Lovely clean,well maintained site. Like the bar and bistro it was nice to have to a social area on site and mix informally with other caravanners. Staff were great. The relief wardens were great. Site is a lovely walk away from Knaresborough along the River Nidd. We decided to stay an extra day as both weather and site were so good. No play area so probably better for adults rather than families. Short walk to a pub that has a fantastic menu, food and friendly staff. All in all a great week.

Very nice site
This is a very nice site situated within 2 miles of the beautiful town. Staff were extremely helpful and personable. The site itself is small but the wash block and landscaping are very well kept. We used the bar and bistro and as we did not want to go back into Knaresborough on the evening and this was an excellent option available. only down side would be there is nothing for kids to do on the site. I would recommend this and probably go back in the future.
Good Site
Only stayed a couple of nights, but was impressed with the site, bus stop for Knaresborough and Harrogate was just outside the gates, site just off the A1m, bistro was very good food brill, would we go back,YES WE WOULD,
Very good
The only complaint i had was the lad in the bistro was always on his own short staffed he was cooking serving doing the bar and.clearing up all on his own therefore the service was not good and it was not down to him he did extremely well under the cicumstances
Tidy site for the dales but Wardens have an attitude problem
Nice site, well maintained and just right for adults, not much if anything for children to do.
Problem is the Wardens have a real and outdated attitude problem especially relating to arrival. With even headquaters relaxing on arrival times these Wardens are really wound up. In the time it took to book 3 units in we were given a full blast of attitude : you've messed my dinner up again, good job i am not diabetic, I get this hassle every day, I don't have to work for the club, I am not coming back here next year.
We then heard the 2 men Wardens walking outside and mimicking a member booking in and laughing about the gesture, the final bang was, I have been told by region to send all early arrivals away so there. That's what we call Customer Service, never get that rude approach at a hotel even if the roam is not made up, Basil Faulty would do better.The wardens even keep the handbook and a list of 1pm sites ready to blast members with, not sure what the point is
Of course any need for a 1pm arrival is caused by the Wardens, the approach road is adopted standard and the site area for arrivals is long, but not for these Wardens, they make a meal out of booking in, when or if there was a rush, which we did not see in a full week, then all they need to do is retain the membership card, let members pitch and walk back to book in.
Such a pity that these outdated, unhelpful Wardens still exist despite the clubs new "we can say yes approach". These Wardens need to be taken at their word and retired fast. We have many good Wardens these at Knaresborough spoilt ours and others holidays. As they say "were out" never want to use a site where this lot has been sent.
Last point, have your membership card handy as they even want to inspect to ensure its signed, again a delay and what's so important about the signature now we are all electronic.

Great site, 30 minutes walk (or take the bus)into Knaresborough town centre with its stunning river views, ancient castle and busy Wednesday market.
There is a 9 mile bike ride from the site that will suit all abilities, also buses to Harrogate and Ripon.
Only used the bistro for drinks but the food looked plentiful.
The noise from farm machinery is what you get when you stay in rural locations, surely a minor irritation worth putting up with for a great location.
Returning in November and this will be a regular site for us.
Loveley Site
Managed to get last pitch on the Friday night as we were due in Harrogate on Saturday. Very friendly site from both staff and other families. Shower block clean. Loved the bar/bistro on site and excellent for walking the dogs. Will definitely use it again.
