Following a 5 day visit to the site, I can say I would return,
The pitch size was extra large which I was happy about as I paid extra for my tent, the ground was flattish but could be better.
The pub was good and the staff on site are extremely friendly,
The shop was poor in it's content but not an issue really,
The ladies said their toilet block was clean but the mens needed a good scrub and the toilets being located in the same room as the sinks and showers was poor in design,
Same with the washing up area, two sinks and one drain board was pretty poor.
All in all an average site which I would return to, but due to the price they charge for the pleasure, not as a first choice.

Visited for a weekend and found the staff really friendly and helpful. We were shown to our pitch which was very close to the pub on the site. The pitch was quite tight although there was plenty of room at the front of our tent which gave us a feeling of space. We did not notice the noise from the pub too much which it is open from 8am til 11pm.
The toilet block was very clean and I had no trouble getting a shower at 8am even with a very full site. We did however have to queue to use the pot washing facilities housed in the shower block between the ladies and gents. The site appears to be very well managed.
The surrounding area is fantastic with lovely views especially along the cinder track between Hawsker and Robin Hoods Bay. There is a cycle hire place close by so that you can choose between cycling or walking the track.
It is the most expensive site we have stayed at but the beautiful weather and helpfulness of the chap with the jeep (jumped started our car which had a flat battery) made up for this.

Like before us we arrived on site to discover that the £25 per night fee we had been quoted on the phone did not include electric. We had to pay an additional £5 per night. It was a very expensive five night stay, especially considering the facilities on site.
There is a small shower block which was always busy as the site was full. The chemical toilet disposal is just a man-hole cover that you lift up, very unhygienic. Very smelly and very hard as you are bending - also no proper facility to empty waste on motorhome.
There is several basic taps for filling water etc. Not enough facilities for the size of the site though. The shop stocks very basic supplies. The staff are very friendly.
There seem to be a few caravans that are on permanent pitches and were a bit intimidating when passing. Felt as though we were on their 'turf' so to speak. Not many adhered to the 10pm quiet rule and this was not policed. There were also some noisy dogs. One of which was directly opposite us and whined all the time as it did not like being tied up.
The pitches are close together we felt crowded and set on very small gravel patches, not what could be classed as proper hard-standing. Once we opened our pull out awning it was impinging on next door. If we would have been a full size closed awning we would have stepped out the door and touched the van next to us very tight fit and when the evening drew in we could hear the family in the next van chatting in their awning and hear their TV.
Dogs are allowed on site but not in the pub, there is a gazebo set up outside - not the best if it's cold or raining.
There is a wonderful pub in the village though called the Hare and Hounds, amazing place, great food and jolly staff, plus they let dogs in no problem. Book early if you want to eat in the Hare and Hounds restaurant as very busy. Fabulous food average £9 a meal but really nice atmosphere.
The site is OK if you spend your days out walking the wonderful coastal paths between Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay, and Cinder track nearby. The staff on site are the saving grace, very helpful and friendly. All in all a beautiful area but overpriced and too squashed in

Very friendly staff, we were made very welcome.
Facilities good and kept clean all the time we were there and the site was very busy.
The bar had a couple of games of bingo during our stay, again we were made to feel very welcome.
Take away meals from the hotel very good quality.
Shop well stocked and it was great that you could order your morning paper for the next day.
The actual pitch we were on was a little cramped but we had good neighbours all around us so no troubles on that account.
I did think the fee was a little high and I also felt a little disappointed at having to buy an electric card for £5 but only used approx £2. 40 worth of electric during my stay.
Great dog walk field and excellent location for Whitby.
No grey water waste drain for a motorhome and the lack of a full facility to empty the chemical toilet (just an drain in a large hole under a metal cover with no flush or water supply at present) badly let the site down for us but I have been told they are in the process of installing these features. How long has this site been open though, shouldn't they have had them by now?
We will return, the staff made up for any lack of draining facilities

We've just returned from our family camping week at York House caravan park. Fantastic location
On arrival we were met by friendly staff who showed us to our pitch.
The tent area itself was split into 3 sections.
We were on the first level for electric tent pitches with the main camping field being at the top of the hill.
Facilities - the toilet block was clean, 3 toilets and 4 showers, I never had to queue. There was a laundry room with 2 sinks, a washing machine and dryer. Wi-fi is available but it's not free as stated, it costs £7. 50 per 4 nights, and the connection was not available all the time
There is a kids playground, but it was very basic There was a big field next to the playground for ball games etc. And a very good dog walking field.
The site has a shop it is very small and only sold the most basic items. There was also a games room with pool table, table tennis table and a couple of arcade games.
There was also a small bar open til 11 although to my disappointment they would not let dogs in, they did say the bar served meals but when we arrived and tried to order food we were told they did not serve food, although the hotel did we made other arrangements at the fantastic Hare and Hounds pub across the road which sold very good food, has a large beer garden and dogs are more than welcome.
Security seemed good with an electric barrier on the entry and a code for the toilet block. The staff drove round in a jeep at about 10pm as well to check on everything.
Overall, York house is one of the most expensive in the area, amenities for the tariff are very basic and should be better.
My total cost was £135. 50 for 4 days.
Would I return, No I don't think so, I would try other sites first. Despite the fantastic location

Just spent a weekend at Yorkhouse. Nice site and the staff are wonderful, very helpful and friendly. The pitch was a very poor hard standing and you are quite close to your neighbours but we didn't encounter any noise or problems for being so close, probably visa versa.
Specified barbecue points, good idea.
Didn't use the play area, but lots did and looks fun, nor the emptying points so cant comment on them. The toilet block for the ladies is very good with 6 loos and 4 showers, wish I could say the same for the gents.
Three toilets, one with a broken seat and one that filled up with water when you flushed it. There are notices up from the owner saying about refurbs so perhaps this is something that will be sorted. Also very little ventilation ie no opening windows which were dirty with cob webs and grime. Laundry come dish wash area. What can I say - two sinks and only one had a draining board. This also housed the hair dryer and the room is very small to accommodate washing machine, dryer, sinks etc, needless to say the Qs' are long.
Re electric we were given the option of paying for a pound card or all inclusive, so perhaps if you are long stay they charge you the extra inc EHU.
Never went in the pub but plenty did as we went to the Hare and Hounds 10 mins away. Could be a better site with more improvements but we still enjoyed ourselves.

We've just returned from our 1st family camping weekend at York House caravan park. 2 adults, and 3 children - 2, 3 and 11. As it was our first camping trip I can't really say how it compares to other places but this is what we though of it.
On arrival - met by friendly staff who showed us to our pitch. To get to the tent area we passed loads of statics and 2 fields of tourers and motorhomes.
The tent area itself was split into 3 sections. It's on a hill so they have done it like 3 flat level terraces each bordered with trees and bushes on 3 sides which gave good shelter.
There was about 5 tent pitches in a row on each section. Ours was the end one near the road down there, so there was loads of room next to our pitch, but the guy showing us to the pitch told us we had stay within the red markings on the fence, our tent is huge (kalahari 8) so it took up most of the space and our guy ropes went passed the red marks as did our car, but when he showed our neighbours to their pitch a few hours later he didn't say anything.
Facilities - the toilet block was clean, 6 toilets and 4 showers, I never had to queue but I imagine that in the school Holstein you might have to. There was a laundry room with2 sinks, a washing machine and dryer.
There is a kids playground, but it was quite basic and too big for my 2 year old, though my 3 year old and 11 year old enjoyed it. There was a big field next to the playground for ball games etc.
The site has a shop but we didn't go in, it looked quite small so probably on stocked essentials. There was also a games room with pool table and a bar in the hotel was open til 11 and welcomed children. There is a bus stop nearby to get the bus to Whitby.
Security seemed good with an electric barrier on the entry and a code for the toilet block. The staff drove round in a jeep at about 10pm as well to check on everything.
On the saturday our porch blew down and they even rang us to tell us. We are thinking of going back in a few weeks for a week long stay.

We have just got back from a weekend camping at York House, our first ever time camping, and we loved it!
We went as a group of 4 adults and 5 children in 2 tents. The other couple and their 2 children have camped at York House a few times before and so we went with them on their recommendation.
The site staff are friendly and very helpful, nothing is too much trouble. We needed to use the site shop on Sunday but found it had already closed when we got there. One of the staff noticed us and opened it up for us. It was really appreciated.
We took most essential items with us so didn't really have a need to use the shop (except for a few sweets on Sunday!) so I didn't notice whether it had a good selection or not. There was a shop not too far away that was very reasonable so we used that a couple of times when we were out and about.
Pitch size was plenty for our large 8 man tent. We were in a EHU field that had about 10 tents on so it didn't feel crowded. Our field and the site in general was fairly quiet as night time came which was welcomed, and no noise in the night itself. It did take a little while for some of the older children to quieten down for the night which resulted in my young children (5,3,2) not wanting to settle down as they thought they were missing something! I would say that that will be the case at most places though.
The toilet block was clean and well maintained in my opinion but then I don't have anything else to judge it against at the moment. I didn't have the job of emptying our toilet, that fell to my husband! He didn't have a problem with the facilities to do it though.
The playground was great for older children but not really ideal for younger ones as the only access to the slide was a vertical ladder which my 2 and 3 year olds couldn't manage. We made use of the large playing field though and had a few games on there.
I would definitely return to York House again, thoroughly enjoyed our first family camping trip.
