St Helens Caravan Park

View prices & book Last booked one day ago 9.6 49 reviews

Well-equipped family-friendly site a 15-minute drive from Scarborough
Fishing lakes five minutes’ drive; North York Moors 20 minutes
Cycle hire; play area; launderette; licensed shop; dog-washing station

Don’t let the name mislead you: there is more to St Helens Caravan Park than… well, caravan pitches. Indeed, with several accommodation options, this site is definitely a contender for your next North Yorkshire family holiday. And if you’re looking for a romantic break, there’s also an adults-only area where you will be undisturbed by… er, over-enthusiastic children. (There’s also enforced quiet time after 10pm.) St Helens sits in the Vale of Pickering, between the Beedale Beck river and the A170, which takes you straight to Scarborough in about 15 minutes (by car). It’s a great location – of that, there’s little doubt. Are you into fishing? There’s top-class angling in the four freshwater lakes that make up the North Yorkshire Water Park Fisheries (five minutes’ drive). Maybe you prefer hiking? Besides easy woodland walks in the vicinity, you’re at the southern tip of North York Moors National Park here (20 minutes) and not far from Howardian Hills National Landscape (45 minutes). And if you fancy a day at the seaside, sandy Scarborough Beach (15 minutes) is a fine spot for a swim or an ice cream as you watch the tide come in. Back at the site after a day with the kids, no one would blame you for wanting some time to yourself, so leave the children to make new friends in the playground and take the dog for a nice walk. Muddy tracks? No problem: with a dog-washing station on site, your four-legged companion will look even fluffier and more handsome than when you first arrived. Other facilities on site include a café and a licensed shop, family-friendly bathrooms, a launderette and cycle hire.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (adults only, medium)

Liked Stayed here for a week, communication with the site was great,staff on arrival and through out were extremely helpful. Had an all serviced pitch which was very good and generous size. Layout of site was perfect and facilities were immaculate, kept clean all the time. Lovely cafe on site also shop with good range of essentials. Very centrally situated for ease of getting to places and the convenience of a bus stop outside campsite entrance. Would definitely visit the site again and would recommend to others.

Danby camping pod (hot tub, three person)

Liked We stayed in the glamping pod with hot tub, ideal for us. Daughter loved the park. Lovely walks for the dog around the site. Excellent facilities, welcoming reception, shop, cafe, all were great - had pizzas one night and breakfast both mornings - lovely food and service. Quiet in the evenings which suited us too.

Disliked Nothing - already booked again!

Danby camping pod (hot tub, three person)

Liked Beautiful site so peaceful, friendly staff when checked in

Disliked The lodge was lovely but needs freshened up the floor was lifting and a lot of damp I assume off the hot tub the bed was super uncomfortable but that’s a personal preference, it just needs freshened up as if some one had kids with them the floor lifting could be a huge trip hazard

I didn’t like that in the email it states basic kitchen but it’s a toaster and microwave we had to go and buy something to cook on as I have done many other trips lodges and when it states basic cooking it’s usually is a small hob and a microwave this needs to be more clear what’s actually in the lodge as there’s no pictures of this

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback, we will take it on board. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

All in all couldn't fault it and we will definitely be back.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (adults only, medium)

Liked The site was brilliant, staff were very helpful and friendly. The pitch was a great, fully serviced and adult only area, which was perfect for us. Great dog walk and exercise area for our two energetic pooches. Toilet/showers were spotless. The site was well kept. We managed to have brunch from the café on site and it was delicious.

Local attractions

At North Yorkshire Water Park (10 minutes’ drive or a 15-minute bike ride) the entire family can make a bit of a splash, either on the inflatable obstacle course or having a go at wakeboarding. There’s also paddleboarding, kayaking and open-water swimming, plus (for those who prefer solid earth to water) climbing and axe throwing. Scrambling up the headland that is home to Scarborough Castle gives you the chance to admire the town’s two beaches from up high: South Beach is lively and lined with shops and arcades, while North Beach tends to be less busy. At its northernmost end is the SEA LIFE Scarborough aquarium. Dotted with statues, follies and fountains, the gardens at Castle Howard (40 minutes) are quite spectacular. Swans and other birds inhabit the area around the lakes and waterways, and it is also possible to take a rowing boat for a trip around the Great Lake.
