Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were staying for the Christmas weekend this year and were going to arrive late. The instructions sent were very clear and we were soon set up. The site is very quiet and just what we wanted. The dog walking area is very nice and safe. The toilet/shower block is great and very clean. The bus stops are very close to the gate so getting into York is very easy. We were there until Christmas day morning and we were surprised by a knock on the camper by the owners in Santa hats with a bag of treats for everyone on the site. A fantastic site which we will be using again!! If you want somewhere quiet to park up, this is the place for you.

Exceptionally clean, individual toilet/shower rooms are huge and the water is nice and hot. Best shower I've had in any site I've been to so far. Friendly welcome at reception on arrival, large flat pitches with plenty of room for awning, we were all plumbed in which is so much easier. Bus stop just outside the site takes you straight into york with the timetable posted outside reception. We will be back.

Been caravanning just over two years now and have been to quite a few sites, but York Caravan Park has been by far the best site we have been to. Recommend to us by friends we have had a great time, even though weather wasn’t great. Facilities are outstanding as are the two full time wardens we met. We have had such a great time we have already booked to comeback in May next year for a week.

2nd visit here, and it gets better every time, cleanliness of the facilities couldn’t be faulted. The grounds were kept spotless, but the two wardens Rob and Sherrie went above and beyond when we had some electrical gremlins. Robs advice was invaluable for me to be able to rectify the problem. We look forward to our next visit.

Excellent well maintained caravan park, adult only making it a nice quiet site. The pitches fully serviced and well spaced not overlooking others have been well planed. The toilets/ showers are excellent as is the laundry room etc. Very nice staff in reception and very obliging. A small pool in the centre adds to the well set out site. Bus stops at the end of the drive makes getting into town very easy being only a short ride away. A Toby carvery is only about 1/2 mile away and a local bake shop near by. Just off A 64 with good access roads.

What a great site in a good location for York and York train station, the pitches are just the largest most private we’ve ever been on , the bathrooms are also spotless and huge , the site itself is immaculate and has a really good ambiance, this site is an absolute delight and the owners should be proud …. We will definitely revisit

Really enjoyed our 3 night stay. Such a peaceful place to stay with friendly staff and visitors. Very well maintained campsite with superb facilities and easy access to York via Bus which took about 15 mins and runs around 1/2 an hour. Private bathrooms make for the best facilities I’ve experienced. Wi-Fi also very reliable. Did order a take away in one evening and seemed to plenty of options.

This site is situated around 2 miles from York City with Park and Ride minutes away or the Bus passes the site. The site itself is kept to a very high standard and I have to say the best Toilet and shower block I have ever used. The roads around the site are spacious without the usual clutter found on some sites. We shall be visiting again and for longer than our 3 nights.
