Reviewer: Ged Judd 3 reviews from this member

 Just returned from a 3 night stay with our family of 4No, children age 7 and 10 and have read some of the reviews.

We arrived on Saturday and stayed until Tuesday. The checking in was swift and efficient, but also friendly. Thankfully having stayed on until the Tuesday it completely changed our opinion of this site.

I would agree that that from Saturday to Monday the site was fit to burst and the facilities only just held out. Nevertheless the toilet facilities were always clean.

In the cold light of day we need to remember that these bank holidays are hay days for these campsites and the revenue helps put in place the facilities that are available all year round.

In our opinion, after the bank holiday rush the facilities were more than adequate. The showers were hot and the washing-up water was hot, there were not the queues for toilets and showers.

The tent pitches are mostly level and after the bank holiday Monday their was plenty of space for ball games around the tents.

The toilet facilities are a little to far from the tent field unless you're pitched around the access island.

Our youngest spent hours at the playground and enjoyed every minute. However, it's not really suitable for 10+ year olds.

The little things that would make things easier would be clothes hooks, for use when washing and a small hand sink for use after using the toilet. Although it was nice to see free soap for hand washing was always available.

The more difficult things would be, more electric hook ups in the area to the right as you enter the tent field from the right (on both sides of the tree area).

Whilst their we visited Scarborough, Filey and Robin Hoods Bay.

Robin Hoods Bay is on the coast road to Whitby (A171?) it's about 20 miles, but the scenery is so fantastic on route it didn't seem to take the 40 minutes that it did. A little tip, if there are already cars parked on the grass verge as you approach, follow suit, it generally means the pay and display car parks are already full and it's only about an extra 5 minutes walk.

If you're only having Fish & Chips once whilst you're away, save it for Marillons (I think) (up the ally at the jetty)at Robin Hoods Bay, don't worry about the que, they're definitely worth the wait.

All in all, it's obvious to see from the flower planters around this site that the management have a high regard for their business. We would definitely mark this down as a revisit. But maybe not over a bank holiday.

 Just returned from a 3 night Bank Holiday stay at Cayton Village (our second visit) and had a brilliant time

The park was once again imaculate, the staff very friendly and helpful

Although it was fully booked there was plenty of space for everybody and the toilets were spotless whatever time of day you visited

The only slight negative was the showers were only warm but giving the use they were getting it was hardly surprising

The site shop sells the basics but a short walk through the site (5 mins) leads into Cayton Village where there are 3 pubs a chipshop and a convenience store which sells everything you need

The playground on site was a big hit with our kids they spent loads of time there

Would recomend this site to anyone of any age and will definitely be going back

Reviewer: Vickster78 1 review from this member

 I have just returned from a last minute break at Cayton Village Caravan Park. After studying the weather forecasts last week, we decided to camp 'up north' for the Bank Holiday weekend, and after phoning round over 20 sites in the area, I was lucky enough to get a cancellation at Cayton Village. We were only planning on going Saturday & Sunday night, but the cancellation was for Friday night too, so we ended up paying for that too, and at least it meant we could pitch early on Saturday morning. We paid £87 for 3 nights, 4 adults, 2 cars and electric hookup.

The staff on arrival were very friendly and helpful, directing us to the are where our pitch was. Here we were met by another member of staff who pointed out the pitch, electric hook up facilities and told us what other facilities were in the area.

It was the first time camping in my new Gelert Alaska tent, and I have to say the size of the pitch was just about adequate, although being a busy time of year, the surrounding pitches were occupoied and we were very close to the nearest tents - just the width of my car and about half a metre between us.

We were situated in a small field (Horseshoe field I think) which was also used as an access route to the dog walking area, so there were always people walking past.

We had electric hook up available, however we didn't use this (just it was only pitch available).

Toilet & shower blocks were a 2 minute walk away. They were clean whenever I used them, although I have to agree with previous comments about children being unaccompanied - they seemed to be running free inside and outside the toilet blocks at all times of the day. The showers were clean, but sometimes got very busy, and when I used them early evening, the water was not hot, more lukewarm. One hairdryer was available at 20p for a few minutes.

There was also a washing up area in the block, with about 6 sinks, however it was very busy and again the water was only lukewarm.

The shop is quite small, but ok if you need anything urgently, otherwise I'd go to Morrisons which is more reasonably priced and about 10-15minutes away. They do sell camping equipment etc in the shop, but it looked quite expensive - I guess you pay extra for the convenience.

The barrier is closed from 11pm to 8am - we came back about 11.30 one night and left the car in the car park by reception, and collected it next morning. At least this means you don't get people driving round at all hours waking you up!

The website states it's a ten minute walk to the beach - it took us about 25-30mins on a windy day, and it is a steep hill down to the beach.So be prepared! Beach seems nice enough, there's a little beach hut half way down selling a few refreshments, buckets & spades etc, but that's all we saw.

Nearby, the Blacksmiths Arms was a nice little pub - we went on on Saturday and it seems there are new owners so they were just sorting out a new menu. We had a really nice meal, and were told they were starting a carvery on Sundays.

We also went to The Tow Bar, which is along the route to the beach. There was an adult comedian playing, who was very funny.

In my opinion, the site is probably more suited to families with children (we were 2 couples).

My only critisism would be the lack of hot water - it was there at times, but not constant.

All in all, I wouldn't discount visiting this site again, but probably wouldn't go at such a peak time.

 Visited this site with my husband and our dog.

All staff were very helpful and friendly and the site is very clean and tidy.

The dog walk was very good and very clean.

There a 3 Toilet/shower blocks, but can only comment on the one nearest to the camping field.

It had a pin entry system and a rule that no children were allowed unsupervised in the toilet / shower block. ! maybe if the pin entry pad had been a couple of feet higher! It was over run with kids all afternoon and night (which made it very untidy and muddy!)

There were 4 showers and about 10 toilets (the camping field at the time we were there had 200 + tents on it!) so you had to be up pretty earlier to not have to queue!

It says on the web page a 10 min walk to the beach! allow 3/4 hour! unless your a fast walker. And access to the beach is not for the unfit, quite steep!

Not sure if we would visit this site again only because it was a bit too busy for us, we like to relax when camping and enjoy the quiet!

Reviewer: Louisa Westmorland 2 reviews from this member

 Fantastic site!

Very very clean and tidy. Great childrens play area (more suited to 6+). Toilets and shower blocks are 5*. Cleaned at least 3 times a day - we never had a problem or concern with using them.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Shop located on-site for food and camping supplies.

Located close to Scarborough and other coastal towns so very easy to go places.

We went down into the bay and took my daughter on a buggy board with a wetsuit hired from the surf shop - great!

Your pitch has ample room, with many of them having electric hook-ups.

There are seperate bins for your cooking/rubbish waste so the site can collect them for recycling at the end of the day.

A very highly recommended camp-site for anyone up the east coast!

Reviewer: Buzzahole 13 reviews from this member

 Cayton Village was very quiet and relaxing at this time of year. Some of the park was out of bounds due to the time of year but had no bearing on enjoying the park. The staff were very helpful although I couldn't book until a week before as I only wanted two nights and not the conventional three and when we got there they weren't exactly sold out!

The playground was good for the children although given it was so cold they didn't go over that much. The dog walk was adequate but as we were out of season we could take advantage of the whole of the camping field which was huge.

The toilet block was very clean (cleaned three times a day apparently) and the shop was stocked with essentials but do to the time of year (and understandably) was only open 8 - 10am you then have to find the wardens.

In all a good site and we enjoyed our stay. A point to note though, we were out of season and the pitches were small and close together

Reviewer: Col.S 4 reviews from this member

 Spent four days at this site in Sept. First camping trip for 30 years (second childhood I guess). Anyway we found the site good. All facilities clean and tidy. However there was this noise at night all night, loud humming sound, when we asked one of the regulars in a caravan they said it was the McCain chip factory up the road.

After a couple of days you get used to it. The only other problem we found was the dog walk. Loads of POO everywhere, not many people seemed to clean up and not enough signs on dog walk, other problem was gangs of unruly dogs up to six in number owned by 'regulars' some dogs and owners quite aggressive. Never mind worth a visit I guess. Cayton bay itself is great, but watch the walk down to the beach remember you have to come back the same way.Very steep hill.

Reviewer: Suzieparsons 1 review from this member

 My husband and I with our two dogs have just returned from this lovely well kept campsite. We love coming to Scarborough and this camping experience has made the visit here even better.

The surrounding areas are beautiful. Whitby, Bridlington, Robin Hoods bay, Filey and Goathland (where they film Heartbeat) are to name but a few.

You may even see them filiming 'The Royal' or 'Heartbeat' if you're lucky.

There are quite a few pubs that serve great food. Blacksmiths arms and there isone at the top of Osgoodby lane (which I cant remember the name of).

There are quite a few supermarkets within easy reach and local shops.

The staff are so friendly that it felt as though we had known them for a long time and that they were life long friends rather than people who ran the campsite. We thought that it was a lovely touch that they showed you to where the pitch was for your tent.

The site was superb the grass was cut regularly even when wet, there wasn't any mess from, humans or dogs.

The toilets and shower blocks were not too far away from any of the pitches and they were extremely clean and regularly re-stocked with toilet paper etc.

We really cant rate this site enough as we found no faults what soever.

We will definitely be going back for another enjoyable time there and we will be recommending it to our other camping friends. Thank you Cayton Village caravan park.

 We have just come back from our first trip to this site, and we are certainly going back. We arrived way too early, but the fab friendly staff allowed us to leave our caravan on the camping field till 12oclock.
When we got back, they towed it for us and sited it on our pitch.
 
Loads of room, near to the play area for the kids, lovely dog walk which was only spoiled by ignorant people not cleaning up after their dogs.
Showers and toilets cleaned regular, with mops and cloths to wipe up after yourself. I've never been to a site where they empty the bins as much as they do here, the staff take pride in the site.
 
All the staff were friendly and helpful and the site is lovely and quiet on a night, with the barriers locking at 11pm till 8am.
 
Local chippy was nice, but grumpy staff and expensive prices meant we only went once.
 
We are planning a return trip to Cayton village soon, can't wait.

 Just returned, unfortunately, from this excellent site. Very good location for coast or moors, spoilt for choice. Very clean site with good facilities. Stayed on a super pitch with good amount of room. Some of the normal pitches seemed a little bit close together. Excellent dog walk, only spoilt by inconsiderate owners who find it beneath themselves to clear up afterwards.
Found some lovely village pubs if your willing to adventure a bit onto the back roads, lovely scenery as well while your driving. Best food if you go to Bridlington, is to drive back out towards Flamborough  and just before Danes Dyke  you have the Martonian just off the main road to the left. Excellent food,  lots of it , and very reasonable price too.
Overall would have no reservations about returning to this site, excellent site, excellent location, excellent holiday.

 We stayed here for 2 nights with our children.  Reception staff were friendly and kindly took us to our allocated pitch.  Also reasonably priced.  All amenities were explained.  Our pitch was close to playground for the children.  The site has 3 shower/toilet blocks which were satisfactory.  The only negative with the shower blocks was the cleaning floor mops they provided for you to use after showering were too dirty to clean with.  All pitches are within small secluded areas which was very nice.  There is a small shop on site selling all necessities.  A short, pleasant walking distance away is a pub, shop, post office.  A short drive away is a major supermarket and a beach.  A very nice site.  Would recommend it.

 The staff at this park where A1 we were meet upon arrival and shown to our pitch and then asked if we needed any help, our electric hook-up then stopped working and on of the lads helped repair it. We were give a sheet of paper with directions to the beach,morrissons and scarborough which I found very helpful.
The park itself is quite large but we did feel a little squashed in and only a children's park for the kids to play in no field for footie with 5 boys that was a problem. The toilet shower block looked fairly new and was clean most of the time although it was closed for 3 hours for cleaning and we had to use one of the other blocks (i think there was 3). Plenty of loos but only 4 showers but I only queued once.
Beach is about 20 mins walk away and there is a nice beach in scarborough (like a mini blackpool but nicer) about 20mins drive beware there is fairground rides there and they are not cheap. I'ld give this site 8 out of 10 and would return if I was in the area.

 Just enjoyed a relaxing long weekend at Cayton Village.  The campsite was superb and all the staff were very polite and helpful.
 
Even though the site was busy, there was a relaxed atmosphere, and noise was kept to a minimum after 11pm.  The site is well maintained and the toilets are clean.
 
The site is ideally situated close to Scarborough and it is a pleasant drive up to Robin Hoods Bay and Whitby.  We also had a trip to Goathland, which I am assured is in Heartbeat country!
 
The local beach at Cayton Bay is very pleasant, with rock pools for the kids (and adults) to enjoy.  We managed to find some crabs, which amused the younger ones!
 
We tried the local chip shop and the food was very nice, although don't expect service with smile.
 
We also tried the local pubs for food, but the lack of vegetarian choices meant that we had to travel further afield in order to find something for us all to eat.
 
All-in-all a quality camp site and one that we will definitely return to.

 Just returned from a week at the Cayton Village Holiday Park and thought we should let everyone know what a great site it is. We booked via this website using the contact button and communication was great from the start. We requested 2 pitches together, which they said they could not guarantee but would process the bookings together on receipt of deposit and do their best. They kept their word and when we arrived were allocated pitches 006 and 007 just round the corner from the reception in a lovely grassy area opposite some of the supersites.

The pitches were of a good size, we have a large tent but had plenty of space between ours and our friend’s trailer tent and our car was parked along side the pitch too. Staff were very friendly and helpful every time we had any contact either at the reception or with the staff walking around the site. The site itself although quite busy always felt quiet and there was never any rowdiness at any time of the day or night. Although on the Saturday before we left, we walked round the tent field and it had got very busy and we did ask a newly arrived neighbour to turn his TV down at 11.30 PM.

Toilet blocks were clean and in good order and never over busy, only once in the week did I have to wait for a cubicle. Although I believe the ladies were a tad busier.

The shop was a little disappointing did not stock much, no eggs? And no skimmed milk, but there is a shop in the village and Morrison’s is only 10 minutes away. In the village there are two pubs, although we only used the Blacksmiths Arms which was very good, staff were friendly, food was great and we were treated like locals. There is also a Chinese and a chippy though we did not use either.

The kids loved the play area and the dog enjoyed running round the dog field.

The site is ideally located for the attractions, Cayton beach is superb but it’s a heck of a climb back up! We did Scarborough, Filey, Whitby and Robin Hood’s Bay. The Peasholm Park Naval Battle is a bit of a rip off at just under a tenner for 2 adults and 2 kids. Yorkshires beaches are lovely these days (Scarborough south shore excepted)!

Overall we had a fantastic week on a lovely, clean and friendly site and would recommend it to all. We will definitely be back.
