 We visited in June 2011 and found the entrance inviting, clean and welcoming. The Reception is a little dated and we were asked to leave a £5 deposit for the key card which was to be used to drive in with the caravan. Cars cannot access after 11pm which I found annoying.
The site itself has a one way system which is easy to use and a good way of avoiding having to manoeuvre around. Our pitch was down at the bottom (think it was 6) which was quiet and peaceful. We were met during the week with torrential rains which flooded our awning.
The toilet blocks were clean mostly and accessible via your key card. The showers were 'just ok' as if you had a shower in the bottom one, you got all the dirty water from someone's shower running into your drain. The showers were chargeable too. The clubhouse was very clicky and it was very dated with magnolia walls everywhere-lacked a bit of character.
The site was well maintained and the pitches were overall good. The waste disposals were convenient too and so where the rubbish bins. We found it a convenient location for local attractions.

Very disappointed in this site, I asked when I booked if the pitches and access to the pitches was good as we have a large twin axle caravan and large car. They said pitch size was exceptionally large they even have the new Bailey Retreat sited on a seasonal pitch.
In reality the pitch was average, we were told to park car across tow bar, this was impossible no room. A motorhome next to us had millimetres to spare to fit on pitch. If we had an awning we would have to park car in carpark. We walked around whole site to find the Bailey Retreat, no sign of it !
Location of site is ok if you like to take a car everywhere, we prefer to walk, the walk into Scarborough was about 2.6 miles all down hill, the walk back up is only for the super fit. You can get a taxi. We were told by reception that a bus passes the site on main road, we couldn't see any bus stop and didn't see one bus pass us by, so think reception might be misinformed.
Reception was poorly stocked no bread or newspapers left by noon, other stock was minuscule.
Toilet/showers were in need of refurb, toilets were smelly and dirty and that was at 8 am so doubt they were cleaned the day before. Showers are operated by token, bought from machine outside reception, didn't use them as was dubious about cleanliness we used our van.
Site is mainly statics ( privately owned ) and all looked very dated. First impression when we entered site from main road was not favourable. Had to wait over 40 mins to get checked in as our pitch was still occupied reception staff had to tell them to vacate pitch it was almost 2pm, the occupants were not happy and gave us an annoyed look when they pulled passed us.
Positive points, pitch was fully serviced and price was a very reasonable £20 per night, however £2.50 for a dog per night was expensive, what was this charge for, the dog walk was a tiny footpath
In a wooded area by the statics no dog poo bins and lots of dog mess on the path.
Would we stay again ? 100 % NO

Just spent a lovely weekend at this site. Really good value at £21 per night as all the pitches are fully serviced (waste/water/electric hookup)just remember to bring your water hook up kit and a 3M length of waste pipe, pitches are spacious and easily accommodated our 27' van & awning with space left to park the car.
The site is very clean and well maintained and the toilets and showers are also kept nice and clean. The onsite shop is quite basic but that didn't bother us as sainsburys is only a 5 minute drive away. All the staff I spoke to were helpful and polite and the check in process was dealt with efficiently.
The on site pub/clubhouse is a good size and has games for the kids a couple of pool tables and a few fruit machines, there was entertainment on Saturday night which was fairly decent and thankfully not too loud, we did not try the food but what we saw looked decent enough, overall a decent pub and a bonus that its right there on the site.
We will definitely be returning to this site as I love the fully serviced pitches and the location is superb for visiting the surrounding areas, 6-10 mins into Scarborough depending on traffic.

I went to this site in Scarborough as it was my first outing and I needed somewhere with good facilities to try out the caravan and it had good reviews. I certainly wasn't disappointed with my choice!
The site is excellent with fully serviced pitches (electric hookup, water drain and tap) which are also hardstanding and have their own hedges and grass lawns. The staff on site are friendly and keep the place spotless.
Went in the shower block once (used my caravan facilities the rest of the time) and they were immaculately kept and spacious.
I didn't try the Jacobs tavern pub on site as it was closed most days (it was low season and very quiet). The site is a 2 mile gentle walk to the rail station but its all downhill and the taxi back is £6.
All in all I fully recommend the site!

Jacobs Mount is in a Great location for Yorkshire's coastal resorts, picturesque market towns and scenic countryside.
We called in here with a tourer without pre-booking during the high season and although the site was very busy, we found the owners to be friendly, very helpful and accommodating.
Access in and out of the touring/camping area was via electronic barriers, operated by a card which was issued on arrival (£5 refundable deposit) this same card also opened the doors of the services block. On the secure side of the barriers was also a car park for extra vehicles, which weren't charged for when using this facility.
The site is gently sloping with level pitches on terraced rows.
Tourer pitches are all-weather hardstanding and 'fully serviced' which, at a price of £20 per night during August 2011, we thought was excellent value (there are additional charges for awnings and dogs). Take a long electric hook up lead because the mains conection point is on the opposite corner of the pitch to your caravan.
As a guide to a tourer pitch size - the hard standing area was approx 30' long and the width would fit a caravan with its' awning (remember your hard ground pegs), to the right of this was a mown grassed area, ample for a vehicle, or a recreation area if there was room to put your car on the pitch across the front of your caravan. There is no room for parking on the 'one way system' single tarmac roadways.
Several pitches on corners and the top of the site are wider.
Our stay was during the summer school holidays but other than the immediate area of the childrens play ground we found it to be very quiet and peaceful. The play ground itself is outside the touring area so it would be advisable to accompany younger children.
A down side to the site was the fact that there was only one service block, which was situated outside the barrier entrance. It had a family bathroom, dishwashing and laundry facilities but only four toilet cubicles and six shower cubicles in each of the 'ladies' and 'gents'.
Toilet cubicles were large and each had a small wash hand basin in. The Shower cubicles were divided to provide a separate changing area with a plastic seat and clothes hooks. Showers were operated by a token - 40p each or 3 for £1 available from a machine on the wall outside reception, the coins went into the appropriate box outside the shower cubicle which started an immediate countdown of 7 minutes of hot water.
The on site pub seemed popular which had a pool table, a few game machines and entertainment during the week-ends. It opened at 7pm for evening meals with a varied pub type menu at prices averaging around £8. We did visit on Sunday evening at about 7. 30 but it was busy and we had a wait of 45mins for our food, we both had steak pie but to be truthful the pastry was very hard and some meat had dried out, seeming likely that it had been over heated in the oven, maybe the food is better during less busy periods.
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return here.
For a great day out we highly recommend a steam train trip from Pickering to Whitby (£21 adult return) perhaps stopping off for a while at Goathland (T. V. 's Heartbeat location) many trains on a varied timetable throught the day

Just returned from a week as Jacobs Mount and well what can I say. I can't really fault the site to be honest.
If you are looking for a site which has loads to do then maybe this isn't for you. It's a quiet site but is really nice.
In a great location, ideal for Filey, Scarborough and Bridlington.
You have to pay £5 on arrival for a card to allow entrance to the main touring site and the toilets but it is refundable on departure.
Small playground for the kids, we didn't go in the club so can't comment on that, shop has basics but tesco and sainburys 5 mins away.
All in all for the money you can't beat it. Would I return. YES definitely. £165 for a week with EHU Awning kids and dogs. I would recommend it.

Just returned from a lovely week at jacobs Mount. We were welcomed by the receptionist who directed us to our pitch. There is a returnable £5 deposit for the keycard for entry through the security barrier and the toilet/shower block.
At most sites we have visited we were given a little leaflet or info regarding what's near us or if anything happening locally but not here, maybe this is something to think about
The site itself is well laid out with spacious pitches however the pitches opposite are very close and the road quite narrow so pitching up the caravan was quite difficult as people opposite were parking on the edge of the hardstanding and the road. You have your own water tap which is very handy.
All the pitches were on hardstanding and grass ours was flooded with a huge puddle due to all the rain, we left this to dry up before attempting to put the awning up, the awning was up the next day in a dry spell but the rains came again and our awning flooded, obviously a problem with drainage or uneven pitch number 28.
Once hooked up the electric kept tripping out, the manager was doing his rounds and noticed my partner having trouble resetting it. It turned out the fuse was broken which he replace within minutes.
The toilet blocks are lovely always clean and never busy, showers are done by token 40Peach or 3 for £1, not alway hot more lukewarm but all the same clean and have a separate door to stop your clothes getting wet.
The clubhouse on site was very busy on the Sat night as there was a singer on he was brilliant and a good night was had by all.
All the children on site were very well behaved and polite and noise was minimal at all times of day and night. The campsite is centrally located for Scarborough, Filey, Whitby, etc and a great base for your holiday. I had a great time and would come back if in the area.
All in all a good holiday maybe a tad expensive compared to other sites.

One word. Fantastic
We were there for one week Saturday to the following Sunday and we had a great time, even though there were only myself and my wife we found lots to do, the town itself had lots of pubs and entertainment, we walked most days in to town and to the sea front which we really enjoyed even in the rain, got the taxi back which cost no more than £6, the boro taxi lads were great.
There's no bus stop out side the site but this did not bother us at all.
The toilets and showers were very clean and well stocked ( toilet rolls, hand wash etc)the pub was great, the bar staff were very friendly and a good laugh.
The shop was a little low on stock. But you had the major super markets just a 5 min drive away.
All in all this is a great site and we are looking forward to returning very soon. Try it yourself I think you will really enjoy it.

Midweek visit during good weather. There were 2 adults a 3 year old and a 4 month old baby. Very quiet on the site. Offered good value at £48 for 3 nights (caravan, awning, hookup and serviced pitch).
£5 deposit was required for a card to open the barrier and toilet block doors.
The toilet block was clean enough but not spotless. There was family bathroom (with Bath - 2 x 50p to fill with hot water).
Good sized children's play area. There was a smaller play area near the bar, but our 3 year old was more suited to the larger area.
Unfortunately there was a bit of litter in the play area and the bushes around. This didn't really cause any hazard it just looked a little unsightly.
The on site bar was closed on Tues & Wed night, we chose not to visit on Thurs night when it was open, so we cannot comment on this.
There was a tiny bit of road noise at night but that didn't bother any of us.
We found the site well placed for visiting Scarborough. Far enough out of the town yet only about 10/15 mins drive to the front. You park just outside the popular locations using a disk (pickup for free) for 3 hours max.
The Dennison Arms in East Ayton (about 5 mins drive) is highly recommended for food. Good value (£25 including drinks) and large portions.
Betton farm (in the direction of East Ayton) has a small selection of farm animals and a large play area. Entry is free (donations appreciated). Also a tea room, bakery & bee exhibition.

Quite a nice site,with a decent pub with food served.A nice play area for children though no area to play football,but when the tent area was vacated me and my grandson were able to play there.
Shop on site selling very basic needs and newspapers.Everyone was very friendly especially in the pub.
All the pitches were fully serviced and quite spacious.
I don't think there were enough toilets/showers for the amount of touring pitches,and the toilets wernt cleaned regular enough.
The showers work on a token 40p each or 3 for a quid and you do loads of time.The showers are quite dated and in need of a refurb.
All in all its a nice site but there is nothing in the near vicinity,no shops to walk to.Nothing. You need to drive into Scarborough It's too far to walk.
There is a public footpath which up the side of the camp which is good for walking the dog,through woods and fields.
We enjoyed our stay but due to the location don't think we'll be going back.
