Stayed just one night - three of us in a large tent. At £12 I thought it was remarkably cheap for the quality of site. We were met by our friendly host who assigned us a pitch. I was surprised to find the tent pitches were on hard standing (gravel). Never come across this before, although if I'd read the previous review.
There is a small field for small tents at the back of the site and when I asked the owner kindly allowed us to pitch there, although at busy times they would not have the flexibility to do so. I'd recommend you use a footprint if you plan to go to this site with a large tent. Other than that I can't fault it.
Toilet/shower facilities are not new but very clean, although there is a notice saying they only restock the toilet rolls once a day and at busy times be prepared to supply your own.
Showers are 50p which I never understand. Make them free and just add enough onto the pitch prices to cover it.
Overall a good value site and I would certainly return.
This is a lovely site with nice size tent pitches. We had a pitch right at the back of the site on the grass which we liked very much as it seemed more private than the large main area.
The showers were clean most of the time. We found that the best time to go for a shower was early afternoon when they had been cleaned and also most people don't want a shower at that time. At peak times there is a small queue for the loos and showers. You must take your own toilet paper as it does run out. If you are showering with children be prepared to be squashed in the cubicle as there is really only enough room for yourself ( I had 2 children with me). The pressure was not terrific but the temperature was ok if you have kids with you as it was warm and never hot. You do have to pay 50p into a meter every time you want a shower and the three of us did have enough time.
There is a park here which is good with swings, slide, roundabout and climbing frame which kept my little ones amused. There is also a very small shop which hardly sells anything. I think it maybe sells bread, milk and sweets. I went in for sausages but they did not have them. This site as an icepack facility. Just put your icepack into a shared freezer with your name on and you can go backwards and forwards as much as you want.
There is a large pot washing facility which is good.
The walk to the beach is about 10 minutes down quite a few steps so you have to be quite fit.
The site was never loud so is a good site for families with small children.
A lovely campsite. Plenty of hard standing pitches but grassed areas were also available. Shower/toilet block was well maintained. The only drawback was that we were kept awake the first couple of nights as there was a restless dog in the next tent barking through the night. Just a short pleasant walk to the beach which was lovely. This was our fist camping trip as a family and we weren't disappointed. My kids absolutely loved it. We had forgotten a few things and the very helpful Filey people helped us out in finding replacements. Some very good 'bargain' shops in Filey also very nice fish and chips. Would definitely recommend this site for experienced or first time campers.
Attended for seven nights following Aug Bank Hol with two adults and three boys (4, 7 and 9). Very low cost site when we are used to being charged per person on other sites making camping not a cheap option for our large family.
Filey is a wonderful town for those looking for a seaside holiday without all the tacky tourist trappings. It has clean sandy and pebbly beaches with separate bits where dogs are not permitted, a paddling pool, amazing giant fish and chips (Inghams Chippy) and a new addition of a Tesco for all your supplies.
The sea is freezing and very choppy but did not stop my boys with their body boards! This site too complemented the quiet family holiday in it's clean, tidy simplicity.
The beach is in walking distance from the site (but is uphill on the way back!), down a footpath that runs between other sites and past the golf course, bringing you out by the park, boating lake and minigolf.
The site itself is very friendly. The hardstanding - just small gravel ontop of soil so very easy to stick pegs in - for our tent was excellent for keeping things clean and, although we did use a footprint, it was not ripped or torn after seven days.
There is a park with swings, slide, climbing frame and roundabout, as well as grass area for ball games but is really only suitable for school age children.
There is a washing machine and dryer on site that was very cheap (operated by 4 x 50ps) but were small and we had to use Filey's laundrette to wash clothing and bedding and did a huge wash for £4 there.
There is a little freezer for ice packs only in laundrette. The washing up sinks were undercover to side of showerblock but a little to spidery for my kids to stick around! The bathrooms themselves were virtually spider free and lots of toilets, sinks and one privacy sink with a plug socket.
The downside for us was the fact that there are only two showers at a cost of 50p and they are sadly lacking in power or heat meaning that you had a sharp wake up in the morning. That said though, I hardly ever had to queue and it would not put me off going back. I don't mind paying for a shower when I get a decent one but these really were rubbish.
The other big difficulty for us, and it affected most pitches we spoke to, was the wasp factor. There were a significant amount of wasps on the site which prevented us from eating outside. We once came back to find fourteen in our fruit bowl in the porch! We invested in wasp traps but can't use spray in the tent on the lining, but the shriek from kids (and a few adults) on the site could always be heard from early morning.
This site is my absolute favourite site I've stayed on in my absolute favourite town. Am reluctant to rave too much about it in case it gets booked up too quickly. What I would say is if you are looking for a clean, family friendly site with laundrette and park for the kids - this is it.
There is no swimming pool or club but no noise at night time or raucous neighbours either. The site had a real atmosphere of family as the kids all made friends and we spent evenings sitting out chatting with like-minded people.
Will definitely be returning every year from now on.
Very clean campsite. In a fantastic spot with everything close by, short walk to the beach and into Filey. My children and grandchildren loved it.
Toilet and shower block were clean, sadly only one shower was working, the shower head would not stay up, other than that it lasted long enough and was warm enough, for 50p not bad.
The only thing that let it down was the number of dogs on the site. They seemed to out number any children that were there. Whilst putting up our awning the camper van on the next pitch had a dog and it constantly yapped. As did some of the other dogs on the site,
If you are a dog lover this site is ideal, if yapping and barking dogs annoy you, don't go.
Set in the midst of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, a family run farm with a stream meandering through the site and breathtaking views, with plenty to do nearby. Tent and campervan pitches with or without electric. Five star shower block with showers, washbasins, toilets, disabled and family room. Sinks for pot washing, a kettle and microwave, charge points, communal fridge freezers. Fire pits are available to hire. Wifi
A small shop sells essentials and an on-site cafe serves delicious food and drinks! Freshly brewed coffee, sausage sandwiches, or warm pastries, in the evening, enjoy stone-baked pizzas. Luxury timber pods and two magical bell tents with private hot tubs are also available to hire. Don't forget to meet their friendly family of alpacas! And all within five minutes of Bolton Abbey and Hesketh Farm Park Find out more here
Outstanding facilities and play area suitable for all ages including fields and toilets that are available all day apart from when being cleaned but really that not of a big problem.
We were there about ten days and it was of exceptionally good value.
It is all dog and child friendly with a path straight down to the beach. Showers are 50p and are warm. My children made some great friends during this family break. The camp owners seem very professional and friendly
A lovely site that is ideal for kids, when you don't want to stay at the all singing all dancing entertainment sites. Admittedly this site is in my home town, but having agreed to take 9 year old and her mate camping, thought I would keep it close by and this didn't disappoint. As stated with the exception of a small tent field to the rear of the site, the majority of pitches (tent and caravan) are hardstanding. If this leaves you uncertain, please be reassured, although I would recommend a footprint to protect your tent. However this would be ideal for beginning/end of season as there is even a hardstanding path to your pitch, so no muddy feet to worry about and the grass to each side of the pitch is perfect.
The kids loved the play area and were rarely seen except at meal times, the reception hut sells a few essentials and sweets. The undercover washup area and the toilet/showers are fine, paying 50p for a shower with plenty of time to shower.
Centenary way is to the south of Filey and a short walk brings you to Glen Gardens(with play area, cafe, boating lake, trampolines, crazy golf)if you carry on through the Crescent gardens, these will bring you to the town. By walking down the ravine(at the side of Glen Gardens)you reach the beach with snack bar, beach shop and cafe, walking the length of the beach/promeade brings you to the north end, with small amusements, cafes, ice cream and fish stalls. Despite being able to nip home, it felt a world away and thoroughly enjoyed being a holiday maker in my home town!
I have just returned from almost two weeks and wanted to pass on my positive recommendations. This is effectively the first campsite I have visited as I only bought the tourer at the end of last year. We previously had a static caravan and many years ago I went camping (tent)
The site is immaculately presented with excellent spacing between 'pitches'. It is a credit to the owners, who are very helpful and friendly.
A popular site (not surprisingly!) but very quiet and peaceful.
The toilet block, whilst a little dated, is very clean and well kept and is more than adequate.
Also good 'washing up' facilities and laundry.
There is a children's play area which my Grandson really enjoyed on his visit.
A short walk into Filey centre and also the beach, and very good (dog!) walks along the cliff tops, in both directions
I will look forward to returning later in the year.
The site: The owners are pleasant but unobtrusive. Good value - we paid £26 for 2 nights in motorhome inc EHU in May. The gravel pitches are spacious and well set out.
Toilet block is kept extremely clean - background music is a nice touch. The waste facilities (when we found them! - no signs) could be improved - no recycling on site. No club house but great location - close to amenities)
The area: Its only a 15min walk to Filey centre with pubs, bank and shops (this is down an uneven cycle/mud track. So on the night girlies wear flat shoes and take your heels in your bag!
Also a torch is essential because there are very irresponsible dog owners around here! The local pubs are great - really friendly staff and locals in all. The walk to the beach is also down the same track and takes about 15mins through a local park.
Lovely site. The site is very well laid out and neat. This is one of the few sites I have stayed on where having electric hookup didn't mean having to compromise on the quality of the pitch. We stopped on one of the gravel pitches, which are well spaced out. Toilets clean and tidy (and warm, even overnight), never used the showers so can't comment. Pleasant walk into Filey from the site. Would recommend and would definitely use again.

We stayed here in April for 5 nights in our tourer. We broke down on the way and car had to go for repairs owners on the site where very helpful and even let us leave caravan on there car park as it took over a week to repair the car
As for the site itself we could not fault anything very well kept and toilets and showers clean. Other regular caravanners on the site very friendly.
A lovely walk to filey both town and beach. Play area was great and other field for ball games. Dog walking area, small shop on site,but tesco's just down the road you really do not need a car bus stop at end of lane.
Very peaceful and quiet after 11pm which we like pitches have plenty of room We will be back and only a hour for us for a long weekend
We stayed here for 1 night as a little getaway the 2nd weekend of March and had a lovely time.
We didn't book or anything and just turned up, the welcome was warm and efficient. The site was a little wet on the grassed areas but most if not all of the pitches are hardstanding anyway. It was just getting to some pitches in motorhomes across the wet grass could be a problem.
The site was well looked after and in good condition. I had a nosey around the showerblock etc and the laundry, all was clean and tidy. The washing up sinks are undercover on the side of the block and had new bowls and drainers ready for this season.
There was a freezer for iceblocks as well for in the summer - looks to be free.
The showers are 50p each and the gents had about 3 of them I think.
The water tap for filling the MH was on the far side of the block. This was a little bit of hassle as I blocked up this area filling the tank up so some pitches were not accesable and the visitors car park.
The pitch itself was fine, a bit sloping but the standard leveling blocks took care of it.
The location of the site is excellent, only a short walk down a footpath then across a field and you are at the main place a motorhome would have to park anyway and just at the top of another short path to the beach. We didn't need to move the MH again until home time.
There is a ball games field just passed the tent areas and a playpark with a slide, swing, roundabout and climbing frame.
At £10.50 for hardstanding with EHU this was excellent value (early season though).
We booked this site last minute for the Bank Holiday weekend and risked a non-electric hook-up pitch as that was all that was left. So we didn't have great expectations, particularly as they had availability still and the price seemed good for a peak time.
Knowing the area quite well (but not from a campsite point of view) first impression was amazement that it was so close to at the best bits lovely Filey has to offer.
5 mins drive from beach, shops etc. We then drove onto a 'perfectly groomed' site after a friendly introduction when we were given our instructions and a pitch number. 'It's the back field with the cows for us' we thought but no a lovely, decent sized, hard standing (I think that's what the experts call them) pitch awaited in the middle field with ample space between us and fellows campers and a generous supply of playmates for our 3 and 6 year olds. We couldn't believe our luck!
The toilet facilities were better than the other sites we had been to (only our 3rd camping trip) and yes, there was 'the towel' that earlier reviews mentioned but as others have said, you take your own or have a shake.
There were numerous toilets and two showers (50p)and a curtained area handy for stripping off a little one if a shower takes them away from their new found friends for too long. There was also a free electric point for hairdryer etc and always squirty soap during our stay (not a dreaded bar).
Best of all there was music from a local radio station piped into the toilet block which was a nice little touch, particularly later in the evening when the relaxing music was on!
Wash up facilities plentiful and free use of freezer in the laundrette for ice packs a bonus. Basic play area by the side of the toilet block, ideal for older kids.
The only downside was the great British weather and the very strong winds that really did make us fear for the life of our new 8 man tent! But what a lovely place to experience the wilds of the great outdoors (3 year old saw her first rainbow!) Get yourselves there!
Excellent site owners just couldn't do enough to help. Booked last min and no problems getting in. Our 3 night stay was great easy walk in to Filey with pushchair.
Showers and toilets kept clean and tidy with radio playing nice touch! showered at different times and always loads of hot water, me and my daughter were always out before 50p ran out. Needed a extension for the hook up and this was lent at no extra cost.
Play area for the children with football field as well with no ball games around tents. No noise after 11 there was no problems with this as owners were always around the site (went quite about 9 most nights)
Just returned from a 1 night camping practice as we've never camped before. Centenary Way was a recommendation, and we loved our first experience.
The toilet / washing block was spotless, nice friendly site. We had a quiet pitch at the top of the site which suited us a treat being our first time camping.
In the evening we had a lovely walk down to the beach just the right distance away from the campsite. During the night we experienced high winds but this wasn't a problem just added to the excitement.
We will be returning at some point in the future and would recommend the site as couple / family friendly.
