I find it fascinating that people visiting the same site within a short space of time, seeing the same site team and experiencing the same facilities and area can have such different views.  All part of life's rich tapestry I guess.  Here's my contribution. My husband and I stayed in mid July.  We took heed of the warnings to not arrive before 1pm and rocked up just behind two other caravans who had done likewise.  We waited in the car a while and when the first of us moved off to find a pitch I went into reception where the second visitor was completing her check in saying she was a frequent visitor.  My check in experience was great - I was welcomed and given useful information given that it was our first visit.  We left our membership card and were asked to return to confirm our pitch.  We had to wait a little while for the two ahead of us to manoeuvre onto their pitches and then had an easy set up on the level pitch we chose (remember your lump hammer - the ground is hard to drive pegs into!).  When I went back to reception to report our pitch number just over an hour later I received a warm thank you for doing so (judging by the number of cards she had by this time not everyone does this straight away!).  The warnings from others about the narrowness of the road in the last part of the journey through Knaresborough town are well justified.  I am new to this towing business and we had the added joy of following and needing to overtake a cyclist but the narrow bits are mercifully short.  My guardian angel was looking out for me and we did't meet anything on the way in or out! So - the site.  Regular mowing during the week we were there and the plant life looked well care for with the hedges behind our pitch neatly cut back.  Yes there are a few weeds - whose garden doesn't have them at this time of year?!  The shower / toilet facilities were in good condition and well looked after.  Of course not all those who stay on the site use the mop / squeegee thingy after their shower and some people think its OK to not leave the privacy cubicles as they would like to find them.  Not the fault of the club of course.  We found the site to have a lovely atmosphere.  As always, some want to stop for a chat and some don't want to look you in the eye - thats life!  There was a gentle buzz about the place and, apart from on our last evening when a newly arrived group were quite "merry" there was an almost complete silence after 10pm.  I guess the size of the site helps with that.  Great location.  We walked into Knaresborough a few times - lots of great pubs!  Of course a week of wall to wall sunshine and the hottest temperatures we have experienced for a while added to the great experience.  Who knew you could get a tan in North Yorkshire?!  We had a lovely week and will come back to this site as it is reachable for a long weekend for us.
