What a gorgeous place to stay, just a stones throw away from the centre of York. Amazingly peaceful, especially considering how close you are to the city. We got an Uber to and from York, which took a while to come and collect us from the site (it seemed the driver kept collecting extra trips within the city before coming out to get us which was frustrating, but a fault with Uber, not the camp site!), so would recommend either driving or getting the bus which we were told was very close by. The staff in the café were helpful too and gave us the card for a local taxi firm which probably would have been better too. The café and gift shop are really lovely, and we had a Kinder cookie pie which was absolutely delicious! Nice coffee too. We loved looking out the front of our tent and watching the baby coots by the pond. This was probably our favourite part of our stay - the peace and quiet and nature. The shower block is a fair walk from the tent part of the site, but that's just part of camping! It took us a while to figure out how to get the best pressure out of the shower, but when we did it was fine. Despite notices in the showers apologising for low pressure, we found no issue once we got the knack! We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back :) Thank you for a lovely stay!

Beautiful campsite, however ruined by teenagers. We pitched up our tent in a beautiful spot, the whole area of tent pitches is lovely and we loved you can pick where you camp. However, we went out for dinner in York to come back to the site being full of rowdy teenagers, which made the rest of the night very unpleasant.

Thank you for your review, I am sorry to hear about 'teenagers' on the site, we are an adult-only site so there shouldn't have been any under the age of 18 booked in. We have someone on-site should there have been any issues. If you had called the number we would've sent someone down to check straight away. I hope you will come back to the site, as we would love to have you back. Thank you

Great location. Good quiet site. Having a reception/human presence to ask questions of would have been helpful. We stayed in a tent but the tent-area is such a long way from the toilet and shower facilities. This didn't make sense to me really as it is the tent campers who need those services the most. It was clean though and a nice location :) Oh, other thing to be careful about, the showers seem to be on the same water circuit as the washing up sink outside. The shower got very very hot when someone ran cold water in the outside sink. Please be aware of that, particularly if you have little ones. Aside from that (which I hope they can fix) the showers were great, decent pressure, good heat and no extra charge. Thank you for the stay, I wish you well with your site and I hope the feedback is useful to you.

Hi Kathrin, thank you for your review and glad to hear you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for your feedback regarding the toilets being far away, we understand they are a bit of a walk. We have only just started taking on camping bookings properly as of this April, we are looking into a lot of things to make this side of the site better for the future. In regards to the shower, we are aware of some issues and are trying to fix these the best we can, it can be a long process and a difficult one due to being in a field. Please note that no younger guests under 18 "little ones" will be using the showers or facilities as we are an adult only site. We appreciate your feedback and we look forward to welcoming you back! Anja.

Lovely site, very tidy and peaceful. Good location with a retail park nearby. Has a really nice café and gift shop on site, cakes were amazing. However, we were in a tent with electric hook up and upon arrival, found tents were the furthest away from toilets and showers and it was a bit of a free for all if you wanted to use electric. You just have find a spot, and hope your camping hook up reaches the socket that lots of people have to use. If you come later, you may be out of luck. This socket tower also houses the water tap, bit bizarre having electric and water together. It was a bit of a trek to the toilets, especially if you needed to go during the night. They should be nearer the tents as caravans don't have as much of a need for the toilets. I would recommend, but be aware about the little things that may make a difference to your stay.

Everything was perfect. We stayed on an electric tent pitch with no problems at all. It was very peaceful, will be returning.

Fantastic spot with grass pitch, electric hook up and a lovely café and farm shop on site. No kids makes it very much a quiet and peaceful setting with great woodland walks. Fabulous amenities and only 10mins from York City centre. Highly recommended. Many Thanks Willow Caravan Park, Dave & Sarah ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
