Reviewer: Gillian haigh 1 review from this member

 Great site with friendly staff. Childrens play area and dog walking area. All very well kept including the shower and toilet block, there are also plenty of showers, toilets and basins. The site also had gates to stop intruders getting in in the night which were locked (peace of mind)

The hotel/pub serves good food and a lovely beer garden.

Only downfall is no power points in shower block for hairdryer.

Will be returning to this site very soon.

Reviewer: Stemet 10 reviews from this member

 Very convenient site for Whitby and surrounding area. Staff friendly and helpful. A large camp field with EHU available. Some pitches on caravan field have quite severe slopes, difficult to pitch level if the slope is across the 'van, and no chance pitching porch awnings. Much easier when the slope is along the 'van.

Dogs are most welcome, with a huge secure exercise field. There is also another play/sport field for children. Toilet and shower block with pot wash is modern and generally clean, for which you need a key, deposit £5, but didn't seem to get the attention during the week when less people on site than at the weekend when full. Shop on site sells most essentials and gas prices are the cheapest I've paid for a long time.

Walking from the site is easy, with an old rail track into Whitby (2.5m) and down to Robin Hoods Bay (3m). Very convenient pub on site, with another across the road in the village, both with good food. All in all, a very comfortable friendly site, (if you can get level) and helpful staff. Have booked again for later in the year.

 Stayed here for may bank holiday weekend. Pitched on top tier with EHU, good sized pitch. Site and toilets clean, there was a problem with the water pressure in the showers but was told that this would be fixed, also ran out of toilet paper in ladies toilets
Staff friendly and a good hotel on site. We would come back 


Date of Visit: April 2009 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Campervan64 4 reviews from this member

 Visited this site for two nights for Whitby goth. Toilet block and washing facilities where modern and clean, lots of free hot water. Site is well maintained and it is obvious they are investing in it. There is a hotel and restaurant on site with a nice beer garden but we didn't use this facility. It costs £1.95 on the bus into Whitby from the village which is just about a five minute walk away or about £6.00 in a taxi. I would highly recommend this site and we will definitely be returning.

 Just got back from a long weekend away before the children go back to school. Really nice site, good facilities, good showers, shame the toilet block isn't heated. Great location we divided our time between Robin Hoods Bay, Scarborough and whitby.

Wonderful for families, staff really helpful and friendly. So pleased I re-booked before I even left.

Date of Visit: September 2008 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Montymoo 1 review from this member

 Myself and OH stayed here with our 2 dogs recently. Sheltered camping area and the picnic benches and bbq areas are a nice touch. Hot showers and plenty of toilets, but toilet roll ran out in a few cubicles - I got the impression they weren't checked regularly.

Nice big field for dogs to run around in and only 10 mins from Whitby; village pub only 10 mins walk (although we were made to sit outside to eat as we had dogs, as we were leaving a local turned up with a dog and walked straight in!)

The hotel on site was not serving food at all which was a disappointment, it seemed that as the summer hols were over they had decided it wasn't worth opening although there were a fair few tents and tourers on site.

All in all, quite a good site and a good base for exploring North Yorkshire.

 Just spent a wet 5 days at this site! Was not looking forward to arriving as I hadn't mentioned when booking that we have an enormous tent - no worries on this score though as the pitches weren't marked so we were able to spread ourselves out (even though it was pouring down and we were getting eaten alive by the midges, as we were pitched in the field just behind the dog walk and next to the stream). Having said this, the field was extremely narrow and didn't leave a great deal of room for cars to get past, even if you have a smaller tent.
The ladies toilets were clean but think they definitely need to sort out the plumbing as the toilets were very hit and miss whether they flushed or not - some days you had to get buckets of water out of the shower to pour down the toilet to enable it to flush - not something you really want to have to do on your holidays! Also the sinks tended to get blocked up very quickly.
The washing up facilities were a little limited - 2 sinks for the whole site which quite often meant that you had to queue to wash up. My kids moaned about the fact that there was only 4 swings but as we were out and about each day it didn't really matter.

Fantastic walk though to Robin Hoods Bay (3miles) along the cycle track - well worth a walk - our 2 dogs loved it.

Nearest supermarket (co-op) was in Whitby which is about 5/10 mins away in the car - car park was a pay and display though so if you're only nipping in for a couple of things or using the cash machine its a bit of a rip off.

Left on Friday (after helping the people next door get their van out of the mudbath twice as the tent field had become extremely muddy, which I suppose was only to be expected after all the rain). Overall, not too bad a site - have stayed on much worse - but still don't think we would return although my husband thought it was ok and that I'm perhaps too fussy!

 I stayed on my own for a week at the end of July, it was also only my second time camping.

This site was lovely, I had plenty of space and everyone was very friendly.

The quiet time between 10pm and 8am was observed around me.

Although there were quite a few tents onsite I didn't have to wait for a shower, got used to not using my hairdryer as there are no electric points in the shower block.

The Hotel on site is great if you fancy not having to cook.

I loved it and will definitely go back.

 Was lucky enough to spend 2 nights at this site when it was good weather which meant the stay at the local beaches turned out even better than anticipated! We stayed in the lower camping field. We really liked this site and wouldn't have any complaints at all, except for a group of ten males aged between 30 and 60 (they should have known better!) turning up for one night in a small field of family tents.

I went to reception the next morning and spoke with Reception (who I should add is lovely and friendly and helped us out with the area on our arrival). She stated she had no idea and said she wished somebody had buzzed her awake. Had only been in Reception once so didn't realise you could buzz after hours.

She did assure me that they did not take in groups. I did love the site (lower camping field) and its great location - would be inclined to try it again and feel it is worth a recommendation. Note: some campers said the overflow field was windy and had passing traffic noise.

 Stayed here after a stay at nearby Middlewood Farm. What a complete difference! The owners weren't into overcrowding and it showed - plenty of space in a very sheltered field to pitch wherever we liked. I found the Gents shower block very clean and tidy but the missus said that the Womens wasn't such a high standard. Two toilets blocked for over 24 hours and no loo roll in most of them.

There was a bit of road noise in the morning from the nearby Whitby to Scarbrough road, but it was only from occasional lorries, cars couldn't be heard.

The only downside of our stay was an inconsiderate family who didn't respect the 10pm silence rule and had a noisy dog which barked at any other dog - and they had the lack of brains to pitch their tent right at the side of the dog walking field, so it kept barking at any dogs which passed.

Other than that, a superb little site, grounds well maintained (the picnic benches were a nice touch) and it felt very secure with the barrier entry.
