Reviewer: G,Winger 6 reviews from this member

 I agree with all the positive reviews here, its a very good site,

I just wanted to make folk aware that a large building project has begun in the very next field to the site,

The diggers are currently right up to the adjoining hedge doing excavations.

A new roundabout has been installed on the field lane to the left of the site entrance.

It will be interesting to see what impact the building works (new housing estate)will have on the site i. E. Views and noise

Reviewer: JMBJWB 4 reviews from this member

 We spent 5 nights at this site and would highly recommend it. The location is great, within walking distance of Scarborough, along the cliff path. The site is extremely well kept and there are many facilities. The toilet block consists of toilets, separate private washing facilities and showers. These were kept immaculate by the staff. The staff were always around and very pleasant and helpful.

We will definitely be returning.

Reviewer: Pam Spencer 1 review from this member

 We visited this site for the first time this year. It is easy to find and not too far from Scarborough town centre.

Staff are friendly and can't do enough to accommodate you.

There are several shower blocks and toilets and the motorhome service point is easy to navigate.

Site offers facilities for kids as well as grown ups, with a chippy/cafe on the site and a pub next door (with a gate leading straight to it).

It is a good 15 min walk to the nearest beach and the site boasts some of the most glorious views of the East Yorkshire countryside.

Reviewer: FrTed 5 reviews from this member

 Scarborough club site has been a regular destination for several years & we have always enjoyed a warm welcome & a pleasant stay. As this site is reasonably local, we often arrive before 12:00 and up to now, have always been warmly welcomed & sited with ease, efficiency & exceptionally pleasant staff. However, it seems the regime has changed in Scarborough & the welcome (such as it was) from the lady on reception (who startlingly turned out to be a senior team member) was at best described as icy. On approaching reception to book in, the greeting was incredibly frosty and sharp; pretty much 'you're too early. It's not 12:00' - how nice! I could understand to a degree if the site had been busy but there were many members of staff around reception chatting. We were grudgingly booked in & were eventually shown the pitch by a very helpful & obliging member of the team which was much more like what we'd become used to. Everyone barring the one staff member was very cheerful & helpful. Such a pity this one person marred the experience. One of the most expensive club sites as well, so you'd expect decent service.

Thankfully, the rest of the stay was very pleasant indeed. The toilet & shower facilities were always clean & water consistently hot. There are 2 kids play areas, a basic but sizeable games room & a separate area for ball games at the back of the site. A very good pub is located on the edge of the site (Scalby Mill) which does a good carvery for just over 4 pounds if the weather turns or you fancy a change from campsite cuisine. Some nice walks along the cliff tops easily accessible from the site. The seafront & Sea Life Centre can be reached on foot or if you enjoy longer walks, Scarborough town or the south bay are good walks, but there are cafes for pit-stops along the way. There is a Tesco Express store just up the hill heading towards town - 2 mins in the car or 10 min walk.

Not sure how this is progressing but when we were there, developers were starting to build on the land next door. We were not disturbed by it on this occasion but may be wise to check when you book.

Reviewer: Suzi1971 19 reviews from this member

 Spent a Saturday and Sunday night here. Lovely open, spacious site. Plenty of space between pitches. Lots of the pitches are sloping but ours was pretty level. Five toilet/shower blocks. Very clean facilities. Had to wait a little to use a shower and use dish washing area but site was more or less full and it wasn't too much of a wait. Across the main road and through two fields (watch for the dog mess) and you're on the edge of the cliffs and can walk into Scarborough on the Cleveland Way or North towards Ravenscar and Whitby. The walk to Scarborough takes about 20 mins and brings you out near the sea life centre. Had chips from the chippy on site but wasn't impressed. It was very windy when we were there but there's some shelter from the trees surrounding the site.

 We stayed on this site for two nights arrived Friday and had a very friendly welcome from the reception staff very helpful and jolly- we were directed to where we were going to pitch our tent there was a group of three of us 2 tents and a motorhome and we were pitched altogether we were near to the toilet blocks which were adequate for our needs clean and well stocked with two showers also some individual cubicles with wash basins also a hairdryer which took 20p coins.

The dishwashing facilities were nice and clean and never encountered any queues for dishwashing or showers. My husband did use another toilet block and said they were much nicer than the ones near us but I have no complaints about the facilities that were near us.

Although this is a very big site we did in no way feel crammed in at all, the site is very well kept no litter anywhere and very well maintained grounds.

There is a Crown Carvery just a very short distance away through a little gate which is cheap and cheerful meals where very reasonable and friendly staff.

There is a bus stop just outside the site and we caught the bus into Scarborough we bought a return ticket the bus on Saturday is approx. 11. 00 am but please be aware that the bus back from Scarborough on a Saturday is at 1. 05pm approx (please do check) which we weren't told by the driver we managed to catch a bus to the Ivanhoe pub and the site is not far really you can cut through the Crown Carvery pub.

There is also a Tesco Express near to the Ivanhoe Pub and a filling station too.

We didn't venture any further than that so cant comment on any other attractions etc nearby.

There is a shop on site also a fish & chip shop which I believe sells other snacks.

All in all we had a lovely stay at this site and would be happy to recommend it and we would most definitely stay there again and take a trip to Whitby.

Reviewer: Graym58 2 reviews from this member

 Agree with the comments re site good spot near all attractions of Scarborough.

A couple of points ask for a pitch away from road as the traffic can be heard late night early morning.

Hard standings are not what I expected i. R. Gravel, they where plastic sheeting under the surface so you are still stepping onto mud if it had been raining.

Good site though

Reviewer: Rusinurbe 1 review from this member

 The site is very well-maintained and all the facilities clean.

It is though a family site with many caravans and camper-vans so if you want the real rustic experience you need to find a smaller place.

We found camping here in August just too busy and wouldn't return this month as kids on bikes everywhere and many unsupervised screeching and shouting and using the toilet walls as a goal during daylight hours so we cleared off 9-late every day where possible. I wore earplugs most of the time.

This could have been a problem of our pitch of course but peace and quiet was very rare indeed.

I think we might go out of season if we could understand the pricing system( pitch price, person price, car price, electricity price) and find a more competitive rate

Reviewer: Amanda mogan 3 reviews from this member

 Visited this site on the second week of the summer school holidays. We (2 adults and 2 teenage boys) visited this site because of i'ts proximity to Scarborough. The site is large but never felt crowded and we never queued for showers, toilets or pot washing and there was no noise after 10. 30/11pm. We pitched on the field behind the barrier which, was level but looking around some pitches are on slight slopes. The shower blocks were clean and warm, the showers were very hot (for me) but perfect for my husband and boys. The ladies shower block I used had a coin operated hairdryer which I didn't use but plenty of people did. There is a room near the laundry which, houses the 2 table tennis tables (take your own bats and balls or purchase from reception) a pool table which, was out of order and a table football which, again was out of order. This room also housed several tables and chairs and a large screen tv if like us didn't take our tv. From the site entrance across a field you can access the Cleveland Way which, takes you down to the Sealife Center a good 20/25 minute coastal walk. You can walk from site along Buriston road into Scarborough past the Tesco express 10 minutes and open air theater and Pesholm Park 20 minutes. Also from site through a gate you can go to the Scalby Manor pub which was busy with meals we didn't eat there but had a few drinks one evening and played pool as the sites pool table was out of order. Going back to the site there is a laundry room which houses 3 large washers and 3 large dryers wash = £3. 50 and 20 minutes dryer = £1. This room also houses a coin operated iron and ironing board. The site is very clean and well run, great site for visiting the attractions of the north east coast we will go again.

Reviewer: Topcat+Dibble 23 reviews from this member

 Arrived on our motorcycle during a downpour and our initial impression was of slight disappointment. In comparison to Woodhall Spa, which we had just left, it felt much larger and commercialized.

We were sited on a slightly sloping pitch at the top of the site which was fine. All facilities as you would expect from a C&C site with a games/tv room.

It is this sites location that makes it so good. There is a pub/carvery next door that is as cheap a chips. There is a cliff top walk to Scarborough North bay which is a must but you can also go by road if the weather is a bit wild(we had 2 days of gales whilst there).

We only intended to stay 3 nights but nearly stayed a week as there was so much to do. Recommended - Scarborough harbour/Old town, Whitby, Eden Camp (if you have a wet day), Filey and Flamborough Head and riding the North Yorks moors via Helmsley and Goathland. Wish we had visited Robin Hoods Bay but ran out of time.

Would definitely stay again if not so far from home(Kent).

Reviewer: Dot P 792 reviews from this member

 We booked this due to its proximity to Scarborough, on arrival we were a little dismayed at the site appeared enormous and chaotic.

Once we had booked in and were taken to our pitch our opinion changed. Well spaced out pitches with reasonably firm grass standings. The view from the arrival doesn't do the site justice. That being said it really is a big site with 200+ pitches.

The facilities blocks were old but very clean and even though site was really busy there were never any queues. Wardens were excellent, considering just how busy they are they do a fabulous job and always appeared cheerful.

The walk along the cliffs to Scarborough South Bay was just over 4 miles, slightly less coming back if you cut through town. The site is just 5 minutes fro the Cleveland Way with brilliant walk up the coast taking to Whitby.

For us it was a bigger and busier site that we would normally choose, for many others it will be about perfect.

 We stayed here for a week & thoroughly enjoyed it the staff were very helpful& always had time for a chat the site was very well maintained & there was even a small takeaway bar that sold fish & chips & breakfast. There is also a crown carvery at the end of the site which comes in very handy if you don't want to cook. There are plenty of places to visit aroud there. Whitby is a lovely little fishing town & very quaint. Pie and mash shop is a must try! will return again to this site.

Reviewer: Irvine45 90 reviews from this member

 We have just returned after the May holiday weekend. The staff were very helpful, although a bit harassed by 'everyone' arriving at once. But we were directed onto our pitch. The hardstanding pitches are covered with grass which I really like (not experienced this before). Was Fab!

The site was very busy and the facilities handled the crowds well. It is very clean and nicely lawned. It was easy to find and a first class site.

Reviewer: Mickroll 2 reviews from this member

 We stayed at the Scarborough Camping and Caravan site to trial run a touring caravan having previously owned a Dandy folding camper. (We had been to the site a few years ago when it was called Scalby Manor Site and run by Scarborough Council. ) The site is easy to find and has good access as well as being very well looked after. Toilets and showers are very clean with plenty of hot water. There is also a laundry and dish washing area. Staff were friendly and helpful - as the site wasn't full, we were given the option to choose a pitch, which was great! A Pub that served lovely inexpensive breakfasts and carveries could be accessed through a gate at the top of the site. (we made plenty use of it although it does get very busy. )If you fancy it, there's a beautiful walk along the cliffs that takes you into Scalby Mills and Scarborough North Bay. The panoramic views of the coastline to the Castle are amazing. Scarborough has a variety of shops both High street and gift. The North Bay with the park and lake is peaceful and tranquil, while the South Bay is lively with amusement arcades and boat trips available from the harbour. The beaches on both bays are kept clean and there is ample parking along the sea front stretching from North Bay to South Bay. We love Scarborough. We've had many happy family holidays in Scarborough and we keep returning to this site.

Reviewer: Truediamond 129 reviews from this member

 Our first trip away in the van this year and our first encounter too with the Club's new pricing policy. We usually spend a few days in Scarborough early on in the season and have paid ~£15/night at this Site with our age concession. This year, we got 5p change from £19/night so an increase of over 25%. The price still seems reasonable compared to other nonclub locations but still seems like a stiff increase. At the same time, the Site team was still opening and cleaning toilet blocks and not all of the facilities were in use. It felt like the Club had decided to cut cost by not giving staff enough time to get everything ready for the season.

We were able to do some good walks, visits to the excellent Stephen Joseph Theatre and trips into town. We'll certainly be back but the Club needs to get its Corporate rather than local site act together.
