 Just returned from a 3 night stay which should have been 4 nights but we just couldn't stay another night. On arrival we were explained where to pitch on a map, we were then told to just look for a space with an EHU and pitch there.
When we drove down to the area we could not find anywhere to pitch until we went down a very small road and found somewhere behind another tent (allocated pitches would be handy). We were then told by our neighbour that they were using our hook up point because they had reported that there's was not working but no one had been out to look at it, they then complained again and it was sorted.
We were pitched opposite the play area which I must say was very good for kids and very safe, the only problem is there is no 10. 30 quiet time on this site and there were kids still on the swings at 2. 00 am, this made it not a quiet site at night.
The shower blocks were dated and grubby, the toilet doors were covered in graffiti with the seat lid on one was snapped in half and also the locks were broken and often had no toilet roll. In the ladies there was no proper lighting as it just flickered, the hooks on the shower doors did not hold anything so the things fell on the dirty floor. There were empty beer cans left on the window sills much like there was litter all over the site really.
The disabled shower in the ladies did not work properly the water had just trickled out.
The drinking water stand pipe was right next to the waste bins so that was not very inviting and the were bins were always overflowing.
The site itself where the the static vans were was very clean and well looked after but the touring tent area was stuck down the back and this needs addressing as it is the people in tents that need cleaner facilities than most others in statics.
The positives we can say is that the shop was well equipped, the fish shop served nice fish.
North Yorkshire is a beautiful place and this site is situated well for Scarborough, Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Filey and Bridlington.

Just had a fantastic 2 nights at the Crows Nest, we had an electric tent pitch which are all located round the children's play area. Our 2 children (ages 4 and 2) loved it, we could happily sit in our tent and watch them play it was great.
Just a little noisy at night when trying to put our young children to bed but what can you expect people are on holiday. On the Saturday on arrival it was quite windy so we were glad we located around the play area as it is a little lower than the main tent field nearer to the cliff. Thankfully our tent made it through the night but did wake a few times.
Facilities are fine, they are clean but not 5 star but they serve there purpose. Did not use the showers so can't comment just felt they were a little too far away especially if you were in the upper tent field, but this would not put me off.
Just had one occasion at the pot washing where there was no hot water and only 3 sinks so could get a little busy.
We did use the pool which only cost £2 per adult and under 5's must be free, it was great only us and 2 other girls in, it is small but our children loved it great value for money.
We also saw the magic show on Sunday night which our children also thoroughly enjoyed. Did not want to come home we had a great time.

We stayed here for two nights at the end of July, we were lucky enough to get pitched alongside the hill near the washing up sinks and facing out onto the camping field as this area was more sheltered -
this campsite lets you pitch wherever you want so its good if there are a few of you going together but not so good if you get a large group next to you and can be quite noisy, although all seemed quiet by around midnight when the various groups or individuals turned the music off or down.
Before then it seemed like a free for all with different types of music booming from different directions.
It was quite a walk to the toilet block and this site would definitely benefit from a new block being built on the tent field which is so big it would hardly take any space up, also although cleaned out at least 3 times a day this couldn't help disguise the fact its outdated and smelly.
We started using the block on the tourer section as this seemed a bit nicer. The playground was very good and shop seemed well stocked although cant comment on the other facilities as we didn't use them.
We shopped at Morrisons which is 10 minute drive away or there is Tesco in Filey.

First visit to this camp site with my husband and two children aged 8 and 9. It will certainly be the last visit!
The Toilet/shower block was very dated and very dirty. The rubbish bins were over flowing, and there was no hot water at the pot wash area. The camping area was very over crowded, generally I don't think they could cope with the volume of people.
Rubbish littered on the ground, even empty shampoo bottles etc just left on the shower floors! I know that this isn't the owners fault, but it needs addressing.
On a positive, the camp site has wonderful views, and a great play area for the children, however so do other camp sites. So I will not be going back.

This is a quiet site. The chippy is good, as is the shop. The staff are friendly and polite
On the downside the shower block is awful, the showers are either boiling hot or freezing cold, I wouldn't let my kids use them
The rest of the camp is nice, also there is no baby changing facilities.
The entertainment was ok, the kids enjoyed the magician
The pitches are ok, a little cramped but the site wasn't full, so we still had space
The camp is in a good position for visiting Scarborough and Filey
There's a petrol station nearby and the circus is within walking distance

We arrived to a very 'cold' reception but proceeded to the pitch of our choice within the campervan area. We weren't told as we arrived the on site shop, albeit quite well stocked, was only open from 0830 till 1100 each morning, the on site bar opened at 1930 till 2300 for one of our 2 night stay, the other night it was closed, no explanation, just a note in the window,
the on site swimming pool did not open, neither did the on site fish and chip shop or the burger van that was also on site.
We chose this site for it's amenities as I am on crutches therefore cannot walk very far and my wife wanted to be able to walk the dog, go for a swim, go to the bar, get some food without cooking and generally relax in an environment that I could amuse myself.
As it turned out she had to look after me more than usual or leave me in our van alone.

Stayed here for 3 nights over the weekend for my sons birthday. There were 4 of us with 2 tents and they let us pitch where we liked because they were not busy.
Camping site very well kept and clean. Toilets and shower blocks were clean as well. My son loved the play area which kept him amused for a while.
Turned up to the clubhouse to see sat nights entertainment, to be told they had been let down and there was no entertainment, not the owners fault I suppose.
Didn't use the on site shop, the chip shop was o.K.
Short driving distance to scarborough, filey and bridlington.
View out to sea from campsite is amazing.
Definitely would return again, only hope for better weather next time.

Crows nest is a lovely clean,well kept park and during the day is quiet although can get noisy at pub closing time.
We stayed in a static caravan not rented from the site and it was a lovely homely caravan.The children's play area is safe from cars and dogs are not allowed on it although children do need to be a bit streetwise to play on it as some of the children are a little rough.
The shop is decently priced and well stocked although we didn't personally think much of the fish shop the burger van on site is much tastier.The swimming pool is clean and warm.
Although we were in a static one of the kids wanted to use the toilets whilst we were in the laundrette but decided against it as they were dirty.
The cliff walks are refreshing and good if you take your dog.
Beautiful views of scarborough from the cliff edge.

This is the second time we have stayed on this site and both times it has been extremely windy and quite a few tents were damaged. It is expensive when taking the facilities into account and the toilet block and showers were disgusting!
We stopped Friday to Monday and on the Saturday night there was a precession of Fire Engines trying to put out a fire which had started on the cliff. There were quite a few people gathered and before the fire brigade arrived, the site owner attempted to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher after shouting expletives at everyone within earshot, what a nice man!
The facilities for the camping field are run down and in desperate need of improvement, but I don't think they are bothered as they are more interested in taking your money.
Definitely will not be returning for a third time!

The man in reception was not very chatty and told us what we needed to know and no more, with no repetition, the girl in the swimming pool seemed to think every question she was asked was amusing and confusing, but pleasant enough, however the maintenance chap couldn't have been nicer.
Pitches are a bit of squeeze, this was not a problem to us when we arrived at start of week, however on leaving this morning Good Friday, I can see it being a problem to those arriving.
The toilet blocks could do with an upgrade, I hit my head on ceiling due to the raised shower basin, there are no hooks or shelves in most, some don't have locks on door either and the curtains stick to your back. There was no soap for four days in the mens toilets. The recent grass cutting meant there was more grass in the block and showers than outside.
Although I'm told the womens toilets and showers were marginally better.
Plus points, children's park newish and kids enjoyed it, swimming pool ok but chlorine a bit stinging.
Nice location and good price for stay.
