Great Time

Just spent 4 nights at this great site, very large pitches well spaced out. Site facilities are very good and are kept immaculate on a day to day basis. Excellent location for getting around whether by car or bus, must point out busses or not frequent so planning is a must. All round a well run site and we will definitely be back.

Good overall site

Having just spent 3nights at this site I can say it is a brilliant around site with plenty of walking and cycling in the area... We visited Harrogate by bike and walked to Knarsborough walking to Knarsborough can be done via the busy main road 40mins with a few dodgy bits of road to cross.. or the scenic way via Nidd Gorge recomended though can be muddy in places however I have been through Knarsborough many times in my life but never looked around it's a lovely place to spend a few hours The only disappointment on our site was the abrupt first greeting we arrived about 20mins early to be told the office is closed until 1

Short break

We love this site, friendly welcome by the wardens. We were told that they have just started a trial for Sunday breakfast at the Wanderer ( which we didn’t do). So you have to return your menus back to Reception by the Saturday. We did eat in the Wanderer Sunday lunch at £12.95 and it was fabulous and the next night a chefs Special curry (Thai yellow curry) which was also fabulous. There are lots of walks around the area as well as bus stops outside the site for Ripon, Knaresborough, where you can get the bus to Harrogate.

Restaurant

I was disappointed that the bar was closed on New Years Eve as we booked site so we could have a meal and a drink without having to go off site. They said it was due to Covid but on the following day it was open!! It no longer allows dogs in bar so they need to have an area under cover outside with heaters to allow you to have a drink as the majority of people on site had dogs so I find it strange why they have suddenly decided not to allow them in the bar when most bars and restaurant off site all have areas where you can eat with dogs.

Comment from the Club:

Many thanks for your review. On the 23 December the Bistro Manager tested positive for Covid and there was also other staff absences due to sickness. Everyone who had booked for the Ticket only event on NYE was contacted as was all the people who were going to be on site and we apologise for the inconvenience.The reason the Bistro was able to open on New Years Day was due to the Site Managers returning from annual leave early. Dogs have not been allowed in the Bistro since June 2021. Unfortunately there is not enough space to make a separate dog area away from people dinning in the restaurant.

Excellent site

We have just spent 12 nights at this site. Our first visit. The site was clean and tidy, toilets were spotlessly clean and the site managers were very friendly and worked hard to keep the site in the condition it is. Will certainly be returning.

Cold restaurant

What a beautiful site with spacious level pitches. Lovely reception area with pleasant wardens, facilities were a bit dated but spotlessly clean. My only gripe about this site was the restaurant. It looks brand new and the food was lovely and hot, BUT it was freezing. Speaking to the staff they can’t do anything about it as it’s something to do with the underfloor heating competing with the air conditioning. It was a shame as we finished our meal and scarpered quickly. Commenting on the earlier review I love the fact that dogs are not allowed in the restaurant, they should never be allowed where food is served. It was an easy walk into the market town of around 2 miles on footpaths the whole way.

Lovely site but ....

Used this site lots of times, used to take dog out early evening and call in bar for 2 or 3 drinks BUT now no dogs allowed, and too cold to sit outside. Health and safety ??? Riduculous, so went to the lovely Guy Fawkes instead And had a meal with dog And we cancelled or restaurant booking on site.... Could understand if it's fine dining but, well, it's just basic chips with everything. Also needs another access area to dog field, not through the muddy path. Could easily put steps or slope at end of service pitch area. Otherwise a great well kept site

Excellent Wardens

It's only our second visit here, as the site seems very popular and as a result, is booked up well in advance. I managed to get an overnight stay on the way back from collecting a caravan from Lancashire. It was the first time I'd towed a caravan, and a warden was on hand to provide assistance reversing the caravan onto the pitch and even helped un-hitching. Although the WC block is not as modern as some other CAMC sites, it was spotlessly clean. There is also an excellent bistro on-site, which offers good food at reasonable prices - the staff in there are attentive without being obtrusive.

Good last minute outing!

Last night ,of our five night, last minute booking to Knaresborough before van is put to bed for winter😥.Last visit here was 2015, can’t remember too much from then but pretty sure there have been improvements. Nice spacious pitches not too overlooked. Service block as you would expect lovely and clean etc. Haven’t really had anything to do with the wardens, it was relief ones who checked us in. Lots of places to visit, Knaresborough a lovely town is a short drive or within walking distance through Nidd Gorge. Handy for York and Harrogate not for us though with having a dog. Visited Brimham Rocks , Ripley, Fountains Abbey all worth a visit, and a stroll on the waterfront at Knaresborough which is lovely, all within a short drive. Had a takeaway from the on site Wanderer Bistro, which is such a bonus on a site, we couldn’t eat in as dogs not allowed inside, the food was excellent and we thought reasonably priced. I did read somewhere that basics were sold in reception but that is not the case. Good on site dog walk, but we tend to go out of the site turn second right, and it’s a super lane/footpath for dogs. All in all a very nice smallish site, and just 40 odd miles drive for us. The lovely sunny but cold weather as helped the enjoyment. A shame last night some friends wanted to join us rang site at 3.00pm and site was booked full. Last minute walk with the dog and at least three empty pitches in various areas.
