About Willow Caravan Park
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. Tents campers are welcome across the two non electric and the ten electric grass pitches. Each of the grass pitches allows up to four guests, nestled by the pond so great for wildlife spotting. 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.

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.

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.
Good stay overall

Overall, was a good stay. Site itself is clean, facilities are clean but a few spiders in there. Our main issue was how far away the shower and toilet block is away from the tent pitches. They're at the end where the caravans are, which seems odd as a lot of caravans had their own facilities. There was a portaloo situated next to the tent pitches, which was a god send in the morning and night. Café on site was great, lovely breakfast, highly recommend! Great to have all shops near (5 min drive) the site if needed for refreshments (Tesco, B&M, restaurants). Overall, would probably stay again if we were in area.
Lovely site but needs more toilets/showers for the tent pitches.

The site is perfectly located for access to York by bus with a stop right outside. Lovely maintained clean site & the toilets/showers were clean & spacious. There is a village with shops & pubs that do food in walking distance, approx 1.5 miles. The problem is that there are only 4 showers/toilets & 2 single toilets for the whole site & they are situated at the top of the site. The site has recently upgraded to 14 electric tent pitches, in addition to approx 15 motorhome/caravan pitches & some non-electric tent pitches. The toilet & shower & wash up facilities, which are needed more by the tents, are at the opposite end of the site & a good 5-8 minute walk away. One portaloo is provided at the tent end in summer but this is not enough for the number of possible tents. In nice weather, this is not too much of a problem, but in bad weather and at night, could spoil your stay. That said, we enjoyed our stay next to the pond with the sound of the rushes & the moorhens pottering about.

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)
