Dave R.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked We had a great time, we camped near the cliff top.
We had phone signal, toilets, showers, a shop and entertainment.
What more do you need?
The staff needed a bit of cheering up but apart from that...cracking.
We will return, gladly.

Elle L.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Large fenced off play area

Large toilet and shower block which is cleaned regularly.

On site fish and chip shop is very good!

Handy little shop on site to sell basics, and even bags of ice for cool box.

The ability to pitch your tent wherever you wish if staying non electric.

Entertainment in the bar for both adults and children, and when checking in get info for opening times for everything etc.

Location is great, and access to nature trails along the cliff. Can walk to Scarborough (6 miles) and Filey (3 miles)

Short drive to Filey, Scarborough and Bridlington/Whitby so lots to explore!

Tesco, Lidl etc short drive away to stock up on food/drink

Disliked Swimming pool is smaller than imagined which wasn’t an issue, but the chlorine strength was over powering and myself and the kids could only manage 10 minutes as eyes were burning! Either too much chemicals, or simply lack of ventilation as no windows open.

Due to being able to pitch where you want some people would lack common sense and try pitch a tent too close for comfort.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your detailed review, Elle. We’re so pleased you and your family enjoyed the location, facilities and atmosphere on park, and it’s lovely to hear you’d like to return. Our pool is monitored regularly and chlorine levels are kept within recommended guidelines, but it’s always best for swimmers to shower beforehand to help maintain the balance. We’ll also pass on your comment about ventilation to our team. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch (overflow)

Liked Good located campsite ( overflow pitch).
Well stocked shop you can find everything you needed for breakfast , bbq etc.
Great facilities ,showers with nice hot water.
Quite expensive but delicious fish and chips !
Only one downside we found were very noisy seagulls at 4 o'clock in the morning and toilets located quite far from the pitch that were open over the night.
Definitely we'll come back again!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay on the overflow field and found the shop well stocked and the showers nice and hot. The fish and chips are always a treat too. Being on the cliff top does mean the seagulls can be a little noisy at times, but we’re pleased it didn’t spoil your stay and that you’d like to return. We look forward to welcoming you back.

I would definitely attend again. The staff were friendly.

Lisa L.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch (overflow)

Liked Lots of amazing facilities like a bar, swimming pool, shop which is well stocked, playground for the kids and it’s in a great location. There were portaloos available for the overflow field.

Disliked The portaloos had no water for washing hands and were often out of toilet roll. The toilet blocks also ran out of paper a lot even though I know the site team did drive around in the mornings to refill. I wonder whether a spare needs leaving in each cubicle?

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your kind comments, Lisa. We’re delighted you enjoyed the facilities, location and the welcome from our team. The overflow field is only used at the busiest times of year, with portaloos provided as an extra facility alongside the main toilet and shower blocks. Our staff check and restock toilet paper regularly, but your suggestion about leaving a spare in each cubicle is very helpful and we’ll look into it for next year. We look forward to welcoming you back again.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch (overflow)

Liked Staff happy to accommodate a pitch request. The site is in an amazing location, so be prepared for it to be very busy. Everything you need is on the site, a great place to keep everyone entertained.

Disliked I didn’t realise it was such a large field with so many pitches. It’s great for those looking for a bustling holiday but we prefer quiet. Luckily they were very happy to let us pitch up away from all the fun. Also as so many people it was hard for the cleaning team to keep on top of the showers and toilets.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We’re glad the team were able to accommodate your pitch request and that you enjoyed the location and facilities. Bank Holiday is our busiest time of year, which does make the park feel lively, but we’re pleased you were able to find a quieter spot to enjoy your stay.

Local attractions

Leave the car behind: buses running between Scarborough and Bridlington pick up from the end of the Crows Nest Caravan Park drive and discount day tickets are available to keep more money for seaside rock. The kids will probably clamour first for Scarborough: there are the North Bay and South Bay beaches to bounce around as well as the traditional seaside fairground and donkey rides. But Scarborough’s also a hotspot for culture vultures, with the Scarborough Open Air Theatre, Scarborough Art Gallery and Rotunda Museum alongside regular festivals and events throughout the year. Fab Filey is even closer: this Edwardian town has a five-mile stretch of sand and is backed by the peninsula and cliffs of Filey Brigg – this is the place to birdwatch and wildlife spot, with rockpools along the beach and many species of birds and beasts to see all year round. The 110-mile Cleveland Way starts here for hiking your way around Yorkshire’s history and heritage: Scarborough Castle, Whitby Abbey and Dracula tales, Mount Grace Priory and Rievaulx Abbey are all along the route. Away from the seaside and vampires, puff between Whitby and Pickering on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, veer between villages in the North York Moors National Park or get citified around York and Hull, all within easy driving distance of Crows Nest.
