On arrival we were escorted by warden in a golf buggy to our pitch, (pay at reception for your electric token) and you need £10 for barrier card which is returned on leaving, electric cost us two quid for two nights.
Staff very helpful, toilets and showers best we have used up to now,always clean and tidy. Pitch size good, plenty of water points and bins, washing up facilities, small amusement arcade for kids, good sized pool (indoor), well stocked mini market, gas bottles refills available, fresh bread and pies in a morning yummy, ten pin bowling above pool area, large pub with family room and adult only room too, good ales on tap.
Apart from one or two couples getting a bit loud with the music, would recommend this park 8 out of 10, we will return. Reception will give cash back if you buy something from counter for a £1.
This is our favourite site and it has something for everyone. The kids love the play area, separate fenced off area for younger children so they can play safely and lots of space alongside for ball games etc.
Flower of May is about a 15 minute drive from the hustle and bustle of Scarborough or 5 minutes from quieter Filey. The paddock for tents is nicely sheltered unlike some of the nearby sites where you are pitched on a cliff top and open to the elements. On booking in you are taken to your pitch by the warden, if you are camping in a group check in together so you can be sited together.
The on-site facilities we just can't fault, toilets and showers are cleaned regularly with plenty of free hot water in the showers. In the ladies shower block closest to the paddock there is a mirrored room with sockets so you can take a hairdryer etc. as well as the showers there are also individual dressing cubicles and for families with younger children there are a few family rooms with shower, toilet and hand basins. The washing up room is indoors again with free hot water there is also a baby change room.
The on site shop is well stocked and reasonably priced, a Morrison's is about a 10 minute drive away at Eastfield and Filey has lots of small shops as well as a few supermarkets. The cafe on the site is open daily and the chip shop is well worth a visit and can highly recommend it.
The children enjoy the fun sessions in the pool, although you do pay extra for this, and there is also a small amusement arcade with bowling etc. There is also a club house with cheesy entertainment and an adults only bar upstairs. Last year they added a chillout room for teenagers where they could go watch a film or just have their own space.
The thing that I love about this place is the view you get of the Wolds, nothing better than sitting with an early morning cuppa watching the site wake up ah bliss.
I think what makes this site too is the security barriers, you pay a refundable deposit of £10 for your card and somehow that makes you feel safer.
The site is very well cared for and wardens patrol regularly but we have never had any bad experiences on here and try to go as often as we can, in fact off tomorrow for the weekend.
We first stumbled across this site in august 2008 after always holidaying at Primrose Valley (a little further down the coast).
We LOVE-LOVE-LOVE this site.
Your pitched in a block with aprox 10 other caravans and weve never had a bad experience. The pitches are hard standing with your awning on stones and rocks so sleeping in the awning is not advised.
The site entertainment hasnt changed in 2 years -still with the silly magician, and dave marshall the d.J and the oscar club girls doing party dances and disco.
But the kids love it and it gives us parents a bit of peace ha-ha. The on-site chippy is delicious and very reasonable, we liked it that much we've booked again for next aug2010 and cant wait.
I loved our stay here. There are all the facilities one would expect from a holiday site of this type and size. All clean and well kept throughout. No free for all as on booking you are allocated a specific pitch. However we weren't happy to be placed under trees but it was no problem. We got another pitch that was just great. The electric hook up makes a difference and there are plenty of these.
On site play area that the kids thought was 'pretty cool' and a club and small chippy on site too.
The location is wonderful as it is nicely sheltered but 5 minutes walk and you are on the cliffs. There is no beach but from there you can go to either Filey or Scarborough with very good beaches.
This is without doubt a beautiful site with absolutely everything you could possibly need. The only problem is the size of the pitches they give you.
Even though the tent field is big, they only let you have pitch size 5mx5m and just enough space for a car. Your neighbouring tent is right on top of you. We had an average sized family tent (Vango Orchy 500) when we visited last year and it just about fitted in the allocated pitch.
We still enjoyed staying on the site and the toilets/showers are immaculate.
We now have a slightly bigger tent and know it will be too big for the pitch they provide. It's still not a massive tent but it is 5.8m long so there is no way it will fit on their small pitches which is a shame because it is a lovely site.
The town close by is a good night out too but the taxi's are a bit on the expensive side considering the short distance they have to drive to get you there and back. The pubs in town are good and quite busy, we really enjoyed it there.
Going to the beach was a good day out too with lots of things for the children, i.e donkeys, amusements and boat rides.
We stayed at the Flower Of May and overall had a nice stay
Firstly, we got placed on a really small patch with rocks and stones everywhere, which is where we had to put the awning and three people had to sleep on the hard rocks, which caused two airbeds too burst.
Then after paying £33 a night, we were greeted with electricity cards which cost us £15 for 6 days.
The entertainment was run my two teenagers who don't know what they're doing, all kiddies disco all night, then last hour music is played, no sort of entertainment at all.
Played pool, have to put a £5 deposit down, bar staff lost our deposit and we had a half an hour argument with them to get the £5 back, so do get a receipt for your deposit !
Shop, chip-shop very good, sells all the basics, chippy open until half 11 which was good.
Pub shuts at 11. :|
Swimming pool was alright, £2.50 charge to enter though.
Nice site, ruined a bit by teenagers.
Filey itself was lovely, so many places to visit, heartbeat country, robin hoods bay, Scarborough, Filey, Flamingo land is excellent definitely recommend it. :) Bridlington beach was lovely. :) dogs are allowed on that beach also.
One night we actually went to the pub on next doors campsite, which was a lot better however very small. Ended up going to scarbrough at night because pub was so bad, although great speed boat ride in scarbrough only £2. Recommended. :)
Just spent a full week, must be our fifth or sixth time now at this site. Warden showed us to our pitch and if you are lucky like us you can choose you're pitch. PLenty of room for our Vermont M and side canopy plus loads of space in front of the tent.
Toilets and showers were always spotless, water very warm, pity this gets spoilt by people who like to write their names on the doors without pens.
All in all a great site with excellent facilities, but be prepared to pay extra for electric, other sites give it for free.
And a final word to the dog owners, clean up after your dog, take it to the designated area to do the business not directly outside people' tents, personally I think they should be banned from campsites.
We asked to be put on the triangle - as two units on and all 3 electric pitches were empty, told for disabled only, these electric pitches were empty for 8 of our 10 nights and in that time only 1 disabled person was placed on here and did not require electric !
We were placed in the paddock, many of the pitches were packed so tight as some could not park cars safely at the side
We had friends up from outside of london on the Thursday for a long weekend, a tent arrived around 9pm and kept all awake until after 2am with a young child running 'wild' and older children/teens creating a fire on the grass throwing aerosol cannisters on the fire !
Wardens appeared next day and appeared to remove them from the site - damage already done.
Office site not too friendly, though wardens did keep site sorted after the Thursday night problem.
Last moan - the triangle toilets were not up to the same standard as the others, found plugs in sinks with water left running on numerous visits, yes not the sites problem, but if you just want money and accept certain types then damage will result - costing more in the long term!
To end on a positive note, the kids had a great time we even managed to get some decent weather, shop is very good, excellent dog walk, site is very clean and Magic Mike is still keeping the kids happy (though they enjoyed him more when on his own). Splash Fun sessions are good fun but were on 1 occasion too full and certain adults were in danger of risking younger children's safety.
This could be a lovely site, however I feel the staff let it down.
The site has a lovely park area, the best I have seen yet but we experienced quite a few teenagers spoiling this with there foul language and gathering in intimidating groups which I feel should be monitored really.
The top end of the park is definitely the nicest area but I think this is kept for the longer tourers as there is much more space.
There is a supermarket which stocks everything you need although there is a Morrisons just a short drive away.
We took our little cocker spaniel dog which they charge you to take, however there wasn't a single place that you could tie them up if you wanted to pop into the leisure centre or shop which I found very odd. I did ask where I should tie her and the man in the leisure centre told me to tie her to a freestanding flimsy bike rack which she would have pulled on top of her. Not very helpful at all. The night time kids disco was run by a couple of unenthusiastic teenagers which had no initiative at all but there was a magician who put on a good show a bit later on in the night.
This campsite resembled a refugee camp during the two weekends of our week stay. No room for kids to play in front of tent. Much too close to our neighbours. Very noisy but did quieten down at about 11.
We had booked 2 months in advance but were given the worst pitch on sharp stone! We had no choice but to set up but as our tent was in danger of getting holes in we moved the next day to a better pitch - what a nightmare and not what you want to be doing on a glorious bank holiday Monday.
Showers/toilet block - lights never came on when it was dusk, door locks not working, showers not working, not enough sanitary bins.
Washing up facilities - 4 sinks great 2 plugs - not so great.
Positives - the children's playground is fab and great for any age. The pub at the bottom of the road The Plough is lovely. Onsite entertainment ok. Pool nice. Fish and chip shop and cafe were really good. Shop the best we have seen with fresh croissants and pies/pasties and roasted chickens.
Location of the campsite is the best thing about it as only 10 mins from the marvellous Filey. Electricity - a £5 token lasted us a week so don't worry about it.
We booked for the bank holiday weekend. The camp was very busy. Unfortunately we were pitched next to a group of four tourers who had no respect for other campers. They partied well into the night while their children were running riot !For two nights running the wardens came and told them to keep the noise down, I can only summize that they had been told to leave if they continued as things improved dramatically from then on. A big thank you to the wardens!
We had fantastic weather while we were there so all things considered we had a lovely time. The camp is of a very good standard if a little pricey. You have to pay for your electric via a card, however when you go and book in at the reception don't buy your card until you've pitched because sometimes there is still credit and you cant get a refund if you buy a card.
I would return again perhaps not on a bank holiday maybe when it's not as busy.
Have been to this site several times in the past - and yes, its good, BUT they are in serious danger of pricing themselves out of the tourer market - the extra tenner for electricity is just the last straw - its good , but not that good ! We have also recently visited the newly refurbed Haven site at Reighton and found it to be every bit as good as the Flower of May , with free electric and good sized pitchese.
Stayed here over bank holiday weekend in a tent with no electric, enjoyed it so much stayed an extra night. First time at this site and it was fantastic, although the pitches are quite small there is no room to play any games by the tent the park is only yards away from the tent field. Football matches and cricket were constantly played all day long and our 2 boys 10 and 9 had a fantastic time. Toilets and showers were fine didn't have to queue although the park seem to be full to capacity. All the staff were very friendly, the chip shop did fantastic food, the small shop sold fresh bread which was delicious. A short journey to Filey (2 miles) or Scarborough (4 miles) where you can enjoy the lovely beaches. A Morrisons is about 5 mins drive away through Cayton if you want more of a choice. Would definitely return to this site which has got to be one of the cleanest, friendly, well run sites we have visited.
We have just returned from a 3 night bank holiday break at the Flower of May and what a wonderful break it was too. It was our first time at this site and will definitely not be our last, in fact, we are hoping to book another visit in the next month or two.
There was plenty to do for the children and in fact both our boys commented that they loved the site and its facilities. There is an excellent play area for the children, which was exceptionally clean, a swimming pool on site, a small arcade, a spacious family bar with entertainment every evening. There is also an Adult only bar.
There is an area for dog walking and a coastal walk to the nearby beach which has a surf shop.
The pitches were close to all amenities, and there were several toilet/shower blocks spread around the site. The showers were nice, clean, spacious, warm and free!.
The electricity on site is metered, however, it is cheap. We only used £6.00 for the 3 nights and we used the electricity as we normally would.
The site was exceptionally clean, we not only saw the staff but also the wardens picking up any odd litter. We found the wardens were extremely friendly too.
What a wonderful camping site. This is one of the best camp sites we have visited, the pitches are well spaced out (although the number of tent pitches seems significantly reduced to enable more room for tourers), flat and clean.
The playground is very large and well kept with lots of variety to keep the kids entertained, bars are very nice and clean and the entertainment good.
Toilets and showers are clean and warm as always, and its good to have reasonably priced shop, cafe and chip shop on site.
On the whole a very much loved holiday destination for our family. However, I would like to mention the fact that on top of the pitch price we also had to pay for an electric meter card, this proved to be rather expensive and a little bit off putting when thinking about booking for the future as it cost us £5 per night to keep the tent warm for our children.
