Reviewer: Scarfes14 5 reviews from this member

 Went to this campsite for the bank holiday week at the end of May. Found the campsite really easily and on arrival was seen really quickly by the ladies on the reception. We booked this site because we had family members also booked and asked if we could be near them, the ladies on the reception advised us to tell the gentlemen outside on bikes and we were found a stop in front of my aunt and uncle. Really friendly staff and always helpful.

The toilets and showers were cleaned daily, but I would have expected more than two showers as sometimes we had to wait. There was a park for the kids on the site who looked as though they were enjoying themselves, there was also a kids room with table tennis and various other games.

There was a cafe on site which did breakfast, meals and fish and chips at night which were very nice. There was a pub next door which looked busy but we never went. We were advised to go to the Ivan something on the main road. I wouldn't recommend it as we had to wait nearly two hours for our meal, which when it finally was not satisfactory. Really poor service as well as we were told we'd be waiting 45 minutes.

Other than that we had a cracking time, the sealife centre is a definite must as well as scarborough north and south beaches.

 We had our family camping trip here in our new Vango Icarus tent May bank holiday weekend.

The site itself is lovely, very well cared for. The toilets, showers, washing up areas were spotless. There is also a laundry and indoor play area with pool tables and table tennis. At both ends of the site there are children's play areas which suited our 19 month old toddler.

The only downside was the on site shop which had limited provisions but as commented below a garage and Tesco Express are only minutes away so make sure you stock up! The Sealife Centre in Scalby is 5 minutes away and well worth a visit.

Staff are friendly here and offered to help us move if we felt isolated after the Bank Holiday exodus. But we didn't.

We had a great weekend, the weather could have been kinder but we would definitely return here for a longer stay.

Reviewer: Truediamond 129 reviews from this member

 Our first outing in the van this year and it had slipped my mind what these C & C sites are like. When filling up with water, I had to be reminded by staff not to use the general taps but to go to the Motorhome Service Area as some people would complain.

The other side of the coin with C & C is the excellent and invariably high standard of their facilities. This Site is no exception - toilets all clean and modern, even if not all in use at this stage of the season.Plenty of space and what looked like reasonable children's play areas but I got the impression it might get claustrophobic when full.

Well situated for coastal walks and ~40 minutes into town. We walked to and from the Theatre.

Would go back happily.

Reviewer: Jimmn 27 reviews from this member

 I booked this site thinking (from its pictures) that this would be an attractive site with mature shrubbery. In reality however, I found the site to be just an expanse of grass with barely a hedge in sight. Bit of a let down.

The staff were helpful and friendly, but they possess the world's loudest and most annoying grass cutting machine. You can hear it droning away across the whole site (possibly because of the aforementioned lack of vegetation).

Thanks to some of the reviews below, we asked for a site away from the road - and we're very glad we did, for the noise from the road is really really bad - a mixture of boy racers and aging bikers.

Facilities on-site were tired but well-looked after.

Fish & Chip shop is the jewel in this site's crown - great fish & chips (proper chips as well).

Scalby Manor pub next door, as others have mentioned, do an all-day 7-day carvery for £3.59. It's not bad, and the drink prices are reasonable.

There's a petrol station on the way into Scalby which is competitively priced and a little bit further on, on the right, there's a Tesco Express.

You can walk into North Beach via the Cleveland way (accessed by a footpath opposite the site) which is a lovely scenic walk. Scarborough is accessible by bus from the roundabout. If you like arcades and candy floss and refuse-littered beaches, then Scarborough is for you! To be fair, however, there is a good shopping district with all the usual high-street names.

Whitby, a 45 minute drive up the coast is a charming sea-faring town with interesting shops, a haunting abbey, and fantastic views.

On the way back, don't miss Robin Hood's bay. Park at the top and walk down the steep incline and steps into the picturesque cottage filled bay.

York, though a bit further afield, is well worth the trip. We visited the National Railway Museum, Yorvik (viking excavations), and Yorkminster. Fantastic.

 Visited over the Easter holidays and had a great time. We were unable to have a pitch with electric as they were all booked up however ran fine on a battery.

The Staff were great, they couldn't have helped more.It had rained quite a lot before we visited and the ground was quite wet in some places, however we were lucky to get a good pitch.

The showers were hot and powerful, the playground was an ample size for our children and the nearby pub was handy although very busy. There is a great fish and chip shop on site which doubles as a cafe and the breakfasts are great. Would definitely visit again.

Reviewer: Firebasher 11 reviews from this member

  The site is very large but many of the pitches seem to be close together, the pitch we had had no room for a vehicle and a porch awning side by side.

My daughter made a late decision to spend the weekend at Scarborough, but the web site showed fully booked until the day before when it showed room, though too late to book on line. When she rang to try and book she was told the site was full, but we noticed a number of pitches that were empty all weekend. I thought it strange that if the site was fully booked, why weren't all the ablutions open!

The site itself is well cared for with a number of toilet blocks, water points etc., but I was surprised to find that there is no recycling policy.

We found the Scalby Manor next door to the site offered excellent value for money with their carvery, and we ate there twice.

I think the best thing about this site is it's closeness to Scarborough and everything that Scarborough has to offer.

Would I go again, not sure it offers good value for money, so would probably choose a CS or CL if going to Scarborough.

Reviewer: SpampMan 27 reviews from this member

 I agree with previous reviews that this is a busy but spacious site. I did feel less than welcomed by the lady in reception and was chastised as we only had one of our membership cards (she didn't notice that it was last years though!)

We were directed to a very slopey pitch by the entrance to the caravan store. What were they thinking of?! We have a moderately large family tent and there wasn't a flat bit anywhere. After spending some time surveying the pitch, I gave up and went to reception with some trepidation given my experience a short time ago. Fortunately they did find us a flat pitch behind the caravan store which was spacious and peaceful. Although it was as far from the toilet block as you can get, it wasn't too far!

The facilities are excellent and there was no need to queue for showers - well not at the time I went anyway. There were some problems with some little scrotes who thought it was a good idea to block up the sinks and loos with paper and flood the gents.

The shop in reception is very basic but there are excellent convenience shops nearby. There is a little cafe / takeaway which we used on the first night - it was OK. There is also a Harvester carvery pub next door to the site with direct access to the site. This was OK but very busy.

Scarborough is a brisk walk away or there is a bus service with a nearby stop.

Overall pretty good after a shaky introduction to this site.

Reviewer: Jaykaytee 1 review from this member

 Just come back from our first ever camping trip and we could not have chosen a better site!

We checked in quickly and efficiently and shown to our pitch by a friendly and informative warden.

Our pitch was on very slight incline backing onto road which was a little noisy later at night, but not too bad. The pitches were well spread out, so we did not feel crowded

The toilet & shower blocks were very clean and we never had to queue despite it being bank holiday and always had hot water. We did not avail ourselves of all the facilities such as recreation room and chippy, but can recommend take out bacon sarnies for breakfast!

The nearby pub - scalby manor - serves a bargain carvery at £3.50 (£6.50 on sundays!) which looked delicious.

Sea life centre is within walking distance - which my daughters loved but it was a bit pricey

Scarborough is bustling seaside town - castle offers a spectacular respite from all this.

Overall I would recommend this site to any one and I can see us visiting again (though not to visit the town!)

Reviewer: Bewley 2 reviews from this member

 Great site! Staff efficient and very helpful.

The toilet area was excellent and attended to on a regular basis. Very clean. Pot washing area was enclosed to protect from adverse weather and the water supply and waste disposal areas very well sited.

There is a take away/cafe on site selling breakfasts and fish and chips. Good quality and good portion sizes. The prices were reasonable too.

The site access is good with the added security of an electric barrier system with access code which was provided when checking onto the site.

There is also a pub which borders the site. It is not part of the site but has a access gate on the south side perimiter. Very popular offering a carvery for £3.50.

For convenience there is a Tesco express just down the road if the on site shop runs out.

Only down side was the main road at the side of the site was busy. Leading to traffic noise but nothing you can't live with.

Well worth a visit.

Reviewer: Mwills 2 reviews from this member

 Very clean, grass cut every time a unit moved off, grass cutters were always on patrol for a long blade. Tesco nearby which was good for provisions etc, quite spacious yes definitely a CC&C site.

Very expensive which would make me look for a smaller more private site next time

 Third visit to this site and once again we were really impressed. First couple of times we were in a motorhome, this time in a tent, so this time we did notice some of the pitches are on a bit of a slope but not bad enough to be a real issue.

The whole site is well maintained, the landscaping, gardening and general upkeep is excellent. The reception and small shop are adequate and the room containing local information is very well put together with lots of useful numbers and leaflets.

The toilet and shower blocks are really good and extremely clean, the shower cubicles are a good size with plenty of hooks and the vanity sinks are private. The water pressure and temperature does fluctuate a bit, but not noticeable enough to be a problem.

The staff are all pleasant and helpful and the Fish & Shop on site is very good and does a decent selection of takeaway meals plus is now also open for breakfasts too.

The overall location of this site is very good, in easy walking distance of the Sea-Life Centre and North Bay, plus there is a good bus route from just outside the campsite. Across the road there is a public foot-path which leads to the cliff top walk (Cleveland Way), which is well worth the walk.

The pub next door is useful for basic pub grub and a decent pint.

The price per night is very reasonable for the facilities provided.

Once again we have had a really good break here at this family friendly site and will have no hesitation is visiting again next year.

Reviewer: Beckers 1 review from this member

 Visited this site for out maiden voyage in our new camper van.

The site was really busy in terms of the numbers of vans present but it never felt crowded and you didn't have to queue for showers or toilets.

There are plenty of shower blocks and they were clean and modern. The showers are set to one temperature which might be a little too hot for young kids. And the shower cubicles aren't separated at floor level so you get the shower next door's water going down your plug. Fine apart from that.

Fish shop on site is great. The 'large' portion of chips is very large.

Dogs have to be kept on a lead on site (understandable) but a dog walk is provided and you can leave the site and cross the main Burniston Road and join a public footpath to the Cleveland Way which is about 5 minutes walk away and follows the cliff tops and has stunning views.

Staff at the site were friendly and helpful. We were shown to our pitch and everything was well explained, which was especially welcome as it was out first time.

The carvery for £3.50 at the pub next door is outstanding value but it gets busy quickly.

At night the site has a quiet rule after a certain time. (11:30 I think it was) This was well observed and it was very quiet on the site itself except for boy racers on the road outside at night and bikes in the morning. It was only occasional vehicles going past and wasn't a problem.

And a big thanks to the couple next to us who lent us a pan!

 Just got back from site and it was the best, toilets very clean , and the parents and child room very good idea hope other sites take note. The wardens were friendly, and the people on site were too. Its good for kids, playgrounds not that big, but loads of room for them to run about. Found a very very good pub called the Ivanhoe only 10 mins walk from site - better than the scalby manor at the top of the site. You must must go and get a breakfast from the site cafe see if you can eat a big one. You get a lot of space as well, try not to be on the road side can be a little noisy

Reviewer: Kiwismum 2 reviews from this member

 Just returned from a four night break at this site. We were a little worried when we arrived to see how busy it was, with a mix of tents, camper vans and caravans (all pitched side by side in places) but soon realised that the good lay out ensured we didn't feel at all cramped - though the usual space rule didn't seem to apply. The site is a mix of open grass and wooded areas. Pitching the tent in a wooded area did mean a few bent tent pegs and lots of tree sap dripping on the tent but it also provided some welcome shade when the sun was out.

There are a number of facility blocks, each with toilets, showers, a washing up area, ample bins & drinking water - the facilities were kept very clean and were rarely busy. The reception area was always manned with very friendly & knowledgeable staff.It also contained a small shop which stocked the basics like milk, newspapers, a small selection of tinned foods, sweets & a few toys for the children - also some camping essentials like tent pegs, ropes and even disposable BBQs.

The site is entered via a barrier operated by a keypad and a security number which makes the site reasonably secure - there are gates but they didn't seem to be closed during our stay. There is a road running along the edge of the site, it isn't particularly busy but seems to attract boy racers late at night who tear past with engines revving. Our pitch backed onto this road but, thanks to the border of trees, some of the noise was blocked out and the noise wasn't unbearable.

For the children there are a couple of play areas.With swings, a slide and climbing frame. The site is within walking distance of Scarborough (a 5 minute drive) - we found Scarborough too busy so preferred the slightly longer drive (15mins) to Filey for a lovely clean beach. Whitby was a short drive North and touring the Abbey and harbour is a nice afternoon trip out. Flamingo Land theme park/zoo is a 40min drive away and is a great day out for the children (though is slightly pricey with no reductions for children over 3). Eden Camp is also under an hour away (between York & Scarborough) and is a great place to spend 3 or 4 hours - set in a former PoW camp, it is a museum dedicated to the 2nd World War.

All in all we had a great stay at this site and would definitely return. Positives were cleanliness and location - negatives were very few but the night-time noise from the road had to be the main one.

 Excellent site - the only drawback being 'Frau Hitler' in reception, who tends to bark at you if you dare to ask a simple question, all other staff very friendly & helpful.

We caught a bus into Scarborough from Scalby village (exactly 1 mile away) & from there were able to connect with the Moors bus which covered the length & breadth of the moors - wonderful value (even more so if you have a pass!)

The Carvery next to the site was excellent - two courses & half a lager for £8 & the quality of the food was good too.

We were parked next to the toilet block just inside the gate & given the size of the site thought it might be a bit noisy, but not a bit of it.

The facilities were immaculate with plenty of room & a jet of water which would do a fireman proud!
