Owners are very helpful. The site is very clean and the toilet / washing facilities are immaculate, although only two men's showers for a large site could be a problem when it's busy.
The lower field is very flat but the upper field, nearest the facilities, is very long and thin. It was a medieval strip-farming site and down the whole length of the field there are large 'furrows' which are about 8 feet across. This means that if you've a medium size tent you will end up straddling a ridge and a trough, which is less than ideal.
Just outside the camp is a Bistro restaurant which sells wonderful food. It's dearer than the pubs but the food is excellent and well worth visiting as a treat - we liked it so much we went 3 times!
The site is ideally situated for visiting coastal villages and also the N. Yorks moors. One quibble would be that charging 10p for hot water to wash dishes seems to be taking the mickey. Another would be that £6.50 per person per night is rather steep for a site with no real facilities.
Yes, the toilet block is very clean but loses marks for only having two showers. The hot water for washing and the toilets are 'free' but most things are 20p [10p to wash dishes, £2 for the washing machine, etc]. Use of the fridge and microwave is free, which is helpful. Over a week, it all adds up - especially when the site fees are £6.50 pppn

This is one of the best sites I've visited. The owners are very friendly and helpful.
The location is approximately 8 miles from Whitby and in a central village location which means you can easily walk to local pubs and shops. It's also a short walk to Runswick Bay (steep walk back up the hill) which is a lovely beech. Runswick bay is also where you can access the Cleveland way footpath. Staiths is a short car journey which again is a lovely beach and a pretty village.
There are 2 tent fields which are both well sheltered and with short grass. The one nearer the facilities has a slight slope and undulates which would be fine for smaller footprints whilst the one further away is flatter which was better for our Andorra, in fact it was the flattest pitch we've ever had :)
The facilities are spotless and as with all sites if you pick your time right you don't have to queue for the showers. There are 2 showers, 3 toilets and washing facilities. The showers are on a 20p meter and the hot water for washing up is on a 10p meter. The washing up area is fantastic, there is a fridge freezer, microwave, washing machine, tumble & spin dryer, iron and food preparation area and again it's spotless.
What made this site for us was the quietness due to it's location but mainly due to the lack of children. We will be definitely be returning here again.

Pat and Nigel couldn't have been more helpful, nothing was too much for them. I even left a for sale sign on my FC and they were directing people to it. I also spent a night away from the site and they looked after the FC. I had a little bit of trouble with a person down in Runswick Bay and again Pat and Nigel were really helpful.
As already said the amenities are really well looked after and spotlessly clean. The area is absolutely beautiful with easy access to all the local villages/towns You can walk/cycle/drive/take public transport in any direction you want and you will find something to do.
There is a pub right outside the gate that serves food turn right and there is a chippy and another pub. If you like fish and chips you must go to Whitby for the best in England IMHO

It is miles (I mean 300yds at least), to the facilities when, like us, you are pitched in the last field. However, my wife and I never expect everything to be perfect and the fact that this was a wonderful site made up for the distance to the loos. The owners are lovely and friendly and the toilets and showers are immaculate. It is in the village and close to the two pubs.
Although a fairly large site, each field is partitioned by trees and therefore quite quiet and private. We were struggling with pitching our Monty-6 for the first time and a very kind camper came to our aid. However, on the Saturday of our weekend stay a young couple spent 5 hours trying to erect their tent with the help of virtually everyone in the site but had to give up at 9.30pm. It was borrowed and they didn't even know whether it was a dome, ridge or high-rise tent :(. Although had to give up, they came back with a new tent the next morning and hed it pitched in 30mins. That's admirable!:)
There is a tent field close to the facilities which have hook-up facilities and next time we would choose that. There definitely will be a next time. A beautiful site 20 minutes from Whitby, 5 mins from Runswick Bay and 10 mins from Staithes! Very Highly recommended but families are not encouraged and hence no play areas but also little noise for us aging old adults.

Hi we have just come back from a short break at this site & my advice to anyone who is thinking of going is GO GO GO. What you read on the website is what you get. The site is excellent , plenty of room, good facilities, no hassle at all. Hinderwell village is quite quiet allthough the 2 pubs are worth a visit, we had 2 meals in the badgers & they were excellent value for money (fresh food no microwaves here) most main meals come in at around £7.00, apparently a new owner has recently taken over & as long as they keep things as they are now I would recommend this pub to all both old & young. Whitby is only 15 mins drive away & there is ample buses if that's your mode of transport.

We joined friends to stay for just one Saturday night. We found the facilities to be clean and the owners to be very friendly. The pitch for our tent was more or less flat and free from rocks and stones. The two local pubs were fine - had a steak in the Brown Cow which was nice. The real winning aspect of this campsite is the mostly adults policy. This meant I wasn't woken at 7AM by screaming children and could have a lie in till about 9ish. Also there was nobody keeping us awake all night partying. If you have young children this site isn't for people like you - it's for people like me! Will definitely go back.
