We only stayed over for one night, which probably isn't enough to do the park justice, but we were very pleased with our stay.
We were later arriving than we had hoped, but were able to contact the park staff and there was no problem; this was good customer service. The welcome pack is a nice touch. The touring field is large and well laid out with hedges separating the pitches. The toilet blocks are a good size, clean and well-maintained.
This is a much larger park than we usually use but we were impressed with the facilities and services.
For our first ever camping trip Skipsea sands seemed pleasant and at £20. 00 per night which includes access to some of their facilities such as the swimming pool and bowling alleys, quite reasonable.
There is lots of wildlife such as rabbits and ducks which freely wonder around the campsite the children loved this.
We were close to the toilets which were okay, the floor was a bit of a mess as there was no mop and bucket left so some times you trampled through a puddle to wash your hands. There was never a queue for the toilets or washing up area, which was clean.
We were given a corner pitch and did notice the grass on which we pitched our tent was sparse yet we due to good weather it didn't seem to matter to much.
The facilities were good they had entertainment and kids clubs available, however the only facility we actually used was the swimming pool, Sauna and steam rooms. A complaint here was that you are only allowed an hour in the pool which upset the children as we were not made aware until our hour was up.
Over all for our first camping trip away Skipsea Sands was excellent. There were no massive issues a calm atmosphere and the staff were always friendly and helpful.
We camped at Skipsea for 8 nights. It is our first time camping at a commercial resort (Park Resorts), so wasn't too sure what to expect. It wasn't an awful holiday, but not the best, and I doubt I would camp there again.
Postives:
Some of the pitches are very large, and also the ones on the outer ring especially nearest the duck pond look like they could be pretty quiet.
The duck pond area was lovely, with loads of ducks that are very friendly (especially if you have bread!). There are also tons of rabbits all over the site which is nice to see.
The play park is right next to the touring field, and very good (although if you have a pitch near there it could be noisy, as I heard noisy when I used the toilet blocks).
There are two shower/toilet blocks, so no-one is very far away from them. One is most definitely better than the other, and they would benefit from having a mop left in there. Water was always hot, although pressure went up and down depending on how many others using!
Pool is good, went to the entertainment one night and it was ok if you like that sort of thing.
Lots to do in local area, went to Bridlington a few times and also Fraisthorpe Beach which was lovely, miles and miles of sand.
Negatives:
Pitches in general very close together, other than those on outer ring. We were unfortunate enough to be in middle, and felt quite crammed in. We were there at a busy time though, bank holiday weekend and last week of school hols.
No grass on pitch at all, it was pure mud, which unfortunately got very wet as it chucked it down as we put tent up. Meant we had some leakage of water due to conditions on pitch, didn't realise how much until packing away.
The shower blocks/toilets only seemed to get cleaned once a day, and there was no mop or anything left in there. Floors around showers got pretty disgusting.
We only went here as my inlaws were kind enough to treat us with their tesco vouchers. They also went, and stayed in their touring caravan, so were a few pitches away from us.
We did have a good holiday all in all, certain things couldn't be helped like the almighty wind and downpour that started when we were halfway through pitching and turned our mud patch into a muddy puddle which we then had to pitch on! I wouldn't camp at a big park like this again though.
I first went to have a look at this site on Good friday pm - found it on this sites search pages, the site was packed with new people arriving all the time, it looked busy and popular and had quite a buzz about the place. Wandering around, we found the tent section, it was full and every one looked quite content, chatting to neighbours etc, even then there were baby rabbits and ducks wondering about, noticed the site was spotless even when full.
I came home and booked for as soon as was possible, the first block of 5 days in a row was booked at £8 per night for the pitch (Sun through Fri)
We got a corner pitch (No 56) which was massive, at the time there was only 1 touring caravan on site, just behind our pitch, eventually, another tent pitched up across from us but that was the only other camper that week.
The site is well looked after, we saw ground staff mowing at least 3 times that week, the cleaning staff were very jolly and kept the facilities clean enough to eat your dinner off, 3 toilets, 3 shaving sinks and 3 showers per block, liquid soap dispensers were placed along the sinks and in each shower cubical, each cubical had shelves for shampoo etc,
Each toilet had a 'loo brush' and ample toilet paper. The showers were powerful enough to beat the muck off you lol, they were man friendly in heat as in not too hot but just right. The blocks were warm and light. There was a dedicated heated washing up area of 3 sinks and a disabled access toilet.
The wildlife was amazing, the site was full newborn ducks, rabbits, robins, song thrushes. You name it, it came for food at the slightest rustle of a bread packet, even taking food from your hand, very relaxing!
We did not use the club house etc but the shop was well equipped but at convenience store prices. Well it was convenient! lol
All in all, I will defo camp here again, a few miles to either Brid or Hornsea, right on the coast, not far from home, very friendly staff with security guard after 8pm and clean surroundings to boot!
Had a great time, clean toilet and shower block, children loved the playground and swimming pool. Pitch was a bit dry and stony and grass was sparse but when mentioned it to the warden they came back with a covering to prevent tent been damaged, very helpful. Entertainment was cheesy but the kids loved it, rabbits and ducks wandering around the site which the children were totally taken up with, will definitely be going back
We booked this site for 7 nights for our first holiday in our trailer tent with our 14 month old.
On arrival at the site we were really pleased with the touring pitch allocated and thought the touring park was lovely. The pitches were spacious as other people have stated.
We settled in and looked forward to our week. We arrived on Thursday and the touring park was lovely and quiet with lots of ducks and ducklings and rabbits and bunnies roaming round which our little one loved. We even had some ducklings wandering into our tent for a look round while we had breakfast!
On Friday afternoon however the park started filling up and by evening was full, mainly touring caravans but there were some large group tents and trailers dotted around.
It didn't get too noisy at night and any noise did seem to have died down after 11pm. However we were pitched amongst the caravans. The noise was coming from the tents on the other field and perhaps it would have been too noisy for us with our 14 month old if we were pitched next to the other tents.
On the Saturday night however it all changed for us as about 10.45 we were settling down for bed when we heard the zip on our tent and when I looked could see the shadow of a man trying to gain access to our tent from the side where the awning zips on to the trailer. My husband shouted out and we heard foot steps running away.
We called security and the warden arrived two minutes after our call to re-assure us that they would be around all night and we were not on our own. We did hear them drive past once shortly after but nothing after that. Obviously we got no sleep that night as we were worried having a 14 month old baby.
The next morning we decided to pack up and leave as the incident had scared us and we had lost faith in the site. I went to reception to explain we were leaving early and to see if there any been any other disturbances in the night. Nothing else had been reported. The staff were very helpful and showed concern. They offered us a static caravan free of charge for the remaining 4 nights of our holiday.
We were very grateful as we were a bit fed up about having to cut our holiday short as we were enjoying it before the incident.
The caravan was lovely and we very much enjoyed the rest of our stay. However the incident did put us off taking our trailer tent to the site again.
I would say in the week when it is quiet it is a lovely site however the site is completely different at the weekend and not wanting to sound like a snob there were some chavvy people staying on the touring pitch letting their kids wander round. We did feel at times we were babysitting 3 kids that were left to roam around, the youngest being only 4!
We visited the swimming pool on site and that was good. We didn't go to the club house at night as our little one was a bit too young for that but did hear that at the weekends it was full of teenagers and adults getting very drunk. Not that I have anything against drinking but I don't really like to do that around our little one. We did see some very drunk men coming out of the clubhouse early evening when we were taking our little one for a walk. We ate in the restaurant a couple of times. The food is quite expensive for what it is. Its like weatherspoons standard but more expensive. We bought the baby a meal which was one of the healthy kids options, the fish pie, and it was awful. Half of the fish pie was unedible and I wouldn't eat it never mind give it to the baby. It was rock hard. We did complain and they offered to give us some free garlic bread or ice cream for the baby. If you didn't want to cook every night there is little options to eat out or take away. There is a chippy just off site but it only opens at weekends and that is all there is in walking distance. There is a chippy and pub in beeston which you need to drive too.
The staff are very helpful and will bend over backwards for you. We were very impressed that they let us stay in the static as really they didn't have to do that. However the staff cant really help the type of people that were staying at the weekend. It is a shame as the touring site was nice however I don't think we will be visiting again.
Spur of the moment when weather was good, glad we went. Friendly reception staff, pitches good size, have large tent (7mx5m). Fairly quiet when we arrived Wednesday. Good points, refurbed shower, toilet blocks clean and tidy. Kids loved the pool, playground and camp club house. Real cheesy entertainment but kids smiling ear to ear. All staff friendly and always helpful. All in all a very good 4 days for £38 including passes.
This was a good value for money site with spacious pitches that were screened with hedges. Large playpark with adventure play and space to play football/tennis. A free swimming pool included with sauna/steam room and kiddie shallow bit (great for non swimmers like me) and evening entertainment. Optional extras such as tenpin bowling arcades etc. We know the area but there is Hornsea Freeport ten mins away. The seaside towns of Scarborough / Bridlington within the hour. Would go back again. 2 adults with 2 boys 7 and 9 with tourer and awning.
Just visited Skipsea Sands with my young daughter and found that the tent pitches were just dry patches of mud. The shower/toilet block was unusable due to no hot water.
I was told that there was a block closed for a refurb so things may get better. The park facilities are good but are in need of some TLC. The staff were friendly and helpful.
For less than a tenner it wasn't bad but the main reason I won't be going back is that the bingo is put on before the children's evening shows which I was told started at 8.30pm!
Lovely family site with good facilities. Nice big pitches, most with hedges to sides so you have your own space. Shower blocks cleaned regularly, unfortunate that some users clearly don't have toilets at home or why the fascination with messing these up, emptying loo roll etc?? beyond me!
Swimming pool nice, lovely chip shop close to site.
Only negative, which is out of anyones control is that there is no access to the beach due to coastal erosion.
Great value for money, will definitely go again!
