Van de manager: Thanks for the feedback Louise - much appreciated.

Ik was blij met: Great campsite in a perfect location. Walking distance from lovely pubs and very accessible into Scarborough. It is basic as it says on the listing but we had an ideal pitch, it was quiet and we were easily able to use the showers at the rugby club a 5 minute walk away.

John was very helpful and definitely went above and beyond for us!

Van de manager: Thanks for the feedback Carys … happy to be of service 😁. Hope to see you back again.

Ik was blij met: It’s a flat field. No mess just call them on arrival and they let you in. No frills just simple park up,sleep then leave.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Needs to be a touch cheaper and better sign from road.

Van de manager: Thanks for your feedback Ian.

Ik was blij met: This is a great space not far from the main area of Scarborough. The views around the site are stunning and there is plenty of space within each pitch to set up a large table and sit out to watch the sun set.
The owner is a great guy who took an interest in ensuring all was to my expectations. It's great value, I'd recommend it highly.

Van de manager: Many thanks for your review Ed - much appreciated.

Ik was blij met: The campsite has amazing views and the host is really lovely! He gave us recommendations and was always there if we needed a hand. He also rents out fire pits for £5. The pitches are individual so you have your own space. We stayed for 2 nights and used the showers and cafe at the rugby club which was great too.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Nothing, everything was great!

Ik was blij met: Simple basic site with a friendly and amiable host

Ik was niet zo blij met: All good if you remember it is a basic site with portaloo and no showers.

Van de manager: Thanks for the feedback Tom ... and thanks for reading the site description before booking so you knew what to expect :).
Hope you had a good time in Scarborough.

Ik was blij met: The man who greeted us was friendly.
The field was clean with short grass.
The portaloo was clean.
It is taxi distance from the Open Air Theatre.

Ik was niet zo blij met: I don't enjoy being critical but I want to be honest so other campers know what they are booking.
This isn't yet a proper campsite - it's just a field with a portaloo and tap. No showers or anything else (although there is work being done to set up a washing up area). The traffic noise is quite noticeable- its on a road into Scarborough.
It was thus too expensive for what it was, but handy for the gig we went to.

Van de manager: Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback Samantha. As clearly stated on Pitchup.com and the welcome email, the site is just a field with basic facilities. Location, Location, Location is the premium for being close to the Open Air Theatre - but I agree the traffic noise can be annoying during rush hour. Luckily, most people are out enjoying the sights of Scarborough or the vibes from the Open Air Theatre during most busy times, and so the road is usually quiet during sleeping hours. Showers are availble at the rugby club (200m away) for £1 (as also stated on Pitchup.com and the welcome email).

All potential customers - please read the information on pitchup carefully. If you're looking for a short stay, basic site, close to Scarborough and the Open Air Theatre - then we might hit what you're looking for. If you're more of the 'glamping type' and like swanky shower blocks, laundry rooms, EHU etc .... then stay well clear! :)

Thanks, John

Van de manager: Many thanks Emily - much appreciated.

Ik was blij met: The site is splendid and have visited a few times now and shall keep returning. The pitches are great and you have your own space without the worry of someone pitching up next to you. It’s quiet and a well managed and looked after site by John who is very approachable and makes sure you’re ok and should you need anything he’s on hand.
Overall a fantastic site which I hope doesn’t change too much and get commercialised.
