Wagtail Park - York

Joanne P.

Liked: We usually go camping with a tent every chance we get ...but we decided to try a bit of glamping. The pods are brilliant. Especially if you want a quick get away. Lovely and clean. Peter is lovely, calls you the day before with help and directions and when you get there has a vast knowledge of York and the surrounding areas. Lovely little fishing lake on site and it's very clean and peaceful. We will definitely be going back. Thank you

Liked: Lovely peaceful setting just outside York. Very handy for the Park and Ride, access to the ring road and a huge retail shopping park with supermarkets. Very friendly and informative welcome providing lots of tips for access into York and surrounding area. Facilities were modern, clean and perfectly adequate.

Disliked: Just very minor points - Our pitch was next to a large bush which had gathered a little bit of litter. The flies and midges were insane probably due to the ponds and heat we had so don't forget the insect repellent 🙂

Liked: First time camper myself and my 10 year old daughter. Peter was a huge help when I struggled with the tent and was full of useful information about the area, there is lots to do nearby. The site itself was lovely and peaceful with owls on site which my daughter got to hold. Very clean toilets and showers. Lovely stay will definitely be returning ☺️

Liked: Absolutely loved our stay at wagtail. Everything was perfect including location with a short drive to York. Toilets and showers were spotless. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. Pod was spacious and warm. Will definitely return as it was spot on.

Pete contacted us prior to arrival to confirm and help with directions and access code to secure gate. Really helpful and friendly throughout our stay, a font of knowledge about the local area and city. Short drive to shopping and York park and ride. Facilities are kept to a good standard, well stocked and clean. Good washing up area and recycling/rubbish setup with dog waste bins separately around the site. We had our dog with us and there was plenty of space and places to walk (on lead only). Lots of interesting lights and even a fairy garden which our daughter loved.

There is a fishing lake too but we didn't fish so can't comment but there were quite a few proper anglers there so must be good.

A massive bonus was the owls, there is currently has an owl rescue 'owl and about' on site run by an amazing and dedicated guy. If it hadn't of been lambing season it might of been our daughters highlight of the whole trip!

All in value for money was great and will definitely stay again.

Liked: POD is basic but provided a good base. I traveled with my 13 year old son and we took all the camping accessories that you would need. We go for the fishing on site which offers a good variety of fish to a decent size

This park is lovely! It’s very clean and ideal for a relaxing day, particularly for those who enjoy fishing. However, families may find it a bit boring since there aren’t any activities for kids. Overall, it’s a really nice place with beautiful owls.
