Well done wardens re. early arrivals
I would endorse previous comments about the site and its location. In addition, from our pitch we had a front seat view of the entrance barrier and how the wardens dealt with people trying to beat the 1pm arrival time. I do wonder why a strict adheral to the arrival time is necessary at some sites but it is essential here because of the narrowness of the approach roads to the site and the club makes this clear in the information about the site so there is really no excuses for people who try and arrive before 1pm. We watched a unit arrive at 12.40pm and were made by the wardens to go back out of the site. Somebody else arrived at 12.50pm by which time the wardens sensibly decided that it would be too difficult to make the people leave the site ( which involves going round half the site on the one way system ) in the time left to 1pm but they made the people concerned wait at the barrier until 1pm before allowing them in. So well done wardens for the way they dealt with what can often be an awkward situation.
For the benefit of dog owners, note that the adjacent Rowntree Park is a pleasant area for dog walks but dogs must be on leads and the park gates do not open until 8am. The closing time varies but seems to be after dark; when we were at the site ( April 17th to 20th ) the gates closed at 10pm which was well after dark. You can gain access to the park via a gate at the back of the site but you must take with you the key you receive on arrival to unlock and lock the gate. If you are on one of the pitches near the front of the site as we were, it is easier to go out of the main suite entrance and walk along the riverside track to the park car park and enter the park there.
