The gravel crunches under your tyres as you roll into Old Hall, and beyond the static vans there's a pocket of York's countryside quiet — flat farmland horizons, the distant hum of the A64, skylarks if you're up early enough.
This is a straightforward touring park for caravanners and motorhomers passing through York or using it as a base to explore the city and the Vale. Dog owners should ask ahead about specific pitch rules, and it's worth checking the campfire policy when you arrive — flexibility seems to vary. The location puts you within easy reach of York's walls and minster, the North York Moors to the east, and the Dales an hour west, so it works well as a stopover or a longer stay if you're touring the region.
Facilities aren't detailed, so it's best to ring ahead if you need specifics — hook-ups, shower blocks, that sort of thing. The vibe feels low-key and functional rather than glamorous; a place to park up, sort yourself out, and get on with exploring Yorkshire without fuss.
