Just over a mile east of Leyburn. Good, polite, efficient check-in. Absolutely stunning position in a very peaceful area. They have their own ‘wild’ Peacock, Gerald. A pearl for a relaxing stay and still within easy reach of interesting places. Would probably say it was the most beautiful, tranquil site I have ever stayed at. Amazing lay out, well maintained. Watch out for sticky sap (actually honeydew) from the trees though. Despite my enthusiasm for this site, the last few hours turned out rather disappointedly. A friend had problems disconnecting the lead from the electric bollard. We tried to contact the warden; office was closed and no reply on their mobile emergency number. Found one cleaning in the toilet block. He could not disconnect the lead either and tried to blame my friend’s lead or usage, despite the site had a history of problems with the bollards, especially the old type bollards, which was the type my friend had used. Electricians had been on site for several days to sort out the electrics. The warden even had the cheek to threaten my friend that if anything was wrong with my friend’s connections, they would charge £ 1,000 for the bollard. This could then in turn be claimed on my friend’s insurance. This threat despite their obvious history of electrical problems, which the warden was well aware of and actually did refer to. As we had to leave on this day, my friend had to leave the hook-up cable, and buy a new one (£ 45.-). Another friend would be coming this way a few days later, hence we requested to pick up the cable, so my friend at least could have it back. The warden refused to hand it over, as something was wrong. This smells of exploiting the situation to own benefit to make a few bucks. I sincerely hope and expect the CAMC management will look into this incident and report back.
