Date of Visit: March 2015 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Anntilburn 6 reviews from this member

 Just returned home after two nights stay here. We parked on one of the four new hard standing motorhome pitches these were very good, convenient for shower block etc. The only drawback was that we were told they are level, they aren't, were told to reverse on but needed to pull in and use levelers to get anywhere near the level needed.

The toilets and showers were very good, cleaned regularly ( in fact every time I visited them the cleaner was in cleaning or just leaving!). The showers were hot and fairly easy to use, push button controlled, could have done with somewhere to sit to finish dressing if you were infirm but fine for able bodied.

Booking in process was fast and efficient, wifi worked well ( remember to ask for code when booking in), there is a deposit of £10 required for key to toilets etc but that's returned when you give key back in.

The shop wasn't open yet as season not started but club house was open. The club house was fine, drinks ok and not over priced. It wasn't too busy but I expect that changes during busy seasons.

We had our dog with us and as stated previously although welcome on site not welcome in club house.

We walked the cliff path to Whitby twice with the dog, this is a good steady walk and brings you to the Abbey where you have to walk the 199 steps down or the donkey road ( I wouldn't advise the donkey road to come back up or at all if wet!). The climb back up the steps is a pull but manageable with several seats to rest if required then back along the cliff path. If you don't like heights the cliff path is close to the edge at times but my husband managed ok despite fearing heights. There are lots of taxis available in whitby and reception will give you a list if necessary, these will take you back to site if climb is too much for you!

We also took the path from the site down to the beach, again loads of steps and very steep but the beach is deserted and great for dog walking.

Would probably return but not in high season as we like peace and quiet which we got at this time of year.

Reviewer: Maxmeg 1 review from this member

 We have stayed at this site 4 times previously, but each time much earlier in the season so the bar not usually been open. On this occasion we visited early july with friends, and were treated to some great weather. The first night we thought it would be nice to sit in the garden at the rear of the club, only to be told we could not go through the club with the dogs. This is the only way to the garden I was informed. When I asked the gentleman behind the bar (who was by the way very rude)what we were supposed to do, he said we should take our drinks out front. There were six of us and two chairs. While we STOOD outside with our drinks we were treated to the site of a group of children kicking a football at surrounding caravans. I have always found the people on reception, in the shop, and the wardens friedly and helpful, only takes one unhelpful and rude person to spoil the reputation. I pay extra for my dog and expect to be able to use the facilities provided. This wont stop me visiting again because it has many good points, but have to agree with some of the reviews about standards for the price paid

Reviewer: P90tac 14 reviews from this member

 Lovely greeting on arrival you need to leave £10 deposit for toilet key you are shown to your pitch you have to pitch a certain way we had sea view which was lovely toilets and showers were clean and plenty of them, shop and cafe on site reasonably priced there is also a club house on site but we didn't use this.

Lovely park for the kids plenty of water points washing up area was clean and HOT water. A very clean well maintained site.

Lovely coast path down to whitby we managed with the buggy few steps but was ok.

Humble pie cafe is very good and at £6. 99 a potion you can't complain baby dish was free you can even get a beer from the pub over the road highly recommend food and service is great!

Plenty of fish and chip places. Of course

Few boat trips out to sea for the kids lovely town

Will visit this site again

 Lovely site good location with sea views, friendly club only stayed midweek so no evening entertainment, nice walk into whitby plenty of dog walking so ideal for those with dogs. Toilets were very clean only 1 little snag the showers were not warm enough for me will definitely return and recommend to all. 


Date of Visit: May 2014 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Netpalmer 2 reviews from this member

 It wasn't a surprise on our arrival as I was told on booking there was a £10 deposit for the toilet/shower key and our pitch was quite unlevel.

We were shown to our pitch on a Hill and it took quite some time to get the jockey wheel down to the floor and get the van level raising the back end using blocks of wood provided by the site near the site wardens caravan.

This site is great for the kids as the cliff top is fenced off securely, kids went off to play play area but unfortunately were put off by other kids swearing and not letting others play.

We walked the cliff top into Whitby and got fish n chips (watch out for the electric fences with the kids) then went crabbing with fishing lines off the harbour wall.

The cliff path down from the campsite is great for rock pooling but watch the tide coming in.

The on site shop didn't stock much, there is a cafe, family clubhouse and amusement on site but the clubhouse was closed when we went for a look so drove into Whitby to play in the amusements.

The showers and toilets were ok and clean.

Overall we liked the site and would visit again as access to Whitby was ideal.

 We have just returned from a 2 night stay on a cliff top touring pitch at Whitby holiday park.

The views are spectacular and the site is very well presented.

It is a little on the expensive side but the facilities are good. A little café and a clubhouse that accommodates families. There is a nice kids play area and a friendly atmosphere all round.

The showers are ok but a raised area or more hooks needed for clothes as you tend to have to put your clothes on the floor while you shower and they are the silly push button type that give you a 30 second blast if you are lucky but that is commonplace.

The walk into Whitby itself is lovely but a bit uneven in places and I imagine on a day of bad weather quite bleak but luckily for us the weather was fine and the walk great.

The stumbling block for us returning is we tend to go away in a group and some of our party have a tent which for one reason or another this site does not allow.

Overall though very, very good. 


Date of Visit: March 2014 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Bestyman 48 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for a weekend in late March in a motorhome.

The charge for me, the wife and a small dog was £21 per night and this included 16 amp electric hook up and WIFI. As it was a quiet time of the year we were fortunate to get a pitch right on the cliff top with a sea view, but I would imagine these pitches go quickly at busy times.

On arrival we were given a warm welcome and shown to our pitch and explained where everything is. There is a £10 refundable deposit for the toilets and shower key.

The site has a bar, café, grocery shop, launderette and kids play area. We were expecting a noisy site, but in fact the site was very quiet and peaceful, perhaps because it was low season. We didn’t see any tents there and perhaps they are not allowed as their website makes no mention of them.

The toilet and shower block was modern and clean. It was nice that the central heating was turned on. Lack of space/ hooks to hang clothes up was the only minor issue here.

We like the location of the site. From the site you can walk down some steps down the cliff to a dog friendly beach (steps near site entrance).

To get to Whitby is about a 20 minute walk along the cliff top, get to the abbey then go down the 199 steps starting at the old graveyard. At the bottom of the steps you will find Whitby. To get back on both evenings we got a taxi. Taxis were easy to find (if stuck head for the train station), didn’t mind taking our small dog and charged £6 -£7. Near the train station there is a large Co-op supermarket where we stocked up on food and booze before getting straight in a taxi.

We found plenty of things to see and do in Whitby. All the pubs are dog friendly and are of the traditional type where I felt most comfortable drinking real ale.

Anyhow, back to the site. Check out was (a slightly too early) 10 am. Plenty of places to refill with water and empty the loo. Large fenced off bin area for the rubbish / recyclables.

Overall a fantastic site. Slightly on the expensive side, but if you want a great location, free WIFI and the other facilities this is the going rate. We will certainly return.

 Just spent four nights at this site. It is a lovely site, very clean with great views and good coastal walks. About 20 mins walk to Whitby. The club on the site was very nice. We didn't use the toilet/shower block but where told that they where very clean, cleaned four times a day. The staff where very helpful. There is plenty to do in Whitby, loads of good pubs and eating places. Heartbeat country just a short drive away. The steam train and boat rides are a must. We would use this site again.

Reviewer: Tojomccann 2 reviews from this member

 We booked this site for the Whitby Regatta which takes place in August. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The shop supplies all your basic needs, milk bread etc, also some caravan stuff. A cafe is on site where you can get home cooked meals or sandwiches etc. And it doesn't cost the earth, even did a Gluten free meal for us. The toilet block is lovely and clean and gets cleaned on a regular basis, you have your own key for which you pay a deposit. There is a nice bar with a friendly atmosphere. You can play bingo most nights and this is usually followed by live entertainment. A playpark is situated on site and this is well used. We have 2 dogs and there are some good walks in the area. Whitby Abbey, which is visible from the site, is about a 10 minute walk. There are some beautiful sunsets to see over the Abbey. Fish and chips are a must when you visit the town and I would recommend The Silver Street Fisheries, Silver street on the west side, the fish are huge. There are many pubs to choose from and restaurants too. A visit to Goathland (Heartbeat) is a must. Also Eden Camp, Malton is worth a visit, this was a POW camp during WW2. There are many other attractions to suit all tastes in the surrounding area. Needless to say we have booked up for August 2014. I recommend this site.

 Just returned from a 7 night stay here and have to agree with previous reviewer about the site going slowly downhill, the showers, whilst clean, are well used and very small [some have no hooks to hang clothes], and no plugs in any of the basins [its small things like this that make a difference]. The pitches can be very uneven although we had pre-booked a cliff top pitch [106] and this was ok and the views were stunning the only problem we had with our pitch was people constantly walking around our caravan[one chap seemed to think he was on a dealers forecourt as he appeared to be viewing everyones vans!] clubhouse was ok [good pint for £3] and the kids seemed to be enjoying themselves. 30 min walk into whitby but not for the elderly or infirm and £6-£7 for a taxi back. This is our 3rd stay here and we love whitby but I think we'll try a different site next time as £221 for 7 nights is a bit steep for a basic electric pitch when you can get a serviced pitch cheaper on other sites

Reviewer: Bcraggs 4 reviews from this member

 Returned again to this site as its location is just about perfect. Club house prices were reasonable and cafe shop ok too. Kids park is better than most and the views are stunning (pitch 108 is a gud un). It is a good site however a few issues need to be addressed. The access to its local beach is spoilt by the dog owners. There is shxx everywhere. This is also the case on the site itself with owners allowing dogs to run freely around the caravans and not cleaning mess up. The warden does not seem to do a great deal at all. The site is not cheap due to its location but seems to attract some strange campers! the toilet block is cleaned regular but has that smell from the drains rising through the showers. I have sung the praises of this site in the past but cannot help but feel it is heading in the wrong direction. With long grass around the seasonal tourers and some great wildlife growing off the algae covered vans! its just starting to look messy and unclean. Come on owners/wardens mabey your rules need to be enforced a bit.

 We have just got back from a lovely holiday at whitby caravan park. Had a lovely pitch overlooking the sea. Very clean toilets and showers. Staff very friendly and a special thanks to the owners for their local knowledge and recommending places of interest. There are some very good coastal walks and a very pleasant 20 minute walk in to whitby where fish and chips are a must and a very good pub at the bottom of the 199 steps called Duke of York. We plan to go back next year.

Reviewer: Martsbaby 1 review from this member

 We have come back today after a weekend on this great site. I agree that it's windy and little unlevel in parts. However after saying that the site is fantastic. We found it well kept, very clean and with friendly staff. We had a nice pitch that looked towards the sea, can't get better than that.

We didn't have time to visit the club but we had a lovely breakfast in the cafe. We basically used the site to visit Whitby which is one of our favourite places - and you couldn't ask for a better site!

We will be back - and very soon!

Reviewer: Elc13 7 reviews from this member

 We visited this site last august and booked quite last minute so were only able to get a pitch with a sea view which cost extra per night. We were a little concerned we were being fleeced, however it turned out to be the best pitch on the site in our opinion and it was well worth the extra money.

The pitch itself wasn't hard standing and was a little lumpy in places although this really wasn't much of a problem for us, especially when one of our neighbours kindly offered us a hand to push the caravan up and out of a dip! The shower facilities were clean and there were plenty of showers and wash basins available so we didn't have to queue at all. We consciously didn't visit the club but we were far enough away from it for the noise not to bother us at all. In fact the site was lovely and peaceful. There was a small park for kids and we have it on good authority from our son that it was great. In fact we struggled to get him out of it at times!

We were blessed with fantastic weather but I could imagine that if the weather wasn't so great it might get a bit windy as the site was quite exposed in places. However, this meant that there were great views of the sea and also the abbey, and we were lucky enough to see some fantastic sunsets.

Whitby itself was either a good walk or a short drive away and the site seemed ideally located for exploring the surrounding coast. All in all, this site was a definitely winner for us and our seven year old has requested we visit again this year!

 Stayed here for the regatta weekend. Super location but can get a bit windy at times. I haven't been blown about as much since I was last in the Far East (no jokes please. ).

Nice to see the grass nicely trimmed across the whole site. Shop very fairly priced and the little cafe did a mean bacon roll - good, fun staff too.

Couple of downers: pitches are tighter than a nun's habit; and a good number of the caravans were absolutely manky. One turned up on the Saturday eve looking like it had been dragged out of the bottom of a greener than the Emerald City pond.I almost phoned David Bellamy to tip him off that a whole PhD in universal eco-systems had presented itself in a 10' square chance of a lifetime.

Anyway, not really a reflection on the site per se but does allude to a certain standards deficit on the part of the owners.

Ho hum - what a snob I have become as I slip insouciantly into my 50s.
