 Overall we were disappointed with this site. The staff were friendly and the kids (5 & 7) enjoyed the entertainment. But the low points are the facilities were inadequate for the number of visitors.
The swimming pool is over crowded and small. It is only open for general swim for 2 hours in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. They operate a 1 in 1 out system. It is too deep for small toddlers. ( my 5 year old had to stand on tip toes to keep his head out of the water. ) There are only 4 cubicles so we had to wait 10 minutes then 4 of us sharing! The lockers don't have locks so don't take valuables with you.
The club house is ok but very over crowded at night. It took over an hour before we got a seat. Drink Prices are typical and food prices were reasonable.
The arcade is small. It is just a few machines in the walkway to the pool and cub house/restaurant.
The pitch numbers were clearly marked but no obvious boundary between pitches. The shower/ toilet blocks were just porta cabins with not enough showers. Only 1 tap per field to fill up water bottles. 2 sinks for washing pots but only 1 draining board.
Withernsea it self is a small town with reasonable facilities but the beach is not very inaccessible with lots of steps down.
Overall I think if you visit out of season it may not be too bad but would not recommend during peak season. We will not visit again

Just had a great midweek break camping at Withernsea Sands. We had an electric pitch (BlueBell 4) which was good. Security was helpful as at one point someone else pitched their tent about 1 FOOT from ours and they were told to move! The entertainment was good (we have kids 4 and 7) and the entertainment staff should be congratulated on their enthusiasm. The swimming pool was small but good and clean. The park shop well stocked with essentials you may need.
To Improve: The BlueBell toilets / shower block should be cleaned and restocked more than once a day. There is no excuse for the state they are in by morning.
Some of the camping pitches (BlueBell 2 for example) are totally unsuitable for tents (big holes in them which need filling leading to flooding!)
Perhaps Park Resorts can sort this out!

If this had been our first camping trip I would have put the camping gear up for sale on our return home! We stayed on an electric pitch so we weren't crammed in like the non electric pitches. Our pitch was very uneven with a manhole cover right in the middle so it was difficult to see where we should pitch, other campers arrived and scratched their heads too about where to pitch. It would have been good if there had been a staff member available to assist with this.
We were close to the ball park so sometimes heard foul language coming from the teens who were playing football which wasn't very nice especially when camping with children.
The club house was quite noisy with music which could be heard quite late at night. The bar was very pricey. There was a nice playground attached to the bar area which is locked so the kids can't get out so they can play in safety.
By far the worst thing about the site was the shower/toilet/washing up facilities. There are 2 shower blocks. One is very much overdue an upgrade and the other is a portable cabin. The shower in the shower block was lukewarm and had one of those push buttons so the water stayed on for about 15 seconds before it needed pushing again. I used the disabled shower as I needed a bigger shower for me and my toddler. Don't put your clothes on the chair at the end of the cubicle because as soon as you put the shower on they will get wet. Ironically the only place in the shower cubicle that you struggle to get wet is straight under the shower itself!
The toilets needed a good clean. There was a male attendant who tried unsuccessfully to keep up with toilet rolls and hand towels but they often ran out.
The dishwashing facilities were not great, especially as there was no plug in the sink.
The swimming pool wasn't brilliant as there were only 4 cubicles. There was no time limit on how long you could stay in the pool which was great if you were in there but not so great if you were queuing.
We paid £24 per night which I think was too expensive given the state of the facilities.
The reception staff were pleasant, as was the man selling statics. There was a camp shop and launderette but we didn't go in there. The only facility for buying food was in the bar/restaurant but we didn't eat in there.
We won't be returning to this campsite and will opt for smaller family run parks in the future.

Just returned early from Withernsea Sands Holiday Village ( Park Resorts ). We found Withernsea a depressing place needing a serious revamp, almost could be described as a ghost town, only seemed busy on saturday (but its still not really holiday season). But in the main town there is a well stocked aldi supermarket and a further 5 mins away is a small tescos, so no worries on the groceries.
The beach is shocking. The sea is brown and the sand can only de described as rubble, how can it be a blue flag beach I found wooden pallets, bottles, a 20L jerry can among other things. A real shame as there is some good history around the area.
As a site, Withernsea sands is adequate, as a holiday location it is not. The truth is, we couldn't wait to get home! The resort was not too bad, a well stocked shop, the entertainment was good and thrown in on the price of the booking, the swimming pool was not the hottest but done the job for an hour, but the main gripe is the arcade machines, you have to pass them even to get to the kids play area and a good plot to get you to spend your hard earned cash.
The washing up facilities would have been great if there had been plugs in the sinks and some hot water. The staff seemed friendly enough but seemed to all ways want to sell you a caravan.
The pitch we had was reasonably level but water logged and the site is very windy. We visited the deep in hull, excellent value for money and the dinosaur exhibition, again very good for a few pounds. The old light boat in the marina, a very interesting boat that was free to look round.
All in all not a bad weekend for our first camp of 2012

Just returned from a very enjoyable weekend at this site. Weather could have been better but Withernsea Sands was still very nice and peaceful.
The pitch we had was reasonably level so no faffing around with levelers. Willow field is down the back end of the site so well away from the main entertainment area. We suffered no noise problems.
The toiled block is what is to be expected of a campsite. Plenty of loos but only 2 showers. Mind you it is in the middle of the statics and they all have showers and loos in them. They were nice and clean with plenty of paper.
Staff were all lovely and very friendly and accommodating. 5* to them!
Withernsea is very much like other seaside towns up and down the east coast. Could do with a bit of regeneration here and there but otherwise it has everything you could need. Even an Aldi! Having said all that you cannot take away the fact that it is full of very friendly Yorkshire folk.
Turn right out of the campsite and you will very soon see the sea front. It is possible to walk into town all the way by the sea. It took us about 15 minutes to walk to the town centre but that is with me dodgy knee - able folks will do it in 10.
We loved out weekend so much we have booked to go again in May - cost us just £20 for a 2 night stay with electric. Jumps up significantly in June to £42

We were the only tent campers not using electric and managed to pitch on the only levelish area in the middle of the field.
The ablutions block can only be described as outdated and in need of renewal or at least refurbishment (and a good clean wouldn't have gone amiss).
The washing up facilities would have been great if there had been plugs in the sinks (plenty of hot water)and they had not been next to the chemical toilet emptying point.
The on site bar was pleasant enough although drinks were pricey, the food, however, was good value, well presented and tasty, we tried the burger and the breakfast and both were lovely.
The surrounding area has an air of neglect, Withernsea has little to offer but Scarborough is a lovely seaside resort and not too far away.
We only paid £2 per night courtesy of a national newspaper, would not have paid full price.

We returned early yesterday from this camp site.
Normally tent campers, the weather and a 7 month old baby forced us to try a static caravan.
Not wanting the 'fun park' thing we were not disappointed in Withernsea sands park, it was very quiet and peaceful yet the facilities were there to be used if we wanted.
We found the staff pleasant and helpful.
The caravan was ok, a luxury after years of tent camping! yet perhaps it could've been in better condition, missing door handles, ripped seats etc, but generally it was clean.
Good job really as we spent most of our time in it.
We enjoy walking but there was no where to walk with a pram and a dog that wasn't on a main road with no footpath; or along treacherous cliffs! the site has sea views but you have to walk down steep steps to actually get onto the beach and then it isn't close by.
We tried walking just opposite the site, where there was what appeared to once have been a campsite, with broken windows from the old facilities block and abandoned dog poo bags piled up next to discarded electrical appliances and other rubbish just left where it was dumped.
We ended up just walking around and round the site!
We then optimistically ventured into the village, the promenade was a short respite from what greeted us. A place desolate and neglected. Many houses boarded up and for sale. The junk yard in the centre topped it off for me. The people in the shops were miserable, that is the shops not closed or boarded up. It felt like a ghost town!
It was a shame as it has the basics to be a lovely sea side town. Some interesting history and the reconstructed pier are lost amongst the pound shops.
The weather wasn't on our side but I'm sorry to say we found Withernsea a depressing place.
We drove out to near by Bridlington which was basically slot machine city in the centre
As a site, Withernsea sands is adequate, as a holiday location it is not. The truth is, we couldn't wait to get home! :-(

Hi me and the family and some friends went for the last bank holiday. Was told we would have to book a two pitches for my tent [Corado 8] and a third pitch for my friends tent. Got both tents on two pitches. The third piych had a big hole in it. All the pitches were uneven and they were not cheap. We had a bit of bad weather when we there, had to help move a tent as it was in a hole full of water next to the toilet block. The toilets keep running out of loo paper the staff were not helpful. The bar was too small for the site, heard a couple of complaints from other holiday makers about this. I will not be booking to go camping here again. But we did enjoy the rest of or stay at Withernsea sands.

had a great week camping and we had plenty of room not over crowded at all. We was on the first field right next to main building so it was a little noisy late at night. Only a few bad points such as lack of loo paper due to lack of hand towels(so have a loo roll handy) toilets and showers were spotless cleaned every morning any mess was down to users, washing up area was always clean and its under cover only 2 sinks, bar food was very tasty and reasonably priced no higher than a pub, usual ploy had to go thro amusements to get to the swimming pool/ playground and club. Onsite shop well stocked and the ladies are lovely and full of information such as where to visit etc. Withernsea itself not a lot there but nice if you just fancy a stroll along the sea front. We had a lovely lunch at A. JS in withernsea very tasty homecooked food and found a very cheap bakers for tasty snacks. Also visit Bridlington lovely seaside town and the deep in Hull good day out on the whole we had a good week and the weather was good be prepared to do some driving to visit good seaside etc.

Having just returned - early - from this site, I feel I must warn campers about the facilities and area.
Pitch - Whilst a good size, there were enough dips and troughs to find using any kind of furniture awkward. Although the camping field was always full, there was plenty of space around our tent, though the screaming and shouting obscenities could be heard clearly day and night.
Toilets and showers - Only 2 showers to service 2 fields. Usually hot and free, but dirty. Hairdryer didn't work. Take your own toilet tissue as usually run out by tea time.
Dishwashing facilities - Undercover, but dirty.
Clubhouse - Small, so get there early if you want a seat. Adequate, though food is just about ok.
Swimming pool - Ridiculous system of 1 in/1 out. There are 4 cubicles with doors at either ends for dry people wanting to get changed and wet people wanting to get dry! If raining, be prepared for a long wait. Pool small, though there is a tiny baby pool at one end.
Staff - Although not quite rude, I would have to describe them as indifferent, even fed up!
Withernsea - I'm really sorry, but can only describe this town as depressing. The beach is shocking. The sea is brown and the sand can only de described as rubble, with broken glass and dog mess thrown in for good measure! The nearest decent beach is Bridlington, a hours drive away. There is a soft play area situated in an amusement arcade in the town, which is only a short walk away.
Playareas - There are 2 play areas. 1 is on open ground which has a zip wire and is a congregating area for teens and also their drunken parents at 4 in the morning! There is also a nice play area for smaller children which we found locked at 6pm.
