 This site really has been brought up to the highest current standards. The reception / shop / games room building and the facilities blocks (one on each section of the site) are very modern and kept spotlessly clean and tidy. Pitches are a good size and well laid out.

There is a pedestrian gated exit at one corner of the lower site and this leads directly onto one of the village roads, with two pubs and a convenience store / post office within 2-300 yards.

The 'Star' pub is a traditional local and the 'Farrier' is a high quality pub / bistro / restaurant. The food is excellent, but be prepared to pay around £150 per couple for 3 courses and a mid-price bottle of wine - we did and thought the quality fully justified the price.

Scarborough is an easy 3-miles to the centre and certainly worth a visit to see one of the traditional English sea-side resorts.

 Access to the site is easy from the A64 towards Scarborough follow the CAMC directions and when you get to Cayton village turn left into Mill Lane and the site is about another 100 metres on the left.

Cayton Village CAMC site has recently undergone a major refurbishment and it has been completed in our opinion to a very high standard. A lot of thought has gone into the planning and layout.

The site is split into two areas and there are pitches to accommodate all tastes from Super Service to Grass. A couple of pitches even have EV recharging points for electric cars, we have never seen this before and perhaps it is the way forward. The site also offers several different types of static accommodation for non-campers.

There are a couple of pubs within walking distance (5 mins from entrance/exit gate at the top of the lower site). We had a meal in The Farrier and it was excellent but note it is very popular with locals so you will need to book in advance.

We hired a car from the local Enterprise via the CAMC website prior to arrival and the service from them was excellent. This enabled us to visit the many local places and attractions without moving the Motorhome. Our favourites were the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, Rivleaux Abbey, castle Howard, Thorton-le-Dale, Helmsley and Burton Agnes Hall.

We also used the excellent Bus service from right outside the site Scarborough one direction and Filey and Bridlington in the other. Scarborough and Filey were nice but we were not to impressed with Bridlington.

We were very pleased with our stay at this site and the wardens were friendly, helpful and hard working. We would happily recommend it.

 To Find Site:- Take A64 towards Scarborough, at roundabout take B1261 towards Filey. In Cayton village turn left into Mill Lane. (Signed) The site is about 100 metres on the left.

Cayton Village was previously a commercial campsite until purchased by the CMC in 2017. This is a very large site split between two sections. We first visited the site in 2019 when it was much the same as before the Club took it over. Since then, the site has undergone a major refurbishment.

On the main site there are now 99 pitches, all but six are hardstandings. Of the hardstanding pitches 26 are serviced, 3 are Premium serviced pitches and the rest are standard hardstandings.

On the upper site there are a further 106 hardstanding pitches, 10 serviced pitches, 3 premium serviced, 7 dedicated to tent use and the rest are standard hardstandings. Each section has a large new toilet block, both with open grid motorhome service points.

There are water/waste/CEP points dotted around the site but some pitches are some way from these points and given the recent refurbishment it is disappointing that there is not at least an extra service point in each section?

Electric bollards are convenient to all pitches and are rated at 16 amps and use CEE17 blue connectors. The bollards are the new type which trip the supply when disconnected and there are illustrated instructions to show how to reconnect when you re-plug in. Unfortunately, there are no Co-Ax TV connections.

We got a reasonable signal with rooftop aerial but did experience some picture breakup. For younger children there is a rather nice adventure style playground on the main site and on the upper section there is a netting enclosed basket-ball pitch.

Next to Reception is a well-stocked shop selling most essentials. There is also a small games/TV room next door. Currently this is the only access to WiFi on site via a hotspot.

The Club are currently upgrading their WiFi offer across the network but eventually there will be site wide access. You can use your phone data allowance to connect to the internet but we found both 02 and EE difficult at our particular pitch, maybe because it was in a bit of a dip?

The site offers several different types of static accommodation under the “Experience Freedom” brand, this option can be booked online. Cooked Food vendors are also available on site on certain days, reception will have details.

This site is ideally situated between the resorts of Scarborough and Filey. It is a short walk into Cayton Village where there are a couple of convenience stores plus a pub and fish and chip shop. There is also a rather nice restaurant come coffee shop called the “The Farrier” which we used for coffee.

For a larger shop there is a Morrisons about 2 miles away. There are excellent bus links from the immediately outside the site entrance to Scarborough one way and Filey and Bridlington in the other direction. From Scarborough there are also bus and train services across a wider area.

Whilst the main attraction of this site will be the ease of access to the coast, Cayton Bay only a mile away, it could also serve as a good base for touring this part of Yorkshire. Castle Howard is about 25 miles away.

 I was disappointed by the wardens attitude on arrival, I am blind and he didn't seem to understand how to talk to a blind person. The lady warden in the office didn't give off good vibes either. We were told to go and choose a pitch. Firstly we filled at the motorhome point. This is all very new and it is obvious that the site has had a major overhaul and everything seems pristine.

The pitch was fine certainly large enough.

The facilities block has been modernised but during our stay the wind and weather ws very cold but the block was not heated at all. Many other visitors said that it was too cold to stay in the toilets long let alone brave a shower. I did ask a female warden, who was very friendly, and she said the thermostat was at 20deg C. All I said that it was a shame that no-one ever checked it as it was freezing.

There is a small mini-mart within walking distance which became as we needed an Amazon delivery and that was a pick up point.

There is a back entrance, for pedestrians, into the site which is useful.

There is a bus stop outside the entrance gates. One way is Filey and the other way is Scarborough.

I needed a 6kg propane cylinder exchanging and there was a place nearby opposite Morrisons.

Our stay here was ruined by the cold temperature which was consistent in the toilet/shower block.

Would we return? To the area - definitely yes but to this site probably not. AS far as we were concerned the only plus point was the bus stop outside.

 Even though the site is due to close for refurbishment the site was immaculate, toilets and showers very clean, site wardens very helpful and busy looking after it.

2 pubs and chippy within walking distance, lovely tea shop in the village shop, the bus stops right outside the site entrance what else do we need ?

We will be back next year to see all the exiting new refurbed facilities

 To Find Site:- Take A64 towards Scarborough, at roundabout take B1261 towards Filey. In Cayton village turn left into Mill Lane. (Signed) The site is about 100 metres on the left.

Cayton Village was previously a commercial campsite until purchased by the CMC in 2017. The Club have already signalled their intent to upgrade and modernise the site but currently it is being operated as at the time of purchase.

The site is in two parts, the main part with a variety of pitch types and a second part with all serviced pitches. The main part of the site has a mix of pitches although over half are serviced. Of the total 158 pitches there are only 29 hardstanding standard pitches but 46 standard grass pitches.

There are also 14 tent pitches. For anyone wanting to guarantee a hardstanding booking a serviced pitch might be the best option albeit at an additional cost.

Electricity of this part of the site is rated at 10 amp connected via blue CEE17 sockets. There are three smallish toilet blocks, one of which has dish wash and laundry facilities. Whilst all are kept clean they are now showing their age.

If the site was full they could come under pressure. For those not on a serviced pitch there are water points dotted around the site. There are grey waste points but not many. Likewise there are only two chemical emptying points in this section of the site. There is no motorhome service point but the wardens will point you in the direction of a suitable drain point.

For children there is an adventure style playground. Currently there is no WiFi available on site although we got a reasonable 4G signal on our phones. Next to reception is a same shop which doubles as an information room.

The second part of the site is called “The Laurels” has 110 hardstanding pitches of a generous size. They are classified as Super Pitches as they have 16 amp electricity connections and a co-ax TV connection. This area has one toilet block also containing dish wash and laundry. There are three chemical emptying points including one at the toilet block.

This site is ideally situated between the resorts of Scarborough and Filey. It is a short walk into Cayton Village where there are a couple of convenience stores plus a pub and fish and chip shop. There is also a rather nice restaurant come coffee shop called the The Farrier which we used for coffee. For a larger shop there is a Morrisons about 2 miles away.

Reviewer: Smarksmith 27 reviews from this member

 So firstly, a lot of the reviews are negative about this site as it's not up to CAMC standards and they shouldn’t change as much. Correct as at June 2019, it’s not as regimented as most other CAMC sites and if you directly compare it isn’t to the same standard.

Is it overpriced? We paid £37. 00 per night for 3 of us for a serviced pitch. We have paid a lot more and not received as much on non-CAMC sites. So taking it on its own merits for the price and location it’s fairly priced.

The site itself, booking is simple via the CAMC site. Access is pretty straightforward just make sure you come in from the north part of the A64 as most Sat Nav’s seem to bring you off at the A1039 then send you up a road unsuitable for caravans, if you do take this route in error you can carry on and go round but its a fair old diversion. Checking in is very friendly as always with CAMC sites with pitches selected by yourself on check-in.

The Pitches - These vary dramatically across the site in size, shape, and views.

There are 2 toilet blocks, currently only 2 Blackwater Points, lots of bin and water points if you haven’t got a serviced pitch. There are loads of both Grass and Hard Standing pitches, however, make sure you have some VERY good rock pegs if you want to peg down into the hard standing as I bent several rock pegs trying to get well pegged down. The water pressure on serviced pitches is restricted so it won’t blow most hoses apart (maybe a bit too restricted). It does say free WiFi is available we were on the serviced pitches at the back of the site and couldn’t get any WiFi signals (Using a WiFi analyser I could find “The Laurels” SSID at an unusable -90dB strength in areas)

The Facilities - The toilet blocks were cleaned to the expected high standard (Some people moaned about them shutting at 09:45, that's only one of them for an hour to clean them then they do the other one at 11:00). The only negative was the showers are controlled by a push button that needs pressing way to frequently and shower heads are a bit rubbish. The blocks are heated, light and airy and only dirty from inconsiderate campers using them. When they refurbish the site I hope they increase the Chemical Toilet points as with only 2 on-site it’s can be a fair trek to empty the toilet.

In the Area - The site is centrally located 4 miles from both Scarborough and Filey, 25 minutes from Bridlington and 45 Minutes from Whitby. There is a Lidl 10 minutes down the road, at Scarborough, which is probably the closest decent sized place to shop. If you fancy a walk you can walk to the beach which will take you about 15 minutes.

In summary - Would we return, yes, there is nothing really wrong with it at the moment, once it’s had the CAMC facelift over the winter I would hope it will fix a few niggles across the site.

 We stayed here whilst on a cycle touring holiday with our tandem, trailer and tent.

This was our longest stay anywhere during our tour for practical reasons as it was our planned mid way point where we could do some laundry!

Site was very quiet when we were there. Shop at reception has a few basics and were very helpful in charging mobile phones for us.

All the pitches are flat and quite spacious.

Showers pretty good and hot - not the most up to date in style but clean and functional.

We used the washer and tumble dryer which was very useful.

Decent location with access on buses to Scarborough and Filey. We heard a brass band concert in the gardens in Filey which was lovely. We ate at the Star pub which was decent and also had fish and chips from the chip shop which was very good.

The most expensive site of our cycle tour but not the best - maybe just not our kind of site.

 We booked for 5 nights knowing this site is due for refurbishment.

It is not up to the usual club standard. We had a service pitch which was very small. The facilities are dated but are kept clean by the wardens. The location is ideal 5 min walk to the local pub in Cayton.

The Star is a locals pub in which is very friendly. The menu is not extensive but the food is freshly prepared and very good. (we ate here twice).

Would I return?. Yes but not until the upgrade I think an adjustment should be made in the site fees to reflect the standard of this site. The wardens were friendly and did a great job keeping the site clean.
