Just watched all the videos over the last few days, very pleasant journeys even in the poor weather it's nice to have time to just chill out in what looks to be a lovely van, keep the videos coming and have a pleasant rest of the weekend

Hi, after visiting the campsites website, it doesn't state the procedure upon entering the site, we are looking at a grassed pitch non electric in our campervan and there's availability when we want to come. I noticed that you stopped on 0:45 but didn't see a barrier or anything like that. Whats the usual protocol after making an online booking and when entering the site as I wouldn't want to cause a traffic jam as its only a narrow passing as you enter the site. Tried to telephone the site for a few days but no answer (must be busy) Thank you.

I similarly didn’t have a clue what to do on arrival so stopped and checked in at shop/reception to find out what pitch I was on… I’d booked a lakeside pitch but was unsure whether they allocated them or you just picked your favourite….. as it turns out they did allocate them out and told me a specific pitch…. But it was quiet when I went…. I agree that entrance could quickly get jammed up at busier times. Don’t let that put you off though… it’s definitely worth a visit 😊

@@califolkswagen we haven't used a campsite in the last 7 years and haven't been moved on once. We have travelled all over the country. We were told that Northumberland were really anti van and that we wouldn't find anywhere to park up, but in our latest series travelling the NLand 250 we show the opposite. Thanks for replying.

I do very much try to avoid Bank holidays. I'd have to say the campers and their children (I was there on a July weekend last year) were a whole lot better behaved than the campsites I stay at on the Yorkshire coast. There's nothing quite like being surrounded by pissed up extended families with their kids and dogs running riot to make you appreciated the difference of a well run family site like Meadow falls. I've heard the Orcaber site up the road near Austwick is a lovely quite site. I really liked Meadow falls and thought it was a lovely charming site (I guess it was a little quieter when I was there) and have never seen such immaculate grass! It was like camping on a golf green, lol. Anyway, thanks for uploading.. Liked and subbed!

I completely agree that the site is lovely and immaculately kept.... a little bit unfair on my part to be so negative in the video because as you say, there's a lot worse out there and booking on a school bank holiday weekend was a rookie error on my part. Will I learn? Probably not :-) I was at Orcaber in January... a lovely site and again, immaculately kept. I'm looking forward to going back when the weather is a bit better. I was there for one of the many storms we've had recently which kept it interesting! :-) Thank you for the like and the subscribe.
