This is a Caravan and Motorhome Club site, so the vibe is wonderfully British. You’ll see retired couples with matching fleeces, young families with wobbly bikes, and solo travellers reading novels in deckchairs. There’s a quiet, respectful energy here. Nobody blasts music at midnight, but everyone is happy to nod hello as you walk past with a bacon butty.
The pitches are spacious, too. You’re not parked so close that you can hear your neighbour snoring (unless they’re really loud). There’s room for your awning, your table, and that inflatable sofa you bought on a whim. It feels private, even when the site is full.
When You Need a Day Off
Let’s be real for a second. Sometimes you don’t want to sightsee. You just want to sit in your caravan, watch the rain patter on the roof, and eat a packet of biscuits. Rowntree Park is perfect for that. The park itself has a playground, tennis courts, and a café that does a cracking hot chocolate. You can have a lazy day without feeling guilty.

If you do fancy an adventure, the bus stop is a two-minute walk away. You can be at the York Designer Outlet before you finish your first podcast. Or, if you’re feeling nostalgic, you can take the park-and-ride and pretend you’re a local commuting to the shops. It’s all about choice.
