We arrived at approx. 12:45 pm. We were the third to arrive at this time. Membership cards were demanded to be left with reception while members pitched and were told 'I am not allowed to check you in before 1:00pm'. On Sunday 6th March 2016, we counted 5 outfits turned away at 12:30pm. If, indeed, the request in the directory to not arrive before 1:00pm relates to the narrow road at Bond End in Knaresborough and is to avoid caravans meeting each other at that point, the wardens sending outfits back through Knaresborough makes a complete nonsense to the request. Knaresborough is not the best town to tow through in the first place so sending outfits back through it is crazy, especially when the site was three-quarters empty. The wardens were blunt, almost to the point of being rude to some members, with their tone. It was overheard, that they had been told by 'their boss' that they were not to book anybody in before 1:00pm. A friendly Yorkshire welcome it was NOT.
