Reviewer: Embee65 1 review from this member

 First time I been to this caravan site and enjoyed my stay. The young lass on the reception was very helpful she told us where our pitch was and gave us a map so the pitch was easy to find. Only down side was the numbers are on top of the electric box. Good size pitches. The toilets and showers are very clean and always hot water. Great for walking into filey, only takes about 10 mins. I have already booked to go back

 Very disappointed with this site top money for the time of year.

When we arrived we were told to wait in the pay and display car park, where we were expected to pay, as we were early for check in, most sites are more flexible or have a parking area.

Once checked in, no details of facilities given, no clear directions to pitch, we like the previous review drove around unable to see the site numbers as they are on top of the post, how do you see this when driving?

Upon finding our 'HARDSTANDING' pitch, it was just some paving slabs, not even level or solid, the pitches were so close together that once you opened the door you were on top of the neighbours. Which was unfortunate as our neighbours had two large alsations.

Never found the pot washing facilities, the showers, / wc were clean but basic and not many for a site this size.

No views of the coast, very very disappointed, we only stayed one night then moved to Flamborough Head at 1/2 the price for a great site.

Would not return

Reviewer: Andy and maz 11 reviews from this member

 Just spent 3 nights here. Check in was nice and quick but no useful information given such as where to find the nearest water supply, bins, waste water point etc. The pitches are not obviously numbered and you have to get out of the car and look on the top of the electric hook up posts for the pitch numbers. By the time we had figured this out we had driven past ours and had to go around again. Some pitch markers would be very useful. We were given a map when we checked in but it was of such poor quality it just wasn't legible.

Unfortunately I don't have much good to say about this site. We hoped for views over the coast but a large embankment between the site and the cliff (a couple of hundred yards away) completely blocked any view at all. The site itself was severely lacking in any character or redeeming features. Just a field with a few trees. It was also very waterlogged and boggy after some recent rain in the area. Anyone trying to get a van off a pitch in the middle without a 4 x 4 would not have been able to.

The toilets were clean but dated as well as the showers, I didn't use the showers so can't really comment on them, they each had their own changing area but could have maybe done with a shower curtain. Water pressure around the site seemed quite low and filling the aqua roll took and age with the push down tap! As this is a council run site there is no one to take pride in it such as you get on a private site which is why it is bland and un- loved.

There is a night security guard and two receptionists during the day but no warden (we saw) so if you have a problem you are pretty much on your own.

There is a shop selling the basics with a cafe which does amazing pasties, pastries and cakes (a delicious bacon butty as well)! All in all I probably would look elsewhere if I wanted a coastal site again. Unfortunately at this time of year when many sites are closed, the choice is limited. There are some great walks around the area including access to the Cleveland way and along the cliff tops, or down to the beach and walk into Filey (about half a mile)

 We have just had three nights at Filey Brigg camp site. Great location with good access to the coast path and Filey sea front.

Toilets clean and tidy plenty of hot water in the showers. Being next to the country park there is plenty of space to exercise dogs off site.

There is a drain for grey water next to the elsan point and a hose to fill water tanks. Ask at reception they will show you were they are.

Cafe at the entrance was great for breakfast before walking to Scarborough. Local supermarket is about 5 mins walk away. The bus and train station about 10 mins with links to Scarborough or Bridlington.

Maybe it would be different in high season but we found this a pleasant site. 


Date of Visit: September 2016 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: JDSin 4 reviews from this member

 Excellent value at £2. 90 per person in a hiker tent. Arrived as reception was cashing up, with no booking, as we were completing Cleveland Way, so woman kindly took our names, exchanged a toilet / shower block fob for a £10 deposit, and asked us to pay in the morning, which we did. Hikers and car campers were directed to a patch of grass very close to reception and toilet / shower / cafe block, which has an open to outdoors dish washing area with 3 sinks. There is another wash block nearer the caravan area. Toilets and showers were clean. Shower cubicles lovely and large, with bench and no curtains. A regular visitor siad she'd never known anything less than hot water. Cafe is open from about 6. 30am until owners 'have had enough', so it seemed to close around 4pm in early Sept. Highly recommended.

Reviewer: Dixter 25 reviews from this member

 Arrived on spec for a one night stay. Site was busy as kiddies had just gone back after school hols. Was given a choice of pitches. Most are level, some with hardstanding. Even though busy, the site was quiet and everyone was welcoming and friendly. Cost was £18. 50 for us and 2 dogs, which was excellent considering the location. Toilet/shower facilities are very clean and adequate (£10 deposit for entry fob). We don't usually stay on larger sites, but will definitely return to this one.

Reviewer: Itsyum 111 reviews from this member

 The site is set in part of the Filey Brigg Country park, a nice and quite location set back from the top of the cliffs so it doesn't have sea views but is still quite exposed when there's a north easterly blowing, Its quite a large site with all grass pitches, the toilet & shower facilities are modern and clean but you need a fob (£10 refundable deposit) to enter ! There is a small cafe on site with a small shop area and a children's play area across the road, The site is an easy 10 minute walk into town, you can also walk along the beach to town when the tides out. 


Date of Visit: June 2016 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Zzcharlie 12 reviews from this member

 Had a single night there & overall quite pleased with it. A large site on top of cliff with steps down to beach or a gentler walk via the town, we took steps first time only to find the tide in so no choice but up the steps again as you cant walk along beach when tide is in. The toilets/showers were decent but to use you need a electronic key which cost £10 which was refunded on leaving. Dogs have to be on leads on site which seems normal now but lots of walks just off site & they aren't allowed on beach. At £17. 40 for two of us & dog with EHU seems pretty good value. One bad point though the taps are push to go type so couldn't connect a hose & had to fill up water with a water carrier through floor & would have been a right pain if we'd stayed longer than the overnight stopover.

Reviewer: Petals134 3 reviews from this member

 Overgrown and overpriced !

Grass long and straggly, vans and awnings strewn every where as though they had been dropped and discarded, bumps and holes, EHu not working or blanked off, just for starters.

Overpriced I was charged £27. 50 for one adult with hook up with two dogs ! no Idea where the 50 pence came from but when I asked why it was so expensive the receptionist said they could charge what they liked it was peak season.

I wasn't shown a map or told where to go, just told go where you like as long as there isn't a cone parked there ( hence the messy looking site)

Travellers on the site leaving a disgusting trail of rubbish and a poor small dog tied to a fence on a very short lead all day.

Location made up for the site, wouldn't go there ever again, I just didn't feel safe either.

Reviewer: Michael.dent1 4 reviews from this member

 Friendly staff, good location being near to both beach and town. Toilet blocks are not luxurious but are clean and warm but to get to them you have to walk over the long grass as the tarmac road stops. Wouldn't come in peak but would stay off peak again. Speed bumps are needed to slow some wanna be racing drivers.

Reviewer: Martyn-wendy 4 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for two nights and found the site very comfortable and friendly with all the usual amenities and services. It was very clean and with well kept grounds.

There is a cafe and small shop, which we did not use but heard good comments.

The area is very good for walking and you can see the sea from a lot of pitches.

Overall a good site I would recommend. 


Date of Visit: November 2014 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Alandand 1 review from this member

 On arrival we were met by very friendly reception staff, the toilets were warm and clean. Location brilliant only a short walk onto front. The problem was the site was very wet and muddy, and the hardstanding pitches are not suitable for getting coachbuilt motorhomes on, we drove round 3 times trying to get onto a pitch but didn't manage it as the van was getting stuck in mud. The hardstanding pitches were the same as all pitches were churned up before you could get onto the flagged area. Luckily the site was very quiet so we parked on the end of one of the dead end roads and hooked up to electric point. We will go back but when weathers better as pitches aren't really geared up for winter use.

Reviewer: Spiceypip 6 reviews from this member

 Just had our first visit. Very friendly staff, shower block lovely and warm. Great breakfast at the cafe and lovely home made pies and cakes. Short walk to the beach. Great for dogs. Can't wait to go again. The only downfall was the odd fool that thought it was ok to speed round the site. Glad there were no small children about. And could do with some sort of barrier system. 


Date of Visit: August 2014 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Anniebrock 3 reviews from this member

 Only one regulation adhered to on this site and that was not allowing us to pitch until 12. 00hrs despite there being lots of empty pitches. People are allowed to pitch where they wish which resulted in units pitching either side of us only just allowing for our car to fit and we didn't have an awning! Dogs roaming free, one tried getting in our van. Ball games played next to vans. Cars going far too fast on the roads and coming and going at all hours - engine revving and car doors slamming at 6am one morning. No hot water for showers after 9. 30am. Wash block run down and grass in need of a cut. All that said, it is a nice easy walk into Filey and onto the Brigg. Scarborough only a short drive away but we won't be going back to this site.

Reviewer: Kerbus 3 reviews from this member

 Our first visit (July 2014) and definitely our last! As most people have stated the staff are very friendly etc. Be warned, the site is easily waterlogged, very uneven in places, and deep ruts where vehicles have to negotiate to gain access to certain parts of the site. The grass is seldom cut, pitches are unmarked which may sound good, unfortunately selfish campers seem to hog as much space as possible with no thought of their neighbours. Signs stating 'dogs on leads at all times' and 'No ball games' mean nothing. No staff carry out checks at all. Facilities are good, and clean, but unfortunately hot water soon runs out.

As people have mentioned before, there are no barrier gates, so units can arrive anytime in the night, and they do! Fresh water points are very few, the whole place is run on the cheap by Filey Council, but the prices charge per Pitch is expensive.

Filey Beach is beautiful, the town itself is nice, with splendid views of Filey Bay. There are much nicer campsites around Filey, with more considerate Dog Owners, and much cheaper.

I suspect the veteran Filey Campers will scoff at my remarks, so be it.

You have been Warned!
