 Nice caravan park, ideally suited for visiting York with a bus stop directly outside.

Very peaceful and quiet site. New toilet block under construction, but temporary toilets were of a very high standard. Owners pleasant and welcoming.

Can't help but think this site will only get better over time, once building work is complete and saplings grow which currenlty separate the pitches.

Monks Cross worth a visit and ideal to stock up on provisions at the local Asda/Sainsbury's.

Would recommend and return again in the future.

 This is a nice quiet site, the pitches are the biggest we have been on. Its very handy for York with a bus stop outside the site.

The check in was quick and easy and the warden very friendly.

I was told when I booked it that the toilet block was under construction but there were two more. There was only one, it was a portable loo type but having said that it was the best portable loo I have seen.

It was very clean, but for the 30 or so pitches there was only 2 gents toilets and three showers I think the ladies was the same. Also there was no chemical toilet, the warden said to just empty it down the toilet as it all goes down the same drain !

The site was very expensive for what it was (£94)Thurs-Mon. Basically its a cl site with more pitches.

It is advertised in the tranquil sites brochure and the ones we have been on previously were miles better and a lot cheaper too.

All in all it was a pleasant stay but I don't think we will be returning

Owner's comment: he chemical waste emptying point has now been sorted out. We are very sorry that you had to use the toilet. We have been let down by the building firm that was erecting the new toilet block, but now we have a new firm in place to finish off their work, once finished, the site will be back to its best. Kind regards, Andrew.

 We stayed here just at the end of the May Bank holiday. The site was lovely and quiet. It had obviously just been extended and our pitch was in this area, against the fishing lake. As we arrived in heavy rain the mud around the hard standing was very sticky and claggy.

After a day or so this dried out and was no issue there after. The toilet block was being rebuilt at the time so a temporary mobile unit was there. These were amongst the cleanest toilets we've ever experienced and had no issue using them or the showers that were incorporated.

I didn't fish the lake, but there were a few people who di and they seemed to be enjoying the lake.

The location is good, its outside the city and a good bus service runs from outside the site gate. Its £3 return and drops you righ in the city centre, 100yards from The Shambles. There is plenty to do a see around the city. The walk around the walls is great and the usual tourist type places cater well for visitors.

I can recommend this site without hesitation, the site owners and manager were a pleasure to deal with. I recommended my Dad take his van there, he went in August and reported back the same things Id found.

A real gem, and an added bonus that there were no children on site. As a teacher I don't want to be surrounded by the little darlings when I'm on holiday

 Great site, massive pitches with provision for water, drainage and TV aerial connection. Shower block very clean and always plenty of hot water. Site is quite quiet except for the birds and farm animals from surrounding fields. No play park etc for kids which is a bit of a shame but it is perfectly safe for them to ride bikes round the site on the road as there was very little site traffic. Bus stop right outside the site which runs into York centre every 30mins.

Overall would recommend this site if you wanted somewhere near York centre and will be returning next year for sure.

 The grass was overgrown and the stoney hardstanding was uneven and looked like it was just thrown down. The showers were clean but a little bit dated. The water was at times very hot but as it only lasts about 1 minute before you have to push the dial in you have time to turn round in the small cubicle. Strange that the washing up sink was in the ladies area. A play area for children would've been nice as there was actually nothing for them to do here apart from cycle round the path.

The bus stops just outside the main gate which is very handy to go into York. The local pub is well over a mile away of which there is no footpath for at least half a mile. Site is perhaps best suited for those who have separate cars and maybe couples without children. 


Date of Visit: July 2010 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Lobraes 26 reviews from this member

 Nice campsite. Just had 2 nights on an electric pitch. Very large flat pitches which had small hedge boundaries. About 2.5 miles from York centre, walk able but first half a mile is on a grass verge. Regular buses run from outside the campsite entrance.

Showers were clean but very small. No separate pot washing facilities which would have been a nightmare if we had stayed for longer than a weekend.

There is a frustrating system in place on the entrance to the site. You have to pay £10, cash only (refundable on return) for a key fob that lets operated the barrier to let you back onto the site. Unfortunately we didn't have enough cash on us. As we were unaware of this we had to park our car outside the entrance on the first night as the office closed at 5pm. Wouldn't have been a problem if we were informed of this on booking.

Owners comments: There is a separate room (marked 'Washroom') with large stainless sinks in the ladies toilets, and 4 average sized sinks in the gents (a washing up bowl is available from reception on request).

The security barrier is in place to limit entry to only the people that are staying on site. Everyone is let through the barrier when they arrive (by the receptionist), and although the barrier always opens automatically on the way out, if you wish to return outside of office hours, you need a keyfob. The refundable deposit for the keyfob is mentioned on our website, on booking confirmation emails, and to everyone when they arrive.

 Nice quite site about three miles from the centre of York. Large pitches that were in need of some TLC as a bit overgrown. On big gripe, there was some dogs mess on our friend pitch, whcih the owner quickly cleared up.

The shower cubicles were very small, in fact our friend had to get dressed outside the cubicle, which could have been problematic as the only washing up facilities are located in the ladies block. Not very satisfactory. The shower curtains could have done with a wash. The nearest decent shop is over a mile away. The city of York is lovely and well worth a visit!

 We have just spent the last weekend here.What a lovely campsite, big pitches. Very quiet apart from the cows!

The only downside was that the washing up room was in the ladies toilet and shower room, which didn't bother my husband as he got out of doing the pots!

We parked at Monks Cross shopping centre and used the park and ride into York which only cost £4.60 return for 2 adults and 2 children.

Will be going back as we really enjoyed it.

 Went to this site 9th /10th July, Very easy to find, Nice big pitches, neatly laid out,shower and toilet facilities were first class, lovely picnic area and fishing lake.

It's only a couple of miles from York city centre

A great bus service picks you up at the bus stop

Outside the camp gates, £3.00 return was great value for money, the buses ran until past midnight which was great for us.

We went to the races and had a great day only £5 to get on the course and the kids went free, bit of a walk into York after as the buses were jam packed but you expect that.

Only downside for me was that I had one miserable couple next to us who moaned about everything we did, but that's not the site's fault.

Will be going here again without a doubt.
