 We booked this site as a stop over on our way up to Bridlington. We wanted to visit York, and the location was ideal for us travelling up from Norfolk.
Bearing in mind this was August, and we did book late, the owners were very helpful in fitting us in, although the site appeared full.
We had a nice grass pitch with hook up at one end of the site, which suited us just fine. Most of the pitches appeared to be seasonal, as many of the vans were unoccupied during our visit.
The wardens were delightful and helpful, and nothing was too much trouble for them.
The whole site is neat and very well kept, we watched some gardening going on near our van, so they take pride in the site which is always good to see.
The facilities were excellent, although we do use the shower in our van rather than site showers, but it all looked immaculate to us.
The entrance is easy to negotiate if you have a large outfit, and there is a barrier for security. The location is ideal for Pocklington, and we would recommend a visit to Burnby Hall Gardens there.
A short drive takes you to one of York's Park & Ride sites for easy access to the beautiful City.
We enjoyed our stay and would certainly visit again if in the area.

Fantastic place to relax, spotless and hosts very helpful. Shower and Toilet facilities immaculate.
There is a play area for children, which has swings and other equipment, plenty of spaces for children to run about.
In walking distance to Pocklington, about a 15 mins walk, although the walk is along a grass verge and sometimes the road can be busy, not ideal if you have a young family
However there is a bus stop directly outside, which appears to be reliable, having used it a couple of times
There is also Yorkway motel about 500 yards to the left, good for meals and drinks (all you can eat breakfast and dinner and evening meals and drinks all reasonably priced if you are on a budget), families are welcome.
Overall the site is great for families and adults and well maintained.

Outstanding. The cleanest bathrooms I've ever used. The owners are wonderfully friendly and the site is immaculate.
There's a place for kids to play and it's only a short journey into Pocklington.
Customer service is outstanding.

Just spent 2 nights at this site, and wish we had found it earlier in the season, what a little gem, extremely well kept site lovely wardens and owners.
Shower and toilet block immaculate and well heated.
Walked into Pocklington not too far to go, about a mile to a mile and half. There is a bus stop just outside the site for those who don't do walking.
Will look forward to next season and many more visits here

A site we use every year and have been coming to for a number of years as its central to lots of things to do with our children.
Clean, well maintained site, well priced, good play area (not as suitable for really young children ie toddlers in my opinion) and a field for football/games.
Dog walking area with a dog shower to hose off mucky paws.
We visit Allerthorpe lake so the kids can go canoeing, paddle in the lake and a nice walk for the dog, food reasonably priced.
York Maze isn't far and a great family day out and we can take the dog.
Piglets my youngest child loves going to (no dogs) and is great day out and a very reasonable price to get in. The road to get there can have lots of queuing traffic so though not far from the site it has taken us an hour to get there in the past.
Trips on the boat on the canal on a weekend/BH Monday are free (donation), last about 30 mins these can be really busy and can only accept 12 people at a time so you may have a long wait, though there is pub on the road/path leading to the cannal trip and walks.
Pocklington is a lovely place and we have visited the gardens and fed the fish (but can't now as have a dog), but nice shops and dog friendly pubs.

After a warm welcome we were put on a hardstanding pitch near the toilet block. All the grass pitches were not in use due to the waterlogging. The toilet facilities were spotless, the pot washing which was around the back were clean. Not sure if the facilities are quite big enough when the site is full but this didn't effect us.
There is a good dog walk down one side which given the wet weather was good underfoot. Pocklington is about a mile down the road. A lovely small town with a lovely Church, many coffee shops, charity shops and four or five Pubs. At least three of the pubs were dog friendly as was the Market Sq Café. The only thing we didn't like was the first 300 yards on the road into Pocklington which didn't have a pavement, that was risky.

This was our second visit to South Lea, we were greeted with a pleasant welcome from the owner. The site is over several fields but separated by shrubs and hedges making it more homely. Immaculately kept grass and flower beds add to the pleasant feeling, the pitches are a decent size with good hard standing and plenty of room. The facilities were kept clean and there's lots of hot water, all in all very good indeed.
There's a hotel nearby if you want something to eat or drink and there's lots of things to do in the area.
Worth a visit, yes very good indeed

Excellent site.
Very friendly & helpful owners & wardens.
Spotless facilities on this well maintained site.
Bus stop at entrance to Pocklington/York & opposite entrance to Beverley/Hull.
Selection of good restaurants, pubs & independent shops in Pocklington as well as Sainsburys, Aldi & Co-op.
Burnby Hall & gardens situated in Pocklington are well worth a visit & feeding the huge fish in the lake is a must!
