About Wagtail Park York
Just outside York near Huntington, Wagtail Park offers a peaceful base with a particular appeal for anglers – well-maintained fishing lakes are a highlight here, and the spotless shower and toilet facilities earn consistent praise. Owner Peter is frequently mentioned for his welcoming approach and helpful local knowledge, making arrivals feel genuinely looked after. The site's open year-round with hardstanding grass pitches for tents and tourers, plus a handful of camping pods if you fancy a bit more shelter.
The location strikes a nice balance: quiet enough to feel properly away from it all, yet handy for exploring York and the surrounding North Yorkshire attractions. Dogs are welcome, and while there's no WiFi, that's arguably part of the charm if you're after a proper switch-off. It's a straightforward, well-kept site that does the basics very well indeed.

What visitors say
Beautiful site with lots to see! The amenities are clean and easy to access. They have a stunning lake to fish and watch ducks in, bunnies galore, even some Owls being looked after. Would highly recommend the site! The staff and users are all super friendly and welcoming.

We’ve officially found our new favourite spot 😍 This place truly ticks every box for us. We can bring the dogs and kids, enjoy a full day of fishing, and relax in a beautiful, well-maintained setting. The option to book an overnight stay while still making the most of the fishing is a huge bonus. Peter was incredibly welcoming and helpful—even when we accidentally turned up a week early 🙈 The wildlife was just amazing. We were surrounded by so many ducklings coming up to say hello, and we were lucky enough to spot six deer too. Such a special place—we can’t wait to come back!

Turned up at short notice due to being let down by another campsite. Arranged over the phone and sorted us early check-in so we could leave the other site asap, very welcoming and gave us loads of information on the site and local area. After a stressful few days this was the exact thing we needed, lovely tidy site, great pitches and a stones throw from York, with easy access via a bus. Cant recommend this place enough, we will definitely be back again after finding this gem.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Peter was very nice and a wealth of local information. It was very quiet when we went. Great location, and hubby really enjoyed the fishing.
