Liked: The site is splendid and have visited a few times now and shall keep returning. The pitches are great and you have your own space without the worry of someone pitching up next to you. It’s quiet and a well managed and looked after site by John who is very approachable and makes sure you’re ok and should you need anything he’s on hand. Overall a fantastic site which I hope doesn’t change too much and get commercialised.

Unpowered grass campervan site
Liked: Great location, friendly owner, pitches are a good size and well maintained, nice views.
Disliked: We knew there wasn't many facilities when we booked, but it's a real shame as the site itself is nice, but in order for us to return there would need to be better facilities. Rubbish bins, and a basic shower/loo block are essential really. Other sites in the area have that for a similar price.

From the manager: Thanks for the feedback Charity ... as it is our first season, there are lots of things on our wish list - showers and bins included. Luckily the rugby club 200m away is available for a shower for £1 - and you get 10% off their cafe too! Maybe bins will come sooner - however, we advertise as a 'wild camping site' and try to keep things as close to nature as possible. With this in mind, people who enjoy the great outdoors all know that they take their rubbish away with them to keep the area nice and tidy. We just use the same principle. One thing that Scalby Tops has, which not many other sites in the area do, is have the amazing sea and Scarborough Castle views and is 5 minutes away from the beach (by car). In the words of Phil & Kirsty - "It's all about location, location, Location." Thanks for staying though, and for taking the time to give feedback - it really is appreciated.
Excellent site, large pitches, very clean facilities, lots to do.

Liked: Brilliant campsite, John was absolutely lovely and there to cater to any need, always around on site to help. Cleanest portaloos I have seen and constantly stocked on toilet roll :). We hired a fire pit which was a game changer for the nights we were here. The campsite is in a good location. And there’s a rugby club next door where you get 10% off in their gorgeous beer garden. There’s plenty to do around the area everything’s within a 10 minute drive, we went to the beach, park and water park it was a brilliant holiday, thank you!

Disliked: Only bad point no shower block , electric or hot water but knew that when I booked. You can however have a shower for a £1 at the local rugby club.

The facilities may be basic, but they were constantly kept clean and refreshed by the owner, who was friendly and helpful throughout. We will be back next year for sure, hopefully for a bit longer.
