 What a fantastic site! All previous reviews are correct; great pitch, great facilities, great owners.
Don't underestimate the closeness of the local pub - turn right out of the main gate and there it is! Locals seem friendly and never heard any rowdiness at closing.
Only minor downside; the tent pitches are pretty close together, and the snoring of the bloke in the tent next door was interestingly tuneful - but that's the joy of camping!
Whitby is a short drive away (9 miles), and is a great place for a day out. Loads to see and do, and the best fish & chips for miles!

This is a lovely site. You have the choice of 2 fields - I would recommend the one furthest from the amenities as it is much flatter and has far more room.and it isn't really that far to walk to the showers/toilets. There is a small wash station near that field too so you don't need to carry your washing up too far.
The toilet block and main washing up area look brand new and are very clean. There is a fridge/freezer and microwave for you to use free of charge although you have to pay for hot water and showers. There are also washers/driers that you can pay for.
The owners are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. There are a number of walks from the campsite to lovely little villages. Staithes and Runswick Bay are very nice. There are a couple of pubs in staggering distance. As mentioned in previous reviews, the Brown Cow is a little tatty but the food is OK. The other pub is more presentable but I didn't really rate the food there. It is really easy to visit Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay etc by car from the site but there is also a bus service to Whitby which even on a Sunday was running every hour.
The only criticism I would have of the site is that as we visited over half term we deliberately chose this site as it was billed as a predominantly adult site and we didn't want to have lots of children running around. There were actually quite a number of children on site - perhaps it will be more predominantly adult outside of school holidays.
Overall a very nice site.

New to camping and so didn't really know what to expect. We found the campsite to be quiet and peaceful - dogs were kept on leads at all times, a few children around but definitely predominantly adults. Toilet block small - only two showers and 3 toilets a short walk from the 'meadow' which was very flat and found it easy to pitch the tent here. Showers cleaned regularly and always had nice soft loo roll and added bonus of a hairdryer (said we were novices!) Owners of site very friendly and helpful. Although no entertainment facilities on site 2 very good pubs in the village - Badger Hounds good food but Brown Cow pub delicious food, huge portions and very reasonable (£11.50 average for 2 main meals). Whitby area gorgeous and would recommend to anyone not yet been, would definitely return to the campsite :)

We stayed over Bank Holiday weekend and although it was fairly busy it was nice and peaceful, even late at night when the pubs have closed and one or two of us have enjoyed a drink!
The facilities are clean and "homely" with one or two nice touches (pictures on the wall etc). The owners are very friendly and helpful. There is lovely countryside surrounding the site and lots of birds pay a visit.
It is a perfect base if you want to visit nearby Staithes, Sandsend or Whitby. It is also ideal if you just want to sit and relax and enjoy a rest. There are lots of walks nearby too.
I'm hard pushed to find a fault, if I'm honest! Incidentally, the "predominantly adults" tag line works. Although there were one or two kids on site they were all very well behaved!

As a last minute decision we (me and my partner) decided to visit Serenity after doing a general search for sites near Whitby. We were very pleased with our choice. The site was quiet although choosing a pitch was a little hard due to the field being very bumpy but just got close to the bushes. The owners are very friendly and the toilet block is the cleanest I have ever seen on a camp site. Although we came to visit Whitby which is 8 miles away from the site we were pleased that there are a couple of pubs within a very short walking distance from the site which was handy for a quiet night near the camp. One pub is directly opposite the entrance to the site!
We will definitely be visiting again, had a great time.

This has to be one of the best sites my daughter and I have visited. Lovely setting and truly serene as the name implies! The showers, toilets and washing up facilities are clean and light. Cost's 20p for Shower + Hairdryer, 50p for the Tumble Dryer and hot water for the dishes is 10p. This is goog value as the nightly charges with hook-up are also very reasonable. The owners are very friendly and make you welcome.
The surrounding area is beautiful, the moores are spectacular when the heather is in bloom. Whitby, Staithes and Runswick Bay are excellent in their own right and we had a very peaceful and enjoyable few nights. Would recommend Serenity to anyone.

Just spent a really windy August Bank Holiday Weekend at Serenity! The camp site was great, not totally child free but really quiet. Just one draw back...the the trek to the loos from the bottom field, is there no way that a loo could be added to the wash station half way??
Willl defo be going again.

We went to this camp site, thought it would be small as on here it says 20 pitches, but there was another field, also caravans. The site (first field) was a little lumpy here and there, you have to get as close to the edge as you can. There are some electricity points for Tents but you must ring and order.
We found the owners very friendly and helpful,..the showers are great and you get plenty of time, though you have to pay 10p to wash your dishes up, and the Dryer is 50p,(dont put a lot in) There are two local pubs, only 200yds away, go out of site turn left, then 1st right up the hill to the best pub, we met some really nice people here, we will definatley go back

Lovely site, lovely owners, lovely part of the country! Site relatively flat with loads of space between pitches. Tents and caravans in different fields. Toilet blocks smallish (3 loos, 2 showers with a wash cubicle in ladies too) but very very clean with loo paper! 20p per shower. Was surprised to have to pay 10p for hot water in washing up room and only 1 sink but again, very clean.
Owners very friendly and helpful. One pub over the road with good restaurant selling basic "pub food" but Brown Cow further down High Street which looks absolutely grotty from the outside is warm and friendly and not at all grotty inside. 3 real ales too!
Site description says "predominately adults". Not too sure what this means as there were one or two children about but wasn't large families with loads of children. Brilliant fish & chip shop few yards away, not open every day, and huge queues when it is because its so good! One very small general store and a butcher. So, all in all, I would definitely recommend this site and would go there again.
cheers and happy camping!

The site is in a lovely rural situation with a pub very close by that does great food. The village of Hinderwell is lovely and for once the site does not stretch the truth about the distance to places - Runswich Bay was just a short walk away. Whilst this is a lovely place I doubt we will visit again: We booked two campervans in for one night with electric two months in advance and paid a deposit, on arrival we were told without apology that they only had electric for one as they had to give priority to people wanting to come in for a week. It would have been nice if we had been informed when booking that they could and would do this. Alternatively they could have asked us if it was a problem and would we help them out - we would have been happy to relinquish the electric supply if the situation had been explained and we had been asked not told. The only reason I did not make an issue out of this is that I did not wish to spoil the night we were there. But there are other reasons for not revisiting the site: The toilet facilities are clean and new but a long way off luxury and inadequate for the size of site. You have to pay 10p for one sink of water to wash up! Its not the 10p but the inconvenience of having to have a pocket full of them. People were washing up and then cleaning down with cold water, which is not ideal. After breakfast the following moring we went to wash up armed with our only 10p to find that it did not work - apparantly the boiler could not cope with the amount of hot water required for the site! One visitor had not been able to shower due to lack of hot water. We took our dirty pots and pans home and will in future look for another site in the area as it really is very nice round there.
