Last site we stayed at in 2015 and the first in 2016. What's not to love about it? The wardens are without doubt the best we've encountered on any CC site to date- friendly, good for a chat and all with a brilliant sense of humour. They work damned hard too so as to keep the site up to scratch which they do with flying colours. Toilet/shower blocks are spotless. We had an issue over the Easter weekend with power which was due to a spike from the local sub-station but they were on it quickly and had a temporary repair in place as soon as could be expected. The main problem was that it was quite cold and wet and some selfish caravanners insisted on using their electric kettles/awning heaters/whatever they'd brought from home electrically which overloaded the temporary repair repeatedly. Do you really need a multi-coloured flashing light pole on your caravan to enhance your enjoyment of a woodland park site? Someone obviously did. Please take a look at the article in this months club magazine re: mains supply and how to calculate the load you are putting on it. This way there's enough lecky for everyone. Apart from that, the walks from the site are breathtaking- in more ways than one. The view from the top of the Helm is fantastic as is the one from the highest point of the Sizergh Castle walk. Also Ingleton Falls is only 30 minutes away into the Dales- stunning waterfalls. The people in the area we found very friendly and helpful too which we thought was a refreshing change.Why go abroad when there's a stunning place at home like The Lake District? Keswick is such a picturesque town with Skiddaw in the background- still snow on the top when we were there.We will be returning- if only for the walks and a bit of banter with the wardens.
