Reviewer: Broganny 1 review from this member

 This is a fantastic location and I had beautiful views of the sea and the abbey. It is walking distance from Whitby and the abbey.

The lights on the touring campsite were very low and attached to the electric hook up. This meant that a bright light shone into the vans and caravans all night.

It was very odd that the toilets were not open for anyone to use during COVID 19 because public

Toilets were open everywhere. They still opened the cafe and the shop so it didn't really make sense that there were no washing facilities. There was no reduction in price for the lack of facilities. No toilets, showers or hot water to do the washing up.

It appeared there was a key for some people for a toilet/shower but that must have been a best kept secret because I never knew about it until the day I was leaving when the person on the desk asked my sister's partner if he was returning the toilet key! He was returning their caravan key.

I had a lovely time because my sister was staying in a static caravan on the other side of the site and I could use her facilities and I can sleep anywhere even with a light on. However, some people might be a bit disturbed by these aspects.

There was a good playground for children.

Beautiful location. A bit odd in terms of how it is run. Maybe it is the Whitby Way!

Reviewer: Sharon 1 review from this member

 Excellent location and views. As new caravanners, we found it hard to level the caravan due to the very uneven pitch which we were allocated.

Very disappointed that as a couple without young children, we were placed directly in front of the children's play area which was very noisy and unsupervised until after dark.

We would return now that we are aware that we can request specific pitches if available.

Reviewer: Varonda 15 reviews from this member

 We were warmly welcomed and after paying the deposit for the toilet block key were shown to our allocated pitch.

I'd say that a pair of ramps would be advised as the site is undulating in most areas.

Position wise the site is superb, on the cliff tops about a 15 min walk from the abbey then the dreaded 199 steps down to Whitby, don't forget what goes down has to come back up ! the site has fairly well stocked shop, cafe and bar [ didn't try the bar ].

All the usual facilities are there and were generally clean and tidy, in fact the only issue we had was with the outdated and generally useless showers, either hot enough to boil a lobster or cold enough to keep perishables in ! nothing in-between - to reiterate clean but useless.

Oh forgot -don't forget your sink plug for the dishwashing area.

 Great site and friendly staff.

Cafe serves a lovely breakfast.

Lovely walk along the coast and down the steps into Whitby.

Ideal if visiting Whitby abbey

Reviewer: Oldbird2 12 reviews from this member

 This site is in a prime cliff top position and a short walk from Whitby. The showers and toilets were clean and plentiful when we visited. However, the shower in the men's was scalding hot.

The women's showers were ok temperature wise but would only operate with the push button control held in constantly - necessitating a one handed shower!

The toilets are accessed with a key - £10 deposit. The reception staff were all very friendly and helpful. We had a cliff top pitch which was £31 per night. Our awning was an extra £3 per night.

For 2 people in a 5m campervan this is the most we have ever paid!

Reviewer: LR2007 29 reviews from this member

 Fairly easy access down a country lane with passing places should you meet oncoming traffic. Booking in procedure painless and £10 charge for key to facilities. Shown to our pitch by the warden who advised one of the less sloping pitches should we visit again as we did not want to be on the cliff top edge although the views are wonderful.

There are a few hard standing pitches on concrete at the site entrance, however, you would have all the passing footfall and no view at all. Facilities are Ok. Probably now in need of updating and the showers could be a little more roomy. Also the floors seemed to get extremely wet due to the dreaded shower curtains which were too short to be of use efficiently.

Fair standard of overall cleanliness though. Lovely cliff top walk into Whitby via the 199 steps down past the Abbey. Taxi back costs £6. 50 which also allowed our small dog to travel too which was a bonus as we have to limit her exercise.

Would definitely go back again out of school holiday times though as I would imagine it would be much noisier. Can’t comment on the on-site bar etc as we didn’t use them.

Reviewer: Pete Ravey 1 review from this member

 Nice easy check in and really quick.

The warden showed us to our pitch and

Informed us of were everything was.

The toilet and shower blocks were basic and not much space to get dressed etc after a shower I’d rate them 7/10

The site is well positioned to walk into Whitby and get to some lovely places.

We didn’t stay for our second night we had been out all day and when we returned I parked the camper round the other way to block the wind, The warden told me to move the van to the position we were told to park in on the first day. I felt he was being unreasonable as we had paid for an extra large pitch so we would have flexibility with our small camper van but he wouldn’t see reason and offered no solution. So we left disappointed and won’t use the site again

Reviewer: Daleswalker 9 reviews from this member

 We tend to stay away from commercial sites where possible, preferring CL's but this one caught our eye so we thought we'd give it a whirl. It's a well appointed site, nice (if not spectacular) amenities and very well situated for access to Whitby itself. The key for the ablutions will cost you a £10 refundable deposit, I personally didn't use them much but when I did they were clean, warm and serviceable (quite pleasant if a toilet can be pleasant!) We arrived quite late (about 4ish) but well within the site rules, the girls at reception were very friendly and gave us a warm welcome. The same can't be said for the warden who showed us to our pitch, we were definitely an inconvenience to him! Due to the time of year (it was just after the half term) the site was quite sparsely populated so we were a little disappointed to be shoe-horned in between 4 or 5 camper vans with barely enough room to erect our awning, there was so much empty space elsewhere. We asked the warden if we could choose a different pitch from one of the dozens available (none of which became occupied during our entire stay)but were told this wasn't possible.

That being said this is an otherwise lovely site, a well stocked on-site shop whose manager was extremely helpful. A great club-house with games room and even a small cinema! Again the manager was very helpful full of advice about the local area. The club house is quite large and I can imagine that it gets very busy at peak times but whilst we were there it was quiet. There is also a very pleasant little café there where we treated ourselves to a full English before departing, service wasn't lightning fast but the food was all freshly cooked and very tasty!

A taxi in to town will cost you around £6. 50 but the cliff top walk (via the 199 Abbey steps) only takes around 15-20 minutes and is beautiful if the weather is kind!

Overall a great site and an enjoyable stay marred only by our pitch position. Will we be back?. Probably yes, there aren't many Whitby sites that are within comfortable walking distance of the town and the views from some areas are nothing short of spectacular!

Reviewer: Iain and kay 5 reviews from this member

 A busy, fairly large site. On site facilities include a shop, play area, cafe and bar. There’s a private beach which is a 5 minute walk down a steepish path. Our dogs loved it.

Very spacious pitches, so even though it’s been busy at the weekend it doesn’t feel too crowded. There’s quite a few seasonal vans too. All the pitches are grass so can be soft after bad weather, but they’re very good at helping stuck units off. We’ve had no problem despite heavy rain before our arrival. I do think it’s on the pricy side for non serviced pitches, but that’s got to be partly due to the proximity of Whitby, a 20 minutes stroll along a glorious cliff top path.

All the staff have been super friendly and the whole site feels very clean and modern.

Reviewer: Chillisax7 1 review from this member

 Excellent site and my 7yr old daughter keeps saying this was the best holiday ever. Lovely views of the abbey and watched the firework display on the tops with a glass of wine. Lovely walk into the town along the cliffs and safe with fence along. We will definitely be back and hopefully this year. Toilets clean and never had to wait. Taxis from town back to site are very cheap. Not worth driving and trying to find a space. Bar was brilliant and just a small arcade which I prefer. Brilliant park for kids to play and a lovely private beach for bbq. Loads to do around and we didn't get chance to do everything. Andy and Tracy

Reviewer: Bessy525 75 reviews from this member

 What a great site for visiting Whitby and the surrounding area, many of the pitches are very undulating and need various amounts of timber to level your van, but once you get over the shock it worth it. Site facilities were clean and tidy throughout our stay and despite their being only 5 loos 6 showers in the gents I didn't have to wait once. The on site shop covers the basics, the clubhouse was in good condition with films being shown each afternoon for the children. If anything they need to advertise the place more maybe on arrival a list of the events would be good, we missed the curry night as we didn't see the chalk board advertisement for the night. Its a fairly flat walk along the Cleveland Trail to Whitby where on arrival you will be met by the famous 199 steps down. Local supermarkets were within a couple of miles, site staff were extremely helpful at all times even helping with pitching on the afore mentioned timber blocks on arrival. TV and satellite reception was good but given the high location its a bit windy.

 Unfortunately the weather was awful but we did have a fantastic view when the mist cleared.

Nothing was too much trouble for everyone on the camp, the facilities and all of the camp was very well maintained.

A lovely coastal walk into Whitby would definitely recommend to anyone and judging by the full house over the weekend everyone else felt the same.

Reviewer: Trina 1 review from this member

 Stayed for two weeks on a seaview pitch and what a glorious view we woke up to each morning. These pitches are slightly dearer than the others but well worth it, they seem to be a bit larger too. Beware it can get windy. The staff here from reception, shop, cafe and the wardens are all extremely friendly and helpful and the cleaners must work their hearts out as the toilets/showers were spotless regardless of what time of day you used them. Cant comment on the bar as never used it however it seemed to be busy when passing. Lovely walk into whitby then down 199 steps, however a £6. 00 taxi back by-passed those. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have already booked next year.

 Our 1st visit to this site & will be our last. There is no space between, back or front of pitches. Horrendous. Dogs Barking Constantly for 3 days. Pity because the Walking & Cycling in the area is fabulous.

Reviewer: GrumpyBoaby 58 reviews from this member

 Delighted to review this site again, the site was very busy during our 6 day holiday, some pitches seem to be very close together once campers spread themselves out in their large awnings and wind breaks.

The new play area seems to be a big hit with the younger campers, the camp store has changed ownership and appears to be stocking more home bakery items.

The site club and cafe were doing a food trade during our stay, however we didn't go down to enjoy the fun at the club.

The male toilet and shower room are let down with grumpy, rusty old oap trays and broken coat hooks, the cleaners must work around the clock to keep the showers/toilets clean.

Very friendly welcome from the reception staff and wardens, shown to our pitch this time as the site was very busy.

Good cliff top walks north and south along the Cleveland walkway, the path down to Sandwick bay beach could be a bit strenuous for the less able as its very steep n places, with deep treads in between the steps.

A short walk to the Abbey and if your feeling energetic, The town of Whitby is down the hill, lots of places to eat, inside and out (watch out for the cheeky gulls) a good COOP shop near the harbour with plenty of parking.

The town is very oldly worldly, lots of little shops and shore side stalls selling local crap etc. The town can get very busy, especially during event weekends I. E the Gala.

The site is kept spotless and grass short, however we would be delighted if the owners would purchase a lawn mower that collected the cut grass and not leave it on the ground, when its wet, the grass covers your feet and walks into your van and site shower rooms.

We have already booked for later in the year
