Fantastic but sad review

Writing a fantastic review but a sad review. We have been coming here for 9 years and have seen wardens come and go. Unfortunately 2 of the nicest people who we have had the pleasure of meeting and call friends (Harry and Heather) are sadly moving on to pastures new. Our stays here will not be the same as we will not be seeing your happy faces but wish you both the very best of luck and hope to see yous again soon. ☹️☹️☹️

Simply one of the best

Just back from a few days at Whitewater. We store our van here but love it so much that we usually stay onsite at least a couple of times each year. The wardens are all fabulous, so friendly and taking great care of this beautiful site. When you arrive there are flowers growing everywhere and the site is always clean and well kept. We have a dog and never have any issues as we keep our Bernese on a lead as per club rules (under 2 metres) and always take her the short walk off site to let her do her business and then clean up after her. There’s great walks around the Tees Barrage and we often see seals in the waters. Whitewater truly is a little haven of tranquility close to home.

One of the nicest sites on system

We have just returned from The White Water Park and have loved our 6 days there. We booked this site originally because there was little else available for this particular week, and so glad we did. Like the previous reviewer said, it is an oasis in the middle the middle of an area that was once a hub of industry. At night it was so quiet and peaceful. There are some very nice walks from the site down the river Tees and past 2 nature reserves, a bird watchers paradise, we spent quite a bit of time watching the seals at the barrage which is only 5 minutes walk away. There is a very large supermarket just a short walk away along with many other large stores too. The wardens were so nice and helpful and in spite of the Covid crisis we felt completely safe, given the steps put in place by the club, we were initially a bit apprehensive but all was fine. This has to be one of the most beautifully kept sites that the club has, the gardens are perfect and facilities top notch, so very well done to each one of staff, you are a credit to the club. It's a very easy site to find, being only a short distance from the A19, wether you are travelling from north or south. All in all we will most certainly re visit this site and would highly recommend it to our friends and family.

Life after lockdown.

This was our first outing after the covid lock down, 4/07/20 opening day of English sites. As we arrived into the area Tee-side is very industrialised, then you drive over the tees barrage and turn onto this little oasis of a site. We were greeted by the wardens who handed us our site information and instructions to how the social distancing system worked for the facilities. We found our pitch and set up. We spent 7 days on this site also visiting family in the local area (socially distancing) the site itself is immaculately kept, all the facilities were as you would expect for a club site spotlessly clean. The wardens and staff were friendly and on hand to assist if required they all worked hard to ensure the safety of every one on site with an exhaustive cleaning regime. All members appeared happy with the system in place to maintain social distancing. As stated earlier this site is an oasis in an industrial area its quiet, well kept and on the edge of a nature reserve, we were also surprised to find some grey seals swimming by the barrage as we took an evening walk by the river. We will definitely return to this site not only as its convenient to visit family but its a lovely site just on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors.

Very Dog Friendly

We have always used this site in the past, and visit probably four to five times a year. As always the site itself and facilities are immaculate. The little garden behind the toilet/shower block has expanded ,and the Wardens have added lots of lights on the trees and shrubs and it looks lovely at night. We read the previous reviews about the Wardens not being dog friendly, and made the booking with completely open minds. We have never had any problems in the past, and can only say that our experience this visit was 100% positive. The Wardens work very hard to keep the flowers, shrubs etc looking fabulous and it is only common courtesy to try not to let your animal wee on them. We will definitely revisit this site a few more times this year.

Whitewater in winter

A recent short stay at Whitewater began with a friendly check in. The site is immaculate and a credit to the hard working wardens. A short drive takes you to the beautiful coast, or local attractions whichever suits you. As it’s only 25 mins from our storage will definitely be back. Thank you

DOG FRIENDLY OR NOT ?

Been to this site numerous times and would consider it our favourite, until this visit

Whilst filling my motorhome with water on arrival I put our dog on a lead to stretch his legs, Only to be shouted at “hey “ looking round to see a warden wagging his finger at me and saying “come hear”

You can’t walk your dog on this site and it should be on a 2 mtr lead

if you want to walk it take it off site “ I was greeted with

As I say we have been to this site on numerous occasion and the wardens have alway been superb but the new wardens or should I say this one in particular has spoilt it for us ,

Our pitch was at the top of the site and my wife was nervous to take our dog out in case she bumped into this confrontational member of staff , I consider my self a responsible and considerate dog owner , but when our dog comes out of our Van on a lead he IS going to sniff and wee between the van and the exit . The caravan club is either dog friendly or it’s not , I do not expect to be made to feel uncomfortable whilst on a relaxing weekend away

DOGS ALLOWED

Not at all dog friendly, Been to this site 2-3 times every year since 2013. No problems with dogs But new wardens have took it upon themselves that you are not allowed to walk your dog around the site You can have your dog in your vehicle motorhome car / caravan But to exercise you must exit the site No stopping to sniff plant pots / posts ( oi - move along keep moving hurry up is what I was greeted with .) Think the pictures on the web site should be reviewed As one shows a dog in picnic area with children Another has a dog tied on a long lead Over 2 metres not allowed anymore Previous wardens had people skills New wardens are lacking people skills So we got a refund & moved to Durham Grange - oh what a difference30 miles made Friendly wardens & dog friendly

immaculate

Just stayed on this site for a week, it has to be one of the best kept sites on the network, no weeds on the pitches, toilet block immaculate, everything was perfect, the wardens were very friendly and obviously worked very hard to maintain the standard.

Top Performing Site

The people that run this site are a credit to the Club. During our stay it was the approach to Hallowe'en - this had prompted the staff to purchase and set out numerous ghouls and kid-orientated things around the site, complete with organising a family centred set of activities centred in the games room area - costume judging, and games! None of this was within their job descriptions but they do it because they know that their customers are there to enjoy themselves. The following of this site is testament to the effort and enthusiasm with which the staff perform their day jobs, as well as going well beyond them. Highly recommended for this, as well as the well kept facilities, location and generally well run feel of the place. We'll be back.
