Having visited this site several times, on my latest visit I was informed on my arrival I was on a grass pitch because larger units were arriving later and needed the hard standings. The only grass pitches available were at the top of the site next to the noisy A66. My van is 7.3m long. Several vans arrived after us and were allowed to use the hardstandings. I later spoke to the warden and he informed me they had started allocating pitches. His first reply when I told him of my disappointment was that you need to get here early to get a hard standing we arrived at 1.30pm. It soon became apparent that he didn’t want motor home’s using the grass pitches because of damage they may cause and was saving the hard standings for them. It also became apparent that I was only staying one night so it didn’t matter. If this is going to be the case in future then the booking procedure should be altered to allow standard hard standings with awning and standard grass pitch with awning so the member can choose before they arrive what type of pitch they want.
