 I visited this site following the reviews on this site and have returned home completely underwhelmed! In short badly lit showers and toilets, staff generally unavailable especially the cleaner, for the two nights and three days we spent on there we never saw one at all! Also when we arrived there wasn't any explanation of the facilities only a request for a £5 deposit for a key card and instructions that it was best not be out after 11pm as the barrier is closed.

Firstly,it was a last minute choice to visit this site due to bank holiday availability. Good value for site fees, and location. The all weather touring pitches are roomy and hard standing. My grandaughters pointed out how filthy the showers were, the male block was worse and no soap in dispensers! Late noise was a problem for us too, a group of kids 10/13 yr old decided to play around the entry barrier shouting and swearing, they were asked to move, but returned later 9.30pm to throw stones at our van. The manager has also banned the use of anything electrical in awnings, i.E. TV's fridges, extra lights, heaters or fans We still had a fab time in Scarborough, and surrounding area none the less, though we will book in advance in the future.

Just got home from a 5 day break at this site.
We found the staff very friendly. A very clean site.
Playground area for the kids, although we didn't have any with us.
Dog walking area in the woods was small but ample to keep the dog happy after being out all day.
We had a very large pitch. Corner plot with Ample space all around. The other pitches were all a nice size with plenty of room for awnings and cars.
The pub was lovely. Food was good and very good value for money.
Large toilets with their own sinks if you just want a strip wash. Showers with plenty of space so you don't feel cramped.
Close to Scarborough. Filey, Bridlington, Whitby etc.
A lovely site which we will definitely visit again.
Good value for money all round. Highly recommended.

A group of 10 of us (2 tourers & 1 tent) visited the site at the beginning of May for the weekend. We where pitched at the top of the site. The touring pitches where level with water and electric points. However it was a bit windy when trying to put the awnings up being at the top of the site. Our friends in the tent where camping almost adjacent just over a mud mound which was handy.
The site itself was good value with a nice play area for the kids. Toilets and showers reasonable however not the cleanest on the Sunday but that was more to do with the users than the cleaners I suspect. Food and drinks are served on site at fair prices.
The only complaint I would make is the fact I was told that due to having a foreign van they would not normally have accepted me on site. Not sure what difference this makes so long as there is adequate space (>3m) between the vans / awnings etc. After talking this through with the owners they stated I could visit again but without the awning. Apart from that the site was nice and I'm looking forward to visiting again in the autumn.

This will be our 3rd year this year going to Jacobs mount I have always found the staff very friendly & helpful. The shower blocks are very clean. Just a small shop but you can buy newspapers, milk & bread. All the touring pitches are hard standing with water taps so no carrying water. A small children's play area. I have never known the site to be noisy. The food to very good. If you want to be surrounded by woodland and quiet then I would recommend it. The site is only about 2 miles into Scarbrough plus easy access by car to the north york moors

Philpin Farm Campsite - Yorkshire Dales
Beautiful tent only site set on a family run hill farm in the Yorkshire Dales, nestled between Ingleborough and Whernside. The Three Peaks footpath runs right through the farm adjacent to the campsite with lots of walks direct from the site from easy strolls to climbing the Three Peaks, and five minutes to the pub!
Tent pitches only, no electric hookups. Toilet and shower block and washing up facilities. Sit, eat and socialise in the old barn, with free wifi, charging lockers, freezer. At weekends the Philpin Snack bar is open for cooked breakfasts, hot and cold snacks and drinks, ice creams, chocolates etc, on other days there are vending machines in the barn. Find out more here

This was our first time camping and we visited this site on the 24/05/09 for 5 nights, the site is aimed mainly at static and touring caravans. There are two pitching areas for tents one in the lower corner for about seven tents and the one were we pitched near the top in-between the touring caravans with enough room for 4-5 tents.
The site is a family run business and they were all very friendly, we visited the onsite pub every night and the meals were good value for example, homemade steak pie chips veg and gravy for £7.00 which is delicious, also the beer was reasonably priced.
In the pub there is also 3 pool tables a few arcade games and on weekend there is some live entertainment.
There is one toilet shower block, which was kept clean, laundry room, family bathroom and pot washing facility. A play area for the kids and a small one for toddlers at the rear of the pub and there is a small onsite shop stocking the basics.
We walked into Scarborough one day and its about 45min walk all down hill, taxi fair back £6.40.
Two small grumble’s, on our return to the site on Monday afternoon we found the we were the only tent left all the other campers had gone home, we thought great except a couple of days lots of kids started to use the area around our tent for ball games and just hanging about, also noticed that all the bins on site were overflowing with rubbish.
We would use this site again but would try the lower camping area next time.

Visited this site 8/5/2009, although most of the pitches had caravans on, the site was very very quiet, we hardly saw many people during the day and the pub was very quiet on the night, so if your looking for a busy park this may not be for you, although it might get busier as it is only May. However if your looking for a quiet retreat this will be heaven.
Not much food variety to choose from off the menu in the on site pub / restaurant but what food we did get off it was good.
Toilet / shower block are adequate although showers poor design mean if some one is showering in block next to you then their mucky water runs through your shower floor as well!
Shop is basic but stocks the things you need, campsite is very clean and kids playpark is ok. Betton farm has a bird of prey centre and the owner was extremely nice in giving us a personal guided tour of the birds, also has the normal farm animals and a play area for kids and tea room is only £3 for adults and £2 for kids, under 2's are free. It's well worth a visit to pass 2 hours of the day and it's only about 2mins from the campsite
The campsite is only about 5mins drive from Scarborough itself. Overall this is a very cheap caravan site to stay which is clean and in good situ to Scarborough and I would recommend it for anyone wanting a peaceful break, I will visit here again.

I have been on this site a couple of times now and find it to be a nice site and good value for money. It has both water and waste points on each pitch and are kept very clean. There is also a children's decent sized play area which my children loved and a smaller one by the pub. The toilets and showers were disappointing as they were not very clean. You are limited to what you can get from the shop as it is very basic and hardly open we found. Apart from those couple of points this is a lovely site for young families or older couples and is only a couple of miles from town.

Really enjoyed our stay at Jacobs Mount, my 5 year old nephew loved the playpark ( age range 4 - 12 there is another playpark for much younger children outside the pub) and the adults enjoyed the excellent service the manager provided. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food in the on site pub was good homemade food and the plastic cow ice cream went down a treat with my nephew.
The pitch we had was on the edge of the site and was close to all the facilities (eg the pub! which was excellent for all the family and had entertainment on the saturday night) I can't comment on the toilet block as I didn't use it but it looked good to me.
The onsite shop is very basic but saying that had all the emergency basics (bread milk chocolate)
The site is the 2 miles away from Scarborough (and the nearest I found to the centre) but down hill all the way so walking can be done, however on the way back I would recommend a taxi unless your into fitness training on your hols.
All the pitches I saw there had there own water and electric hook up and were all very well maintained. One of the nicest parts of the weekend was to sit outside the caravan in the sun and listen to the peace and quiet.
I will definitely visit again thought it was good value family fun.

When I visited Jacobs Mount I could not of been more sceptical about camping, however due to the people running such an excellent facility my three days under canvas was a fantastic experience.
The everyday things you take for granted ie. Toilets, showers etc. Were there just like home and what's more they were free to use.
Site security is well above average with key cards for all entry exit gates. These cards also give you access to toilet / shower block.
We never experienced the food in the clubhouse but were told it was fantastic home cooked but we did sample the beer which was fine and average price.
All in all the site was fantastic and I will be back with my family again.

Stopped here for three nights and really enjoyed it. Not much room for tenters as this is mainly a caravan site although we were made really welcome, it cost £17.50 a night for two adults which we thought was reasonable for the standard of site.
The facilities were cleaned regulatory and there was no problem getting a shower, the only annoying thing is you have to keep pressing the button for the water to come.
Just a minor grumble though. The shop on site was well stocked and the club house was reasonably priced and the food good too. The site is right at the top off the hill and beware if you are not taking a car but just rucksacks as we did, it is a 45 minute walk and the hill is quite steep. However a taxi is only £6 from the railway station. In summary the site is tidy and well kept if a bit off the beaten track.

Despite the weather doing nothing but rain for the whole week that we were there, the staff were very accommodating and friendly! Toilets and shower blocks were kept very clean, despite the rain and mud. We shall definitely be returning again next year..
The meals in the bar were excellent value for money and the Steak Pie was delicious! We look forward to returning in 2009.

Spent a great weekend here two families with two boys aged 8. The kids loved it there best one yet and we've been to a lot. Great play areas clean and safe, good games room with security, bar and lounge good atmosphere with plenty to do. All staff were friendly and helpful.
The showers/toilet blocks very clean and spacious and always hot water. Tent pitches small but just enough room for our tents and cars. All together excellent site and will definitely be returning again and would recommend this to anyone.
Scarborough is lovely lots to do and see we've returned time and time again.

Great site which has good security. The staff were very helpful and polite. Good pitches with hard standing. The shower block lets the site down. The lighting is poor and you have to keep pressing the button every few seconds for the water to come out of the shower. The shower floor was also a bit mucky and could do with a more regular clean and better water drainage. This is the only negative point of a great site. We will definitely return again. Its a great location for the best of coastal needs as well as countryside.

This was only our 2nd camping trip so we're still finding our feet. We found Jacobs Mount via website, read all the reviews and just decided to go for it, and we were certainly glad we did! Thought it was great, kids loved the playground not too far from tent, we were in a small field by ourselves so was excellent for our 2year old, she loved having the whole field to herself!
Not too far from toilet block. There isn't a lot of room for tents, its mainly caravans. Very reasonable price, you cant beat £35 for 2 nights!
There's a shop and pub on site. My only criticism was that the showers didn't drain away very well, and the lighting was a bit dim in shower blocks but apart from that it was a great site and we will definitely be back next time we visit Scarborough!
