 Very pleasant site with all amenities perfect for families tent hook ups situated all around a very large children's play park absolutely ideal for ourselves as our 3 & 5 year old were able to play morning till night and we could see them all the time. Fantastic walks from site with stunning views over the coast be careful trying to access beach near to campsite easier to get down to than get back off. Toilets basic but clean. Chemical disposal points were blocked in both blocks. Indoor pool great value for money £1.50 a day or £8.00 a week per person, under 5's free excellent with slide & u can return as many times as you want with your day pass.
On-site bar but we never used this as kids were worn out every night from playing. On-site shop well stocked with everything, very close to Scarborough & filey within 10 mins of both.
We will be back later in year loved it

I have just returned from this site. We stayed there for one week with another 3 families all using tourers. This site is very basic. The toilet blocks were very dark and dim and were not the cleanest.(even during the night there was no lights). The showers cubicles were very small, hardly enough room to get dried impossible to take a small child in with you. The overall site was unkempt, a lot of litter about and a lot of dogs poo (that is down to the lazy owners of pets).
The shop is very well stocked but I did find that they freeze bread and resell it without telling you, as I bought a loaf thinking it was fresh and when I checked the sell by date it was two weeks out of date, when I enquired about this I was told it was ok.
The swimming pool is small but is ok for what you want. The pub is ok and does have entertainment. The fish and chip shop on site is very handy and quite nice.
Overall we did have a good holiday ourselves but sadly we will NOT be returning to this site.

Mixed feelings about this site.
Overall, the range of facilities provided are good. The camp shop was well stocked, the staff were friendly and the prices reasonable. The shops morning opening time is a little late for my liking and it could also do with staying open a little longer in the evening.
I was a little concerned that they seem to have an unusually large amount of alcohol for sale though. I'm not against people drinking though I do believe in moderation.
The pool is very small for a camp of this size and the charge of £1.50p per person though reasonable for all day can be expensive if you just want a dip in the last hour.
The chip shop closed before the stated time so we didn't get to try it out. (Maybe they should revise the board that has the opening times on)
The bar was very good. Reasonably priced with excellent live bands in the evening. Children were welcome and all the kids present on the two nights I visited were well behaved, no running about screaming. For those wishing a night without the bands, there is another room with a jukebox and television and pool tables with no noise bleeding through from the other room.
The toilet / shower blocks are far from adequate for the number of people using the site. The gents facilities near the top of the site had 5 shower cubicles with similar number of washbasins etc. There were no squeegies or mops so the floor soon became covered with grass and mud. My daughter tells me that the ladies facilities are on a par with the gents.
The laundry facilities looked ok though we didn't use them.
The site was well kept with private caravan owners taking pride in their plots and creating their own small garden areas. The roadways and grass verges are in good order and clean.
The site provides adequate water points and refuse bins.
By far the worst point is the site attracted campers who have no respect or consideration for others. One group of campers from the Newcastle area thought it was fun to sit outside their tents, shouting to each other at the top of their voices using extremely profane language until at least 2 am. In fact, one mouthy woman declared to all who were there that she was going to have an early night. She would be in 'effing' bed by 4 in the morning.
One other small thing that put me off returning was the fact that the owner of the site tore a strip off one of his employees in front of me for looking at his mobile phone. This should have been done away from paying guests in an office.

We stayed for 17 days including the Bank holiday in August. Over all the site was OK.
The indoor pool was OK but needed a bit of a clean there was a lot of sand at the bottom of the pool - still usable though. It cost £1.50 for the full day under fives were free.
Over the Bank Holiday weekend there were a lot of tents (never seen so many) and the touring pitches were all but full which made the bottom shower block inadequate for the number of people.
The kids loved the park is was well thought out.
The shower blocks were cleaned often but the number of people using it meant they were dirty over the bank holiday weekend.
Showers were OK lots of hot water but were only tiny cubicles. If you wanted to shower a child it was difficult to do so due to the available room.
It does have a good laundry facility wash £2.60 dry £1.50 for a timed hour.

I went to the crows nest site for the first time with my family. we found the site clean and tidy and staff very polite and helpful. There was a bit of noise from the club after eleven which is annoying when you have children. But that was my only fault I found.
I am going back for a week on the bank holiday weekend and hope to have as good a time as the first. R blenkinsop.

Just returned from our first family camping trip, just stayed one night to try out new tent.
the good.
Fish n chip shop was fab! As was the shop, everything reasonably priced, pool looked fine but we didn't use it. Didn't go in the bar either.
the bad.
Toilets and showers were awful, toilets dirty, sinks looked grubby, didn't use the showers but had a looked, they were very small and very grotty looking, you'd have to put your clothes in plastic bags to stop them getting wet. There's no way I'd use the showers. Also toilet blocks were a good walk from the tents (amongst the caravans), not great when you have 3 small children!

This was our first camping trip, we paid £15 per night which we didn't think was too bad. Facilities were clean, kids play area was good and we had fantastic views of cliffs.
Only real problem was noise. People were noisy coming back from club house and some were really bad til 1 ish in morning

Situated 4 miles from Scarborough and about 2 miles from Filey Crows Nest clings to a gentle hillside , in a picturesque part of North Yorkshire. A long driveway leads you to the main reception area , along with a shop bar swimming pool fish and chip shop etc. Campers are placed in the top field about a quarter of a mile from the pub. The field has exposed places and hidden places with good cover from winds, I found most people enjoyed camping on the further most part of the field, right on the cliff ledge! Although the views are sublime. The site is located next door to the Blue Dolphin site , partitioned by a barbed wire fence, however it does not stop people climbing over.
The camping field has longish grass and is not individually marked, not a problem in my book as the field is that big. There are 2 main refuse points on the field with fresh drinking water, the rubbish is emptiied twice a day. A large clean play area is provided for children with lots of different facilities. Some Caravan owners however were not using the provided dog training area ! so please look out and report them.
Site security is low although im sure if we needed them they would appear. Toilet blocks were large and well lit, but the 6 shower cubicles were a little small. Im 6ft 1 and 15 stone! All the showers worked fine. The hand basins and toilets were all cleaned regular and replinshed.
The site in general is very tidy with a neat one way system. The bar is fine, with a good sized clubhouse featuring good local bands. I appreciate people have differing thresholds of what they think is good or bad, this review is how I see it. Crows nest is not the best, but not the worst, it offers sensational views, maybe better shower facilities would award this site 5 stars

This was our first family camping trip. We went with two other families for a weekend and had a fantastic time. The toilet's and showers though, a bit of a walk away were clean and plentiful. The children loved the pool and the shop sold every thing we needed. My only gripe is the late night noise. My 'neighbours' spent the later hours talking to each other, while in bed, in their respective tents! There was a tent on electric near the play park (which was very good) which had loud music blasting out. While going to the loo one night I heard a lady complaining to her man that she would not be able to sleep with that racket. We were not near this tent as we chose to go near the cliff top - fantastic view.
