Good for families

Peaceful stay

We visited the Knaresborough site in May, although we have stayed here before it was a good number of years ago and I have to say the site was unrecognisable. The welcome we received from one of the wardens was very friendly. I feel that the site is laid out well and the pitches were well kept. The facilities were spotless and the general appearance of the site was excellent. We chose to stay at Knaresborough as our son had asked us to go away with him and his young family as it was close to his home and it was to be their first experience of holidaying in their own caravan and it was listed as suitable for families. We both chose to stay in the area close to the park as we thought it would be good for our grandchildren, aged 2 and 5. I must say we were very disappointed with the facilities for young children, the notice on the park gate said it was only suitable for over 5yrs, which left our granddaughter disappointed as she has enjoyed her holidays with us at other club sites and particularly likes the swings, climbing frame and slides provided for toddlers. Our other problem was that the park was tucked away in the corner so we were unable to let the 5yr old go to the park on his own, (something he has enjoyed at other club sites when holidaying with us) as this meant we could not keep an eye on him. I do feel that when a site is advertised as suitable for families, the park in particular should cater for younger children too, plus on other sites the park is in the middle of the field which allows young families to feel safe in letting children spread their wings a little and make new friends, perhaps this is why we only saw four children on site.

Most young parents, I would hope, would get off their backside and go to the park with their children.
