Spent 4 nights here from 24 june. Cost only £58 which we thought was very good. Level good size pitches with water on tap and waste water drain. Quiet at this time but pub opened on Mon and Thurs nights. Nice pint at £2 80 but small bottle of wine was bit dear. Never tried food but looked and smelled good. Toilets ok, showers use tokens(3 for £1)and last for 8 mins. Two kids playgrounds. One is small but near pub. Did not see a games room and when pub is closed only outside play area for kids. Nearest bus stop is a steady downhill walk but coming back is hard going, but handy for all places by vehicle. People working there were all nice and friendly. All in all a good site which we would recommend and we will return.
We would highly recommend this site. It is set in beautiful surroundings. And wonderfully peaceful. The site was kept clean and tidy. The toilet blocks were also very clean. The site was very child friendly and the children's playground was great. The food was lovely and really well priced. There is a dog walk in the woods which was also kept clean. The squirrels and rabbits were a bonus. We loved this site. We are so going too become regular visitors
Camp security good, pay £5 deposit for a gate/toilet block security card returnable on departure. Plenty of equipment at play park, which is situated outside the toilet / shower block.
This is the only toilet / shower block on site but was never full. Showers work by token, 3 tokens for £1. Each token lasts 8 minutes, the time started as soon as you put the token in so don't hang about! family bathroom was ok but floor was very wet and slippery when we used it! 50p's needed for meter for hot water for bath.
Food very good at pub on site, live entertainment at pub once a week we didn't go to see him but was able to hear him from our pitch a good distance away quite late into the night!
Would happily go back to site but would not want the pitch we had this time, it rained once, quite heavily but we found the rain flowed directly down the roadway into our pitch helped by the speed bump situated on the corner of the road!
We had water covering half of our awning, at one point, this didn't stop us having a really good time,
Scarborough and surrounding area has lots of things to see and do. Hope to go back another year!
Just returned from our trip felt a bit disappointed with the site,
the toilets were not always clean and some of the taps in the toilet cubicles were not working.
The play park was very good. We were on pitch 2 and our son daughter in law and family were on pitch 1, when it rained their awning flooded (there was water on both pitches when we arrived).
Location for Scarborough is very good and not too far from bridlington and other attractions.
The barrier is locked at 11pm we arrived back and 3 mins past and had to park our car near the reception which was a bit worrying.
The food in the pub is excellent and well worth the money staff were polite and helpful
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
We have just returned from this site from a two night break. We are new to camping so trying to narrow down the 1000's campsites is a bit of a mine field.
I settled on this one as it seemed to cover everything we needed, and wasn't far from Scarborough which I know well.
Found the place easy enough, and got straight in with a warm welcome. £5. 00 got me a security card which allowed car access in and out, and this was refunded at the end of the stay. Good for security.
Lovely pleasant site, very clean, nice little grassed area for our tent which was a flat pitch too. However I did feel this site was more geared towards caravans and motor homes.
The tent field was well away from the toilet/shower block which made life difficult for nipping to the loo and getting washed etc on a morning, especially with two young children. The showers work on a token basis (40p for a 8 min shower) which did all three of us fine, and they were well maintained.
The play area was fine and was right next to the amenities block, so due to the distance from my tent I was a bit wary of letting the kids go on their own.
The site pub was nice and served lovely food but only on an evening (from 6pm or 7pm on a Sunday) which is quite late for my two kids and as the shop choice was very (very) basic we had no choice of getting any breakfast or lunch on site without taking a load of food ourselves or going off site in search of food!
As we are new to camping and only go for one or two nights we find it easier to eat out rather than buying and taking bbq's and cool box's etc!
Overall we have really enjoyed our stay, ideal for visiting Scarborough, Def recommend the use of the park and ride. Sea front parking is a nightmare!
Paid £20 per night during the school holidays which I found ok, so next time we fancy a weekend at the seaside I would use this site again.
We have just returned from a 6 night stay at Jacobs Mount. We found the site spacious, well maintained, friendly and quite.
The amenities are clean and well kept, but there is a charge for the showers (says free in the description). We had a pitch with water/waste and electrics to hook up to, which was excellent and great not to have to fetch water or dispose of waste.
The on-site pub is good with entertainment and bingo. They also provide meals that are reasonably priced.
All in all, I would recommend this site and we will be returning later on in the year.
We visited in June 2011 and found the entrance inviting, clean and welcoming. The Reception is a little dated and we were asked to leave a £5 deposit for the key card which was to be used to drive in with the caravan. Cars cannot access after 11pm which I found annoying.
The site itself has a one way system which is easy to use and a good way of avoiding having to manoeuvre around. Our pitch was down at the bottom (think it was 6) which was quiet and peaceful. We were met during the week with torrential rains which flooded our awning.
The toilet blocks were clean mostly and accessible via your key card. The showers were 'just ok' as if you had a shower in the bottom one, you got all the dirty water from someone's shower running into your drain. The showers were chargeable too. The clubhouse was very clicky and it was very dated with magnolia walls everywhere-lacked a bit of character.
The site was well maintained and the pitches were overall good. The waste disposals were convenient too and so where the rubbish bins. We found it a convenient location for local attractions.
Very disappointed in this site, I asked when I booked if the pitches and access to the pitches was good as we have a large twin axle caravan and large car. They said pitch size was exceptionally large they even have the new Bailey Retreat sited on a seasonal pitch.
In reality the pitch was average, we were told to park car across tow bar, this was impossible no room. A motorhome next to us had millimetres to spare to fit on pitch. If we had an awning we would have to park car in carpark. We walked around whole site to find the Bailey Retreat, no sign of it !
Location of site is ok if you like to take a car everywhere, we prefer to walk, the walk into Scarborough was about 2.6 miles all down hill, the walk back up is only for the super fit. You can get a taxi. We were told by reception that a bus passes the site on main road, we couldn't see any bus stop and didn't see one bus pass us by, so think reception might be misinformed.
Reception was poorly stocked no bread or newspapers left by noon, other stock was minuscule.
Toilet/showers were in need of refurb, toilets were smelly and dirty and that was at 8 am so doubt they were cleaned the day before. Showers are operated by token, bought from machine outside reception, didn't use them as was dubious about cleanliness we used our van.
Site is mainly statics ( privately owned ) and all looked very dated. First impression when we entered site from main road was not favourable. Had to wait over 40 mins to get checked in as our pitch was still occupied reception staff had to tell them to vacate pitch it was almost 2pm, the occupants were not happy and gave us an annoyed look when they pulled passed us.
Positive points, pitch was fully serviced and price was a very reasonable £20 per night, however £2.50 for a dog per night was expensive, what was this charge for, the dog walk was a tiny footpath
In a wooded area by the statics no dog poo bins and lots of dog mess on the path.
Just spent a lovely weekend at this site. Really good value at £21 per night as all the pitches are fully serviced (waste/water/electric hookup)just remember to bring your water hook up kit and a 3M length of waste pipe, pitches are spacious and easily accommodated our 27' van & awning with space left to park the car.
The site is very clean and well maintained and the toilets and showers are also kept nice and clean. The onsite shop is quite basic but that didn't bother us as sainsburys is only a 5 minute drive away. All the staff I spoke to were helpful and polite and the check in process was dealt with efficiently.
The on site pub/clubhouse is a good size and has games for the kids a couple of pool tables and a few fruit machines, there was entertainment on Saturday night which was fairly decent and thankfully not too loud, we did not try the food but what we saw looked decent enough, overall a decent pub and a bonus that its right there on the site.
We will definitely be returning to this site as I love the fully serviced pitches and the location is superb for visiting the surrounding areas, 6-10 mins into Scarborough depending on traffic.

I went to this site in Scarborough as it was my first outing and I needed somewhere with good facilities to try out the caravan and it had good reviews. I certainly wasn't disappointed with my choice!
The site is excellent with fully serviced pitches (electric hookup, water drain and tap) which are also hardstanding and have their own hedges and grass lawns. The staff on site are friendly and keep the place spotless.
Went in the shower block once (used my caravan facilities the rest of the time) and they were immaculately kept and spacious.
I didn't try the Jacobs tavern pub on site as it was closed most days (it was low season and very quiet). The site is a 2 mile gentle walk to the rail station but its all downhill and the taxi back is £6.
Jacobs Mount is in a Great location for Yorkshire's coastal resorts, picturesque market towns and scenic countryside.
We called in here with a tourer without pre-booking during the high season and although the site was very busy, we found the owners to be friendly, very helpful and accommodating.
Access in and out of the touring/camping area was via electronic barriers, operated by a card which was issued on arrival (£5 refundable deposit) this same card also opened the doors of the services block. On the secure side of the barriers was also a car park for extra vehicles, which weren't charged for when using this facility.
The site is gently sloping with level pitches on terraced rows.
Tourer pitches are all-weather hardstanding and 'fully serviced' which, at a price of £20 per night during August 2011, we thought was excellent value (there are additional charges for awnings and dogs). Take a long electric hook up lead because the mains conection point is on the opposite corner of the pitch to your caravan.
As a guide to a tourer pitch size - the hard standing area was approx 30' long and the width would fit a caravan with its' awning (remember your hard ground pegs), to the right of this was a mown grassed area, ample for a vehicle, or a recreation area if there was room to put your car on the pitch across the front of your caravan. There is no room for parking on the 'one way system' single tarmac roadways.
Several pitches on corners and the top of the site are wider.
Our stay was during the summer school holidays but other than the immediate area of the childrens play ground we found it to be very quiet and peaceful. The play ground itself is outside the touring area so it would be advisable to accompany younger children.
A down side to the site was the fact that there was only one service block, which was situated outside the barrier entrance. It had a family bathroom, dishwashing and laundry facilities but only four toilet cubicles and six shower cubicles in each of the 'ladies' and 'gents'.
Toilet cubicles were large and each had a small wash hand basin in. The Shower cubicles were divided to provide a separate changing area with a plastic seat and clothes hooks. Showers were operated by a token - 40p each or 3 for £1 available from a machine on the wall outside reception, the coins went into the appropriate box outside the shower cubicle which started an immediate countdown of 7 minutes of hot water.
The on site pub seemed popular which had a pool table, a few game machines and entertainment during the week-ends. It opened at 7pm for evening meals with a varied pub type menu at prices averaging around £8. We did visit on Sunday evening at about 7. 30 but it was busy and we had a wait of 45mins for our food, we both had steak pie but to be truthful the pastry was very hard and some meat had dried out, seeming likely that it had been over heated in the oven, maybe the food is better during less busy periods.
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return here.
For a great day out we highly recommend a steam train trip from Pickering to Whitby (£21 adult return) perhaps stopping off for a while at Goathland (T. V. 's Heartbeat location) many trains on a varied timetable throught the day
Just returned from a lovely week at jacobs Mount. We were welcomed by the receptionist who directed us to our pitch. There is a returnable £5 deposit for the keycard for entry through the security barrier and the toilet/shower block.
At most sites we have visited we were given a little leaflet or info regarding what's near us or if anything happening locally but not here, maybe this is something to think about
The site itself is well laid out with spacious pitches however the pitches opposite are very close and the road quite narrow so pitching up the caravan was quite difficult as people opposite were parking on the edge of the hardstanding and the road. You have your own water tap which is very handy.
All the pitches were on hardstanding and grass ours was flooded with a huge puddle due to all the rain, we left this to dry up before attempting to put the awning up, the awning was up the next day in a dry spell but the rains came again and our awning flooded, obviously a problem with drainage or uneven pitch number 28.
Once hooked up the electric kept tripping out, the manager was doing his rounds and noticed my partner having trouble resetting it. It turned out the fuse was broken which he replace within minutes.
The toilet blocks are lovely always clean and never busy, showers are done by token 40Peach or 3 for £1, not alway hot more lukewarm but all the same clean and have a separate door to stop your clothes getting wet.
The clubhouse on site was very busy on the Sat night as there was a singer on he was brilliant and a good night was had by all.
All the children on site were very well behaved and polite and noise was minimal at all times of day and night. The campsite is centrally located for Scarborough, Filey, Whitby, etc and a great base for your holiday. I had a great time and would come back if in the area.
All in all a good holiday maybe a tad expensive compared to other sites.
We were there for one week Saturday to the following Sunday and we had a great time, even though there were only myself and my wife we found lots to do, the town itself had lots of pubs and entertainment, we walked most days in to town and to the sea front which we really enjoyed even in the rain, got the taxi back which cost no more than £6, the boro taxi lads were great.
There's no bus stop out side the site but this did not bother us at all.
The toilets and showers were very clean and well stocked ( toilet rolls, hand wash etc)the pub was great, the bar staff were very friendly and a good laugh.
The shop was a little low on stock. But you had the major super markets just a 5 min drive away.
All in all this is a great site and we are looking forward to returning very soon. Try it yourself I think you will really enjoy it.
