Reviewer: Jacksquirrel 1 review from this member

 We have stayed on this site a few times now and we are never disappointed. The wardens are always friendly and helpful without being intrusive. It is a small site tucked away but that is exactly what we look for in a site so we are very happy with it.

The toilets/shower block are always clean and I like the fact that the radio is on in there. The showers run at exactly the right temperature and do not turn off every couple of seconds. The block itself is always nice and warm even on cold days.

The owner of the site is also very friendly and approachable. He also runs the pub near the site which serves excellent value for money food. We have eaten both evening meals and Sunday lunch here and both were lovely and we have never had to wait too long for our food.

There is a shop in the village which is run by the local community and is stocked well. It also has a post office.

Overall, we find Lythe a very friendly place and will be returning here for many more visits.

 Stayed here as I live close and used it as home base for a few days as could not get time of work. Dined at pub(stiddy) and it was lovely landlord was genuinely nice and wardens seemed nice as there was no need for any queries as everything was good with my stay. The walks around the site was perfect for my dog and locals were lovely. Overall really good value for money with showers that last longer than the average campsite and a really friendly atmosphere, able to keep yourself to yourself.

 A fab little site. A gem.

Arthur and Christine do a fab job. Toilets are kept prestine, despite the Yorkshire weather.

There are 4 Pods and a Shepherds Hut, about 20 caravan positions and 10 tents. All appear to have electric hook up.

Food in The Stiddy is second to none. Local shop sells everything yo need and there is a bus service to Whitby every 30 mins from the gate. Will be back

 If you don't miss the poor signage and find the site there is a fairly long track full of large pot holes to navigate which even at the stated 5mph was in danger of causing damage to our car or caravan. When we arrived we had to find the cleaner to discover where we were pitched. No welcome here, with nothing on the notice board except an ad for the local cafe. Nowhere to park while we sought her out and we did not see anyone in our 4 day stay other than the cleaner who was struggling to deal with the mud everywhere. The drainage is poor and the balding grass with a bit of gravel thrown on are what qualify as hard standing. Only one working shower in the gents and 2 in the ladies which were either red hot or freezing cold and were the annoying sort that have a button that needs pressing as they cut off after a few seconds. The electric did not cut out but there was no individual water taps and no wifi. Tv reception really poor not worth bothering with. Yes the views are good with pheasants roaming around the van but we also saw a less appealing sight. A rat.

For the price the facilities are very basic and we will definitely not be returning.

 Our first visit to the site and unfortunately quite disappointing.

We were the only tent on the site (remainder were caravans) but it was extremely difficult to find a pitch that was free from mud/soft grass able to take a car. Many of the tent pitches are also on a slope and quite exposed. Caravan pitches have a hardstanding suitable for a car but the tent pitches do not. OK in dry weather but not so when wet as on this occasion.

The toilet block was clean and warm as was the wash-up room with adequate hot water. There was a security camera in the wash-up room, the first time I have seen the need for this on a camp site.

The owners, who live in a caravan on the site were possibly not the friendliest of people in our experience. My wife was rather abruptly told off by the lady owner first of all for staying beyond 11am on the day of departure for which we apologised. Ten minutes later and whilst still packing away the tent, the husband came across who also reminded us that we should have left by 11am. The manner of this double ticking off seemed a little over the top, especially as we were the only tent on the site and it unlikely many others would be arriving at the end of a wet weekend in April.

Entrance to site is also extremely potholed (filled with lying water on this occasion) with much debris strewn on one side of the track, not the nicest of entrances to a camp site. At the time of our visit, there was a large artic lorry parked up in the back field that appeared to have been there for a long time that seemed be used for storage, again a bit of an eyesore if the adjacent pitches were the only ones available.

The area is extremely nice and site is close proximity to Whitby (3 miles) but based on our experience (two nights), we would probably look for a alternative site next time.

 My wife and I have stayed here several times and although we are only 30 minutes away up the coast this site is nice and small and the staff dead friendly. The site is just off the coast road towards Whitby and about a 10 minute drive, there is also a Local Pub on the Main Road and David the landlord owns the site, were the food is excellent and home cooked and always fresh. The site also has fantastic sea views and is only a 20 minute drive to Goathland, and Grossmont were Heart Beat was filmed and you can also ride on an old steam train.

Whitby and the North Yorkshire Moors has so much to offer and there is so much to do, I know I live on the doorstep but believe you me the fish and chips in Whitby are unbeatable.

 Visited this site for the first time with the wife and our dog and we were both well impressed nice small site so not over run and the staff were very friendly, the shower block and toilets were immaculate with instant hot water and even background music. David the owner also owns the Local pub the Stiddy with his wife which serves Excellent food. We will both definitely be back again for many times to come, as it is also handy for Whitby and Goathland were for those that do not know is were Hartbeat was filmed.

 First class.

Showers and toilets are so clean.

The Stiddy pub is at the end of a lane well worth a night in for a drink and entertainment.

We had a thunder storm the day we arrived but the ground is so well drained, cost £14 for the 2 of us for one night.

Will be going back in a few weeks. Highly recommended.

 We had our very first camping experience at Lythe Caravan & Camping Park stopping 12-13th Sept. We arrived late due to traffic and missed the turning into the campsite (its behind The Stiddy pub) so had a little trouble finding the entrance to the campsite. The owner, David, who also runs The Stiddy pub was very helpful with directions and accommodating when we had to arrive at 7:30pm at night due to the traffic.

We arrived on the Friday night and shown to our electric hook-up pitch (number 24). This area of the campsite was slightly tucked away from the main part of the campsite shaded between two rows of trees and was on the main thoroughfare to The Stiddy pub (we did hear a few people returning from the pub late on the Sat night so avoid this area if you don't want people walking past your tent). As it was just the two of us it was nice to have a quieter area of the campsite (in fact on the Friday evening there was only us and a motorhome at the far end of the strip). I would however suggest you ask for a pitch in the main area if you wanted to be near the washing facilities and other campers / caravans if you wanted to mingle more with the other campers.

The second night however we returned from a trip to Whitby to find our area of the campsite to be full with several other tents and motorhomes on our of the campsite. We unfortunately had two sets of really loud young couples pitched up next to us which did impinge on our relaxation on the second evening. There are no wardens who patrol the campsite after 8pm so there is no 'quiet time' to adhere to.

The showers and toilets are impeccably clean and warm though with separate showering facilities with roughly 4 showers and 5 toilets per side. There is also a utilities room with washing up facilities, washer, dryer and freezer for ice-packs.

Location-wise it is great with a bus stop to Whitby right outside the campsite with the bus (4/X4) running every 30 mins into Sandsend and Whitby. We had a nice walk into the Sandsend bay and then took a bus into Whitby.

On-site, approximately 50 metres from the campsite is The Stiddy pub which is quite small inside but does sell good food grub (up until 8pm) and a nice pint!

We would definitely come back to the Lythe Caravan & Camping Park as its a great little campsite, in a nice location with a pub within walking distance and a short bus ride to Whitby.

 Just back from our second stay at Lythe - I left one of the first reviews on the site 3 years ago! Is still an excellent site, the facilities are still well maintained and clean with the on-site warden keeping a close eye on them, and there is a washing machine and dryer in the pot-wash now. We were pitched on the lane that runs down towards the pub, and the tall hedges and trees meant that it was very sheltered, although we had a couple of very windy nights it didn't affect the tent at all. The food in the Stiddy pub is still excellent but the main selling point for the site is the location at the top of Lythe bank, close to Whitby and Sandsend beach. Looking forward to returning again - but not leaving it 3 years this time!
