About Prospect Farm Certificated Site

Just a few miles from York's historic centre, Prospect Farm Certificated Site offers a peaceful, no-frills retreat on working farmland near Dunnington. This is proper back-to-basics camping—there are no showers or toilets on site, so you'll need to be fully self-contained—but what it lacks in facilities it makes up for in tranquillity and flexibility. Electric hook-ups are available, campfires are allowed, and dogs are welcome to roam.

Open year-round and genuinely family-friendly, it's the sort of place where you can settle in for a quiet evening under the stars, then wake up ready to explore the Minster, medieval walls and bustling streets of York. Perfect for campers who value simplicity and a genuine countryside setting within easy reach of one of England's finest cities.

What visitors say

Walther W. Bakker

A wonderfully quiet campsite for when you have your own facilities like a toilet and shower. The pitches are almost half the size of a football field for your camper, with water and electricity for an all-inclusive price of £15. Emptying the toilet, grey water, and separating waste are perfectly arranged. The owners are very friendly and can provide you with excellent information for visiting York.

We were met by Stella and given a choice of pitches. The site is a lovely level field of short grass with electric hook ups. We stayed for a week and had a great time. The daily fee includes £3 of electricity which was ample for us. Facilities include mains water taps by the pitch, motorhome service point, chemical disposal plus rubbish and recycling bins. The site is well of the road so lovely and quiet. We'll come again😍

We've just spent 2 days here bank Holiday weekend with our children, it was our first time in our tourer and we absolutely loved it! Very quiet and peaceful big field for the children to run around. The owners were so welcoming and friendly. Definitely had the best first experience with our van thanks to this site.

We found the site by chance & boy are we glad we did. Stella made us so welcome we booked for a night & stayed for 3. It was like a second home & will certainly be coming back. And yes we did, this May bank weekend.
