We arrived on site at half term hols and the first time pre allocated a pitch number whether we liked it or not . The staff at reception were quite polite though . Then we pitched our motorhome on the allocated pitch . It was during half term so lots of children about . We don't mind children on site as they enjoy making new friends . We overheard the over-officious male warden telling the kids off for using scooters when they seemed quite well behaved . Where are they supposed to play if they cant use the site roads. YORK RT is only popular because of its locality but that's the only reason its so busy . I think the CC should monitor and review all the bookings at York Rowntrees site and see if some members are abusing the on line system i.e workers getting cheap digs . They should allow a maximum of 5 days per season here as you can never get a booking..The site is quite cramped and dosnt have any views so if you need to see York fine otherwise we would find a nicer site elsewhere
