Date of Visit: June 2008 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Thomasshop 10 reviews from this member

 Great site clean toilet and shower area,litter cleaned up regularly, friendly helpful staff. Nice hotel on site with public bar and restaurant with children welcome. Handy shop for milk papers etc, bus route nearby into Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Scarborough if you don't fancy driving ,or a night out as taxis reasonable!
Only downside to site not enough for young children as only four swings in middle of site.

Overall a great site.

 Just returned after our second visit to this site stopping 6 nights this time.

We asked for the bottom field near to the hotel. Our pitch slightly sloping and a bit rocky, the field could have done with a mow.

Plenty of picnic tables and useful BBQ areas.

Had a lovely stay until a large group of loud men arrived and kept us up until 2am, bad nights sleep that night. They obviously didnt read the notices about quiet times between 10pm and 8am. Thankfully they only stopped the one night.

The shower & toilet block kept clean, but the mens toilets were rather smelly.

Showers free and plenty of hot water, although the washing up water not always hot!

Good site but would recommend to owners not to accept groups, as the site is advertised as a family one.

Ideal base for Robin Hoods Bay & Whitby, where we spent most of our holiday rock pooling.

 We booked late and had to stay in the overflow section which isn't split into set pitches. There was a lot of rain and the puddle was getting closer to our tent as the weekend went on. It became very boggy on the grass but it would have been the same anywhere.

There was a portable loo in our section, because it is the furthest from the toilet / shower blocks but we preferred to walk to the main block. We found the facilities to be really clean, especially given the weather. We always judge sites by the shower / toilet facilities and these were very good.

There is a shop on site but there is a good supermarket in Whitby, and a good Tourist Information centre which is crucial when the weather is bad.

 Just had a lovely weekend at this campsite, lots of other sites full but they were very accomodating and put us in the overflow field!

The toilets and showers were always spotless and lots of hot water in showers and washing up area - so I'm told by OH!

Staff were friendly and helpful!

Just booked to go back in two weeks

Reviewer: EML78 3 reviews from this member

 We stayed at this site for 2 nights at the end of May as it was well placed for visiting Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay and the many attractions of North Yorkshire.

I would say its a fairly large campsite. When you first drive on to it there are many pitches around a large field and then to the right of this is a bank which has been tiered for tents at three levels. There's not much of a playground, but the few swings on the site kept my daughter entertained. We also found the warden very friendly and helpful.

Toilet block was spotlessly clean whatever time of day you went and also appeared to be brand new. Inside there were plenty of loos and about 4 shower cubicles, with very hot water. The only thing I was disappointed with, was that there was not any separate sink cubicles and there were no hairdryers or sockets to plug my in, but this is just a girlie thing!

Overall we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely return again soon.

 Excellent site, showers hot and clean and will return. Very close to Whitby. Power failed a few times, however reception fixed it asap also the van on pitch 4 has a key to the fuse boxes.

First time here but definitely will return. Plenty of room. Owners very welcoming. Toilets and showers very good. I would recomend this site to anyone. Buses are regular to Scarborough, Robin Hoods Bay and Whitby for those who do not want to drive or walk.

 A wonderful, clean site with very nice owners who rang the AA when we locked our keys in the car (even though we interrupted their tea, sorry), just watch out for Mr Grumpy the litter picker-upper. The showers are free, hot and clean and so are the toilets, £5 deposit for the key which you get back (if you don't lose it).

The tent areas are very secluded and well maintained with electric and water points close by. The play area has just 4 swings and is in the middle of the caravan field but it could do with being up dated. We've never been back to a site but we will definitely return here lots more to see and do in Whitby.

 Just returned from a fun few days with family group, with 4 tents, 6 adults and 8 children. Arrived early but was told we could pitch no problems.

Also site has a hotel for the less hardy which ment our parents could also join in the fun

Toilets clean and nicely furnished,only 4 showers but never a queue, pot wash clean, mens toilets had odd smell and strobing light I am reliably informed.

Play park just swings but plenty of space in field for games, we had our own sports day.

All in all a nice family friendly site will recommend to friends and return myself. 


Date of Visit: May 2008 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Peteandtrace 3 reviews from this member

 Whitby is a great area. Loads to do and very picturesque. Kids love it.

Stayed on this site for 3 nights, bank hol weekend. Pleasant enough, not particularly made pretty, but pitches good size and flat. Toilet block looked new.

First night fine. Second night, all the electricity went off for over two hours. A member of staff came round and said we were all using halogen heaters too much and it had tripped the electricity. We sat in our trailer tent and froze. Eventually it came back on. A member of staff came round and said we all had to keep consumption very low or it would happen again like it did last Easter??! Next morning, it went off again. Member of staff reset it with a key. 3rd night, I put our halogen heater on, (one of only two electrical appliances we were using). A member of staff came round checking up on people, looked into our tent, and came up to the window and said we had to turn it down low, or it would trip. Again, said it was caused by campers using halogen heaters too much, inferring it was not their problem. I turned it down but was annoyed, as we only had a draughty trailer tent not a warm caravan and felt we may have needed heating more than others. An hour later a different member of staff came past to check campers were keeping everything turned low.

Having purposely booked a pitch with hook up, and paid for it, this whole farce annoyed us a lot, we did not steal a weekend away from stress to face this type of thing. Each time staff complained that campers overload the circuit. Are there too many pitches to cope with the supply? You should not advertise something you can't deliver. On leaving, you have to get the deposit back for the toilet key. The member of staff just gave me five pounds and didn't even say goodbye or wish us a safe journey. Never had this problem before in 5 years of camping. The electrics, and customer service approach need a lot of work. We will not be staying at this site again.
