Date of Visit: May 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Stana666 4 reviews from this member

 Arrived for our first visit to this site to a friendly welcome by the resident wardens. We have never been able to get booked in on this site before and now we can see why it is so popular.

Site was laid out very well, with bushes and trees providing some privacy and different levels and types of pitches from Grass, hardstanding and even serviced pitches.

Tents and caravans are welcome at this site.

There is a small play area for kids and a bistro joined on to the clubhouse serving hot meals to eat in or take away. Prices were reasonable too.

The site is about 2.5 miles from Knaresborough centre and the bus stop is outside the site entrance if you don't want to drive.

Guy Fawkes Arms pub in the village is about 5 minutes walk away and is very welcoming to locals and campers alike. They even allow dogs in! The night we visited there was a female vocalist on who was quite good, and also a table set out with free homemade pies and chips,excellent!

Toilets, showers, pot washing facilities were some of the nicest we have seen on a club site, decorated with flowers and pot pourri baskets.

This is easily one of the best CC sites we have visited and other CC site wardens could not go wrong by trying to be as friendly as the wardens at Knaresborough.

We will definitely be back !

 A very well maintained, clean and tidy site. This is our second visit this year and I'm sure we will return.

We got a fantastic pitch on this occasion flat level and oh so big, between the Bistro and the toilet block.

We enjoyed a good long walk along the adjacent bridle way which if you follow it leads you right round to the road from Knaresbrough that goes to the site.

Ripley Castle and more importantly Ripley Ice cream is not too far and well worth a visit.

Well recommended site!

 We managed to get in here last minute for a Bank Holiday weekend.

Site very clean and tidy - hardstanding pitches large and even.

Plenty of hot water - showers and toilet very clean even on a wet day.

Wardens very helpful and friendly.

We tried the food and that was so much better than expected - hubby said the steak was cooked to perfection and tasted fantastic prices were reasonable for food this good.

Being open over winter will definitely be on the list for a return visit

 A very nice well maintained site, the 'Club House' serves basic food at a reasonable price.

The toilets are little below the normal standard of usual Caravan Club Sites, as is the children play area.

The caravan pitches are well maintained and quite level.

There is a little road noise if you are pitched near the entrance of the site.

In all a good site, I would return.

 Smashing site. Wish it was a bit nearer to town as buses stop running very early. Clean toilets etc. Very handy to have a club house on site. The staff I did meet were very friendly. No shops in Scotton so missed my daily paper. But overall I would definitely visit this site again

Reviewer: WarHog 2 reviews from this member

 Stayed here for a week with our two dogs. A nice clean and quiet site as expected from the CC.

It was quite full when we arrived and we were required to pitch on the grassed area at the top of the site.

Only a short drive to Knareborough, and Harrogate is only just a little further up the road.

Staff were friendly, and on our second to last day the weather really turned for the worst so we decided to return home. The staff were fine with this but the office was closed so couldn't give a refund. However they explained that if we ring the Caravan Club when we get home, then they would send us a refund, which they did.

 Knaresborough Caravan Club site is about 2 miles from Knaresborough itself on the Ripley road and close to the village of Scotton.

The site has 74 pitches of which 52 are hardstanding and charges vary from £13.70 up to £19.55 for an outfit and 2 adults depending on season tents are also accepted on a large field at the top of the site which also accommodates some of the grass caravan pitches.

There is a large centrally located toilet / shower block incorporating a baby and toddler room, disabled facilities, laundry and dishwashing facilities all of which are modern and kept up to the usual Caravan Club standards. The reception also operates as small shop selling milk, eggs, and ice cream etc, newspapers are not available, the nearest supermarket is about 3 miles from site however Knaresborough itself has two of the smaller type convenience stores.

An information room is just outside the reception with the usual leaflets for nearby attractions as well as info on best places to eat etc.

There is also a small clubroom on site which was not open at the time of our visit, but was being prepared for opening soon, check with the site warden as to availability before you travel.

There is a small children’s play area with a climbing frame and slide for younger children.

Dogs are welcome on a lead, but the dog walk is off site on a bridal path which runs down to a small farm and is also used by some farm machinery and so not ideal.

There is some traffic noise on site due to its close proximity to some roads and to the farm at the rear but it is not too intrusive.

The site is ideally situated to tour the area, with Harrogate, Ripon and York with all there attractions within easy reach, also close by is Fountains abbey run by the National Trust and Lightwater valley theme park. Locally it is possible to walk into Knaresborough through the Nidd gorge which is a little over 2 miles and runs alongside the river for part of the journey, once there you can enjoy the delights of this historic town with its castle ruins and cobbled alleyways with quaint tearooms and welcoming pubs, walk alongside the river or hire one of the rowing boats and take to the water, there is plenty to while away a few hours.

A very pleasant site easy to access from the A1 with plenty to keep you entertained for a few days.

Reviewer: Shanefaye 5 reviews from this member

 Clean and tidy site, my children like the play areas on sites and as the eldest is only 5 we don't allow them to wander on their own so when we got there to find just a slide they were disappointed. I don't think a slide should be classed as a play area !

Generator noise could be heard until quite late and had we parked any closer to it it would have been annoying.

A small number of children were running around the vans playing which didn't go down to well with us. Did find one or two of the wardens that welcoming so cant say this was one of the best sites that we have been too. Ok for a couple of nights but wouldn't want to stay longer. Also bar was closed and we weren't told about this !

Reviewer: Wingnut47 16 reviews from this member

 Excellent site with very very good facilities easy

Access to the centre of Knaresborough, just a short trip to Ripley.

This site as 65 pitches all well kept and a good size on gravel.

Shower block close to all pitches, block is very clean, plenty of hot water, showers are great,

Reception very very helpful.

Will be coming back to this site.

A short drive away there is a pub which serves Sunday lunch ( just for got the name) reception will tell you.

Reviewer: Spk999 14 reviews from this member

 Excellent site with good facilities situated halfway between Ripley and Knaresborough, the walk through the Nidd gorge to Knaresborough was very good. The site has roughly 65 pitches, we found a corner under the trees which was very pleasant. The facilities are modern and clean being within easy access of all the pitches and are warm.
The play area could do with a few more items but it wasn't an issue. Don't understand why other reviewers state kids not welcome, ours were and enjoyed the visit. Wardens were pleasant.
