Fantastic Site.

A lovely site local to us for a quick weekend break. A great walk through the Nidd valley into Knaresbrough makes it great for Motorhomes. We arrived Friday night deciding to take advantage of the bistro on site, I am always a little nervous eating out as I am coeliac so usually lots of questions to ask about Gluten free options and preparation. The young waiter (Will) went out of his way to check and explain all of my options, I overall felt the restaurant had good knowledge of allergy’s and delivered advice in a helpful friendly manner. We will definitely return for another meal in the future. The facilities on site as always were immaculate and our two dogs enjoyed the enclosed dog walk area. A great site with everything you need on the doorstep.

Great Site & Bistro

We stay at Knaresbrough regularly and have done so for many years we love the site & Bistro . We use the Bistro every time we stay and have always found the Bistro staff to be very polite and friendly especially Will who is alway happy to chat if not busy as are all the staff . It is great to be able to have a drink and a meal after a day out and chat to other members it is a great facility to have especially if you are in a motorhome . Surely if you are not happy with a member of the staff should you not have spoken to the Manager who would have been given the chance to speak to the staff member ! or indeed spoken to the person you are accusing of having an attitude problem . He may not of realised that he was being offensive towards you . It would have been kinder & nicer to point out to the young lad that he was offending you and giving him a chance to apologise before naming him on a Web site ! We can not wait for our next visit . 😊

Fabulous - we shall be returning

Straightforward and well organised site, conveniently places about 1.5 miles from Knaresborough. The town of Knaresborough is a real gem and would highly recommend the less direct route via the Nidd forest gorge to reach the historic town. Lovely cafes and bars to visit as well as the impressive viaduct and view from the castle that are musts. Some comments about the on-site bar and restaurant seem very harsh as we found it extremely welcoming and the food and drink perfect for those easy nights on site as a break from cooking. Will definitely be coming again.

Lovely site in convenient location

We had a lovely few days this week with family. Playground very popular with our grandchildren (ages 3 and 13). Restaurant was very much appreciated - lovely food and staff. It is a pity it will not be open midweek but hopefully that can change. Site staff were very helpful. Site is very handy for visiting Ripley, Ripon, Lightwater Valley and many other places. We will certainly be back.

Week of Pleasure

Excellent service pitch, good welcome by staff. Previous review about two service pitches being near dog walk access and another backing onto service point not ideal. Also dog owners need to control their animals in terms of constant barking by one particular dog every time anyone went past the pitch. The Wanderer was an excellent addition to our holiday and utilised twice. all in all a great holiday.

Disappointing experience with Jobsworth

Just had a very disappointing experience at Knaresborough Caravan Club Site. We were in the bar with probably 6 other people in it, when a couple of members sat across from us were asked to move their dog, a black Labrador lying in the shade, closer to them. The poor dog was no more three yards away and had been seeking a spot out of the sun, it was bothering nobody! The Club really needs to employ people with some common sense and not jobsworths. Incidentally, the provision of bar and catering facilities at these type of sites is an excellent development and the Club should be investing in more of them.

The Wanderer Restaurant awful Fish and Chips Saturated in FAT

The Knaresborough Site I cannot fault and agree with all the wonderful comments with the exception of The Wanderer Restaurant. I had the Fish and Chips takeaway. The Fish and Chips were saturated in FAT running freely out of the sides of the Takeaway box. Truly awful and ruined clothes. As pensioners we have had a lot of Fish and Chips Takeaways in our 65+ years up and down the country and this is the worst ever and I don’t say this lightly. I’m not sure if the Wanderer Restaurant is independent but

Great location

This site is in a great location and is very clean and tidy and The Wanderer restaurant is superb, but if you want peace and quiet this isn't the site to go as there are too many dogs.. Pitch number 79 is an awful pitch as there is a gate right behind to the dog walking field and it is constantly openlng and closing from 7am to 10pm with people all walking their dogs and chatting we had to move to another pitch, and do not have pitch 75 as this backs right onto the chemical toilet point and to top it all there is a constant hum from the restaurant and the toilet block and the toilet block only has 4 showers not enough for this size site for these reasons we won't be going back.

Excellent site - well impressed

First visit to this site and really loved it. Handy for various trips out, clean and very well maintained. Extremely friendly wardens who were obviously kept busy but still had a smile on their faces. Dog walk was nicely laid out and lovely recreational field just down the road for doggy ball games. The Wanderer bistro was absolutely spot on - ate there once and had two take-aways in the space of four nights. Best onion rings we have tasted!! We will definitely be back - well done to everyone.

Brilliant stay, love this site

We absolutely love this site, wardens very friendly and the site very well laid out. This was our third stay here and decided not to bring our awning as we knew it was going to rain so just brought our wind break, tried to put our pegs in but the ground was so hard, enter a lovely gentleman to the rescue with his hammer and the windbreak went up no problem. Our dog loves the dog walk and also there is a play field on the road down to the Guy Fawkes Arms which he enjoys playing on. The Guy Fawkes Arms itself is about a 10 minute walk away, dog friendly and the meals are gorgeous. Already got another two trips to this site booked.
