Wheldrake
York
YO19 6AH
Grassed, flat, well drained site with 20 electric hook ups. Plenty of space between vans. Free showers, toilets, wash basins, Chemical disposal tanks. Gents contains 2 sinks 2 urinals 2 sit down 1 shower. Ladies contains 1 sink 1 shower 3 sit downs.
Apparently there is also a dog run but as there were no dogs on site on our visit I did not find out where this was.
This is a recently constructed site so the pitches and facilities all comply with recent legislation, but watch out for tripping the electrics as they don't seem to let much power through before cutting out. The boxes are not locked so its not much of a problem really.
Shop within walking distance at Garden Centre at end of site.
Village Pub half a mile from end of site. Serves food including Sunday Carvery (Booking advisable) also does a Take Away service.
7 Miles from York town centre
2.5 miles from Air Museum
4 miles from Designer Outlet with over 1 hundred shops.
(Great for dropping girlies off while we go fishing)
Site charges are free for awnings, pets and the showers are free
. Directions: Take A19 from York to Selby and after three miles take left hand turn signed Wheldrake. Site is 4 miles on left at Garden Centre on approach into Wheldrake Village (first built up area you come to)
Fishing
30 peg lake containing Carp (Common , Mirror, Crucian)
Large chub Roach, Bream, Tench and Perch.
There are 2 islands, which are fishable from about half the pegs and a few of the pegs are adjacent to the caravan pitches (within 15 yards)
No night fishing, no hemp, no groundbait, other than in feeders. Barbless hooks only. Keep nets were being used when we were there, from a personal point of view I would only use a keep net for silver fish and anything over 3lb I would return straight back to water.
Water depth seemed to be fairly constant at 4.5 to 5 feet. Snag free bottom and a fairly open water with no real features other than the islands and a few small bank side trees and bushes which have recently been cut back.
Plenty of reed grass in margins but not giving much cover.
