 Beach was a mile away on a nice dog walk but when we arrived we were on top of a cliff about 30 foot above the beach so no way could we get down due to erosion of the cliffs, very unsafe, the foot path was unsafe as I jolted my back a few times with the holes under the grass.
After first day on site I phoned Mr moos ice cream parlour to ask where the fishing was, to be told by some male that there was no fishing on site, I said it clearly states on uk campsite fishing on site, he totally disagreed with me so why is it saying fishing.
We were only going because of fishing and beach, so disappointed.
A lot of patrons who frequented the ice cream parlour brought their dogs to he site to walk them but noticed they hadn’t cleaned up after them, not all of them but a lot, so annoying.
On the good side ice cream was ok but expensive, site very clean, grass nice length cut lovely but grass cuttings not cleared up so dragging grass in every where. Didn’t use the shower facilities as used our own, but you had to cross the car park to get there, it was a porta cabin.
We stayed on cl site but there was space on rally field, rally just arriving as we left.
We were asked for our caravan and motor home membership number which we gave so we could stay on cl site then the rally that came was from the caravan and camping club which they were advertising with big signs and flags.
Main road noise wasn’t much of a problem but was some heavy traffic, also cars doors banging constantly as next door to the car park. Won’t be going back.

Management response: We apologise for any confusion or disappointment - the beach and fishing opportunities are a short walk via the farm walk down to the beach, along which you can walk for miles at low tide. Our listing and location maps show this. |

Just returned from a 9 night stay at this super CL site,
Easy access from main road and plenty of room to manoeuvre on the CL site,
Toilets and shower in a Portacabin with two toilets ans one shower, mop and bucket to clean the shower area after use to keep the area clean but as usual a small number ignored this facility and left it for next user to clean before use,
Very poor EE / Virgin phone signal, TV reception good,
Good location for the area and we will visit again.

Nice pitch on the CL section of Mr Moos which is next to the car park for the icecream parlour. We love the icecream and there is a nice walk to the seashore which takes about 10 mins. Staff are friendly and helpful. Negatives- the main road is very busy and noisy.
The TV reception was poor and on our first night we had virtually no reception at all, we retuned the next day and it improved a little.
There is also no wifI. None of this spoilt our break but the main negative, which they could vastly improve is the shower/ toilet cabin This is really dingy and grim, and not ideally located as you have to walk through the very busy carpark.

A very pleasant site, with the CL pitches being in a sheltered, small field with part hard-standing.
There was electric and water close to hand however the toilet facilities are quite a trek. There is a 'unisex' cabin containing 2 toilets and a shower BUT as us ladies know there is no such thing as 'unisex' as there is no privacy for us (or the men come to think of it). They are cleaned daily but soon became very dirty so perhaps a regular check would be in order.
Having slated the ablutions, I will come to the positives: peaceful despite being close to a busy road, sheltered by tall trees, grass well-kept, dogs welcome, and well-signposted farm walks from/around the site.
We will return but just hope the toilet/washing facilities are given more thought soon.

After reading a set of very positive reviews, we booked, paid and arrived, looking forward to a charming site and a restful sit around the van. We're not Caravan Club members, so we knew we wouldn't be on the CL. Our neighbours on the site were, but they were members numbers 6 and 7, the CL was full, so they ended up next to us.
On arrival, we (and our neighbours) were greeted in a very friendly way, and we were walked across to the big field, where we started to set up camp. It was lovely - finely mown grass, trees, lots of space, shelter from the sea breeze, perfect. Whoops, just a few minutes later we were told the field was booked for a rally and we'd have to move. We moved, into 'the paddock'.
This was the start of our disappointment. It was a narrow strip, with a wonderful view of a wind turbine and the cows that supply Mr Moo's ice cream business. Complete with their flies. Complete with permanently pitched workers' caravans & cars huddled untidily in one corner of the paddock, which prevented one of our neighbours from pitching, until the men had returned from work.
The blokes were fine, they came and went very discreetly; just that their static vans changed the character of a site that had promised to be so pleasant.
The site was regularly visited by ice cream customers who wanted to show their kids the cows, so from time to time we were gawped at by outsiders, and felt that 'security' was a bit wide open here. And then it turned out that the rally consisted of just five outfits sharing that wonderful field, capacity 10 units. Grrrr.
The facilities are. OK, but there is no emptying point for campervan grey water.
Positives are the easy access to the sea, (but not a 'pretty' sitting beach and hardly any room to walk along), a bus service to Bridlington and Hornsea at the site gates, and provided you can wait until opening time at 10, a restaurant (breakfast???) on site.
Really really disappointed.

Myself and the wife have had our first weekend away at mr moos this year and had a lovely time. We have stayed here many times over the years and can never complain.
We arrived this year to find they now have a shower cubicle in a portacabin with a toilet. These were very clean and the shower was lovely and hot.
They have a cl site which is for adults only and also a rally field for caravan club rallies.
The ice cream parlour is a great place for kids selling all varieties of ice cream but also the do a lovely breakfast. Skirlington Sunday car boot and giant market is only a 5min drive away and bridlington not too far away.
We have just booked some more weekends away here.

Lovely little site, perfect to explore the coastal villages. Visited hornsea mere and found a great fish and chip shop 'whiteheads' which I would recommend, also with food in mind, mr moos ice cream was on our doorstep with an array of delicous flavours which the kids liked, but they do snacks too.
As for the kids we had a trip up to bridlington which was nice and a short drive away (30 mins), all in all a nice base to visit other places and we will return if in the area.

Mr Moo's is a Caravan Club CL 5 (5 Caravans). The camping field looked well maintained but due to the time of year/weather we had to stay on the car park which is setup for the winter season. The only uncomfortable part of this was the busy car park using the Ice Cream Parlour / Cafe, which is very modern and sold a delicious range of ice cream. It appears from adverts that the site is becoming adults only from 2011, so play equipment. But dogs were welcome.
During the hours of 9.30am to 6.00pm you had to use the cafe toilets via the cafe and outside these hours could loan a key to use external door to the disabled toilet. It was very clean and roomy and appeared to have (or in progress) the designs of shower. Otherwise you had to use your own caravan shower/toilets.
Skipsea village was a few minutes drive with pubs and shops but supermarkets were only four miles away in Hornsea. There was also a local walk to to cliff/beach.
Despite being on a carpark for winter, and the lack of a shower meaning we had to use and clean the one in our caravan.
This was our first time on a CL not living far from the East Coast probably only the 2nd or 3rd time to visit it. However, the fees were reasonable and with friends we had a brilliant time and will certainly visit the site again for a quick getaway.
The staff were very friendly and when we asked to move from the nearest pitch to the cafe car park to the furthest, they had no problems.

We have stayed at this site several times for long weekends, they are two sides to the site the Cl and the rally field, the rally field is open aspect, the Cl is very nice and sheltered by some trees. The pitches on the Cl are very large and being mainly flat (just one pitch we had to use our levelling chocs) The grass has always been very nice and tidy. Booking in at the Mr Moos counter is no problem at all, the staff being very pleasant and helpful. We think the site is good value and priced correctly.
We were leaving the site on one occasion on the Sunday, our pitch was booked out but when asking the staff we were told that there were no problem with us pulling the caravan off the pitch and putting it in the car parking area of Mr Moo's so that we could attend the Local Sunday market with ease.
We would never hesitate in returning or recommending a visit to this site (and have in fact rebooked)
No play area activities but plenty of room for kids to play.
Dogs allowed on site.
Mr Moos the ice cream parlour is very nice and as you can imagine they make wonderful ice cream on site, they also have a cafe but we haven't tried the food there. On first looking the ice creams did seem a little pricey, however, they are quite a good size and we found one with 2 spoons were plenty for us (two adults), ended up being well worth the money. Plenty of seating area outside the ice cream parlour / cafe which was good for us having a dog.
No showers on site, however, they are toilets through the cafe to use, when the cafe is closed you can gain access to a disabled toilet via a side door, you need to get the key from Mr Moos staff which you keep for your duration / stay, a £5 refundable key charge applies. The toilet is always very clean.
A good walk down the side of the camp/rally field will take you to the quiet beach, if you walk left you see a lot of the coastal erosion and have to walk quite away before you can get back off the beach, If you walk right on the beach you come to the Far Grange static camp site followed by the Skirlington static / touring site. The Skirlington site also has a Indoor & outdoor Market several days a week which is well worth a visit. (not sure if the outside part of the market is only on a Sunday though) also a Sunday carboot is held on the grounds. A swimming pool on site which I believe allows visitors.

Sat Nav coordinates N 53°58’28 W 00°12’32
I would highly recommend this site. It is a breezy coastal site but the 5 pitches are given a degree of protection from the wind by high bushes. The rally field is a bit more exposed but is perfect for kite-flying!
It is adjacent to a busy ice cream parlour (Mr Moo’s) and dairy, but the caravan pitches are separate and screened by hedges so it is not intrusive, especially as it is otherwise surrounded by fields. Mr Moo’s also sells high-quality hot snacks and sandwiches and we ate very well during our stay. The staff were very friendly.
Behind the parlour there is a viewing platform where you are encouraged to see the cows that produce the milk for the ice cream. At the back of the car park there are some electric hook-ups for late arrivals as the ice cream parlour closes at 5pm, however as we knew in advance we were going to be on the rally field we set up there and spoke to the staff the following morning.
The water pressure is quite low so it takes a few minutes to fill the Aquaroll; this might be an issue if a large rally was attending. The CC handbook states there is a toilet available; I think I found the door to it but it was locked throughout our stay so I can’t comment on it further.
A 10-minute walk along an adjacent footpath leads to the beach. The footpath takes you past a WW2 aircraft observation post, a Cold War monitoring station and two WW2 pillboxes. The beach closest to the cliffs is littered with building debris and exposed metal from the numerous buildings that have fallen into the sea due to coastal erosion, but when the tide is out a large clean sandy stretch is exposed. The row of houses(!) along the cliff edge are living on borrowed time and I was told they were once the subject of a TV documentary.
To the north there is the seaside resort of Bridlington, Bondville Model Village (N 54°06’01 W 00°10’07) and Sewerby Hall (N 54°06’08 W 00°09’51) with a zoo containing monkeys and penguins. Further along the coast is the beautiful Flamborough Head (N 54°06’57 W 00°05’00) with its lighthouse. If you visit at low tide there are plenty of rock-pools to explore and a rocky coastal walk under the cliffs for the adventurous, but be sure to return before the tide turns! To the south is Hornsea and its Freeport shopping village (N 53°53’51 W 00°10’00), although the pottery has long since gone.
There is a Post Office with general store in Skipsea, a Tesco (including a petrol station) and a Somerfield in Bridlington. The closest Fish and Chip shop we saw was on the caravan park in Skipsea and Calor Gas is available from the first caravan park on the left on the road towards Hornsea.
