Great Site Great Facilities Great Area

A lovely site, welcomed by the wardens on arrival and made to feel appreciated. Fantastic little cafe on site. Great Inn in the village with fantastic food. Nidd Gorge great for the dogs, who all came back after along weekend exhausted. Great walk into Knareborough and plenty of options in the gorge but might want wellies for the wet area's after rain. Dog area where your dog can runnfree but watch at the bottom as hedge has gaps onto main road. Definitely will be back.Lots of space between pitches and good wifi onsite although we used our own router.

Amazing site

We had a long weekend with some friends (we are caravan they are motorhome) at this site. The welcome from the staff was lovely. All the facilities are cleaned to a high standard although the main block is in need of upgrading they kept it to a high standard. The new café/bar is lovely with an excellent atmosphere and the site staff are doing a great job in there as well. Around the pitches and hedges are so well kept with lovely straight lines and no grass encroaching over the edges. It is quite expensive but that is not the fault of the staff and as so many of us now have, I have sorted my own personal wi-fi with a 5G system for my caravan so I can stream and work when I have the need. An amazing site with amazing staff.

SEPTEMBER 2023

Lovely site with friendly wardens, large pitches and immaculate facilities, my only gripe was there were a lot of dog owners who seemed to think it acceptable to let their pets bark incessantly. Guy Fawkes Arms within 10 minutes walking distance with good food and excellent service. Knaresborough about an hour walk along Nidd Gorge (which is stunning) or approximately 40 minutes along lane at back of site (which cuts out the majority of the road). Knaresborough is beautiful especially along the river and up at the castle.

First visit, hopefully not the last

Nice welcome, all staff pleasant and friendly through our three night mid week stay. Only our fourth visit to a CAMC site as we are newbies to caravanning, but the facilities all well kept and clean as expected and seen at other limited amount of sites we have visited. The grounds, pitches and grass all well looked after and presented. The Wanderer bar was the only cause of uncertainty for us, as other reviews have said. I understand the "bistro" type of menu will no longer be available and only snacks in future. Might be worth a phone call and check if like a couple we spoke to had not brought enough food with the plan of a meal in the restaurant. Out and about in Knaresborough if visiting by car the parking is limited but vey cheap. Busy as school holidays so can take some finding. As expected with a little old town, some of the road can be a little tight, so for longer motorhome outfits it might be worth looking on the outskirts if any are available, manoeuvring was hard enough in a medium sized car. A great site and plenty to see around the area, so we hope for a return visit.

The wanderer.

Having stayed at this site a number of times, we have seen many changes mostly for the better. Earlier in the year, we were somewhat disappointed that dogs were not allowed in the restaurant bar, however, July brings a change. Back to dog friendly, & it's a cafe bar. Well done to the wardens for working with this concept, and with support from the club, to replace both indoor & outdoor furniture to be more in keeping with a relaxed cafe concept, rather than a restaurant. We can see this being a great addition to the site. It goes without saying it is a busy site, and the staffing has to reflect the concept of the Wanderer bar. We'll be back later in the year.

Very nice site with lots of places to visit nearby

Stayed here for a week in the last week of August and because the weather had been very wet and windy before our holiday the site for most of the week was quiet but the site itself and the staff were brilliant. Knaresborough is beautiful and you could spend a full day there, the only problem when we were there was road works on the main road through Knaresborough and created a massive problem. The site is up to the usual high standards and the staff very friendly and helpful.

Lovely Site but overrated in my opinion!

Although this is a lovely site, we were not really impressed with the toilet facilities. We were expecting much better for the price we were paying. Also, the non-existence of Wi-Fi was ridiculous! I know that this is an on-going issue but there was no price reduction. I believe that this is the most expensive site we have ever stayed at! There are much better sites out there folks, for a lot less! We won’t be back :-(

Great Site but very expensive

This was our first stay at Knaresborough. Great site well kept and wonderful Wardens. We loved Kareborough, what a jewel, and a stone's throw from Harrogate, Ripon and Thirsk, caught between Dales and Moors. Just wonderful. We usually book club sites as our default if there is one where we want to stay, but also use prmium independent sites when not. Club sites offer a reliable quality standard and Knaresborough is as good as they come, but we have never paid £50/night (serviced pitch) anywhere else and can see nothing that justifies it here. We shall be looking around more in future. Just a minor frustration, we always book serviced pitches whenever possible and Knaresborough now has a good selection, but i am baffled as to why, when it is mandatory to position the unit in the middle of a large pitch, the service point is positioned on the rear corner. Water is not an issue, we all have hosepipes and the water is pressurised. Rigging up waste pipes over a distance of 3-5m whilst maintaining a fall to ensure the waste-water drains away is an unneccesary challenge.

Lovely site.

Upon arrival Warden was making arrival process easier and quicker. The site was very clean and tidy. I liked the individual pitches divided by hedges. Very spacious area, gave the feeling of privacy. Everything was close by. Warden very helpful and friendly. Facilities were very clean and fresh. Definitely returning to this site.
