A note from the site themselves...

Our site is family run, part of a former plant nursery which specialised in growing English indigenous trees. Some of the trees have been left to mature and now surround the holiday park giving a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere while providing a perfect home for some of Yorkshire's native wildlife. We hope to welcome you soon, Nicola

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesOct 2024

This is a beautiful site situated between trees, giving lots of privacy between pitches. Near park and ride thus avoiding taking car into York. Shower facilities warm, lots of hot water, very clean. A games room with table tennis, air hockey and snooker table all free to use. Extremely warm welcome on arrival. Will be looking to book again in the Spring as run out of time to explore all of York, which was absolutely amazing.

Beautiful, quiet campsite

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesOct 2024

Fabulous pretty, quiet site, good size pitches, with everything you need, good location with a bus stop to York just 15 minutes walk away. Great dog walk alongside the park and a good children's playing area. There was also a good pub, which was a mile away. Staff were great, friendly and very helpful. Will definitely return!

Great little site
