Longer stay near York

[Jackie_374552723]

Hi There,

Was wondering if someone could offer some advice.

I will be working in York for 6 months and was originally going to rent a house. As seasoned campers it didn't take long for the idea of a caravan to develop !!

Unfortunately many of the sites round the south side of York where I would prefer to be based only allow vans on for 2 weeks maximum. I'm feeling that it would be far to much hassle to have to move every two weeks.

So - does anyone have any suggestions of sites in the York area that offer longer stays (a month would be great - i don't mind having to move every month) Also assuming I don't have an awning how long does it realistically take to pack up a caravan and move it a couple of miles and set it up again.

Many Thanks

Jackie

The Beechwood Grange site will allow 28 days but it is on the north side, although slap bang next to the ring road.

A mate of mine faced a similar situation but near Chester. He found a nice CL with EHU that would have let him stay for 3 months at a favourable rate. Have you looked at CLs/CSs

The maximum number of continuous nights on any Caravan Club site is 21 nights not 28.

Hi Jackie

I am sure that you would have no problem staying at Scalm Park as they have seasonal and long stays. I'm sure you would be able to negotiate a reasonable rate with Harry, the owner, especially if you pay cash!

It might also be worth checking Cawood Park, they do seasonal pitches, and have a clubhouse with entertainment every weekend

It is 21 nights if you do an advance booking online, but if applying by post evidently you can stay longer.

Cawood Park don't do seasonals any more. They asked them all to leave by Feb this year so they could develop the more profitable holiday homes/lodges etc. (some of the people there had been on for years ) They do still take tourers, but these are towards the back of the park, and I don't think they will take longer term tourers now.
