Far too expensive

While I tend to agree, we were at Knaresborough Monday - Friday 13 th - 17th May and the site was virtually full every night, so clearly many members feel that it’s value for money

Plenty of choices near Knaresborough -  there are 14 other sites within 5 miles of the town. 

Harrogate Caravan Park (highly recommended) would have cost you about £44 plus a little more for dogs and an extra car should you have one. Nice farm shop next door. Over bank holidays there is a three day minimum booking. (which the Club don't have). It's interesting looking at the fees of the respective sites, the Club charge far more for extra adults and children (over a certain age)

“Harrogate Caravan Park”

Noted. We’ve been meaning to visit Harlow Carr for a few years now and it looks ideally located, only £28 a night for us👍

It used to be the old Great Yorkshire Showground site run by the CMC years ago. In the lobby of the toilet block is a large aerial photograph of the old site. Next to the site is a nice farm shop and restaurant. At the end of the road is a Sainsburys supermarket and buses into Harrogate.

When have you booked this for?

I have a week booked in August, currently only for 2 adults as I'm not sure how long our granddaughter is going to be with us.....

On current prices it is £311 (£1.20 more than what I've paid), adding a child it is £342.20 which equates to £48.90pn

Which I am prepared to pay.

Edit to previous post.... apologies as I missed 3 adults..... our booking will obviously increase in cost when I add my daughter & granddaughter for however long they are with us....

But happy to pay it for some quality time with them both.....

We rarely use site facilities either, so look for CLs with hardstandings and , ideally, serviced pitches.

We also like to have our daughter and 2 grandchildren along when possible, which now is only possible in school holidays, so even more reason to seek out CLs.

At Easter we spent 8 nights just outside York on a CL with HS and serviced pitch, £22 per night.   And used one in North Wales that was only £18, which did have a good toilet and shower available.

We very rarely use CAMC sites these days, CLs , CSs, CCC sites and many commercials offer us better value.

Harrogate Caravan Park is very nice if you are doing an event at Harrogate Showground. Fodder is the big farm shop DK mentioned next door, and there are nice walks direct from the Site. It’s not that close to Harrogate town centre, but on bus routes. You cannot book it for Great Yorkshire Show though in July.

Freddy, Harlow Carr is a lovely full day out. Huge car park. There are some nice CLs in the vicinity as well. We have used two so far, one with CCC.

Prices went right up when electric had a large hike after covid . I agree with the poster that the prices at Bank Holidays are over the top .  Its fine when your able to go off peak but its hard on working families . Weve just been to North Yorkshire and stayed away just two days and not three so the club misses out ,  I stayed at Troubeck Head recently and its facilities are really five star hotel standard . The Club dosnt need to spend so much on luxury at this level when people are caravanning and most have bathrooms . 

Final point I really hate joining the inevitable queue waiting to get on at 13.00 and wondered who made this rule  ??  What the outcome would it be if members were surveyed ? . I have never met ONE MEMBER who agrees with the 13.00 site opening . Get them off site at 11am and allow entry at 12.00 so members can get on with their day at a decent time.
