Just The Best Site

Of all motorhomesites we have stayed at we previously thought Loch Ness Shore was the best (travelled the Route 500 last year staying at 23 camp sites over a five week period) that was until we arrived at Knaresborough Club Site. A large spacious pristine & beautifully cared for site. The facilities being first class and impecably clean and warm. The on site Wanders Bar / restraurant equally pristine and superb quality generous wellservrd food. Every credit to the Wardens-they truly deserve Club Site recogntion. A pity other club sites have not followed their lead. Review by members Peter & Elaine Brockbank

A ‘Benchmark Site’ for those who like quality

This has to be a benchmark site. The facilities were only surpassed by the exceptional welcoming disposition of the friendly and professional wardens on arrival Anyone will enjoy themselves here it is premium site and location. Looking forward to finding more like this.

Most helpful Wardens ever

Just had 4 nights at this site. We arrived about 20 minutes early as we had set off early because of the bad forecast (high winds). Upon arrival the lovely Wardens let us immediately onto site, and also 2 other outfits that had done the same. Fantastic common sense rarely seen before at this site. Cannot thank the Wardens enough, we were greeted with pleasant smiles and a little bit of a banter. The site was immaculately clean, lovely facilities, and such a pleasure to be treated with such kindness. Thank you.

Excellent site

8/9 March 2019 Our second visit to this lovely site. Friendly and helpful staff, spotless facilities, with the additional bonus of an on-site bistro, The Wanderer. The site is just under two miles from Knaresborough centre, however, if, like us you have dogs, you can take a longer route via the Nid Gorge. This route will take you around two hours. Once in town, there are plenty of hostelries (most dog friendly) some lovely cafes along the river and the castle is well worth a visit. You can take the train into York or Harrogate for around £7 return (again dogs are allowed on the train.) Back on site, the Bistro offers a varied menu with a decent selection of beers, wines and spirits. We had two main courses and two drinks each and the bill was £48 so around the same price as the nearby Guy Fawkes pub that also does excellent food. All in all, this site will appeal to those who like peace and quiet but also like to eat out and a beer or two. First class.

Blissful

Well, what a warm welcome when we arrived. Plenty spacious pitches to pick from.The new restaurant serverd nice food pity the veg wasn't included (sorry that's my opinion ).But was delicious. Prices were not bad,staff were lovely couldn't be more helpful and pleasant.plenty information on how to get to places. Site was spotless.Dog area was good and pleased to say no dog mess,as being a dog owner,and even better the dog wash area especially after being down on the Nidd for a long walk into Knaresborough. Well done on all the wardens for this lovely site.

Best site near to Harrogate

This is the best, open all year site, close to Harrogate. Some lovely walks along the river Nidd straight from the site. The punch lock gate from the back of the site is especially useful to access the bridleway for a longer dog walk. We were given a Caravan Club leaflet on arrival which stated that the Guy Fawkes pub in the village was dog friendly. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. The landlord only allows dogs into the bar area only between 3pm and 6pm! A pity as the pub is only a ten minute walk away.

Not what we hoped

We had 2 nights on this site, friendly staff, beautiful site, facilities excellent. I did offer a slight observation that the underfloor heating in the disabled facilities was probably set too high under porcelain tiles. Bare feet, especially disabled people’s bare feet, could be burned without knowing. The bistro and bar were a welcome addition. Children seemed to be running wild, we have dogs and some kids seemed to only want to make them bark, which other campers were obviously not happy about. Loved the site, the staff, and the facilities just a shame we felt we shouldn’t stay there with our dogs. Not sure we would return which is a shame as it is beautiful.

Three night quick break in the sun, February ??

We booked this site for ease of getting into Knaresborough and the Nidds gorge just over the road, our booking in was easy with the receptionist being very polite. The site was very clean and tidy, along with the facilities, I used the on site bar / restraurant each night and was welcomed by the hosts, Gary and wife, very east to get on with, with plenty of conversation during the quieter moments, although the site was full I was very surprised to the bar very quite after 8pm,such a waste of facility. Our host were due to transfer to York soon, I hope to catch up with them there at a later date.

Excellent first visit

Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Knaresborough and our first trip out of 2019! Great site with roomy pitches and excellent location close to lots of attractions. Facilities were spotless and the Wanderer Bistro served some delicious food at reasonable prices. It was nice to be able to nip across to the bistro after a long busy day. I agree with other visitors that I'm not quite sure we liked the idea of dogs being allowed in the place though. We went in twice and on the first occasion there were a couple of dogs having a barking match at each other - wouldn't have thought it was too hygienic either to have dogs in eating establishments. Staff in the bistro were very friendly and attentive. Toilets and showers were fantastically clean as usual, apart from one occasion when one lady hadn't cleaned up after herself - a big bug bear of mine why people can't clean the loo when they've finished using it, especially when each cubicle has a toilet brush in it!! Nice play area for the children to use at one end of the site. Lots of things to do in the local area. As a young family, we visited Knaresborough and the castle ruins and Sir Robert's Cave, explored the caves at Stump Cross Caverns, visited Brimham Rocks, took a walk through the Nidd Gorge and took day trips to Harrogate, York and Whitby. Loads more things to do which we couldn't do, due to out of season closures so would like to return to Knaresborough in the near future and explore the places we didn't get round to doing this time.
