A benchmark for other sites

We stayed for a week here at the end of August, we had stayed at the old site and liked it but the refurbishment of the site is fantastic. The facilities are spotless and were maintained to a very high standard. All the staff were friendly, efficient and very helpful. The improvements at the site should be used as a benchmark for other sites looking to improve their sites. We were on a fully serviced pitch and these were situated at the top end of the site. Lovely big pitches off set from each other which meant you weren't looking into your neighbour's van across the way. We ate in The Wanderer one evening and the food was excellent, it was so nice to have this facility on site and not have to go off looking for a local hostelry to eat at. We visited Knaresborough on the Monday and found quite a few shops closed but it didn't deter us from exploring the town and the walks by the river. We also had a lovely shaded walk down Nidd Gorge which is situated a stones throw away from the camp site. The improved play area was a great place for the children to meet at the beginning or end of their days and it is a very safe space away from roads. My only critisism of the Caravan and Motorhome club is the inability of people to drive at 5MPH, there are plenty of signs for the maximum speed limit around the site. I will be visiting the site again and have already booked my return trip. Keep up the good work!

Lovely site

We stayed here 9th to the 13th of September.It had been some time since we stayed here.Its a lovely clean and tidy site with hard working wardens.It is well placed for visiting places like York and Harrogate. We stayed four nights and dined in the Wanderer for two of those. We loved the fact that we could take our dog in the restaurant with us (as it is against club rules to leave them in caravans unattended).The standard of food and service was outstanding. I understand the previous comment about separate areas for dog owners.But as most people take their pets with them I'm sure the manager of the Wanderer would not like to see money walking past his window to be spent at local public houses that do allow dogs in.

Won’t return

Even though the site is lovely and the wardens are doing a fantastic job sadly we will not return. The club appear to be catering more and more for members with dogs. We have nothing against dogs but they are allowed in the restaurant therefore we could not go in. The club are not considering members who are allergic to dogs or petrified of dogs. Surely to be fair to all members the restaurant should have an area that allows dogs and a dog free area!

Knaresborough caravan club site

Lovely site, great friendly helpful staff. Site is immaculate toilets and showers extremely clean. Great for dogs nice off lead walking area and welcome at the bistro inside and out. Food at the bistro was lovely we ate in and had a carry out, fast service and friendly staff more than happy to accommodate your needs. Booking advisable as it can get busy. I think food was reasonably priced. Great place to explore lovely walk along the river Nidd. Bus service outside the gate. Well worth a visit. We will definitely be back.

Knaresborough

This was our first visit to the newly refurbished Knaresborough site and we were not disappointed, it is set in wonderful countryside just outside of Knaresborough. The standard of everything is way above the Club requirements and the Wardens were very helpful and pleasant. The site is adjacent to a bus stop and we as Motor-homers always use the buses where possible. The problem is with this site is that the bus only comes every tow hours and the last bus back from Knaresborough is 5.15pm. The bus service from Knaresborough is every 7 minutes but it is a long walk into Knaresborough from the site, it say that it is one and a quarter miles but is is something more like 2 miles to the Bus station. We enjoyed a meal at the Wanderer Restaurant and the food and service was brilliant and very good value for money. A great site and we will be back.

Excellent site

Just had 5 nights at this beautifully kept site, its a credit to the Wardens. Bistro was lovely had a really good meal in there at a reasonable price and the staff were very friendly and efficient. I would recommend this site to people of all ages. The children on site were happy whizzing around the site on their bikes and not bothering anyone. Lots of responsible dog owners on site too it was lovely to see so many happy people, no one grumbling about anything at all. The Wardens were very welcoming. Definitely a site to put on our favourite list.

Clean, well organised site with ideal location

We had a warm welcome from this well-organised and clean site. It's surroundings are pleasant and we found the Bistro real bonus. The range of food and drink is good and reasonably (if not cheaply) priced.

Superb site

Just returned from seven nights at Knaresborough site, first time there but it certainly won’t be the last. The reception upon arrival from the warden was great, very friendly and genuinely seemed happy in the job, we were on a serviced pitch but driving through the site we noticed all the pitches seemed very spacious. The site was immaculately clean and tidy, the bins must be emptied about every half hour as they always seemed to be empty! Whilst having a bar / bistro on site isn’t a big driver for us, it is a nice bonus. The drinks are reasonably priced and the food is excellent, as good if not better than any pub food, the staff are friendly too. Ideally situated for York, Harrogate and the surrounding area this is a superb site, not to be missed.

Top site

Great welcome from the staff and even had a bit of special mail delivered to our motorhome. That's going above and beyond the call of duty, but it was very much appreciated. The site is exceptionally well looked after by the wardens and remarkably quiet given the number of pitches. We did use the Bistro a couple of times, once for a few drinks and for a carry out of (arguably) the best fish and chips we've ever had, and we've had a few. One word of caution for those doing the walk into Knaresborough via the Nidd gorge, it's a very enjoyable walk but our estimate is that it's about 2.5m each way. Might not sound much but it could be if added to any wandering you might do around the town. We look forward to being able to visit again some time in the future.
