What customers say

This campsite offers a fantastic location, a short walk from Runswick Bay and on the Cleveland Way. Visitors praise the clean and well-maintained facilities, friendly staff, and spacious pitches. The nearby pub is also a highlight. While most reviews are positive, some mention the steep walk back from the beach, and a few noted issues with shower temperature or occasional wind. Overall, it’s a highly recommended, well-managed site.

Craig M.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked This is a lovely, clean and well maintained site. The owner was friendly and polite when we arrived - bit weird having to pay the balance of our camping stay in cash as they have no card machine (but hey - cash is King!). Facilities were nice and clean - the toile / cleaning block is one building with a good, clean room for washing pots, 3 washing machines (pay extra) and separate toilets / showers. Again, all reasonably clean.

The tent field was big and open, with each pitch clearly marked out. It seemed a bit stony underground - I know its been dry for so long this year but I mashed a few tent pegs as I seemed to hit undersoil stones / rocks quite a bit. Just a minor point.

The site is positioned next to a pub that serves food - can't comment as we didn't sample.

Other than that, all good - would go back again. An easy 15 minutes drive from Whitby and a great position up on the top of the cliffs.

Disliked Beware of the 5 minute walk down to the beach! It is 5 minutes down but more like 20 minutes back! Its a stupidly, steep road down and you have to walk it back up! Not for the unfit or elderly. No-one pointed out that there is a car park down there and I could have taken my car! The gradient must be a 1:5 or a 1:6 or something like.

Also, like I've mentioned above, not having a card machine is weird - its 2025 but no biggie.

Showers ran cold me us, no hot water.

Nothing else really to dislike.

Quita R.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Fab spot with a lovely pub less than a minute away and it’s dog friendly.
Facilities are clean, slightly dated but good.
Good washing facilities including washing machine.
Everyone in site was really friendly, esp a young boy who had caught some Mackerel and was offering them out!
Beach is a ten min walk there, 20 back as steep bank but lots of benches for breaks.
Runswick bay is my favourite place ever so deffo worth a visit.

Disliked Ground very hard so bring a decent mallet!

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely site, changed a lot since we were last here, with the added bonus of a cut through near the pub to save us walking on the main road.

Disliked Noisy camping neighbours - one side of us had tv on too loud & a camping group near us had music on and were drunk & noisy. Not a peaceful experience. But that’s our bad luck, could get this on any campsite.

Local attractions

Getting out for a walk is a good idea here – either along the coast or out into the moors (Falling Foss waterfall, 25 minutes’ drive away, is a good place to aim for). For other fresh-air activities, you could go surfing in Saltburn-by-the-Sea (25 minutes' drive), follow the bike trails through Dalby Forest (45 minutes) or climb into the trees at Go Ape Dalby (45 minutes). Whitby (15 minutes) is a must-visit, of course – to walk the 199 Steps, visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum and follow in Dracula’s footsteps at Whitby Abbey. A little way south, Robin Hood’s Bay (half an hour) is also a great place to take a stroll, with fossil hunts and ghost walks as well as National Trust - The Old Coastguard Station to explore. More seaside time? How about a day out in Scarborough (45 minutes), with its Sea Life Centre, open-air theatre and Alpamare UK waterpark? Alternatively, mix up coast and moorland scenery with a heritage ride on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway from Whitby to Pickering.
