The manager came out to see us as we arrived and showed us to our pitch, they explained where all the facilities were. A great location for us and an easy walk to the centre of York along the river bank. A great restaurant and river side café.

Absolutely fantastic, we loved watching the boats going up and down the river. It could do with some more lights set up, say some standard lights, but overall good.
