About the site
This peaceful adult only camping and touring site is nestled just ten minutes from the centre of the historic City of York. Situated on the northern side of the city, just off the outer ring road, the site is ideally located for the city, the North York Moors and the glorious Yorkshire coastline. Tent campers are welcome across the two non electric and ten electric grass pitches. The non electric are smaller (2m x 2.5m) and allow up to two, whilst the electric pitches (6m x 6m) permit up to four. For those bringing their caravan, there are five gravel pitches available. These pitches each come with an electric hookup, welcoming up to six guests per pitch. There is also a small an intimate five pitch Caravan and Motorhome Club area on the site with hardstanding pitches for tourers, though this area doesn't get WiFi. Enjoy a morning stroll around the site's three wonderful wildlife ponds and then head to the onsite Willow Farm Café for a delicious fry up or a coffee to start the day. The site also has seasonal hardstanding pitches available for caravans. Well behaved pets and their owners are very welcome on site, there is even the onsite Doggie and Moggie dog groomers.

Great location nearby York with plenty of things around (shops, cinema etc), there's a bus outside which takes you directly to York, a lovely cafe on site. It's a long and thin campsite but they've definitely made the best of the space they've got. It's peaceful and quiet, and was very cost effective (£56 for two days and an electric hook up). Some downsides: there is no reception or permanent staff on site, ultimately not a massive deal as the communication was good via email beforehand, so no problem getting onto site or anything like that. However; it's an adult only site that doesn't accept hen parties or stag dos (according to the listing) but there was definitely children on site and a group of men (one dressed as a bride) which certainly suggests a stag do! I believe this is directly due to the lack of staff presence monitoring site. The facilities in regards to the bathroom were fine; not too far from the tent pitches like the other reviews were suggesting, however they should have more cleaning sessions scheduled by the end of our two night stay as there were no paper towels in the bathrooms and the floors were quite dirty. Definitely not the worst place we've stayed but some room for improvement. What was terrible, however, was the location of the bathrooms to the septic tank - which smelt absolutely diabolical! I feel bad for any caravan that was pitched nearby it was very overwhelming (god only knows what it's like when it's hot and sunny!) The camp pitches were good, the ground was nice and well kept. There was a portaloo nearby for tent users which was beneficial (but no light inside which made it tough to use!). Downside with the tent area is that it's very small, the tents are sharing electric hook ups and they are therefore very closely located. I personally prefer a location that offers more privacy between tents, but this wasn't possibly on this site. Overall, a good stay and if in that area, we will likely return.
Great and peaceful place, would stay again!

Our 1st visit was lovely. We are new to camping and were very pleased with the site and facilities. We have already booked to go back again for a second visit.
