My advice is to look around the site first and check it out before parting with any money as there NO REFUNDS GIVEN. We did find cheaper alternatives with better facilities. ]]> Tue, 30 Aug 2011 08:56:52 +0100 1379-96 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/66-nyorshire/1379-fangfoss-park.html Hi, adding our bit! we visit this site a lot and are pleased the owners crack down on naughty children. (we take our grandkids with us a lot and expect them to be reprimanded if misbehaving, however, it seems some parents now think their kids can do anything they want.) location great for York, village pub great. pocklington nearest town with some shops, but it is so close to york and all the shopping anyway. shop on site has basics, and i mean basics! milk, bread, sweets. (stock up with wine before arrival!) never felt like a traveller site to us (an odd comment), we park on the 'platform', close to the entrance, and like the friendly feel to it all. boys love the playground and return with us when they can. no bar on site, so maybe too quiet for some. both owners helpful and know the area well, we have had some wonderful meals in the area, some 'hidden gems' can be found. (st vincent, sutton derwent is one) just found this new website, finding our way around, like it so far! sheila+bry ]]> Tue, 14 Sep 2010 18:43:34 +0100 1379-92 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/66-nyorshire/1379-fangfoss-park.html hi, this campsite has a lot of potential, great area, lovely helpful lady on reception. But there are some downsides to this site. First when you drive down the main thoroughfare to your pitch you can feel as though you are in a travellers site, as old and new caravans are stored next to pitches. Those with seasonal pitches have grass and weeds growing high around their vans. Toilets are closed at 10pm, its ok for us with vans but as for those with tents it can be quite annoying.Main gates are closed at 10pm too. Finally be careful of the warden...his manner with peoples children can leave a lot to be desired, he looks as though he just doesnt want to be there, but remember his wife is a lovely lady better to talk to her on reception if you have any problems ]]> Mon, 23 Aug 2010 13:10:13 +0100 793-43 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/66-nyorshire/793-cayton-village-caravan-park.html Quite a good dog friendly campsite. Can't remember how much it is or if they charge for dogs, but it has a large field at the back for walking dogs (off lead) and about 1 mile up the road your onto Cayton Bay beach which is excellent for dogs, with no restrictions I'm aware of. The facilities on the site are fine. There's a few pubs in the village as well as a fish and chip shop and Morrisons supermarket is only a 5 minute drive away. The only negative thing I'd say is that some of the pitches are close together. ]]> Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:58:27 +0000 784-27 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/66-nyorshire/784-blue-dolphin.html We stayed in 2004 in our trailer tent. The reception was welcoming and the pitch easy to locate. The touring field is located away from the main site and the entertainment facilities were a good 10 minute walk. The field is quite exposed and on hill with sloping pitches. The toilet facilities were vandalised when we visited, cracked mirrors, no plugs, mud smeared on the walls. Obviously the work of the less respectful children on the site. The indoor pool was always overcrowded and the changing facilities too small. It was too cold to use the outdoor pool. Facilities I thought were a bit grubby and the takeaway food of a poor reheated quality. The entertainment was good, but as with these places you had to get a seat by 7pm or not get one at all. All in all we wouldn't return to this site. ]]> Sat, 31 Oct 2009 23:03:34 +0000 802-25 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/66-nyorshire/802-goosewood.html Goosewood near York is an excellent, well maintained family site. The staff are pleasant and friendly and always working hard to maintain the park's flora and fauna. The lake is quiet and pretty with a giant chess set for participants! Highly recommended. There is no pool, club house or restaurant, just peace and tranquility. ]]> Sat, 31 Oct 2009 22:48:17 +0000 788-24 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/66-nyorshire/788-ripley-caravan-park.html Sat, 31 Oct 2009 17:33:34 +0000 784-11 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/66-nyorshire/784-blue-dolphin.html Myself & my family spent 4 nights at the blue dolphin during the month of june 04,the site is one of the largest sites we have stayed at,but i`d say the site is mainly taking up with statics,the touring pitches were set into two areas,the area we were pitched at was on a slight incline and due to the ruts made from other vans previous we did have problems levelling the van. The shower block was situated approx 12 yeards from our pitch and the door was opened via a electronic card that was given to you on arrival 16 June 2004 by Mick ]]> Mon, 07 Sep 2009 19:35:13 +0100 770-7 http://www.touringtenting.co.uk/component/content/article/66-nyorshire/770-moorside-caravan-park.html This site was one of the best sites we have ever visited. it was exceptionally clean and well kept, the wardens were very helpful and freindly.The fishing lake was very attractive and seemed well stocked.The only downside was a railway close by but we did get used to this! It is well worth a look dont think you would be dissapointed. ]]> Sun, 06 Sep 2009 22:46:08 +0100
