Hi, as I get older I forget stuff.  frown  Didn’t this site used to have a maximum vehicle length of 9m 50cm?  Thank you.

Quick update:
 
My wife contacted the Regional Manager’s team, very helpful and understanding. 
 
The Regional Manager visited Rowntree to discuss pitching and outfit lengths accepted on the larger pitches on site.  During previous conversations between staff and the Regional Manager it appears there has been a misinterpretation of what these larger pitches can accommodate.  
 
Going forward, the on line booking will remain the same, where it will only allow bookings of max. 8.5 m outfits, however, as in previous years, should a guest have a larger outfit, they will be able to contact the site direct and book one of the larger pitches, should they be available at that time.  Therefore, the site will in the future, as it has in the past, be able to accommodate your outfit length should one of the larger pitches be available at the time of your booking and stay.
 
Telephone number of site is 01904 658997.
 
I expect that this will apply across all Club sites.

I was asked by a former staff member why I had raised the topic.  

Reason is that on my last visit to Rowntree I was told that my van was a bit too long and that 8m50cm was max, shouldn't be on here as it's a risk, you'll never get on again etc.  (It's 8m61cm according to manufacturer, 13cm more for a folded bike rack.)  

The extra length didn't appear to bother anyone on the previous visits since 2017, in fact never bothered anyone on any of the sites that I have been to.

Anyway, no longer an issue for me or anyone else, give them a bell if over 8m 50cm and book early.
