The River Ouse slips past the hedge line, and if you wake early enough, you'll catch the mist still hanging over the water and the first narrowboats chugging upstream.
This is a caravan and campervan site that keeps things straightforward — hardstandings and hook-ups for tourers, wifi on tap, and a dog policy you'll need to check when you book. It suits couples touring the Vale of York, retired vanlifers doing a loop of the flatlands, and anyone who wants a riverside pitch without the fuss of canvas. The location works well if you're exploring Yorkshire's market towns or using the area as a quiet stopover between the Dales and the coast.
Onsite it's unshowy — you've got the essentials and not much more. Campfires are a matter for arrival, so ask if you're hauling a fire pit. The vibe is steady rather than buzzy, the kind of place where you'll hear the river before you hear your neighbours, and that suits some people just fine.
