lovely site

We have just returned from a few days at York, lovely site renovations complete and looks spacious. Wardens very friendly and helpful (which is extremely nice makes you feel welcome and valued) They actually used their common sense and kept about 3 pitches for longer outfits (which we are) much appreciated unlike Brixham!! No fault of wardens but of members quite a lot of empty pitches when on line showing full!! I find that quite disgusting as i had tried numerous times per day to add an extra night, which luckily i did after about 2 weeks.

Great wardens on a beautiful site

We stayed at Rowntree last weekend and it was lovely to see the renovations to the Riverside section completed. The whole site is so well maintained with mature trees and shrubs and newly planted hedging to demarcate pitches. We have been staying at this site for several times a year over the last 7 years and in the earlier years the wardens were very business like and not particularly helpful but this has changed noticeably over the last year or so as they couldn't be more helpful or friendly. It does make all the difference for an altogether more enjoyable and pleasant stay. I hope that they read the reviews and know how much they are appreciated. Thank you.

Honesty

We have just returned from our first stay at the Rowntree site. The site was very well run and the facilities were clean and warm, which was very important as we had some cold mornings!! I would like to thank the kind, honest person who handed my camera into the office on Wednesday 25th March when I left it in the toilet block by mistake, the office staff forgot to ask your name so I could not thank you in person. I was relieved to retrieve it from the office the next morning. The site was within walking distance from York and we didn't use our car once while we were there. We hope to be able to book some more days at the site in future.

New Beginnings

Rowntree park was always a great site but the changes from last year are brilliant. Great new pitches where the old warehouse used to be give a brighter fresher feel to the site. The toilet facilities are among the best on any site. Local shops and restaurants in walking distance of the site. Great if like us you have bikes, both the riverside and york roads have cycle tracks. Finally the wardens are superb. As an example when we were there last weekend two cars broke down one on the road leading to the site and the other at reception. The wardens were straight out pushing first a caravan into the site and onto a pitch before they left again to retrieve his car. A few moments later a BMW would not start at reception...again the wardens unhitched the van and pushed it onto a pitch before doing the same with his car. We cant wait for our next visit.

Cafe in the Park

Must be our best site. perfect for Christmas shopping and for the Theatre. Always find something new, this time we found a cafe in the park next door which opens at 9am even on Sunday.

Didnt give maximum for peace and quiet because of childrens playground behind site..In fainess the whole public park closes overnight until 9am next morning.

SLIGHT PROBLEM WITH PITCHING

Love this site. The wardens are wonderfully friendly and helpful, with a smile for everyone and keep the site pristine. Toilet blocks fantastic with 10 showers per block which are always sparkling clean. The site looks super after its redevelopment with 16 new pitches to choose from. However (and this is no reflection on the hard working wardens), the health and safety regulations deem it necessary for no caravan/motorhome to park back to back where separated by a hedge. This means that pitch markers are on the very extreme edge of each pitch which vehicles are obliged to align with. Hence, each caravan/motorhome is rammed up against each hedge separating the pitches with barely room to either gain access to the services side of the caravan, or indeed, open a door to get in if it is a European caravan/motorhome, leaving 90% of the pitch unused! I watched an elderly gentleman struggling to access his aquaroll as it was almost placed in the hedge!! I realise this is all to do with health and safety, but for goodness sake, let's have some common sense instead of rigidly sticking to yet another set of rules issued by the Caravan Club. Let's hope in time this might change again and the next set of rules might well be of benefit to the members!!
