Date of Visit: April 2013 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Aust.tourists 69 reviews from this member

 This is our second visit to this site. It is an adults only site. The pitches are large and level and fully serviced with power and electricity.

There is a small lake and it is possible to fish for a small fee.

It is quite close to York and has a regular bus service into town. The bus stop is just across the road and they run until midnight if you want to go into York at night.

The reception is very friendly and always willing to give advice about the surrounding area.

The toilets block is excellent with individual rooms containing toilet, shower, sink and hairdryer. It is close to a Toby Carvery.

They also offer secure indoor caravan storage.

We will definitely be back again.

 The site is well-located for public transport and facilities are indeed very good in comparison to many other sites. But I would argue that it isn't the 'luxury' site it wants to be. To my mind, '5-star' and 'luxury' should be supported by a bit more than private washrooms and a level site. There were few finishing touches when I compare this site to something like Trethem Mill in Cornwall - a true luxury site. For instance, no mats to stand on in the washrooms, a mirror yes, but 2 metres from the sink, water which was less than hot. I think you also need someone on duty who knows bus times, location of grey water disposal points and so on - when I was there the young lady in charge didn't have a clue. Some of the pitches are a long way from the hook-up posts so you do need amazing long connections! One thing I'd love to know is why the washrooms are so large - you could fit a bed and a small table in them and offer them as bedsits - why would you spend all that cash on building facilities that are so huge? Anyway I suppose that's great if you enjoy huge. Don't get me wrong, I'd go there again, but really do dispute the luxury tag

 This site is very well located for visiting York. Being motorhomers we value good public transport and there is an excellent service from outside the site making York totally accessible by day and night without the hassle of parking, traffic etc.

The site is extremely well cared for and maintained with excellent shower/toilet facilities (the best we've experienced)and a rural feel despite its closeness to York (approx 2 miles). We'll definitely be returning.

 This is our favourite site, we've been 9 times in 4 years. Firstly, it is easy to get to. The pitches are large and have all services to them.

Although we use our own facilities, the on site facilities are excellent, the best we've seen.

We find it very peaceful and quiet, especially since it became adult only.

The convenience of the bus stop right outside is brilliant. You can get into York or go to Leeds, Whitby, Scarborough or Bridlington.

We will continue to visit regularly.

 We are fairly new to touring but this is definitely the smartest site we have seen so far. Everything is spotless and tidy and the shower rooms so large you could hold a dance in one! You did have to try each door as they had self closing hinges so it wasn't possible to tell if they were occupied. There were extra showers in the loos too, which were just as nice.

We had a grass pitch which was slightly soft after all the rain but not a problem, it was easy to park and hook up as the pitch was very spacious. The electricity, waste and water were on each stand so no wandering halfway across the site to fill up the aqua roll and empty the waste. We were on the edge of the site and it was very quiet - it was possible to hear the main road but it wasn't in any way distracting.

The lake is very pretty and there were a number of chaps fishing while their ladies read with their feet up! The bus for York stops right outside the gate every 30 mins and takes you straight into the middle of the city - brilliant.

We had a fabulous 4 days visiting York, Castle Howard and one evening in Scarborough for fish and chips! We were VERY sad to leave and will certainly return. Can't recommend it highly enough for a wonderfully quiet break.

Reviewer: Hoolahoop 2 reviews from this member

 This is a beautiful site, pitches are well laid out around the park and a really good size. The toilets are better than any we've ever seen anywhere. They have toilers with showers and individual shower rooms which are really big. Good as any 5 star Hotel I'm sure. The staff are really pleasant and helpful and will consider requests for a particular pitch if you ask. We were to arrive late as I was working and they were excellent and helpful with this, nothing is too much trouble. Great location with a bus stops just outside for a trip to York. Will definitely visit here again and have recommended this site to friends who went in October 2012 and also think it is a great site.

 We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at YCP and would highly recommend it to anyone. It is situated within York's ring road, which can be heard at night if the wind is in the right direction, and being opposite a bus stop means that you can park your car and not need it for your whole stay but still explore a wide area.

The facilities are fantastic and kept clean and in good order. The only negative is the lack of shop - just for basics like milk and bread - but Asda and Sainsburys are only a 5 minute drive away although a farm shop would enhance the site.

 My wife and I are huge fans of the Tranquil Group having stayed at many of the adults only sites in the group. York is possibly one of the best we have stayed at, certainly the shower block is the best I have ever experienced with your own huge area combining toilet, sink, mirror and lovely shower with hangers and a huge area to dry. There were eight of these shower areas available for men and women and two more showers actual within each of the ladies and gents toilet block. This was not commonly known and on two occasions I walked past men waiting for a shower cubicle, into the gents and into a free shower!

Andrew is a lovely host and very knowledgeably of the area and happy to pass on any helpful tips. York is accessible by walking (30mins), cycle (15mins) or bus (12mins). A bus stops right outside the site, small, well behaved dogs are allowed on the bus.

A small pond and well maintained grounds make for a pleasant evening stroll if you don't want to venture of site.

If I had to have one moan, it would be the condition of the access roads and the hard standings. These are black gravel of various size resulting in a slightly unattractive appearance and difficult walking conditions when wearing flip flops.

Whilst it would represent a huge investment, the site would benefit from tarmac access roads and better hardstanding.

I will end by stating York Caravan Park is an excellent site and a credit to Andrew Wilson and all who run the site.

We will be returning very soon.

Reviewer: MGW1 1 review from this member

 Just returned on Saturday evening and would go back in a flash. The site was clean and tidy. The pitch was big and took the 6 man tent with porch easily. It was a bit uneven, but considering the amount of rain we've had recently, this was to be expected. All of the pitches were within easy reach of the shower blocks, which were the best we've experienced. We never had a problem getting a shower, even with the site being completely full.

The bus to York was spot on. At £3. 20 return, it was a bargain. York is expensive for drinks if you want the river view. £4. 40 a pint is a bit excessive. Yates' is better value for food and drink, but without the view.

We tried the Toby Carvery which was standard fayre. Ok for the money.

If you fancy fish and chips, turn right out of the site, down to the roundabout and turn left, up to the lights and turn left again. Nice chippy with freshly cooked fish. Great for when you get sick of BBQ food.

Because the site does not have a shop, you need to make sure you have a good supply of the basics, but all of the major supermarkets are within 5-10 minutes drive and the Monks Cross shopping centre is only a 10 minute drive away with all of the major shops.

So all together a great site, with great facilities in a great location. Well worth a visit but book early as this is a very popular site.

 As we don't drive our friend brought us down from North Wales. This is the best campsite we have been to and we have been to many. The shower facilities are fantastic, campsite quiet, lovely ducks and with the bus service right outside the campsite you couldn't go wrong. I really wish we lived just a bit nearer then we would come regulary. I class this campsite at 9. 5 out of 10 superb, well doneE. There is a toby cavery in walking distance which we found great. The campsite is kept well but the bushes that go to the toilets etc do need cutting back.
