Date of Visit: July 2010 Unit:  Static
Reviewer: Vicky rimicans 1 review from this member

 Just returned from a brilliant relaxing week at skipsea. Can't review camp ground as we were in a a static caravan but we went to look round the tent field and did look nice.

From the minute we arrived the staff went out of their way to help us and it only continued like that until we left.

The caravan had everything you need, we normally go camping so nothing to really compare it to - one thing though each time we reported a problem to reception the problem had been sorted before we got back to our caravan.

We were only in the caravan for meal times and sleeping because the teamstars Mark, Darren, Ashley and Racheal were fantastic - the kids were entertained all week - we joined in with quizzes, treasure hunts, music time, skipping, making rockets and the kids loved meeting the bunny rabbit characters. Our kids ranged from 3- 10 and all want to go back again, so do I !

The pool was lovely and warm and the only fault would have been the changing area which was adequate but not great.

There are 2 fantastic play areas, a duck pond with gorgeous baby ducks - don't come here if you don't like ducks! A bowling alley (£2.50 per person for 1 hour). A restaurant / pub that does takeaway ( a bit like a weatherspoons style pub). Food was nice and again staff very friendly.

Not much to do in skipsea - but there is a bus stop on site if you don't have a car.

The shop on site is well stocked and adequately priced - especially the toys which were cheaper than most seaside resorts.

All in all what made our holiday was the staff and the teamstars - Unlike Haven, park resorts seem to remember a holiday is not where you pay and then get there and have to pay out again. This reminded me of what Haven holidays used to be like.

We will def be returning

 Had a great weekend at Skipsea sands. I was very apprehensive when I booked this commercial site but I was very pleasantly surprised.

The pitches are surrounded by hedges on 3 sides making them very private and are plenty big enough for large tents. The warden drove round regularly.

The poole area is great and the reception staff were very helpful. The bar and entertainment complex was always full although we didn't use it ourselves. Shop was very well stocked and a little expensive.

The showers and toilets were well used and always busy but were cleaned regularly. It is pity there is no access to the beach - you cannot get down without driving to Ulrome. I would definitely go back to this site.

Reviewer: Hazeybabes 2 reviews from this member

 Just returned from a 3 night stay at skipsea sands.

Nice weather very hot but very windy the hedges gave little protection glad we had delta pegs the pitches are 10 by 12 and flat.

Entertainment area quite good £2.75 for beer acts quite cheesy but what you expect, chip shop out of main gates a little gold mine.No beach access due to erosion.

Lots of wildlife on site a large duck pond,wood pigeons,lots of rabbits and cheeky birds unfortunately swarms of flies and midges you need your fly screens down, tried going to the local pub and nearby hornsea but the flies got the better of us.

Only 6 showers for all the pitches woefully inadequate and dirty, ladies was shut on the second night due to vandalism.

Noisy at night a lot of swearing and loud music from inconsiderate campers no sign of wardens.

Overall 4/10.

 We were met with a warm welcome an duly given an information pack and directions to the pitch which were straight forward.

Again like others mention the pitch sizes are plenty big enough.

I've marked the site location down as the beach access has gone with coastal erosion (not there fault). But there is little to do other than on site.

We did use the pool which was very good only going as deep as 1.5m but with lots of different activities held throughout the day. I do believe they should use the park and get some outdoor activities organised as the weather was nice an we didn't want to be stuck indoors all day.

Do try the chipshop off site as is really good and nicely priced.

We did again like others have problems with lets say young kids roaming without adult supervision gone 12 and having no respect for those wanting to sleep and also other parties chatting with what seemed a loud speaker when your trying to sleep at now gone 1am.

Ok stay bit wouldn't pay full price to come back unless on 2-4-1 nights like we booked. 


Date of Visit: July 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: The Boardmans 8 reviews from this member

 Just returned from our 2nd weekend at this site this year, having initially tried it in March.

The site itself is really good - great facilities, pool, amusements, bar with great kids entertainment. The touring area isn't as good as others we've stayed on, but as previous reviewers have noted, the pitches are of a good size and are screened with hedges to allow privacy. We usually stay on Caravan Club sites and these just done come anywhere near to that standard.

Unlike the March weekend, this weekend the touring area was understandably full. On an evening it was very noisy, thanks to a number of large groups in neighbouring tourers. No wardens/security visible to help keep things to a reasonable level.

The touring area toilets and showers are not so good. The showers are quite grubby and in need of updating.

Staff are particularly friendly, especially the entertainment and reception staff.

A short drive takes you to a number of coastal towns including Hornsea (don't bother) and Bridlington. Nothing really within walking distance, unfortunately due to coastal erosion there is no longer any access to the beach.

Reviewer: Fluffyelle 7 reviews from this member

 We went with friends for a long weekend in April 2010 ( fri to mon ), and had a lovely time.

The pitches are hedged off for privacy, which we liked. The facilities were clean and tidy, and showers just the right temperature for the kids. Pool is fine, as is the indoor play area and the club house. Our full stay was pleasant and will be going back again. There is a nice pub in the village too that do good value meals and a lovely beer garden at the rear.

Reviewer: Bishy 16 reviews from this member

 We have just returned from a 2 night stay at Skipsea Sands. On arrival we booked in and pitched out tent, on the site it states that pitches are 6m by 6m but they are not, they are very generous and we had plenty of space. The showers however are a different story. The shower has so much power that it almost removes your skin and the whole floor in the cubicles is flooded after, so getting dressed is very awkward. In the entire time we were there the showers/toilets were filthy all of the time and I never once saw a cleaner and it was the same in the gents so my husband told me. On the first night some of the campers decided to party, this was fine but when at midnight they were still hard at it then this was not so fine. I called security at 1.00am and I must admit they were there within seconds, unfortunately they took no notice and they partied till I eventually fell asleep around 3.00am. I called security several times and they did arrive promptly but the party continued so they were pretty useless really. The next day I complained to reception and they assured me that it would not happen again that night. I was meant to be winding down on a weekend break but instead we were all physically exhausted by day 2 and wanted to go home. The 2nd night they were very loud but all went quiet at 11pm which was absolutely fine. So we all could get a good nights sleep. The entertainment was cheesey but the kids enjoyed it,the cost of the beer was reasonable too, and my eldest and her friend who are 15 and 16 loved it. The location was good too, within a short drive from lots of seaside places and there is also a a bus from the site to bridlington every day.

Reviewer: Compassdug 6 reviews from this member

 Just returned from 5 nights at skipsea.

We booked this site with Clubcard vouchers and we where a little apprehensive, as normally big commercial sites like this treat tourers like second class citizens.

With this site it wasn't the case. The touring field was excellent with big pitches and two small toilet blocks. The hardstandings had its own water and waste points.

Everything was very clean and tidy.

The clubhouse, swimming pool and other facilities were excellent but not to overpowering, unlike the big haven sites. We spent the whole time on site as the car broke down and we still didn't get everything done that we wanted to.

I cant comment on the surrounding area as didn't really see any except the beach, which was nice.

Overall I would highly recommend the site, if you have kids its brilliant not sure if Id go without them though.

Reviewer: Crossfire 19 reviews from this member

 This was our final camp for this year, we should have gone the previous weekend when the weather was glorious!

The pitch was great, the best we've had this year. Each allocated area was hedged all around and very flat and well maintained.

Toilet/shower block was heated were okay and clean. As we arrived fairly late, we decided to eat in the bar, the food was lovely and the kids enjoyed it too.

All amenities were good, we even had chance to go swimming!

The only thing that did spoil it was the weather. We were up at 5am rescuing the canopy. This was the weekend when +38mph winds hit the east coast and not to say the last night we spent the night in a caravan.

But after all that, we would return to this site again. Enjoyed it.

Reviewer: Heidi+Paul 9 reviews from this member

 The kids loved it. We were not so sure. Not our thing really with entertainment and slot machines.

Cost us a fortune to live on the site as of course the kids wanted to everything in an evening and join in the competitions

The on site restaurant is okay value wise but I would suggest it is more of a cafe than restaurant.

The kids entertainment in an evening was good to be fair especially 'silly steve' who the kids adored and to be fair managed to make the adults laugh at the same time.

Beware of kids tuckshops and slush puppies every night though

Had a bit of an issue with our neighbours one night as he attacked her with a hammer using language to make you weep and the police and ambulance ended up outside our tent. Not great when you have young children but I guess it could happen anywhere(?)

A different holiday but without doubt one that the children would repeat at the drop of a hat.
