Very pleasant stay

Arrived to a warm welcome and efficient booking in for a 7 night stay. As the heat wave was expected we chose a pitch close to hedge to give a bit of shade, which turned out to be a good plan. The pitches were immaculately maintained and generous in size so the site never felt crowded. Shower blocks clean and tidy and so pleased they haven't put back the shower curtains. We knew before arrival that the Wanderer was only providing takeaway at the start of the week and closing before we left. Had a takeaway the day we arrived which was good quality and very tasty. Good location for touring the Dales and very easy access for a day out in York. Loved the site and plan to return next year.

After lots of times here SO disappointed

Arriving today for 7 nights £329 to find the bistro is closing tonight for 2 weeks as they can’t get staff, we have been twice already this year and it was limited service. It’s raining so we can’t sit outside and have a drink as we have a small dog, the Manager would not relent and said squash under a small gazebo with others ( it sits 4 people) Many things seem to have changed here with new management, it’s definitely not as friendly as it used to be. I think this will be our last time especially at £329 This was our go to site and alas we are totally disappointed The best thing is though the bistro used to be so busy when dogs were allowed so they must be losing money

Very expensive

We arrived at this site today having spent a week at The Firs near Belper. On checking the on site restaurant we found we arrived the last day it was open for meals in the restaurant and replaced with a take away service until later in the month when it will close for about 3 weeks due to staff shortages.REALLY. I paid £220 for a week in Belper which I have to say was an excellent site with first class wardens.I have just paid £329 for a week in Knaresborough and I would suggest the showers etc are inferior to Belper with nothing else justifying the price difference. Perhaps someone from the club would be kind enough to pass this onto the relevant department so I may have an explanation as to why I feel really let down and ripped off.

Lovely quiet site

This was our first ever experience in a motorhome and on a club site. The reception staff although busy were friendly and explained to us what we needed to do. Special mention to the Wanderer restaurant staff for a wonderful take-away meal. Lovely clean site, very good experience for our first ever stay on a site.

A Wonderful experience. Thank you.

After a lovely stay here during the Jubilee half term and seeing some other reviews we felt we must leave one ourselves. The wardens were very cheery, polite, helpful and chatty; could not have asked for more. The site and blocks were kept exceedingly clean and lacked nothing. There we helpful little slips of paper with local directions and tips on to take from the information room. With a young family (11, 7 & 4 year olds) we do have to say that the play park was geared up more for the older children. A really pleasant stay, thank you.

Great for Knaresbrough

We came here in order to re-visit Knaresbrough after a gap of 48 years. As we have a motorhome, we look for places with bus services and/or good walking routes as we try very hard not to move the motorhome during our stay. This site met these requirements well and we had a lovely day in Knaresborough and a walk back along the Nidd to the site. The site is well maintained as to be expected but somehow seemed to lack 'character' although we couldn't put our finger on any specific shortcoming. It is certainly a good base for North Yorkshire and met our needs. The advertised bar was not available during our stay but this did not trouble us at all.

Lovely Site

This site is very well maintained and extremely peaceful.We enjoyed our stay, but are amazed by the way in which some club members ignore site/club rules.We saw members on a number of days arriving from as early as 12.09 despite the 1.00pm arrival time.On numerous occasions dog owners allowed dogs to use any grass area as a toilet, despite there being a dog walk on site.One campervan arrived, out came a female with two dogs, who walked straight to the nearest grass area to allow the dogs to use it as a toilet.The main noise on site was caused by outfits speeding over humps.I think the site managers have an unenviable task and do sterling work.

Special Mention for the Warden

We arrived on site and found we had left our wastemaster at home as I mistakenly thought I had booked a serviced pitch. Whilst setting up the warden came over with a spare wastemaster which he lent to us for the duration of our stay. It was very good of the him to do that as it was entirely our fault. I don't know his name but he was a relief warden for Easter. First time we had stayed at this site and we really enjoyed it. Spotless site, and the facilities are very modern. Great having the Wanderer for either eat-in or Take-away. We have booked again to come in October, and I am sure it will be a regular for us now.

stay here was ok

we stayed here over xmas 2021, staff friendly on arrival, the site was nice and quiet, the bar onsite was closed I think staff illness (covid I think), the dog walk area was treacherous due to no proper path/walkway as it was liquid/mud, would benefit from a stone pathway mayb?, we found a nature reserve just down the road and had a nice walk round with the dog, overall our stay was ok
