Good site, some odd ways of working
I can really add no more to what others have said about this site. It's in an excellent location for walking into York, although not the most attractive of sites (a sea of gravel, in fact - due to flooding issues).
That said, there are some strange practices here.
I agree wholeheartedly with the idea of a strict 11:15 departure on last day and no arrivals before 12 noon. If only wardens on other sites would enforce this the same way as here.
But coupled with that - why close the Gents toilet from 10:15 to 11:15am every morning?? This is just the time when a lot of people want to go there - as proven by the queue waiting for it to re-open.
And if you are leaving that day, it's nice to be able to pay a 'last visit' before setting off and to wash your hands after packing up the caravan. Not possible here!
Just move the cleaning time to the afternoon - so much more convenient.
The other thing is the placing of cones on pitches. This has reduced since the wardens were changed mid season, but is still very prevalent.
Apparently the reason is that they cone off pitches for anyone who puts on their booking that their caravan is over a certain length. Unfortunately, many who go on these reserved pitches have shorter caravans than ours!
The couple who ran the site last year were really easy going. They just didn't partake in these silly practices and somehow or other, everyone fitted on their pitch (if you cannot get a typical twin axle onto any of the pitches here, you really shouldn't be towing one!).
But despite these niggles, we really enjoyed it here....again!
