Nice site needs some sensible modifications

We are currently on this site and very nice it is. If coming from North on A1M I prefer to leave at the J50 and follow A61 past Ripon and approach site that way which avoids having to drive through Knaresborough and the tight route out of the town. We prefer grass pitches and we are on one now, but I have to say the positioning of some of the electric bollards is ridiculous. We are on pitch 56 and there is a bollard right next to us, but we have to use one on the opposite side of the pitching area and given that our inlet is on the nearside we have to drive over our electric cable every time we use our car. We have also seen several people be unable to access bollards because they are so far away. The club needs to rationalise the positioning of these bollards (i.e. spend a few quid). There is a childrens play ground but although it has space for more things, there is only a slide. That won't keep little ones amused for long. Again spend a few quid and put in some swings, see saws etc. I'm sure CC can afford it. For some reason there's an annoying little gate at the side of the toilet block which serves no purpose other than to irritate when negotiating with aquaroll and waste. Why not just move it. There's been comments here about the 1pm arrival time and I have supported the wardens on this until today when we saw several vans being allowed on site well before 1pm which was odd as the other day there was a dispute at the entrance when they made a couple wait 45 mins before letting them on at 1pm. So why were exceptions made today? If you stay on some pitches, particularly the grass ones adjacent to the footpath (it is a public footpath, not the sole property of the farm) be prepared for a compressor on the farm running most of the day until about 9:30pm. We got used to it but some people might not. So generally this is a very nice site in a great location. However because it does have some niggling issues which would be easily and inexpensively sorted out it the club bothered to, it doesn't rate 5 stars as only a perfect site should merit 5 stars. It gets a creditable 4
