  • Well-maintained Yorkshire campsite with clifftop views
  • Withernsea five minutes' drive; 20 minutes to Spurn Point
  • Heated shower block; secure site with CCTV
Set in an impressively peaceful spot just a short distance from the Yorkshire coast, Hollym Airfield Caravan and Camping is a laidback site in a scenic clifftop location. With spacious grass pitches and lots of fine views, this family-friendly site – where well-behaved dogs are also welcome to come and join you on your travels – is about a mile and a half from the local town of Withernsea and 40 minutes' drive from Hull. The nearest beach is roughly 10 minutes away on foot, and if you keep heading along the shore (when the tide is out) you'll soon reach the town centre (25 minutes from base), where you can access its handy shops, supermarkets, promenade and leisure centre. Hollym Airfield Caravan and Camping is a family-run business with well-maintained amenities, including a washing-up area, a water refill point, a grey water disposal point, CCTV for extra security and a heated toilet and shower block with disabled facilities. After a day of long exploring, you could light up a barbecue by your pitch, explore the various eateries on offer in Withernsea or tuck into a traditional fish and chips there or in other coastal spots such as Hornsea (35 minutes) or Bridlington (an hour).

Electric grass pitch

Liked: A lovely clean campsite, just a short walk from Withernsea and right near the beach. We stayed with a group of our friends and had a great weekend.

Disliked: There was only 1 shower for ladies and 1 shower for men which wasn’t idle but that’s the only fault.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Spacious pitch. Closely moan. Toilet/washing facilities immaculately clean.

Disliked: Concern over the very limited shower/ toilet facilities if the site was fully utilised. One male, one female, one disabled/ mixed use shower.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Loved the open space of the field, the option to pitch where we liked was great too! It was so relaxing to just sit and listen to the waves crash on the shore below the cliff. We have recommended to friends, and immediately booked again the same day we left! Our new favourite place.

Disliked: It was a tad windy right on the cliff when pitching up, but a few well secured tent pegs helped!
Only negative thing was no loo roll in the toilets. But that could have just been an oversight.

Lee B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Lovely situated campsite on the edge of the cliff with unrestricted views out to see. The camp site was clean and well maintained. The facilities also were very clean and well maintained. The beach is within walking distance if you don't mind a bit of a daunting walk down the embankment holding a rope - not disabled accessable. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area, if I need to camp around that area again I would definitely return. 10/10

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Perfectly kept campsite, very clean, modern facilities. Not the most quiet stay as the campsite is by the road. However it didn’t bother me and it was a pleasant stay. It was very windy as well. Very good signal

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Nice view very clean aswell.

Disliked: Nothing much around to do. Far too windy nightmare when putting a tent up.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I totally disagree with this review they tried putting a tent up and couldn’t it was a cheap rubbish tent. They couldn’t put it up and left I told them they could come back the next day to try but they didn’t bother. They didn’t stay with us so why do we get a low review when they didn’t stay No one else had any trouble putting there good quality tents up.

Would stay again but would check the wind forecast before booking.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Lovely site with beautiful views. Facilities were very clean and staff friendly. Very spacious pitch.

They have the option to purchase items while on site (Eggs, Charcoal, kits and planes with the option to hire a wind break & fire pit for the weekend

Disliked: It can get very windy, unfortunately we picked a weekend where the wind was in the 30kmh so made the decision to leave a day early just to protect our tent.

Local attractions

History and heritage abound around here: you're about five minutes' drive from such spots as RAF Holmpton bunker or Withernsea's well-maintained lighthouse museum, where you can learn about the area's mariners and airfarers of yesteryear. There are several more museums to explore in Hull (40 minutes), including Wilberforce House, where you can find out more about abolitionist and MP William Wilberforce, Kingston upon Hull's most celebrated son. Birdwatchers should pack some sturdy footwear, some binoculars and a thermos flask and head to Spurn Point (20 minutes), a spectacular nature reserve that extends for well over a mile into the North Sea. Seabirds also flock to Flamborough Head (an hour), just north of Bridlington, which is well worth visiting if you don't mind the drive. Brought kids who'll need to be kept entertained? Take them for a spin around the animal enclosures at Bugtopia Hornsea Zoo (35 minutes), or alternatively pack plenty of spare change and dispatch them to the arcades in Withernsea and Hornsea.
