Camping at Pool Bridge Farm
Bookings are NOW open for our Campsite which opens on Fri 22nd March.
We’ve drained the field to make sure even with the unpredictable British weather - the field will always be dry over Spring, Summer, and Autumn. The site is now open and throughout May and June the site will be running as last year with the current amenities ( 2 showers, male, female and accessible toilets, a pot wash station and a drinking water tap) a few minutes walk from the camping field). We have added some emergency port-a-loos to the field for now as well. with improved amenities planned to be ready for summer. There is a notice board full of information on a large tree in the campsite.
We hope the campsite will become the escape where swimmers, and their families, will come to enjoy the lakes and company of like-minded swimming folks. All campers have access to our glorious lakes and you can immersed in nature for your entire stay. Swimming available from 6:30am for campers which is an hour before we open to day guests (our members can swim from this time). So you have the opportunity for very tranquil swims.
The 6-acre campsite is set in the heart of the farm. This large, flat grass site has large Oak trees around its borders and is situated 250m from the amenities block (from late spring these will be much closer). The campsite is set in beautiful Yorkshire countryside and is the perfect place to explore York and the surrounding Yorkshire area from, with York city centre only a 10 to 15-minute drive or a 20-minute cycle ride along a bridleway away.
The campsite is also in a ‘dark area’ with limited light pollution making the star gazing, weather permitting, very special indeed.
Please note: There are NO ELECTRIC hookups, no wi-fi and limited phone data, therefore switch off your devices and enjoy the peace and quiet.
