 Stayed for 3 nights Saturday to a Tuesday, the site was almost full over the weekend and quieter Monday and Tuesday but throughout it remained quiet and relaxing.
The shower block is very clean, with piped music and flowers and liquid soap and hand cream, plus a privacy shower room/ family bathroom.
There was a cosy little garden house with the wifi and tourists info which was popular.
There was an excellent indoor kitchen and laundry with everything in you could possibly need.
The views were really lovely and the pitches were very generous.
Wouldn't recommend for families as nothing for the kids really but for adults it's lovely. It was well maintained the staff were polite and friendly, just left you to it unless you had a problem which we never. The village is not really a tourist location but Runswick is walkable distance with a nice pub The Runswick Hotel which the locals were friendly. The meat pie was absolutely fab.
We had a great walk to Sandsend with beautiful views of the coast. Visited Whitby which was quaint and had nice shops and cafes, with easy parking.
Would I visit this site again it's a definite possibility.
Well done to the staff keep up the good work. 10/10

Beautifully maintained and serviced site. Toilets, showers etc the cleanest and best provisioned we've ever stayed at. Nice little facilities/information room with sofas, wifi books etc. Staff very helpful and friendly. Site very tranquil and restful. Site well situated for Whitby and the coast.

Very pleasant site with attention paid towards the design of the facilities.
We loved the quirky touches around the site, including mosaics and a very comfortable bathroom area with piped radio during the day.
The site was fairly full when we visited, and I had a very short wait once for the loos at peak changeover time in the morning, otherwise no problem.
We really appreciated the indoor pot-washing facilities. Very clean with a nice view out of the window.

A lovely site with friendly owners!
There are separate areas for tents, vans and seasonal pitches, all well tended. The buildings and pathways are all well maintained and the approach is lovely. There is a comfortable Wifi/information shed and the washing room even has a kettle and microwave. Toilets were clean and to a good standard.
Our one criticism is that there are only 6 showers (2 in the mens, 2 in the ladies and 2 separate). We get up very early and shower before 7am so had no problems, but I can imagine queues at busy times.
The site is actually in the centre of the village so no need to drive. The bus from Middlesbro' / Whitby goes through Hinderwell and stops close to the entrance (£5. 20 for an adult from Whitby, dogs are free).
There is an excellent pizza/pasta/coffee shop and takeaway just 100 yards from the site and two pubs.
Both pubs take dogs although the Badger Hounds didn't have real ale on Thursday night as apparently they 'only have it at the weekend'. The landlady obviously knew nothing about beer and was surprised when we declined bottled ales.
The Brown Cow looks more dated but we received a very friendly welcome. It is obviously the locals pub but we felt very welcome and were told by others the food was good.
From the back of the site you are straight onto a track to exercise dogs and you can walk inland directly from there.
If you want to do the Cleveland Way you walk down the high street then 3/4 of a mile down a quiet lane to Runswick Bay. The path follows the beach (but not at high tide) and it's about 7 miles to Whitby. Alternatively it is about 1/2 a mile North to Port Mulgrave and a further mile to Staithes.
A lovely sight and we will definitely return.

What a fantastic find this site is. Facilities are spotless, free wi-fi, local radio in the washrooms was good for weather reports and traffic. The pizza's in the village are amazing, two pubs, chip shop and butcher. We will certainly be back. The ground in the touring caravan/motorhome field is slightly uneven (looks like ancient ridge & farrow) so take levelling blocks. Runswick Bay is a 15 minute walk, Whitby 10 miles by clifftop. The food and service at the Cliffemount Hotel is not as good as it could be! Other than that a fabulous campsite with brilliant wardens in a lovely area.

Nothing much to add about the campsite that others haven't already said, lovely place! Just a point to note is that the Badger Hounds pub across the road has not had a chef since before Christmas and so are only serving Sunday lunches.
We'd hoped to eat there having had a lovely meal last year but instead walked to the local butcher for supplies and cooked in.

Lovely quiet site, stayed for a week with hubby and dog. Good area for walking and very dog friendly. Pub near the entrance of the site also allowed dogs. Good base for Staithes, Runswick Bay Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay. All site amenities very good and would definitely recommend a visit.
On our first day one of our camping chairs broke and the warden let us borrow one of his for the rest of our stay. Lovely friendly site.

The site was lovely and quiet. Early in the morning it was so peaceful and seeing all the ducks walking around the site was lovely. We were so pleased that dogs are allowed on the site as well. We had the lovely Sands end beach about 4miles away which has a big dog friendly part.
I work with small children and for me I wanted a quiet peaceful break and that is exactly what I got. The children on the site were extremely well behaved.
The warden and his wife were extremely helpful and friendly but were not in your face. They told us about the local amenities such as beaches/pubs/fish shop/café.
There was a lovely fish shop in the village about 5 mins walk
As well as a lovely café the Runcible Spoon. The owner of the café was very friendly and she made and sold some lovely cakes and more. I loved the kitchen area which was very clean and I also loved the little tourist information lodge where the internet could be accessed/pick up leaflets/borrow a book to read. We will definitely be going back and I would recommend it for a peaceful break

Stayed at Serenity Campsite last week for the first time. Was welcomed by the very friendly owner who showed us to our pitch and the facilities. Pitches are on a slight slope but not too much of a problem.
It's nice to have the chickens walking around the site but the excrement they leave around the tents not so nice. Fresh eggs are available for purchase from the Site office. Toilets and showers are very clean, as are the washing up facilities and WiFi hut, where there are a good selection of tourist information leaflets, a selection of books and magazines and some comfy sofas to sit on and check your emails etc. My only complaint would be for the disabled wash room which is a necessity for one of our group ( and one of the main reasons we booked this site ). Unfortunately the disabled facilities is a shared Family / disabled room. On most occasions my friend had to queue to use the facility which was being used by a fully able bodied adult who could have used the main showers. To make it worse this room was locked at night which caused some problems. People with disabilities still have them at night. I would suggest a radar key lock be fitted for use at night and a strict message for the conditions of use on the door.
This aside, we had an enjoyable stay. Shame we had poor weather but that can't be helped.

Having not visited this part of the UK before, we decided this year to spend a week in the area. We found the site was ideally suited to what we wanted i. E the facilities were clean, it was quiet, the location was superb, the owners were friendly and more than willing to help with any queries.
Even though there were quite a few staying while we were there, it did not feel crowded or busy (I think this is probably down to the layout of the site).
Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend a visit.

Just returned from a fantastic few days away at Serenity for our anniversary. It was our first time at this site and first time glamping and we loved it that much we extended our stay by a further night (would have been more but unfortunately we have work the next day).
The Bell Tent we stayed in was absolutely brilliant. All you need to bring is bedding and towels, everything else is included. What was a brilliant touch is a welcome pack with milk, fresh eggs from the chickens on site, teacakes (delicious) and biscuits. The bed was comfy and the only noise came from the cockeral in the morning and the ducks (definitely not a complaint t)! It was great having g the ducks and little ducklings wandering up to our tent.
The site itself is spotlessly clean and whilst I had no mobile signal on site it was actually a welcome relief and there is an information hut with free wifi for those missing the Internet so badly. The toilets and showers again were spotlessly clean as well as the washing up room which also had a fridge/freezer fot campers as well as a microwave and washer and dryer.
All in all its a great little gem and a great base for exploring the coast line. Hinderwell is a lovely little village with two pubs, a chippy, shop and butcher and further down there is Staithes which has a coop and of course Runswick Bay, Sandsend and Whitby and beyond. The walk from Hinderwell to Runswick is lovely and you can always get the bus back should the steep hill tire you out too much on the climb back up!
The couple who run the site are very nice, friendly and have a wealth of local knowledge and are always around should you need anything.
Thanks again for a wonderful stay and we'll hopefully be back soon.

Just had a very enjoyable week at Serenity. Very impressed with the site, facilities and very friendly owners and staff. Site immaculate, nice cabin/lounge with WiFi, charging points, books. Best kitchen area/facilities and shower room I've come across in many years camping. Loved the resident ducks and chickens. Great location for walking to Staithes and Runswick Bay, lovely area of the country. Will be back.

We just loved this campsite. The facilities were spotless, the campsite was very well maintained with lots of flowers and attention to detail. The information hut with wifi was very useful. Although it is not stated as an adults only site we did not see one child. Serenity it was, so peaceful. Cant wait to return. Our favourite site by far.

We have just returned from 2 weeks at this wonderful site. It is a quiet site with lovely views of the surrounding countryside. We had a serviced pitch which had the best views, although probably not for people with a large awning. The owners and the wardens are lovely - so friendly and helpful and always around the site. The facilities are first class and as well as the usual toilet/shower block has 2 wet rooms - one unisex and one solely for families or people with mobility needs. There is a very well equipped kitchen with 3 sinks, fridge/freezer, microwave, washing machine and tumble dryer. Although children are welcome there is no play ground and no ball games are allowed which adds to the peaceful atmosphere. A small cabin is provided near the entrance which has Wi-Fi for the use of campers and also charging points. There are comfy settees and a wealth of local guides. Hinderwell is a nice little village with 2 pubs, a butchers, a fish and chip shop and PO/stores. There is a half hourly bus service to Whitby one way and Saltburn and then Redcar the other. If there are no bus timetables in the cabin the local PO has them. Lovely places to visit locally are Whitby, Runswick Bay, Sandsend and Saltburn. There are also some good walks local along the Cleveland Way. I would thoroughly recommend this site and we hope to return.

We have just returned from a 3 day stay( 2 nights)stay at this lovely site. We opted for the fully serviced grandstanding and it was perfect.
Facilities are very good and clean with extra nice little touches like fresh flowers in the toilets.
It does seem that the owners have given a lot of thought to making the site pleasant and we enjoyed our stay very much.
It is particularly well suited for walking to Staithes, Runswick Bay and Port Mulgrave and the pies from the little local butcher in Hinderwell are delicious!
Very quiet and peaceful as the name suggests.
