On arrival at site, we were escorted to our plot where Trevor and his assistant placed our caravan on the plot and levelled it up with blocks and told us where to find all the essential supplies (water, electric etc)
The site had a nice relaxed feeling about it with stunning views looking out to sea.
The welfare facilities could do with upgrading a bit, but for the cost of a nightly stay at this site it's very good value for money with friendly and accommodating staff. via mobile
Beautiful tent only site set on a family run hill farm in the Yorkshire Dales, nestled between Ingleborough and Whernside. The Three Peaks footpath runs right through the farm adjacent to the campsite with lots of walks direct from the site from easy strolls to climbing the Three Peaks, and five minutes to the pub!
Tent pitches only, no electric hookups. Toilet and shower block and washing up facilities. Sit, eat and socialise in the old barn, with free wifi, charging lockers, freezer. At weekends the Philpin Snack bar is open for cooked breakfasts, hot and cold snacks and drinks, ice creams, chocolates etc, on other days there are vending machines in the barn. Find out more here
What a gem this site is! We have - until very recently - been on a seasonal pitch on Sandfield House Caravan Park (more about THAT in my next review!)
A working farm, with showers, toilets, kitchen facilities, laundry and waste disposal for £18. 00 per night INCLUDING electric hookup, what more could you want?
Now, even though there are pros and cons on this site, I am still giving it full marks, as the pros make the cons seem non-existent.
Cons: No hard standing.
Pros: The staff are in a class of their own. The welcome you receive on arrival is so warm and genuine! From the lady in reception, with her huge smile and friendly greeting, to the hard-workers who not only show you to your pitch, but actually take your van and put it on for you. They then level it up and that is that! They are laughing and joking with everybody, and despite the awful weather, they never stopped joking and laughing with the visitors.
The View is immense! I could have sat there all day watching the ships go by, and we were even lucky enough to see a school of dolphins through the binoculars, right there in the bay!
It's an easy walk into town, or a couple of minutes on the bus. A taxi back will cost you £7 - 8.
The on site catering van is beyond measure. I recommend the chicken wrap, which is delicious, HUGE, and fed both me and my Mrs.
The facilities are amazing! I don't know what I expected, but although they are all in porta-cabins, they are clean, modern and most importantly in October WARM! They are also totally FREE!
This site attracts so many nice, kind and genuine people, and we made several friends here whom we hope to meet again when we return, which we fully intend to do in March.
If anyone from the site is reading this, we hope you have a fantastic and peaceful winter :-)
We liked everything about the site from the facilities to the friendly staff, nothing is too much trouble for them and of course the food van with a huge choice of food
We also leave our van on site so we ring to book on site and our van is pitched and ready to set up when we arrive via mobile
My friends and I had a fantastic weekend away at this laid back, friendly campsite that was ideally located.
Our experience from calling Gina and booking in to leaving saying we enjoyed having you stay and honestly mean that! Clean, fun, fab location not full of rules.
Good clean, cheap fun with fresh air with good friends given us all a real boost, thanks very much highly recommend this camspite. See you again soon.
Ps Enjoyed our brekkie from the van too before we left for our journey home. Fond memories made Xx
What a fabulous site! I've seen just a couple of middling reviews on here, but you can't really gauge a site until you've visited yourself.
Firstly, the location. A fabulous view of the sea from just about every pitch, and views of fields behind. The farm itself is very rustic and rural but has a great array of facilities including hot, fast, FREE showers, washers, tumble dryer, freezers, microwaves and safes for charging gadgets. The facilities are clean, fresh and always available even when really busy.
Secondly, the staff. Derek (the owner) is a lovely man and so welcoming. He makes each and every customer feel special and always has a smile on his face. His staff - Jeana in reception and Sandy and Terry (who do all the pitching and groundwork along with Derek), are really good fun and so helpful. They really can't do enough to keep us happy!
Thirdly, I have to touch on this point. I have seen lot of reviews that site faults like grasscutting on bank holidays (cows need feeding and have no concept of bank holidays), 'A mound covered in tyres' (this is called 'silage' and is grass that ferments over the summer and autumn so it can be fed to the cattle in winter. The tyres hold down the plastic to keep out the oxygen) and tractors starting up in the morning. Why would anybody complain about this? The clue is there in the name - High Straggleton FARM - it's a farm. There are farm noises, farm machinery, not to mention cows and dogs. If you don't want to see silage pits, hear tractors or smell that healthy rural air, go somewhere with 'Park' in the name rather than 'farm'.
The beach is a ten minute walk away and Whitby another ten either on the beach or on the promenade.
Finally, the fees. Two adults and a child - £14. 00 without hookup and £17. 50 with. Where else are you going to find that degree of value for money? This site is an absolute Gem.
I have visited this site again and again for the past ten years, and I can't find anywhere I'd rather go.
The area is superb, and the views from the site itself are wonderful; you can see right out to sea, up towards the Abbey and East towards the headland. Every time you look at the view it changes. An artist would have gala day here.
The facilities have drastically improved this year with four improved tracks to the pitches. The toilets have had a refresh and have all new sinks in both ladies and gents. All the facilities are still free - showers, washers, drier, microwaves, freezers and there are even safes that those who travel light can use to securely charge phones etc.
With a fee of just £17. 50 per night including electric hookup, the value for money is first class.
On arrival, you unhitch your caravan, and they pitch it for you and level up so well you'd think they had lazer vision!
We went at Easter this time, and though the weather was horrendous, lots of people had turned out. Despite the mud, everyone had a great time. The owner, Derek, is always on hand to tow out anybody who gets stuck, which the team did with a smile no matter how cold and wet they got.
There's a Costcutter just up the road, 2 minutes by car and about fifteen minutes on foot. Around twenty minutes walk is a Lidl, but it's always best to do your shopping in town, keeping the local businesses going. As well as the tourist shops, there are butcher's shops, greengrocers, freezer shops clothes shops, charity shops, tobacconists and even a watchmender. There are many fish restaurants of course, and also takeaways - Chinese, Asian, Italian and Mexican.
This site gets better every year, and no matter where else I go, I always end up coming back here. Best site in Yorkshire.
