 We chose the site for its facilities for kids and I have no complaints here. We did not get to use the pool, but it looked good, if a little small.
The bar and entertainment in the evening were great and they put an act on every night. They could do with putting on a real ale option, but I would not expect that from a camp site.
The problems we found that have put us off are: -
-> My wife and daughter report that the ladies often did not have toilet paper and in both the mens and womens the soap ran out and was not refilled.
-> the tent field was exposed. The wind was fortunately mild, but still manage to bring down two tents and the dome tent next to ours was trying to bend backwards for more than a day.
-> when we arrived it was in the middle of a swarm of insects. Every thing was covered in them. I have never seen so many flies in one place before. There was so many varieties as well and we nearly turned round and left. After a couple of hours they just disappeared. The next day we had no problems and then it rained overnight. We went out in the car and when we got back spiders had taken over the site. Our tent was a mass of spiders and webs. You could here the noise of insect sprays all over the site. After the spiders the flies came back and swarmed everywhere spoiling our BQ, then just like on the first day they all vanished by 19:00. Obviously this is not the camp sites fault, but at the very least I would not come back here in August when insect swarm in humid conditions.

Just returned from 4 wonderful days at this site.
Was welcomed on arrival by a friendly and helpful staff member, and was directed to the camping field.We then pitched our tent on the field which was quite dry especially as it had been raining for two whole days previous.The field definitely benefits from no fixed pitches as this helps keep the grass alive all over.My children made full use of the well equipped play area which also had rubber matting under all areas.Toilet blocks are quite a distance from the camp field especially if you have young children who can be caught short at any time.The toilets were mostly clean but could do with some modernising.The on site clubhouse provides refuge for all sorts with large screen sport,family room and a spacious conservatory, beer a good price also.Did not use the on site chip shop although it always smelt most inviting.
In general this site is very family friendly and great value at just £ 100 for 5 nights in the summer holidays.Will definitely use again.

Good points well stocked shop and friendly staff. Good play area for children. Great views from camping field because it is at the top of a hill.
Bad Points dirty showers/toilets which flooded outside door in rain which are a fair hill walk from tent field.
Sloping field where tents were packed on making site very noisy all day and half of night. No hot water in washing up shack
Grass quite long on tent field

Just got back from a really good weekend at the Crows Nest, we were pitched right by the kids play area on quite a slop but it was fine.
There were 4 adults and 5 kids and the weather was down to be terrible, but it turned out to be fine if not a bit windy - cant blame that on the campsite though! What is disappointing are the people who felt the need to smash up the toilet block making all but 3 of the toilets unusable - staff sorted this out as best they could. It might be being a father and middle age has crept up on me, but why do people show no consideration for others. We had a small fire lit and were just had a beer round it both nights - no problem but the number of people who just scream and shout til the wee hours I am not lying when I say 3am I was still awake. However when our kids woke at 6am we didn't let them go running around screaming and shouting - funny that. We had a really good time but I would say I think next time we'll go somewhere that has more strict rules and less groups of teens/twenty somethings. Also washing up facilities are somewhat lacking and all the electric hook ups were around the play area so all the bigger trailer tents were pitching there so you couldn't keep an eye on your kids. A decent enough site spoilt by loud groups (even though it says at the entrance about no large groups)

This site was recommended by a good friend, enjoyed every minute, would go back again. Nice and quite. Large field to rear of the site to pitch a tent with amazing views over the beach. Only downfall was it was VERY windy.
Shower block was clean and tidy, a little dated. Plenty of toilets and showers so no need to ever que.
Didn't use the pub or the swimming pool, didn't get chance to. Went on a long walk just before dinner, was suppose to be a 15 min walk, was enjoying the views so much we were gone for 2 hours. Lovely walk, couldn't find a save route down to the beach though.
Felt really safe the whole time we was there.
Close to Filey and Scarborough.
The Fish and chip shop was a good price and tasted just as good as any I have tasted anywhere else.
Would recommend to all first time campers try to pitch your tent by the side with some shelter.

Just come back from a weekend stay here, first time away in our caravan but we could not of choosen a better site, hard standing pitch close to shower block and toilets. The showers were free and hot, clean.
Nice fish and chip shop on site also small shop well worth a visit we will be going back again real soon.

First time to this site and first impression was great. Nice friendly staff, camp shop well stocked, toilet / showers were clean and pot wash was ok (when you could get hot water). Childrens park was great, soft surfaces and plenty of swings, climbing frames etc. Can't comment on the pub / entertainment or the fish and chip shop because we didn't get to try them but both looked ok.
Downside to this site is that you are very open to the elements in a tent. There is no getting away from the wind. We were unfortunate to have a tent pole break because of it; so ended up packing up and going home after 2 days

First ever camping trip to this site.
Very well stocked shop - bought a windbreak reasonably priced. Good facilities - toilets clean , no long queues for showers. Good pot washing station plenty of hot water.
We camped towards cliff -wonderful view but very windy (obviously)
Regular security patrol but be aware of potential noise at night- young campers - on site clubhouse with entertainment. Chip shop on site also.
Assault course style playground for kids -near to camping field.
Would return in future!

Tent with EHU
Just returned from Crows Next yesterday, park is well maintained, club house small for size of park. The shower blocks are old,and not very clean, shower was very small and hard work to get changed in it. The electric hook ups are right besides the kiddy park so can be a little noisy, but that didn't worry us because we had kids. The ground was very stoney so take good pegs with you, also can get windy, as its high up on top of cliff top

Have been to this site many times over the years and after reading some reviews thought I needed to comment.
The tent area has basic facilities, shower/toilet blocks could do with upgrading. No soap and hand dryers are usually cold. These are my only poor comments
On the plus side. The tent field has a fantastic view of the bay, what a sight to wake up to each morning.
The site is ideal for visiting other resorts, Bridlington to one side and Scarborough to the other.
The on site entertainment has always been first class. We enjoy live music and have never seen a poor band here at all. Ok it may be quite late to finish some nights but if I wanted a quiet and tranquil site I would go elsewhere, there are plenty to chose from.
The onsite shop is as good as any other campsite I have visited and the fish and chip shop is fine for a night off from cooking.
Sunday mornings there is a large market and car boot just off site which is very good
