Date of Visit: May 2013 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Sandra/marmie 2 reviews from this member

 This site is a flood site which you can be moved out of at short notice, which is not quite what it implies when you read the description of it. To reach the toilet block it has 19 steps up and the same down or a very long slope, the field we were in had a large number of vans in it quite close together (which you don't expect on a club site)had only one water tap which was at one end of the field, all rubbish had to be taken to reception area up slope and down the other side.

Warden almost bit our head off asking for our mobile number when we arrived and most unpleasant when we asked why. Would not recommend this site and we most certainly will not use it again, which is a pity as we have family recently moved into the area. 


Date of Visit: March 2013 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Motorhomefun 22 reviews from this member

 We had booked a super pitch on this site and from the handbook and pictures it looks lovely. We contacted ahead as we knew the site was closed until 1st March due to flooding and were told everything was fine and they were open.

On arrival we were shown to our super pitch (there are just two of these) which are at the front of the site near the toilets and entrance. The location to the loos is excellent and the loos are lovely, warm and clean however that's the only positive thing about these pitches. The super pitches are located only a few metres from the main road. You can clearly see and hear large amounts of traffic whizzing past including large lorries and tankers and on the other side of the road is an industrial estate. Traffic noise doesn't really bother me but I found this level and closeness to be intrusive to say the least. In front of our pitch was also a skip full of debris we presume from the flood.

My husband went to speak to the wardens and the lady was very helpful but her husband was fairly unfriendly and unhelpful, making comments such as 'the road has always been there'. Our argument is that if its always there, why not advise people when booking that there is significant road noise on these pitches and also that the area in front of the super pitches is not as it should be due to skips/flood debris. Its not at all how I would expect a super pitch to be and given you pay top money for these pitches, I would expect a little forewarning about our outlook. We were given a refund of some of our booking but the next morning my husband walked our dog passed the loos that were being cleaned. The lady warden acknowledged him and said hello but the male warden gave no eye contact and never spoke so we packed up and left. The positives of this site are the toilet/shower block are lovely and warm and clean

Warning…don’t book a super pitch if traffic noise is an issue and outlook is important to you

Reviewer: Slowroad 84 reviews from this member

 Really nice site, very cyclist-friendly. Facilities as good as CCC sites always seem to be - like the sinks in cubicles for privacy - and seem a lot less like public toilets than some other sites. Dishwashing and clothes-drying facilities all good. Lots of tourist info and magazines and books around. Friendly welcome and keen that I got a pitch I liked (I had just cycled 65 miles and was rather indecisive!)

So I ended up next to the river with some ducks and a lovely rural view.

The site is near to the A1(M) so there's road noise, but it's a constant hum and I found it easy to get used to.

Boroughbridge is a surprisingly nice place and well worth a potter about doing the heritage trail, visiting cafes. Further afield Knaresborough is super, and Ripon is interesting too. Both easily cyclable on side roads. Both have lots of cafes too - sorry, it is an obsession if you cycle everywhere!

Reviewer: Barnsey007 2 reviews from this member

 This site is very attractive, well maintained flower pots and mowed grass. The toilet/shower block was immaculate every time I went there with fresh flowers too! The pitch was very generous and level. Wardens were very friendly and approachable. Great location on river bank with ducks visiting tent every day.

Recreation room was an added bonus to play pool on rainy evenings.

Great location for visiting Yorkshire.

Reviewer: Bestyman 48 reviews from this member

 First the good points.

-The site is just off the A1, so easy to find and no winding roads.

-Boroughbridge is 0. 8 miles away and has many pubs and Cafes.

- We were on a very large field that still had lots of room on an August weekend, so it may be worth trying this site if others are full.

- Its possible to hire boats nearby, but book in advance as they were all taken when we tried.

- The site is very clean and has everything that you need. All staff friendly.

Now the bad points.

- The charge is per person. This is actually a good point if you are on your own but not if you have many adults in your party. The cost as a member was about £9. 50 each per person without EHU.

- The toilets are closed for cleaning 11am to 12. 30. Only the family room toilets are left open. On departure day myself and others were left queueing. It would make much more sense to clean the toilets in the afternoon.

Overall, a very nice site and we would return.

Reviewer: Bluebird.01 19 reviews from this member

 What a great site and even though it was bank holiday I never had to queue or wait for anything.

The site wardens are nice and helpful and the local town Boroughbridge is a nice friendly place with a few pubs though as with most pubs nowadays there main aim is to sell food.

You can get buses from the site or the town to Ripon, Harrogate Knaresborough and York but because it was Easter bank holiday we could only get a bus on Saturday so we went to Ripon.

Ripon a city is a historic market town with a Cathedral and is well worth a visit we also went to Knaresborough by car on Sunday and that is a beautiful old market town.

Near the site is the local 'pub' The Crown Inn in Roecliffe village is not a pub as advertised but a restaurant we went for a walk to it one evening were sold a drink then told as we weren't eating we couldn't sit a a table in case more diners came in we would have to stand at a tiny bar or go outside so we drank up and left vowing to ourselves never to return for a meal or drink.

We would definitely return to the site as both it and the area are well worth the visit

Reviewer: Zlk900 2 reviews from this member

 What a great site. Wardens are realy friendly and helpful giving plenty of local information.

The site, well what can I say! situated right next to the canal yet 2 mins from the A1, you would never know that you were that close.

The amenities are warm, clean and able for the site. The pitches are plentiful and large.

Down side is that you do have to pre book as the pitches go quickly.

There is plenty to do in the area with the cycle network running adjacent to the site. Bus route directly outside the gates with ample of opportunities to vary the places you wish to see.

Wildlife on the site is friendly with the ducks, moor hens, and other birds frequenting your pitch on a regular basis.

Cant wait to come back VERY soon.

Reviewer: 9633denise 9 reviews from this member

 Welcomed by friendly warden and shown to pitch with improvised electric hook up over the stream. Exceptional toilet, shower block, spotlessly clean. Excellent washing up facilities although sometimes a little busy. Fish and chip van visited on a Saturday evening which was lovely! Wifi available at cost. Excellent site shop. Riverside location. Within easy reach of Morrisons large supermarket. Excellent for cycling (situated on cycling route. Playground available for children. Overall brilliant site and would definitely use again, make sure when booking that you stipulate electric hook up as on CCC Site this was not shown, when we arrived we were given a non hook up pitch as we had not asked for it on booking, but we thought we had, hence the improvised hook up over the stream.

Reviewer: Daffodil41 48 reviews from this member

 Our third visit to the site very well placed for a stop off too or from Scotland and to visit North Yorkshire. Friendlily helpful staff. Bus stop at site entrance to town centre and regular service to many Yorkshire towns.

Good toilet block and laundry never had to queue for shower and the site was full. Riverside pitches and seemed to be a lot of fishing going on. Fish-and chip van called twice a week and reception sold anything you may have forgotten and you could order papers.

About a fifteen minutes walk to pub/restaurant in near by Roecliffe cannot remember name good food, there are plenty of places to eat and drink in Borough Bridge a good twenty minutes to half an hour walk passed the 'Arrows'.

Close by Morrison supermarket about ten minutes by car (they do a good breakfast). We will definitely be back the road noise mentioned did not bother us we sleep like logs.

 We visited the site for the Bank Holiday Weekend. We hope the following will help you decide if it is for you.

Some positive points:

• The site is very accessible due to the proximity of the A1

• The wardens were very friendly and the toilet block is spotlessly clean.

• The site is very well maintained and it is a credit to the wardens

• The dog walk is a bit of a trek but was worth the walk

• Boroughbridge and Ripon are on your doorstop and are both worth a visit – Ripon Cathedral is stunning.

• Foundations Abbey is close by too and despite Henry’s best efforts, there is still plenty left to see!

Some negatives:

• The traffic noise is constant – not intrusive, but a constant rumble

• Due to flooding risk, the hard standings are concrete, so awnings etc have to go on the grass which results in the kids and dog paddling in when it rains!

• The site access road is in a big circle and the traffic past the pitch really started getting on our nerves and a pelican crossing would have been useful! Try and get a pitch off the road if you can

Reviewer: Anja 9 reviews from this member

 The usual high standard from the C&CC. Excellent reception on arrival, helpful wardens, neat and tidy and good facilities.

As mentioned in other reviews, there are 3 camping areas. The one furthest from the A1 appeared to be used by groups and families. The other two had a mixture of caravans and tents. We were in the field closest to the A1 which we thought might be noisy from the continual passing of traffic. Funnily enough because the traffic noise is continuous it becomes a background issue and you soon forget it (similar to camping by a stream or river) and it did not interfere with sleeping.

Despite looking relatively full, the facilities coped well with the numbers and there was no queuing for showers or toilets.

The town is only a 10 minute walk where there are plenty of pubs and a large Morrisons supermarket. 10 minutes in the opposite direction is a foodie pub in Roecliffe. A bit pricy but the food was excellent. It would be wise to book as it's clearly popular with locals.

We used the site as a base for walking dividing our time between the Dales to the west and the North York Moors to the east.

We will certainly return.

 We were in a bit of a situation - no where to camp after driving 4 hours - rang Boroughbridge, they had 1 pitch left which was fantastic seeing as it was bank holiday weekend and every other site was fully booked.

Lovely clean site, friendly wardens, clean toilets & showers, lovely heated washing up area.

There was a small children's play area which was great for my 5 year old daughter. She spent most of her time there.

Very well looked after site and the people that run it could not do enough for us. Fab site and will definitely use again if in the area.

There is a morrisons not far from the site. (couple mins drive)

Reviewer: Merseycampers 1 review from this member

 The site is in 3 sections the furthest from the A1 being the camping field.

I suggest asking if you can reserve the central section as nearest to the facility blocks and less noisy,

Suggest if in a tent you take a portable loo as the section closest to the A1 is a bit of a walk (especially if you need a loo late at night).

Got good wi-fi reception so okay with a computer, TV best to take a portable satellite systems, wardens friendly as usual, block spotless,kids enjoyed the play area.

Football and games okay in the tent field.

Great chip shop in boroughbridge, Morrisons is the local supermarket.

Reviewer: Mrsperry 4 reviews from this member

 A warm welcome certainly makes a difference on a cold grey wet Friday, and really sets you up for your stay and that is what we received here. The wardens were exemplary; from walking in to reception we were greeted with a smile and given full details on the site, it's facilities and local area. We had booked the site after reading the reviews on the CCC website and we were not disappointed.

This was our first outing in our new caravan and we were a little nervous of pitching up, however after being shown to our large hardstanding pitch the warden assisted my husband professionally, patiently and calmly, coaching him until we were level, probably saving us 30 mins and an argument in the process. So this would be a great site for any first timers.

Although the site is quiet, it is suitable for young families (the river is fenced off)and there is a small play area for children ( 2 swings and a slide), and there was plenty of room to have a run around, it was great we didn't use the car once instead opting to have a pleasant 15 min walk into Boroughbridge heading left out of the site where you pass the 3 devils arrows and you can also visit the many tiny shops and pubs in the town, the Black bull gave a lovely warm welcome, a little more up market and a 15 min walk to the right of the site is the Crown Hotel (gastro pub) in Roecliffe, however be warned, walking gear is not really appreciated in the crown, it does serve lovely (albeit pricey) food, advance booking essential.

The facilities are immaculate, and warm, although my only criticism ( and I am being picky) is that there were only 2 loos and no general sink to wash your hands afterwards, instead there was 2 washing booths, so if they were in use you would have to wait, this no way impacted on my stay. There is a family washing room, to use this facility speak with reception and they will provide a key. I can not wait to return to this site, Thank you for a wonderful weekend
