Great site, easy to get on the bus into York just by the entrance to the caravan park. Great cafe on site for breakfast and lunch and cake! Just toilets need a little attention.

If you're staying in a caravan or camper, it will be fine. The field for the tents was okay, a bit boggy and flooded but we stayed in mid October so that can't be avoided, but the portaloo beside it was clogged and clearly hadn't been serviced in many days, and the main amenities were a good 5 minute walk away. As for service, there was none. No one was there the entire time we stayed. I tried to call the service number to ask some questions and no one picked up. Nice and close to the main town but that was really the only upside.

Things to do on site and in the Wiggington area
Just a ten minute drive from the centre of York, a mooch around the city is a must. The York Castle Museum is a fascinating visit, transporting you back to the Victorian times with costumed guides and replica historic streets and shops.
If you are feeling brave, The York Dungeon (15 minutes) is not for the faint at heart. The high tech ghost house tells the tales of the city's dark past with live actors, special effects and guaranteed jump scares!
The National Trust, Treasurer's House, York is a ten-minute drive from the site for something a little more leisurely. The charming house is filled with beautiful 17th and 18th century furniture and has a small award-winning garden for you to explore.
Other nearby attractions include:
- Museum Gardens (10 minutes)
- Barley Hall (15 minutes)
- York Shambles (15 minutes)
- National Railway Museum York (15 minutes)
- Jorvik Viking Centre (20 minutes)
