 The site was clean and tidy and very reasonably priced. You were able to pitch where you wanted which was good for us as we were with friends.
The washing up areas were clean and tidy, but the toilets and showers left a lot to be desired as we thought they were dirty and had a tendency to stay that way for a while.
There is a small shop, chip shop, arcade, pub and swimming baths but to name a few of the facilities. Overall a decent stay for a good price.
The cliff tops in the morning were lovely on a clear day and the view was excellent.

Just had our first excursion for the one night to Crow's Nest. It was easy to find, showers and toilets were clean and functional and a tractor went around emptying the bins while we were on site. The chippy is fab!
The views from the cliff top, once the sea fret cleared, were stunning and the grass was clipped well. The kids loved the adventure playground.
On the minus side, it was a noisy site - other tent occupants were playing loud music, beeping horns and using very colourful language until well after midnight - not the thing when you have little uns.
It would have been helpful if the owners could have given us a hint about where the best place to pitch would be for a 'family area'. Overall a good first try at camping, but don't think we'll be returning.

On the plus side, the site was very easy to find.
The pitches are very small, which has been mentioned previously, fortunately we were able to pick our own pitch. The area we were pitched in is surrounded by statics, which gave the feeling of been hemmed in.
The shower block was terrible on the Friday and Saturday, this I guess could be put down to the less then clean habits of other campers. Cleaners attended on the Sunday morning, after which we did then use the facilities, although the door to the shower block was left open, which made it rather chilly to shower.
We booked the site initially due to the pool there, so were disappointed that this was not open until Easter. This was not evident when booking. Therefore we had to drive to Bridlington to use the leisure pool there, after promising the kids a swim.
The area where the site is has good access to Filey, where we cycled to, then came back via the cliff top. To where you can access the camp site, although I have to say you need to be quite agile to climb the cliff face/slope.
Had all the facilities been open our visit would have been better

We visited this site 3 times during 2010, the last time during October at the end of the season for a midweek break. Not the best time to go, we arrived and they told us we could set up anywhere as there was only one other tourer there. The shop was closed, the bar was closed (open at the weekend apparently) the chippy and pool also closed, the arcade the manager would open upon request.
When we visited during the season and everything was open we had a great time, The chippy was really nice and great value for money, The pool was very clean at all times and always 2 lifeguards keeping a close eye on everyone, the shop was surprisingly cheap for a camp site with alcohol at supermarket prices and a wide variety of other items from gifts to food stuffs all very competitively priced.
The Bar was nicely priced and the live acts suited a lot of different peoples tastes, some really funny adult comedians and great singers.
The Caravan spaces where very close together, you had no chance of reversing into your slot without un-hitching and pushing it in yourself although even though they where close we still had just enough room for van, awning, car and small wind breakered off area for the dog.
The toilet/shower room was clean most of the time but was very small in the height of season for the amount of people there.
Lovely walks along the cliff top although the brambles could do with being cut back in places, plenty of walks for the dog.
A petrol station is a close walking distance with a free cash machine.
All in All a good camp and great value for money

We stayed on the site for a week commencing the bank holiday weekend. The weather on the Sunday became very windy to the extent that a number of tents were 'blown away' over night. The staff were helpful and supportive.
The shop was well stocked and relatively cheap. Booking in took seconds and was friendly. The toilets were adequate, however some of our 'fellow campers' had personal hygiene problems which cannot be blamed on the staff (1 caught smearing excrement.)
The bins were emptied at least daily, the children's play area was lovely and more than necessary. Our children loved the pool and went at least daily, all in all we would more than recommend this site and will be returning.

We stayed at Crow's Nest for 4 nights end of august/beginning of september and we had gorgeous weather even though the man on site told us they had picked up a fair few tents that had been broken / damaged in the wind the week before.
The campsite itself has a swimming pool, conservatory with wi-fi access, a fair priced shop and a fish and chip shop and on site bar with entertainment. We stayed in a tent with EHU and these pitches are set around the children's play park. The tent without EHU pitches seemed to be more towards the cliff top and more vulnerable to the wind and bad weather. The pitches are quite even and flat and we had a pick of EHU points when we booked in.
Booking in was quick and simple and we soon found where we going to pitch up. The large play park was fantastic and our 3 year old daughter loved it. There is quite a walk to the toilet and shower block so I would suggest taking a potty or camping toilet for any young children. We enjoyed our stay and made the most of what was there to take part in we sampled the entertainment which was just as you would expect for a campsite.
The swimming pool was small but had a slide for the children and our daughter loved it. There is a small amusement arcade expensive but serves its uses. The shop is large and sells quite a lot but some things are more expensive than they would be off site. We ate from the fish and chip shop once and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Our main bugbear with this site was cleanliness and tidiness - the showers and toilets although functional left a lot to be desired in the cleanliness stakes. We also appreciate that there had been horrendous winds the weekend before but for the 4 days we were there, there was no effort made that we seen to empty bins or clean up the litter or some remaining tent and equipment debris that was lying around the park.
We visited local area filey and scarborough and its in close proximity to both areas. The site is well located and there are some gorgeous sea views.

Just returned back from this site and can honestly say we had an awesome time!
This was our first camping venture as a family of 5 and I'm sure it won't be the last.We spent 3 nights there and didn't want to go back home, I believe the weather helped.
Checking in was simple enough with friendly staff.
We camped on the field overlooking the sea which had spectacular views of Scarborough and surrounding areas and was able to pitch our tent overlooking the view.
The campsite itself has everything you need from a well stocked on site shop, chippy, pub with entertainment and swimming pool.
The shower and toilet blocks are just right for your needs (remember you are camping it's not a hotel!)
Pot washing facilities with hot water.
Plenty of bins
Children's play area.
Can't wait to return there.

I've looked back over many reviews on this website and disagree with a lot of the negatives. We stayed 3 nights (which was meant to be 5 nights, more on that later) and enjoyed all facilities on site. The shop was well stocked and had very informative helpful staff, the chip shop was better than the 'Famous' magpie in Whitby. Checking in was really simple and the reception staff (who I think was the manager?) was very helpful.
The site is situated in a good location (perfect if you have a car) right between Bridlington, Filey and Scarborough. Filey is about 3 miles from the site and all locations are within reach via bus.
A lot of the reviews on here state that the showers are run down and 'grubby' - again I disagree - they weren't exactly the ritz but they were far from grubby.
The park was very clean and well kept and the views from the clifftop were amazing.
The only problem we faced while on this site was the wind - on the Sunday night (29th Aug) the winds were extreme and managed to take down many tents including ours and unfortunately we were unable to recover our tent - which lead to us stopping in a hotel in Scarborough town centre. None of this can be blamed on the camp though, obviously! Just a warning during high winds there is a good chance your tent poles will snap / tent will rip.
All in all, really enjoyed it and will return next season (potentially in a caravan this time!).

We picked this site because of the sea views and close proximity to Scarborough, Whitby and Robin Hood bay.
The site itself was clean and the on site chippy was really good value and very tasty. It was reasonably priced and because of this was busy.
However the toilet and shower facilities were unclean and left a lot to be desired. We stayed for two nights and the toilets were only cleaned once.
The showers were few and far between and one camper reported they were 'grim'
There was only two electrical sockets in the ladies toilets which meant long queues to dry and straighten hair.
Lighting would also be a bonus on the field where the tents where pitched. The field was on a cliff top.
The playground for the children was nice and clean.

A lovely site spoiled by grossly inadequate facilities. Mid week the toilet and showers are fine. However, at busy weekends and Bank Holidays, the campsite is full to bursting, and the facilities simply can't cope. There are long queues for both toilets and showers. The toilets didn't flush, so beca
me disgusting. The entertainment in the club is excellent, and bar prices not too bad. The adult comedian is not for the faint hearted- very course. The swimming pool is small, but lovely and warm. The fish and chips are lovely, and reasonably priced.
You can walk from the campsite, along the headland to Cayton Bay (approx 45 mins), and Filey the other way (approx 1 and a half hours). The camping fields are very exposed, so get very windy. Lots of campers had tent poles broken, and a gazebo got blown over the cliff.
