Liked: What it says on the tin - a secure field, with a tap for water and an available toilet if required. I was in York for 2 nights, was out from 7am until late so only needed the essentials which is what I got. Host was contactable on the phone when needed. Getting in and out was super easy. No complaints.

Very disappointing. Not even worth £18

Liked: Back to basics, level pitch.
Disliked: There was one portaloo for everyone and it was disgusting and smelly. I tried to call the number provided on arrival and couldn’t get through. The grass was not mown, so on a rainy day your feet got very wet. There was a road next to the field which, although not busy, meant we were woken by traffic in the early morning . We stayed on a farm a few days before, for £20 which had lovely clean facilities- no comparison.

From the manager: Hi, I'm so sorry you were disappointed with your stay. We pride ourselves on being good hosts and I'm sorry you did not have that experience. I check and clean the portaloo many times and unfortunately unless someone gets in touch, they can be dirtied a minute after they've been cleaned. (This is unusual however as most people have been clean and respectful) The grass is a bit longer than usual as with all the wet weather we have had we didn't want to create a mud bath and for vehicles to get stuck. Kind regards, Louise
Very standard campsite

Liked: Easy to get set up, no messing about to get in, information on email made it very easy to access and lovely woman who emailed me.
Disliked: The toilet wasn’t great but took us back to basics for sure, grass could have done with a cut
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with us! We took the decision not to cut the grass down as short as usual as with all the recent bad weather, many sites have flooded creating a mud bath. we knew that by keeping the grass a bit longer the rain has somewhere to go and be soaked up. Thankfully this has happened and we have had no mud spots or flooding so hopefully you will understanding our reasoning for this. 😊 we hope to see you again in the future! Many thanks, Louise

Liked: Friendly owners, great value for money, one of few campsites to accept single sex groups. Simple setup with basic facilities felt almost like wild camping, family friendly and ideal for those looking for a cheap getaway for a few days very close to monks Cross too

From the manager: Hi, I'm sorry you felt that you didn't have a good experience based on the facilities available. This is made clear upon booking that we are just a grass field with running water and a portaloo so if you were expecting more perhaps next time you would need to book a more expensive site further in advance to secure proper toilets/showers/WiFi etc. Hopefully you enjoyed yourselves and my husband and I are always available to sort out any problems or queries you may have during your stay. Thank you for staying with us and hope to see you again in the future. Kind regards, Louise
