Chowdene Certificated Location

Was rather concerned about our visit after reading the latest review. However, nothing to worry about Nice quiet CL, friendly owner. Grass cut short.! Mostly full all weekend. York races and BH weekend. £30 per night which is much cheaper than most other places around York. One toilet and shower room which was simple but practical. A chair for clothes would have been useful. Grey and fresh water sites fine. Toilet emptying was rather basic and needed a bucket of water to dispose of the waste properly. 10-12 mins walk to Monks Cross Park & Ride and retail park with shops and supermarkets etc. Bus £3.90 for adult day return into the city. Quick and easy. Walk is a 35-40 mins flat route. Overall a great stop and would definitely use it again over the usual expensive sites in York.

Very convenient for York. We didn't use the car at all, just walked into York everyday. Quite muddy but we have had a biblical amount of rain. Pitches were uneven and we arrived in the dark so couldn't see to even it up. Only one toilet/shower. Kept nice and clean but the toilet paper dispenser kept breaking so we just brought our own toilet paper. £1 for 15 minutes in the shower. We managed to get two of us through the shower for that. No extra charge for electric but the electric was very temperamental. Tripped on and off about 6 times because of various different people over the course of the weekend. Its only 10 amps, but we've never had that problem at other 10 amp sites. Owner was lovely, helped us set up, really friendly. Couldn't fault her. Overall, not bad but I probably wouldn't go back. Very convenient for staying in York and perhaps better when it's drier. Nothing wrong with it that you couldn't solve yourself with time or patience like setting up, or timing showers right.

Great CL...25 min walk from Centre of York. Park and ride just round the corner , buses every 10 mins. A bit of road noise but pretty unnoticeable after a bit. Pitches were nice, flat and roomy. 20p showers last 3 mins..but clean and work well. Catherine, the owner, was very helpful. Will be returning.

A great little site only 2 miles from the city centre. 10 minutes walk from the park and ride and amazingly quiet considering it's location. We saw deer, fox, birds, squirrels, rabbits and a delightful cat in the site. Would definitely recommended.
