knowledge about the local area and city. Short drive to shopping and York park and ride. Facilities are kept to a good standard, well stocked and clean. Good washing up area and recycling/rubbish setup with dog waste bins separately around the site. We had our dog with us and there was plenty of space and places to walk (on lead only). Lots of interesting lights and even a fairy garden which our daughter loved. There is a fishing lake too but we didn't fish so can't comment but there were quite a few proper anglers there so must be good. A massive bonus was the owls, there is currently has an owl rescue 'owl and about' on site run by an amazing and dedicated guy. If it hadn't of been lambing season it might of been our daughters highlight of the whole trip! All in value for money was great and will definitely stay again.

My only concern is that we couldn't get our Wi-Fi reception. However, we could get 5g so everything was fine. It is a well laid out site and friendly.
Great site

Had a few days in York to go and enjoy Christmas markets. This site was great. Clean, well maintained and a friendly welcome, with good size pitches. Given loads of info of local area. Shopping centre was close by as also was the park and ride into York.
Perfect for visiting York

Absolutely a gem of a find. Everything was clean and tidy. Toilets and showers were spotless and Pete was there making sure everyone was alright. We got to see the owls that were staying over in one of the pods. Couldn't have asked for a better place. Nice dog walk around the site and close to all the shops if needed.
Lovely site

Lovely situation, Peter could not have been more helpful. Very clean toilets and showers. Only drawback was rather muddy grass, more gravel areas would greatly improve it. Excellent location for visiting York and North York Moors and the coast.
Gorgeous venue and the staff were lovely

A lovely site, with super clean facilities and friendly owners. It was quiet (we visited during the week in mid-Oct). It was easy to get into central York by bus from the Park and Ride.

Wagtail is very quiet and peaceful. Peter, the owner, is very helpful and helped with information on buses taxis etc. The shower and toilet block were spotless, as was the park itself. If you like fishing, this is an absolutely ideal place with a large lake. Car is a bonus, as the bus service does not pass this campsite.
We had a great stay and Peter was very helpful

Peter called a day earlier to confirm all was well. I called him back the next day to advise we may be later than the check in time. On arrival, he was very helpful and even called a couple of pubs to arrange a booking for us. He explained where everything was located, provided a useful local guide to York and advised which park and ride would be best for us and our motor home. He also checked in on us during our stay. The site is very well kept and has a great dog walk area around the perimeter of the site. The facilities were clean and I didn't have to wait once to use them.

On arrival we were greeted by Peter the owner who was lovely! He gave us all the information about the facilities on site and a discounted taxi number and showed to our pitch. The facilities were immaculately clean, the site presentation was beautiful. The whole experience was just perfect. Our first stay couldn't have been better and definitely won't be the last 😍

The site owner is very good at making you welcome and keeps the site very clean and beautiful. The pod I stayed in was lovely, with thought having been given into their siting. The electric heater was a real bonus on a cold weekend in June.
