Unless you have a particular need to be in York the Knaresborough CMC site is superb including a Bistro and is only about 18 miles out of York but gives you Harrogate and Dales options. Note you may not be able to take dogs on the P+R service in York, and Beechwood Grange is on the outskirts but close to a P+R (Vangarde* shopping centre.) [*correct spelling]

I have taken my two dogs on the Park and Ride, on the NorthWest of York, at Rawcliffe. Only 9 months ago, no cost for the dogs.

If you have Senior bus passes the service between Knaresborough and Harrogate is about every 7 minutes and there are two bus companies competing! Only two supermarkets in K'bro: Lidl just off the A59 to York - left at the lights opposite the Wetherby road - and Aldi a bit farther out - both are new stores. There is a M&S Foodhall on the Wetherby road retail park just inside the A658 by-pass. There is Sainsbury local at K'bro bus station and Tesco Metro on the other side of the High Street. Sainsburys, Morrisons, Asda and Waitrose in Harrogate town area but only a small Tesco Express in the town centre. (HG is the only postcode in the UK that does not have a full-sized Tesco.) Plenty of Co-ops everywhere.

Woodentop, I don't think Scottish Senior bus passes work in England.

No cheap meals on a Tuesday, in a pub then 😂🍻🍷

I came down from St Andrews, to Newcastle a couple of years ago, on the A68, When we got to our Cl site we felt as though we had been on a boat for 5 hours. Thank goodness there was a decent pub nearby.

We normally use the CAMH site York Beechwood Grange and if full Naburn Lock. Both are easy to find, good for getting the Park and Ride busses into the city and just off the ring road for touring.
There is a new site next to the CAMH site Beechwood Caravan Park which looked quite good as we passed. Being new it probably is still building up its business and might be easier to get in with competitive pricing. If you try it a review might help others.
Never got in at Naresbrough but it looks nice although a fair way out.

York Beechwood Grange had, so do check, when we used it on a regular basis a ban on being able to walk out the site with your dog, because of the horses in the adjoining fields

Naburn lock is a nice site, bus stop outside, a river taxi into York within easy walk, and then the lock itself is an interesting place, they again when we used it, section the site into Adults only at the top, also their is a bicycle track a little higher up into York, the site was another of our regulars.

Naburn Marina site very expensive for what it is, we went once, didn't return.

We have been to ones you have mention but some years ago went to this one it called York Caravan Park Adult Park because of the fishing lake and a dog walking area but we found it very easy access only 2 miles from York Minister and a ten minute bus service but you get what you pay for.
