Attended this site for the jubilee weekend. First the positives. The location is fantastic with views over the east coast.
Our pitch was as close to the sea you could be. Access to the beach was down an unofficial scramble down a cliff. Manageable if you are mobile.
The site consists of a small number of statics and 2 large camping fields with all grass pitches. Some have 10 amp hookup. There must be over 100 pitches, non of which are marked out. It was a dry weekend so can't comment about drainage.
Only one toilet block, the gents had 4 cubicles, urinals, 3 sinks and 3/4 showers. All were heated and very clean when we arrived. There is also dish was area.
Only 2 fresh water taps were provided and just 1 very dirty and unsuitable elsan point which was a hole in the ground with a tap. By the end of the weekend the toilets were filthy and you could get near the elsan point without walking in blue chemical, faeces and urine.
I didn't see anyone clean the elsan point the whole weekend. Portable chemical toilets were also scattered across the fields which again were not emptied or no evidence of being cleaned. On our last morning each toilet was splattered with feaces at 8 am and by the time we left at 10am they had not been cleaned.
The EHU constantly tried for the full site and when complaints were made we were told it was our fault for turning on our heating on an evening. (It got very cold).
In fact, the poor electrics caused my fridge to short out due to a power surge when switched on. It was a party weekend so there was noise but wasn't too bad, especially where we were. Fire pits were allowed bit one was mire like a bonfire with sparks and ash spread across the site due to strong winds.
We were positive that the wardens would sort it especially when they arrived in their yellow van, only to see them get out and join the party.
A number of young kids were also allowed to speed around on their electric motor bikes. I wouldn't normally have a major issue with this however they were riding in between vans and cars at break neck speeds and an accident was never far away.
We chose this site as friends have a static at Skirlington site next door and it was a short walk between sites to meet up. We have previously stopped there but that was awful so hoped this would be better. Little did we know that this was also part of the Skirlington group.
There are poor sites in the area which are 10 times better than this site. We will not be returning. via mobile
This is a simple, well maintained little site, no frills, but with a very nice, modern shower block (though perhaps too small for the size of the site), and overall good value for money.
I'd like to say we'd go there again, but there are issues that need addressing before we'd risk it, I think.
First 2 nights - brilliant. Absolutely no issues. The last night - a different story.
A group of over 40 people came, sharing 4 pitches (not an exaggeration!). They were joined by others in random cars. Kids running all around the shower blocks, adults leaving beer bottles and lids, and all manner of litter all around the field. Social distancing was ignored and the group opened up the toilets and shower cubicles that had been locked off, for their own use. This was topped off by the group having a bonfire in the middle of their pitches!
I don't like to blame the site for the behaviour of a few idiots, but whilst the bonfire was raging, "security" drove past (windows up so they couldn't hear the extent of the noise), took no notice, not even of the bonfire, and drove off.
That bit is the fault of the site and is the issue they need to address. We spoke to the site staff on the evening in question and stopped by the following morning.
Cliff Top campsite rescued my family holiday from disaster, I needed 2 tent spaces, side by side with EHU on the first weekend of school holidays! Though I live in the village, we downsized but I wanted to give my daughter and grands from Alaska some happy memories.
Cliff top did just that. They were able to give me sites with sea view, 50 paces from the cliff top. Wonderful.
Lovely staff, Sue, very helpful.
Toilet/shower block was refurbed over last winter. It is clean with 4 loos in ladies side and the 3 showers have a small area on entry with a seat/shelf and 3 hooks. Central heating in block, too. Nice washing up facilities.
As stated by others this is a camping site. There are some permanent mobile homes and caravans near the entrance. Holiday facilities, pool, shop, bars, amusements, eateries and chippy are all available and included in the camping cost a mile away at Skirlington. That is a 20 mins walk over coast track or 4 minutes by car.
The site is on cliff top and while some people do scramble down to the beach, especially kids, it is not recommended. Safe and proper access is available via Skirlington.
The site is dog friendly. There's plenty of room for kids to play away from tents. It is only really really full on about 3 weekends in the camping year and you can request the plot you'd like if booking ahead and it will be honoured.
This is a family site and some noisy anglers, on a week's holiday who were a bit 'jolly' on their return to camp, post 10. 30 pm, were spoken to by management.
It's a tidy site, bins emptied etc. There are 2 enclosed areas with 4 or 5 huge trash bins.
Hornsea small seaside town is 7 minutes drive south with promenade and beach. Plenty of shops, pubs, chippies, bars, etc. The town's leisure centre is being rebuilt so there is no pool, gym etc currently and completion expected "spring 2020".
Bridlington is 11 miles north, about 25 mins. Beverly, great for mooching is 11 miles west. Hull city is about 40 mins drive.
I walk this site 3 or 4 times a week and can see people having a lovely break, as did I and my family.
Lovely location, nice walk to Skirlington to use their facilities.
Night time was appalling, huge group of under 8's Rugby teams & parents camping, noise horrendous, music blasting out, foul language being shouted until gone 1am at which point I rang security, didn't really calm down when security went, we only got around 4hrs sleep.
Reported to reception next day who said we should of rung security at 11pm, and that one caravan had already left a day early due to being intimidated by the noise group.
Receptionist told us she would ring security & let them know and they would have a word with them and make it clear that there was to be no noise after 11pm.
Following night exactly the same, loud music, swearing, cars been driven round field I rang security yet again at 11. 30pm. Security came, soon as they went the group were back at it. Totally ruined what was a lovely site. via mobile
I agree with the majority of comments reference the views and staff. It is set in a very idyllic place. I felt so sorry for the cleaning staff.
I believe complaints had been made to the level of cleanliness in the toilet blocks. A serious look at the designers refurbishment is probably a positive step. There are no drainage points that would enable the floors to be washed and drained adequately.
I probably picked the wrong time to go ( half term) It was so depressing to witness such low standards of human hygiene, I really felt for the cleaners.
After the first day I felt it wiser to use the toilets off camp.
Maximum Mark's for the site location and staff, need to use signage more explaining peoples responsibilities to each other. via mobile
This review comes from myself camping in a tent with 2 other adults & 2 little boys (ages 6 & 8) but also my parents in the caravan, my auntie & uncle in their caravan, my uncle & his partner in their caravan, another uncle & Aunt with their 2 teenagers as well as my brother in a tent with his 2 year old daughter & his 2 friends.
We absolutely love this site, it's definitely one of a kind! We've been coming here for at least 8 maybe even 9 years! Before this site was available, we always used Skirlington! We never had a complaint about it until the price started going up! We'd been going there since I was a child & I'm now in my 30's!
My parents have their caravan on site most of the year so there's always someone there every weekend or holidays from school. My parents stay there the whole 6 weeks holidays & everybody else just turns up when there ready to join in on the fun!
There's not a lot on the site it's self however, with the site being partnered up with Skirlington. There's always something to do. If we're not on this site, climbing up & down the cliff to get to the beach or playing ball games on the massive field, were up at Skirlington enjoying the facilities & tthe weekly market!
The toilet/shower block is as you would expect, they also have a disabled toilet/shower to which you need to have your own disabled toilet key. In the ladies there are 4 toilets & 3 showers with 4 sinks - all having quite large mirrors above. There is also several plug sockets around so to be fair you could get ready in there using the plug socket for your straighteners. Also a very good thing I've found is that I've never had to queue for either the toilets nor the showers.
The site itself is very quiet, sometimes there's the odd group making a little noise but it's nothing to write home about. We've also found if we have had any complaints, the guys in the office alway listen & do something about it. I've seen them ask groups to leave because they were just too loud!
I personally would give this site a 10 out of 10 like I say there isn't a lot on this site but everything you'd want is just a few miles up the road at Skirlington, off my head I remember the Markets & Car Boots, the, Swimming Baths, Arcades, The Local Shop, the Pub on site has entertainment on most nights & I'm sure there's a kids part inside the pub too! There's also a restaurant next door to the pub which offers a wide range of food - including a kids memu. Oh and the Fish Shop is beautiful!
Or if you go left out of the site you arrive in hornsea where there is everything you could wish for. Beach, Swimming Baths, Co-op, Tescos with a petrol station, Arcades, Parks, lots of shops offering a wide range of stuff to fit all you shopping needs! There is a few chip shops which as all very nice too!
So we the Coates family would just want to thank the whole staff from the very bottom of our hearts, for a fun packed holiday spot. It's definitely a place we'll be coming too for lots of years to come!
Just returned from a stay at Cliff Top Caravan Park, and I would recommend it to anyone. Close to Bridlington and Scarborough plus many more amenities. It's a nice little place for sightseeing.
The showers are very good although in the Female toilets there are no hooks on the doors to hang your stuff (the only one that does hasn't got a lock on it hehe). Close to the sister sight where the facilities are free which is good.
All in all I couldn't fault this place, great for people who just like the outdoors.
On arrival it was a not so warm welcome. Not everything was explained to us and when we asked questions the answers were quite abrupt.
The park was very clean and although there were a few large groups (which doesn't bother us anyway) there was no high noise levels on a night. It seemed that the electric hook up was there whether you wanted it or not, meaning it wasn't an added extra, it was thrown in with the price. We found out why the first night as one of our neighbours must have put the kettle on and off the power went. Seemed to have a lot of sockets on one trip as it knocked a lot of power off.
We were placed quite a distance from the socket and hired a extension for a returnable deposit but when we came to return the lead it was a 40 minute wait while the guy got out of bed.
One bonus is it's sister site at Skirlington Leisure Park, which is where we would have stayed but they don't accept tents, the welcome was warm and helpful, and we had access to all the facilities like the swimming pool.
We found the toilet block to be clean but the portaloos that were dotted around the park were not so clean.
Would we return? for the stunning views from the cliff yes, for the grumpy reception and dodgy electric supply probably not.
We have been going a few years now and always enjoyed every minute, easy to find, loads of space, electric hookup, meeting others who camp,
clean toilets and showers, beautiful views from the cliff top, 10 minutes to local pub, short drive to shops.
The owner always around if you need him, a must go and see for yourself,
