Date of Visit: August 2009 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Fieldgirl 3 reviews from this member

 Just returned from 3 nights camping. The camping field was nice and flat, although it did have the feel that we were 'the poor relations'(even though it was a fairly hefty £25 per night). It was literally just a field, with no water supply or toilets (these were placed in the touring field where no doubt most of the people have their own loos anyway in case of emergencies!)

The toilet blocks were clean in the main, however, there seemed to be a problem with replacing the loo roll quickly enough, leaving lengthy periods without any at all. Also, the absence of any plug sockets in the ladies shower block left my teenage daughter distraught at the prospect of not being able to use her hair straighteners! Luckily, there were a couple of sockets in the laundry/washing-up room.

The showers were nice and hot, however, they were a little irritating, as once the shower button was pressed, you got literally 8 seconds of water before having to press it again (a minor annoyance, but a pain when trying to wash).

Staff were nice and friendly, with what appeared to be a good kids entertainment program. An over abundance of slot machines and arcade games gave the feeling that the site was out squeeze a few extra pounds from the holidaymakers. I can imagine that it would cost an arm an a leg for those with a few kids to keep them busy in the arcades for a couple of hours.

The site club was nice, with drinks being pitched at normal pub prices. Again, small problem in ladies toilets in that there wasn't a mirror to check makeup or brush hair, but I got the feeling that this was intentional to avoid crowds of teenage girls hogging the toilets all night!

Nice on site convenience store selling most essentials. Chip shop next to the site entrance, nice enough but a bit on the pricey side.

All in all, we enjoyed our stay. I would pay the extra for a touring pitch if we were to go again, just for the water supply and to be near the toilet blocks.

 We have been going to this site for 10 years. We booked early for our July holiday but also went at Spring Bank Holiday. The electric barrier did not work either visit. The toilets were dirty. The grass was not cut, there was litter all. I regularly went to reception to ask for the toilets to be cleaned (I was not alone doing this). The staff are all lovely and very helpful and cheerful.

 Just returned from 6 nights camping here, the toilet and showers were very clean and fully stocked, however it was not to full capacity.

Lovely site with loads for the kids to do. The swimming pool was very safe and clean. The playground next to the touring site was great. The pitch itself was a good size with hedges dividing and 2 taps and ehu.

The access to the beach however was not safe and after asking at reception was directed along the road with 4 young boys eager to play to find very dangerous stairs. They are not suitable for kids, elderly etc. As we love sites with beach access and chose this site for that reason we wont return. Great site for families though. 


Date of Visit: April 2009 Unit:  Static
Reviewer: Shelleyloliver 10 reviews from this member

 On a whole this is a very nice site. We stayed for a week in April in a Static with a view to Camp later on in the year. The camping area is smashing with a children's adventure playground and a duck pond close by.

The swimming pool was very clean and had a shallow area for little ones. There was also an amusements arcade with Soft play area, a launderette, Sunbeds! and a Shop, items in shop were a little over priced and it wasn't that well stocked which would not normally be a problem but the nearest Supermarket is approximately 9 miles away in Bridlington.

The bar area and restaurant was well laid out with a very good menu. The staff unfortunately had no idea what they sold, how to work the tills etc this may have been because it was the beginning of the season.

The site had no beach access due to coastal erosion. The area where the beach had been was extremely dangerous as the road just disappeared. There was a sign saying road closed but no barriers stopping anyone falling over the edge.

The site on a whole is great, we just felt that it was a little far out and we had to get in the car for more than 30 minutes to get anywhere. 


Date of Visit: May 2009 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Tonyparkin144 10 reviews from this member

 Stayed here for the may bank holiday break, on arrival we pulled into the touring waiting bay located ideally near reception to pull in and check in. You have to leave a deposit for the toilet key of £5 but I only had a £10 note the staff were very friendly and said we could pay in the morning.
When we arrived at our pitch I was pleasantly surprised, I had booked a pitch with hardstanding and water and drainage, this was very level and very roomy.
The only bad points we found was that there were only 2 taps to the 4 caravans, after paying a supplement for your own water and the hedges that surrounded the caravan were full of thorns and this could be slightly worrying if you have a toddler running around.
But the private members club 'Skipsea Beach Club' is the star attraction to go to. The staff are great and the bingo and entertainment is fantastic, this is not part of the park but just a few minutes walk.
I will return to the site as soon as I can and the staff are a credit to the resort. The only exception to this is the bar staff in the sports bar, seemed to be rude at times but you get that I suppose.

Date of Visit: April 2009 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: William200200 7 reviews from this member

 We have just returned from Easter Weekend at Skipsea Sands in our tent and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised! The touring pitch where we had out tent was great, we had a corner pitch with EHU and it was very flat and grassy with bushes separating us from the next plots and a water tap in between.

The toilet block was close by, accessed by a credit card key, which, when we had a short power cut, didn't work and we had to cross our legs until the electricity came back on! The toilets were cleaned mid morning every day but they could have done with another clean late afternoon as they stated to get grubby by then. However, there was ample toilet roll and free hot water but the showers were quite small, push button controlled and the water was very hot - too hot for my son actually who's skin looked slightly red after he had a shower!

We were quite near the playground which was massive, had pleanty of play equipment and a football pitch! My son made friends there very easily.

We ate in the bar the first night, the staff were great, bent over backwards to help and serve us but they were all quite new so who knows how long their enthusiasm will last! However, the food was terrible, we had burger and chips and it was dry and tasteless so we didn't eat in there again.

Every night in the club is bingo night followed by cheesy kids entertainment and then a variety act of some kind. It was very busy, hot and depending on what you like, tacky as hell! Again, we only spent the first night there and the rest in the tent!

There isn't really much to do locally, the beach can be accessed a short walk away due to coastal erosion washing away the cliff and Bridlington is a short drive away.

Generally, for tents and caravans, the site is lovely, clean, generous sized pitches and flat but the rest of the site was not to my taste. But well done Park Resorts for the staff training as they all seemed to work their socks off! 


Date of Visit: October 2008 Unit:  Static
Reviewer: Shorner 3 reviews from this member

 I visited this site with my small family over the Halloween period from Friday to Monday.

The site was fantastic and ideal for families, the site had special entertainment on for the Halloween period in the form of a fancy dress ball on the Saturday Evening in the main hall.

The site has a small bowling alley, great swimming pool, roller disco hall and kids club.

There is also evening entertainment on at the complex each night. This has plenty seating.

The Static caravan was of excellent condition and of good decor and comfortable - no damp.

We also were in a short walking distance to the coast which too was peaceful and great for the kids, there is a fish and chip shop outside the front gates.

On site you can also hire bikes and go carts, there is also laundry, hairdressers and amusements as well as a small shop providing essentials for your stay.

I would most definitely be visiting this site again but would like to compare it when there is no special events happening i.E a normal weekend. The price was also very reasonable. 


Date of Visit: October 2008 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Harri01 2 reviews from this member

 Skipsea Sands is a fantastic family campsite. The touring pitches are all a good size and the shower block is well maintained. The touring pitches are separate to the rest of the park with a barrier for extra security. The children have loads to do with two play areas, an amusement arcade with a large play gym and a fantastic sports centre that has a swimming pool, cafe and ten pin bowling.

We found that we spent most of our day running between all the kids club activities!

We will definitely return. 


Date of Visit: August 2008 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Barkspoor 52 reviews from this member

 Stayed here for a week including the bank holiday weekend and where do I start.

Arrived Friday afternoon to find reserved tent pitch flooded with water looked more like the duck pond. Aware of the weather yet when asked at reception what plans were in place for this eventuality we were told 'well what can we do about it? its been raining!' We suggested a phone call we would have appreciated after travelling for three hours to find the plots were totally unusable. We had paid for electric hook up but this was dangerous due to the amount of water. We asked to be moved to a different pitch and were again told this was not an option as they were full.

We then spoke to the park warden who agreed pitches were unusable to due to the amount of water he then suggested we move to a patch of grass between the tourers which we accepted although this was also sodden but at least it resembled a pitch. The rest of the poor people who arrived after us were pitched on the kids play park and any available patch of land or even roadside. The word greed comes to mind, they had accepted far too many bookings with no where to put anyone which spoilt the site not just for us poor souls in tents but people who were used to peace and quiet around their caravans and tourers were subjected to hoards of tents surrounding them.

Too many people and too few toilet blocks does not justify the £29 per night charged.

 We have just come back from skipsea it was fantastic. The pitches were flat, grassy some hard standing very large and in good condition. The site was clean and the staff very helpful, never had a problem getting a shower, the clubhouse was good with a pint of larger £1. 99 cordials 30p not bad for a big company. We had such a good time we tried to book a extra night but site was full the next day. 10 out of 10
