Another fantastic holiday. Love this campsite. Friendly people, so well maintained. Lovely fairy garden for light lunches, cake and great breakfast cobs. Thank you for another lovely holiday. We've made so many friends here as so many people return every summer. Can't wait to return next summer if not before.
Excellent run site. Very Family orientated. Close to the beach. Very clean toilets/shower block. Play area for kids and a cute fairy garden cafe. Excellent value for money and takeaways deliver to site
We stayed at Centenary Way for 7 nights (Saturday to Saturday) in August with our two kids (5 and 2) and had a really fab time. It is a bigger site than we usually use but I have to say, the kids absolutely loved it and it is a lovely, well maintained site. Overall we did like Centenary Way, but for me there are also a few big negatives.
On a positive, the site is really well located for walking to the beautiful beach (10mins) and Filey town (15mins). Nice off road footpath all the way. No car required! This was the main reason we chose the site.
The on-site Fairy Garden cafe is great too, quirky and nice to pop in for a lazy breakfast - good bacon sandwiches and coffee.
Filey itself is slightly limited for eating out, but Inghams is fab for fish and chips, Bramwell's tea room for lovely cake and we had a nice Italian meal at San Marco. There is also a nice farm shop/ cafe out on the road towards Scarborough (Redcliffe farm shop).
The kids totally loved the on site play ground; it's quite 'retro' with an old school metal roundabout and climbing frame, a little wooden house with a slide and some swings but these really fired the kids imagination and they loved them. They were happy to play there all day and as they were in clear sight of our tent it was perfect for them - and us!
However, mid week some older kids (aged about 10+) turned up and unfortunately a few of them picked out my daughter to constantly taunt and intimidate (taking her cap, calling her names, generally being unkind). It's what kids do, I guess, but they were old enough to know better than to taunt a 5year old for fun, it was bordering on bullying by the end and I had to step in and tell them off - disappointing to see, but that is life.
There was also lots of rubbish left in the playground as the kids seemed not to understand (or care!) about littering. To be fair there is no bin, although the main bin area was only at the back of the playground, so really no excuses.
Elsewhere the site is generally clean and pleasant, it is broken up into different areas; the main area from the entrance is for caravans and awnings, then there is a hard standing area for tents who prefer to pitch on an all weather surface. Then at the bottom of the site there are two fields with grass pitches. We had requested a grass pitch (no EHU) and had a nice spot at the bottom of the site beyond the playground, perfect for us as we couldn't see all the big caravans. It feels less like a large style caravan park down there, which is good as we do not generally like big commercial caravan sites. Pitches were a good size, flat, short grass and easy to peg into. Tents pitches in the field we were in were arranged round the edge of the field, so felt like lots of space. The owner obviously takes pride in keeping the grass mown and the site looking nice. We had nice natural hedges at the back of our pitch with blackberry bushes etc. There were hedgehogs living in the hedges and the kids loved seeing them.
The all weather pitches seemed more overlooked and some slightly hemmed in and completely surrounded by other units, not really to our taste.
But all good with our pitch. Until we had torrential rain for 24 hours on the Tuesday and basically the middle of field we were in flooded (big pools of standing water). A couple of tents were actually in the water but ours remained dry. We evacuated for a night in a hotel, as it was still raining and we were not sure how far the water would rise. Next day when we returned to our tent, the water had receded but the field remained sodden for the rest of the week and we were paddling through water to get anywhere. No fault of the management, at all, the weather was just exceptionally wet. My complaint though is that whilst the field flooded, no one actually came to see how we were or if we needed any help or to answer any questions about what they thought we should do. Management were nowhere to be seen. The guy whose tent was flooded found the man in charge but got no help, he was told it was not management's responsibility. I can sympathise with their situation, but it's not a friendly or helpful attitude. We saw the guy on Thursday morning when he inspected the field but he was more concerned about his loss of business with a sodden field than asking how we were.
There are no recycling facilities on site which is disappointing.
The toilets/ shower block was ok. There were 4 toilets and 2 showers in each the men's and ladies, this is not enough for the 80 pitches. Showers were 50p and you got plenty of time, they were hot but not very powerful and didn't always drain well. Also due to the wet weather the floors in the block were constantly dirty and were only cleaned once a day at 1pm. So every morning and evening they were very dirty again. Could have done with 2 cleans really, especially as the weather was so wet.
There was a laundry with washing machine and freezer for ice packs - although beware as one of our ice blocks was taken by someone else, despite it being quite distinctive. The pot wash area was covered with plenty of sinks and hot water. Overall ok facilities but could be better.
None of the negatives spoiled our holiday, even the flooding! Would we stay again? Possibly. But only because the kids loved it so much and its convenience for Filey.
Lovely site been coming for years. Always made very welcome. So easy to get into filey and surrounding areas. Can't wait to return. Children love being here, always make lots of friends. Lovely fairy garden also available which is great in the day for light lunch and cake.
In the heart of Wharfedale, this beautiful site is terraced to give amazing views over spectacular countryside. Hardstanding pitches for caravans and motorhomes and grass pitches for tents, with optional electric hookup. Toast marshmallows around the fire pit! Come and say hello to their family of friendly resident alpacas.
Hot showers, toilets, laundry, washing up. Wifi, dog washing facilities and bike cleaning facilities. Large woodland area where kids can explore for hours. Small shop and morning coffee shop for barista made coffee, fresh pastries and hot chocolate. There are also luxury timber lodges with private patio, wood fired hot tub, fire pit with pizza oven and a picnic table. The perfect base for exploring the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales.

Been visisting this site for last 15years one of the best sites we visit, easy walking to beach and to filey town, no need for car, just a plesant site and well kept, people very friendly, would recommend to anyone [ not too many as there will be no pitches left ]
Stayed for 2 nights in late June with a friend in a festival tent. Had the small field to ourselves and it was great! It was quiet, toilets were clean. My friend used the chest freezer to refreeze icepacks, along with the pot wash and drinking water facilities. It was miserable weather of rain and cold, but for our first time in a tent with our medium sized dog we enjoyed ourselves. I use a wheelchair and have an adapted Motability van with tail lift. As I had a female carer/friend we used the female toilets by parking my small manual wheelchair at the outside door under the small shelter, opened the door, with support I walked a couple of yards to the cubicle and then back to my wheelchair. The larger cubical I used was around a metre or 3 foot wide and around 2 metre long, with a single horizontally mounted small bar on the inside of the door about a metre from the floor. The toilet was a bit low but I managed. The threshold was level and the doorway around 2 foot wide of a standard door width. We ate in Filey at the Three Tuns pub where we walked to, including finding good public accessible toilets.
We used a single gas stove for simple warm food. I left my motability scooter and manual wheelchair in the van. Even though it was miserable weather, we were warm in the tent and the grassy field was not muddy or waterlogged. The staff were helpful and we were charged low price for non electric pitch of our festival tent.
In my opinion this site doesn't look much but it's cheap, can be cheerful, has perhaps more than basic facilities and is close to various lovely areas such as Scarborough and Filey.
If there is any opportunity to spend money on developments in the future, I would suggest a small room for combined baby change/family use/accessible toilet and shower. This may well be popular so two such rooms may be useful. This is not a criticism, just a suggestion.
Thanks to the staff on the reception and phone line for being part of our enjoyable camping experience!
Just returned from 3 nights at this lovely site. Great location 15 minute walk to Filey and 10 minutes to the beach. Site is lovely and quiet. There was 5 adults and 3 children in our party. Pitches where a good size and plenty of space between them. Fairy garden tea room was lovely. We went to Eden camp, which is well worth a visit.
Nice site. Loved the hard standing for tents but make sure you bring a footprint and driver pegs. Well kept sure. Quiet and a nice 10 min walk to filey and beach. Only complaints and they are really minor was the showers, quite cramped and could be improved 100% by adding some raised bamboo grids at the end of the shower so that you can get dry and dressed without standing on a wet floor and the playground needs a bit of attention
We really loved this site for its location, a country mile to Filey seafront, with all the usual seaside activities, an easily accessible beach, fish & chips, tearooms, amusements, golf a real family resort.
The site is well kept and grass kept immaculately. The pitches themselves were well spaced side to side but some of them are very close ( only 3-4 feet ) back to back, which can mean with differing units pitched back to back they are very close. Some of the pitches are difficult to manoeuvre on and off without spoiling the immaculate grass.
The shower block is small and with no seat in the shower changing area can only be used by those who can undress/dress whilst constantly standing.

This site was exactly what we wanted, good walks and being near to the beach too. A good base for touring the area. The site was clean at all times and very quiet.
One thing that let it down were the showers that were 50p for 6 minuets, but there is not enough pressure so hard to get our hair rinsed.
Arrived 7:45pm on the Friday, site well sign posted. We were given our pitch number and drove round to find that all the pitches were gravel,
-this made it extremely hard to hammer pegs in, actually took us twice as long as normal to set up.
- very uncomfortable under foot even with a foot print and carpet down. If we hadn't have had a footprint I am certain we would have had a hole in the bottom of the tent.
- Shower block ok but does cost 50p for a shower, this site is cheap at £19 per night for 2 people with electric. But why not just up the price to cover the cost of a couple of showers a day per person.
- Unfortunately the fairy garden cafe was closed for the winter, shame really.
It was dark before we finished and the site lighting wasn't the best.
- lovely walk into Filey which is also the dog walking path so beware!
Visited for 9 nights over the bank holiday weekend.
The entrance road is single track but with plenty of passing places should you meet something coming the other way.
The first thing you notice is how well kept the site is, the grass is constantly being cut and the edges are well trimmed. There is a lovely little fairy garden cafe on site with outdoor (and some covered) seating. It sells hot and cold drinks, sandwiches and cakes (closed from start of September until next season).
Touring caravans, all hard standing, are separated from the main tent area, again hard standing. There are smaller grassed areas at the rear of the site.
There is a dog walk and a small play park.
The facilities are okay, cleaned once a day which could do with being increased in bad weather. There are 2 showers in each, working off a 50p coin. The water is hot enough but it is quite cramped and not large enough to have a seat inside to help when getting changed.
The walk to the beach took us about 10 minutes. The beach area in front of Filey is not hound friendly from May to September, either side of it is however. The southern stretch is beautiful, passing Primrose Valley, The Bay, Hunmanby Gap and Reighton. We walked this every single day. The northern stretch, beyond the cobble landing is also hound friendly.
Filey, a 20 minute walk to the centre from the site, is a classic small seaside town with everything you would need. As well as the beach, there are pubs, restaurants, fish & chip shops, ice cream parlours, cafes, tat shops, all of the usual town shops plus a decent size Tesco.
The Cobblers Arms deserves a special mention. The smallest pub in Filey, it has a dozen real ales and real ciders. The owner and staff were really friendly. We wobbled out of here most nights.
Places to visit south include Bridlington, Flamborough, Hornsea and Withernsea. If you are happy to go a little further, Spurn Point is worth a visit (not hound friend as it's a nature reserve). North you have Scarborough, Robin Hoods Bay, Whitby, the beautiful Runswick Bay and Staithes. A little further are the North York Moors are well worth a visit.
We enjoyed our stay here, the site is great, the facilities are a little disappointing, however the Cobblers Arms in Filey more than makes up for this. We decided during the trip home to return for another 9 nights at the end of September.
Just returned from a 4 night stay at Centenary Way. Lovely site with a nice family friendly feel. Quiet on a night (except for the neighbouring donkeys but I can live with that). The pitches are large and we were on hardstanding which was very hard to get pegs into. Managed to get most of our awning onto the grass though.
We didn't have any issues with the toilets or showers, we have stayed at sites with far worse facilities. They could do with cleaning more than once a day when the site is full but the shower temperature was fine and there was plenty of room to get dried and dressed. Dont let this stop you using the site.
Oh and we paid for the on site wi-fi which was useless in all 4 of our mobile devices, my advice would be to not bother.
Finally the main reason for visiting is the fabulous location close to Filey, with its lovely gardens and clean beach. Filey has not suffered the same fate as many seaside resorts and is an attractive, well kept town with plenty to do for families. In fact if you get good weather there is no reason to use the car while you are there.
Well done to the owners, its a great site and we will definitely be back.
