When we first arrived we were a bit put off because the tent opposite had got loads of visitors. The pitch we had was a little uneven and it was a bit noisy. After we had settled in it was fantastic, the owners we're so friendly and the views from the site are brilliant.
People on here have moaned about paying 20p for a shower, let me tell you the showers are worth every penny, hot and very powerful, another moan people had was 10p for dishwashing, come on 10p is nothing and you get a full sink of red hot water.
Just out of the site entrance there is a butchers, chip shop two pubs and a shop come post office. Within half a hours walk we were on Runswick Bay which is a beautiful little cove, half hours walk in the opposite direction and we were at Port Mulgrave, from here we walked along the cliff tops to the lovely little fishing village of Staithes, about 1 hour.
This site was so nice we had three days of rain and enjoyed every minute of it. The toilets and showers were always very clean with piped music.

Another return visit for us. A lovely quiet site, outstanding facilities, and in a great location. We were very unlucky on one of the nights that a very small group of people in one corner of the field were extremely loud until about 1am in the morning - and they really were of an age that should have known better considering the subjects of their conversation and how far their voices travelled, but other than that no problems - and we will return again.
I do understand the confusion regarding children or no children though. There were a handful of kids when we were there, and there were absolutely no problems as the children in our area were extremely well behaved and quiet, although I'm not sure how well behaved and quiet a 'terrible two's' might be, and we saw a couple of those during our stay. But I can also appreciate the fact that adult only sites in that particular area are few and far between, and Serenity isn't really geared up to kids, there are no play areas and its supposed to be a quiet site (Serenity) - so perhaps better just to bite the bullet and make it completely adults only perhaps - or as others suggest - split the fields up perhaps. Whichever way, we shall continue to visit as we really love this site and the surrounding areas.

Absolutely brilliant. As I first time camper I was very impressed with this site which is set is beautiful surroundings
Hot powerful showers. Toilets were very clean.
Its 20p to use the shower - 20p to use the electric socket in the changing area - ideal for using straighteners etc.
I was also impressed that there was a washer and dryer at the site. Think the waster was £2 to use and the dryer was 50p.
Cant think of any negative points with this site.
Excellent campsite!

A very friendly and peaceful site; just as its name suggests. We stayed for a long weekend in mid August. The owners are very pleasant and helpful.
The site is in an excellent location for exploring the best that North Yorkshire can offer – and for venturing further North into Cleveland (Saltburn-by-the-Sea is only a short drive away, and worth a look).
Very close to three 'must sees' if you’ve never been around here before: Whitby (need I say more), Runswick Bay and Staithes – the later two being beautiful fishing villages.
I will not repeat what others have stated about the site, its facilities or the local village of Hinderwell’s amenities as they were all excellent and I want to keep this brief.
A top notch site for a nice peaceful stay in an ideal location. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and would definitely consider returning again if I’m up this neck of the woods.

Very nice site, definitely not flat, (eventually found a flattish pitch) would recommend the far field for a flat pitch, just a 300yd walk back to the showers / toilets etc.
Only 2 complaints, 20p for a 3min shower, I put 20p in the slot, by the time I had undressed and got temp right the shower went off leaving me covered in shower gel / freezing and no more 20p,s on me! other complaint is the 10p for washing up, by the time the cold water got hot the water ran out? leaving half a sink of cold water to wash pots!
I would rather pay more per night and have unlimited hot water, showers etc spotless, owner very cheerful, always busy. 2 nice pubs in village and a decent chippy.
Good site let down by the hot water issues.

Went over Bank Holiday weekend for 3 nights. The site was fully booked so we had pre booked a month before and got one of last pitches. Apparently they could have booked it many times over with the calls they got in the days before. (hint to pre-book for bank holidays!)
There was a field for caravans and 2 for tents after the reception area. Limited ehu for tents but we managed without for this break but would usually prefer the option. We were in the far field which was really flat and the pitches were in good condition. The field was full but quite peaceful- as the name serenity suggests- there was little noise with predominantly adults. There were children as well but not many as the owners prefer adults which is fair enough as you would be unlikely to book if you were expecting a play area and goal posts, this is not what this site is about. The atmosphere was relaxed.
The owners are friendly and almost always on hand, their house was nearby at the entrance. The site in general is clean, well laid out, planted areas are bright, there is a dovecote (with doves) near the reception.
The showers were stretched in the morning due to the number of campers but if you went out of the morning rush there was no problem and for 20p the showers were hot and lasted long enough for a decent shower. There were 2 showers and 3 toilets for men and the same for women.
The washing up facilities are opposite the toilet block and have 3 sinks, a washing machine, dryer and fridge freezer. Again slightly stretched for the Bank Holiday but as we were on holiday and in no great rush this was no problem.
Some good walks right from the site took you to Staithes and Runswick Bay and through woods and along the cliffs on the Cleveland Way. Great! These places had some decent pubs and fantastic views and in my opinion define this area, a gem on the East Coast.
Hinderwell itself has 2 pubs, The Badger Hounds and The Brown Cow. The Brown Cow was more dog friendly which was important for us and the meals were well priced and owners welcoming. We could not find room in the other pub so cannot comment on this pub. The Bistro called Salutz was good, nice food and modern but more expensive and booking was essential if a weekend. Also there is a fish shop, small post office and general store and a butchers.
Buses run to Whitby about 9 miles away every hour or so.
We would return and will keep this as one of our favoured holiday destinations.
