Wagtail Park is a quiet, 10-acre touring park in Huntington, on the north-eastern edge of York. We offer spacious pitches for touring caravans and motorhomes, heated camping pods and a private coarse fishing lake, all in a peaceful country setting a few minutes from the city.
If you are comparing caravan parks near York, location usually decides it. Ours is simple: easy to reach from the A64 and A1237 ring road, 1.5 miles from Monks Cross Park & Ride, and far enough from the centre to enjoy quiet evenings by the lake. Arrive, set up once, and use us as a calm base for York and North Yorkshire.
Many touring caravan sites in York are either deep in the countryside or squeezed into the city. Wagtail Park sits between the two: rural and quiet, but connected to the main road network and to public transport into York.
Large setups need simple routes. We are a short drive from the A64 and close to the A1237 outer ring road, so there is no need to tow through the city centre, tackle narrow village lanes or worry about low bridges.
Our entrance and internal roads are wide, which makes arrival and departure straightforward for twin-axle caravans, large motorhomes and long towing outfits. For sat nav, use YO32 9SU.
Driving directions & map →Monks Cross Park & Ride is 1.5 miles from our entrance, about a three-minute drive. Leave your caravan set up on its pitch, park at Monks Cross and take the bus into the city centre, with services running roughly every 10 to 12 minutes.
You are dropped within easy walking distance of York Minster, the Shambles and the city's museums, with no city-centre parking to find or pay for. That makes us one of the most practical campsites near Monks Cross Park and Ride for a car-free day in York. Monks Cross and the neighbouring Vangarde Shopping Park also have supermarkets, shops and restaurants.
Monks Cross & the local area →Whether you tour with your own caravan or motorhome or prefer a simple pod break, every stay comes with space, quiet and easy access to York. Unlike many caravan parks near York, our pitches are sized for modern outfits rather than squeezed in.
Our pitches measure around 80m², with room for your outfit, awning, car and outdoor seating without feeling hemmed in by neighbours.
Prefer to camp under canvas? Our spacious grass touring areas welcome tents as readily as caravans and motorhomes, with plenty of room to pitch and settle in.
Our camping pods in York offer a simple, affordable alternative to a tent. Each insulated timber pod has electric heating, lighting and power sockets, so it stays comfortable in spring, autumn and winter as well as summer.
The park is built around two things guests ask about most: somewhere peaceful to spend the day, and clean, warm facilities to come back to.
At the centre of the 10-acre site is our private coarse fishing lake, reserved exclusively for park guests. Its 25 pegs mean you can find a quiet spot without crowds, often within sight of your own pitch.
The lake is stocked with carp, tench and roach, suited to relaxed pleasure fishing as well as more experienced anglers. Anglers aged 13 and over need a valid Environment Agency rod licence.
