Liked Thought place was great. Loved the singer
Disliked Toilets were clean but mayb add addition toilet checks throughout the day.
All in all a very clean site with good amenities and views
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite (overflow)
Liked Campsite was clean and very well maintained. Check in very efficient.
The space on the pitches are fab , you can spread out as much as you like. Depending on where you choose is how level your pitch is- we got given an area and had 2 big fields to choose from where to pitch.
The shop is well stocked and very affordable.
The on site chip shop was amazing, food was delicious.
Swimming pool was good too, refreshing in the current heat.
There was an act on through the day at the bar for entertainment.
Showers are free ( 3 in each male and female toilets (lower block)), with sockets for hairdryers etc, also a good amount of sinks.
Camp security also good , checking no one is being overly noisy after 11pm.
At the top of the site is access to a walk and the beach (small cove) , plenty of crabs to be found from teenie tiny to approx medium hand sized, not suitable for paddling in the sea due to rocks and seaweed - you would have to climb over them for a good 5 - 10 mins before you got to the water. Possibly a better place further round but we didn’t venture that far.
Views of fields or the sea depending on where your pitched.
Disliked Hand dryer was very poor in the lower block, it was quicker to blow on your own hands and the cleanliness of toilet floor wasn’t always great, nothing major , just wet floor and toilet paper.

Liked 5 Stars – A Perfect Getaway!
We recently stayed at the campsite in the holiday park and had an absolutely wonderful experience! The site was clean, spacious, and beautifully maintained.
The park itself is fantastic – modern shower and toilet facilities, always spotless, and never too crowded. We especially appreciated the family-friendly atmosphere. The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. There was so much to do onsite and nearby – from the kids' playground, scenic seaside views to the indoor pool and evening entertainment. It’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into making the site enjoyable for all ages.
We left feeling relaxed and recharged. Highly recommended for families, couples, or anyone looking to enjoy the sea view. We’ll definitely be back!
Very nice peaceful spot. Would have liked being close to facilities
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite (overflow)
Liked The lovely atmosphere! It is nice but not as good in overfill part
Disliked I booked more so to be near toilets and washing area but was very very far in overspill area which is the same price £60 for two nights. The view on the original pitch is amazing but unfortunately that was quite a big walk with a toddler. I didn’t know we were in the overspill till booked.
Will stay here again

Liked Could park where you liked
Disliked Nothing
Great location, unfortunately too busy & noisy for us
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked - quick & easy arrival
- great location, 6mile walk to Scarborough on cliff top, 1mile walk to Clayton Bay quieter beach with paddle-board and surfboard hire
- lots of facilities for families (swimming pool, fish & chips, pub)
- well stocked shop
- plenty of toilet/shower/sink cubicles, never had to wait
Disliked - toilet & shower cleanliness was hit & miss
- very busy site, arrived at 7pm Friday and not much space left (definitely not on cliff top that the pictures drew us to book for!)
- seemed to not be a curfew for noise … large groups noisy until after midnight

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite (overflow)
Liked We booked overflow thinking it must be busy. I'll happily book the overflow again due to the space offered.
Reception were clear and helpful.
Yes the toilets are a walk, but manageable!
Lots of space for my little one to play football. Park was also good.
Cant comment on chip shop or pool, maybe next time.
Disliked You can't control where people camp unfortunately. In the field we were in, everyone was pitchef along on the edge with so much space available in between and at the end of the field. We returned one day to see that someone had pitched up right outside our tent...not one other tent was pitched this way and so felt quite intrusive.
Whilst radios can be played up until 11, they played their music with such heavy bass too loud for how close they were before this, causing my little one some difficulty getting to sleep.
Once he was asleep we were sat outside, and the lady walked around our car and through the bushes behind our tent to use for a wee. I asked her not to do that again.
I can't see why they pitched so close given they wanted to act like this, and given what they were doing in their car. Not so family friendly.
It's a really, really good place to camp
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Great location, toilets and showers immaculate. Bar and family areas excellent, lots to keeps kids entertained
Disliked Nothing
Don’t bother.
Upper area FHU gravel travel trailer campsite (super)
Liked Pitch was flat and a decent size
Disliked Go here if you don’t mind, chavs screaming kids and abuse. We were told that there was evening entertainment and when we went down, there was nothing on. Got screamed at however by a very drunk parent with her toddler trailing behind. We were on a hardstanding pitch but the field looked absolutely cramped with tents practically on top of each other. Right next to the toilet so everybody saw fit to cut right across our pitch to go to the toilet. Definitely won’t be returning.
From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you found the pitch to be flat and a good size.
We’re sorry to hear that aspects of your stay didn’t meet your expectations. For clarity, all guests are provided with our entertainment schedule and site information at check-in, including the opening times of our facilities. The entertainment did take place on Saturday afternoon as advertised, and was enjoyed by many of our guests. You can see a live video on our facebook page from Saturday afternoon.
As a family-friendly park, we do our best to provide a welcoming environment for everyone. We understand that guest behaviour can sometimes impact others’ experiences, and we do encourage visitors to speak with our team at the time so we can address any concerns immediately.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts.
