Service not with a smile

On arrival for an overnight stop we had accidentally left our members cards at home as we had received our new ones that day. After we had got our pitch I went up to show the woman on my phone the booking. She told me in not a nice manner that I really should have my card as that’s why they get sent to your house. I apologised and said it wasn’t done on purpose. There is a man there and he was lovely and told me not to worry about it they would have a way of checking up. My husband went up afterwards and showed her the membership card on the app.and she was as nice as pie. Apart from that the site was lovely and quiet. A wee dog walk which was okay you could have a wee walk across the road. Spotless site very well kept. We won’t be back but as I said the gentleman was so friendly he made the visit better.

Unexpected visit turned out to be a gem

We booked at short notice having never been before. We arrived early and thought we’d be able to wait. This wasn’t possible but wasn’t an issue. We turned around and stayed in the lay-by literally a couple of minutes away on the A66. There is a lay-by on both east and west directions so it’s no bother having to wait. We returned at 5 minutes to 1. Check in wasn’t a bother, the usual efficient way of the CMC. Our pitch was fabulous. At the bottom in the cul-de-sac with lovely views over the fields. This area was quiet, but to be honest though the site was busy we didn’t notice a lot of noise. It’s a lovely open site, you weren’t particularly overlooked. It was always lovely and tidy, the grass and landscape was well kept. The pitches are quite sloped so ramps and kit to get the van level are essential. The facilities were as expected for a club site, they were clean and we never had to wait for showers and toilet to be free. The wardens were excellent. Pleasant and friendly, which makes a site what it is. The site is great for North Yorkshire generally. Richmond is 4 miles away. We went to Thirsk, Northallerton and Mount Grace Priory which was beautiful. We’ll visit again no problem. It’s only just over an hour away for us so ideal for weekends. Well done Janet, Phil and the other wardens.

Great wardens

Agree with earlier comments re easy access and road noise but felt I had to give 10 out of10 to the wonderful wardens here. We arrived, a bit stressed out as we were returning home early as hubby was ill and in a lot of pain, after a 235 miles drive and the wardens couldn't have been more caring and helpful. A total credit to any organisation and we are lucky to have them.

Excellent site for visiting the area.

The site is easy to get too and extremely clean. You will need ramps to level your unit as we were on pitch 36 and the site provided us with one as we left ours in the garage! The wardens were a credit to the club. It is not the most luscious and green site but it is easy to pitch up and has wide roads. It would be a good site for newbies. Two points to mention: 1. The main road is right next to the dog walk so be aware of this and it isn't very long but at least it is there. The road is very busy and therefore can be noisy. 2. My main gripe is the women's toilet door is the furthest away from the pitches and around a corner out of sight and surrounded by fencing. I personally did not feel very secure going to it on my own at night as you cannot be seen. I was not the only lady to say this.

Really nice, convenient site with a couple of downsides

A nice, friendly, well-run site with good big pitches and spotlessly clean. Wardens extremely helpful. Modern, clean toilet and shower facilities. Lovely views. Drive-over waste - good! Downsides? A66 noise particularly at the top of the site. Very limited dog walking from the site (although there is a small, fenced dog exercise area). Quite a way out of Richmond so no restaurants/pubs within walking distance. Ideal stop-over (exactly half way between our home in Scotland and our grandchildren in the south of England) and literally on the A66 but not, for us, a holiday destination site. We will definitely use the site again for stop-overs, it is that good. The dales are beautiful but for a longer stay we would choose a site more peaceful and better connected to shops, restaurants and other facilities without having to move our campervan each time.

Short stay

Booked this site at the last minute, arrived just before 1pm, Roger the site warden came and spoke to us, (very politely and about the 1pm booking in time) not a problem. On checking in we were informed of all the availability pitches, and if you want fairly level ones go into the horseshoe part. We found a lovely pitch No 32. Lovely views of the open countryside. There is a bus No29 that stops outside the site that will take you into Richmond, ( it doesn’t stop there on the return), you have to get a taxi back, (cost £11:90) unless you want to cross the A66 to get back to the site. Showers and the other facilities were spotless. The road noise from the A66, during the day, but it didn’t bother us during the night.

Praise

As nervous first timers we have nothing but praise for the warden here. I think his name was Roger and he was a relief warden. He could not have been more helpful to us, helping us reverse and set up, advising us about electrics and leisure battery. The place was spotless, the pitches were well laid out. Although it is near the busy A66 the traffic noise was not intrusive but might have been at the top of the site. There didn’t appear to be play facilities for children, but we don’t have any so didn’t take a lot of notice. The site is perfectly situated for visiting the Yorkshire dales or a stop over en route North or South. Very close to Catterick caravans and Ropers who have every accessory imaginable. We highly recommend this for couples in caravans who would enjoy exploring the Dales.

Pristine facilities and excellent wifi

Stayed here for our last trip of this year, mid to late October. Some previous comments about road noise, yes there is some but it didn’t impact onto our stay. Superb views from the site when the weather permits! Excellent area for walking, however you do need a car to get to the walks. The toilet facilities are the best we have ever used on any site, they are pristine!! There is also wifi that actually works! The first reliable wifi so far this year!

A favourite site for loads.

This site is one of our favourite sites to go and we have been to lots. What makes it even better is the very helpful wardens who if you ask will do their utmost to help in any way they can. The plates to go from here are loads just need to ask wardens they are very informative on where is good to eat places and where to go to see things you should not miss while in this area …. Very well run site. A Dixon

Nice stopover on way to Scotland

We've stayed at this campsite a few times over the years as it is a convenient stopover for us on the way to Scotland. The site was pretty full by the time we arrived at 6pm on a Friday with only grass pitches available and the ones that run head to tail up to the toilet block. The warden followed us to our pitch to make sure we were happy and comfortable with our pitch which was level. It seemed a little limited on space compared to others but as it was only a quick stopover we were happy with the convenience of the pitch. The warden was very helpful and chatty about our travel plans with recommendations for the local area. We had already booked into the Black Swan and decided to walk into the village, with a steep walk back!
