Perfect for us

Spence, Hazel - 13/08/2026

Alders is a quiet site, with spacious pitches and plenty of space for children to play. It is in a good location for the park and ride into York, with its own little cafe and shop and nearby veg stall.The clean showers are a very generous size and it was no problem to extend our stay by an extra day.

I stayed in my tent on my own for three nights during August. I spent most of my daytime visiting a local nature reserve. My tent in The Alders was a base that I returned to and relaxed in in the evenings. Owls, a heron, grasshoppers and rabbits - all welcome! Plus an amazingly strong-voiced cow, on occasion. Beautiful, varied view, not mountains or even hills,, but enjoyable to look out on. Paul was exceptionally friendly, helpful and efficient; personable without being intrusive. Site was very secure. Site had more accommodations on it than were apparent. There were separate 'compartments' containing about 10 accommodations, each with its own space and each compartment sheltered subtly from the others, so lots of privacy even though quite a big site (?). Toilets, washing up area, rubbish bin area (that I used) immaculate and under-used. I paid £108 for three nights which I think is excellent value given all the above. Any negatives? No.

Beautiful, peaceful campsite.

Taylor, Helen - 03/08/2026

Quite simply this was a lovely quiet, calm campsite. Very friendly, clean and well maintained.Showers and toilets excellent.(They had some self contained unisex shower rooms which were nice and spacious, which makes a nice change.)The only downside was we were only staying for one night!Would definitely look to stay here again when coming back this way.
