Date of Visit: July 2008 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Avondale e 13 reviews from this member

 This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this camp.

Our party included 2 adults and 3 children aged 9, 11 ,13.

We decided to use this site because you don't have to use your car to get about and we enjoyed our first stay. However I don't think we will be going back. This is because of the bullying and bad language some of the children there were doing.

When our children went to play on the park they were told to go away (although using extremely bad language) That it was their park because they are there most weekends.It soon became apparent that these children were left to their own devises while their parents were in the clubhouse getting drunk!

The clubhouse is very dated and extremely noisy you can't hear yourself think. It reminded me of a working men's social club.They do have a smaller bar , but families were not allowed in, although it appeared empty!

It is a shame that certain types of family spoil it for every one else.

 What a excellent site :)

Only a steady 20 minute walk to whitby abbey along the cleveland way coast path!

Site is lovely and clean, showers and toilets, pot wash (beware in the pot wash, the water is very very hot!) But these were excellent and very very clean 10/10! Clubhouse was cheap to say it was a site pub! There's a cafe on-site which offer meals to eat in- special foods are currys for £5.99 or a Sunday roast for £5.99 or there a takeaway option to chill out in your caravan or to take in to the clubhouse this includes-pizza's, burgers etc.!
Also for the kids is an amusements! For the ladies or gentlemen lol, there's a laundrette which do iron and iron board hire and there's also washers and dryers- top tip in laundrette there's a drinks machine if you like to avoid cues in the shop!
As previously said yes there's a on site shop which is also cheap to say it is a on-site- they offer news papers, kitchenware, bread, milk etc. Like your local shop!

Also there's a steep, unsteady coastal path down to a sandy beach- near the bin area!

The site offers caravan hire and touring caravan pitches and motorhome pitches! But no tents- which i love!

Will be returning next year! Especially for the whitby regatta!

 We like to stop at this site at least once a year and have always enjoyed the location and facilities it has to offer. It really does have a bit of everything, including friendly staff. A new refurbished toilet and shower block only adding to an excellent holiday destination.The only gripe the wife had (and she does excel at these) was the lack of cloths hangers in the new showers.

Reviewer: Dippy27uk 19 reviews from this member

 A lovely site with lovely views. Pitches are not vey level & we needed to borrow wood from the site to level us out. A previous review mentions the seasonal residents making us feel like we were on their patch, I agree with this totally & that was just the kids! my 2 kids felt a bit like they shouldn't have been there! however, please don't let this put you off.

 We had a 3 night break on touring pitch no 109, what fantastic views, pitches are quite small but we didn't put up the awning so it was ok.
The toilet and showers are all brand new and were lovely and clean all the time with free hot water. There is a nice club/pub on site which we used once and a well stocked shop. The reception was excellent and the girls helpful.

If you love great views and walks this is the site for you, its just about 20 mins into Whitby and if you like longer walks its 5 miles in the other direction to Robin Hoods Bay, takes about 3 hours but there is an hourly bus service that brings you back to Whitby. Saltwick bay is a small cove with a lovely beach and shallow water which is safe for children, its a little steep to get down onto the beach but there are steps. Cant wait to go back in the summer.

Date of Visit: May 2007 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Dipsy90 7 reviews from this member

 Our first venture in our new motor home and we stumbled across this lovely site. Situated at the top of the cliffs, with stunning views across the sea and to the Abbey, a steady 20 minute coastal walk to the Abbey and down in to Whitby.
We arrived at reception (noticed there was a security barrier at the entrance, very reassuring) and parked up, there is a camp shop, club/pub, cafe open until late at the weekend, play area for children, plenty of showers and toilets, overall a clean and tidy site. It felt as though we had arrived in a small town and it felt welcoming. We went in to reception and enquired about a pitch, we were met with a smile and excellent customer service from the 3 ladies in the office. We were shown a map of the pitches and was asked which pitch we would like - new to camping, I did not know the meaning of some of the abbreviations, too embarrassed to ask, therefore we chose a cliff top position for the views and we thought we would worry about the distance to toilets and showers etc later. However there was no problem, everything was compact and well laid out.
Well, maybe I am a novice, I can hear some of you say, but excellent customer service and friendly people will ensure I go back to this site again, and again and again. Well done Whitby Holiday Park 5*****

Reviewer: Les McLean 1 review from this member

 Spent a very pleasant couple of days on this site, staff very friendly and helpful, facilities clean and efficient. Plenty of water points , waste areas.
Decent pint of Theakstons in the club-house, and at £2.10 a pint, didn't take your eyes out.
The only fly in the ointment was the £2 per night for each of our 2 Jack Russels, which is a bit steep.

Reviewer: Philven 11 reviews from this member

 I have scrapped 2 reviews that I have penned as I can't quite put my finger on this site and I don't want to be unfair. We normally just go to Caravan Club sites but I read the reviews and booked to go to this site as it was a last minute chance to go away. I would normally try and steer clear of sites with Clubhouses as we have 2 young boys and we have had trouble getting them to sleep on noisier camps.
 
The site has an amazing location right behind the Abbey and as everyone else says you could easily walk into Whitby which is a big plus as it's a nightmare place to park. The staff were friendly and helpful, the pitches of a good size and it had a good play area even for toddlers. It has a remote beach you can get to by means of a fairly rough track so you don't have to get in the car to go into Whitby. 

On the down side the toilets were a bit of a let down quite  grubby and the showers you had to keep your hand pressed on the button to get water which I must say was boiling - don't know if this is a water saving policy ! We couldn't shower the kids as it was physically too hot for them. Also why clean out the Showers/toilets at 9.00 am? The pitch fee of £23 a night was steep I guess this subsidises the Clubhouse entertainment.
 
The camp certainly appears to have a lot of repeat customers not necessarily with a seasonal pitch but that made it feel a bit like we were on their turf, didn't have the feel of a Caravan club site where everyone acknowledges one another and you have a bit of friendly banter.
 
I would say if you were a family with kids aged 10 plus then this site would be fine, if you however are maybe looking for a bit of peace and quiet with good facilities but no bar this may not be for you.

Reviewer: Abi_rallyman 1 review from this member

 Just returned after a weekend stay at this site and we had a fantastic time! The site is easily accessible and only a 15-20min walk to Whitby. All the staff are very pleasant and helpful. The shop is well stocked and you can find everything you need on site(food, gas, newspapers). My only negative comment is that the toilet/shower block is a little tatty and dated, but having said that it is kept spotless! Whitby is a great place to visit, there's plenty to see and do, you'll never get bored. I would recommend Whitby and this site to anybody and we'll be returning before the end of summer for sure. (simply because the club house serves the best pint of John Smiths in the country!)

Reviewer: Theloftrooms 4 reviews from this member

 This is a good campsite to visit whitby & within walking distance along a clifftop pathway (20-30 minute walk).
The campsite has a shop, cafe & bar with entertainment & bingo.
The toilets are clean & warm but there is only one block which could be a problem in the busy summer period.
The pitches are all grass & 70% are on a slope due to the site being on the clifftop, it could be a problem getting on or off the pitches in wetter periods of the year due to the slope of the site.
Most pitches on the site has beautiful sea views & also of Whitby Abbey.
We had a great weekend & would definately return to this site.

Date of Visit: April 2006 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Hutchies123 8 reviews from this member

 We visited Whitby Caravan Park over the Easter Break based on the positive reviews listed here. At 23.00 per night it certainly wasn't the cheapest site - and following the visit, seemed even less value for money!
 
The site is perched on the cliff tops of saltwick bay with lovely views and within excellent walking distance to Whitby. The site is open access (no security barrier) as are the toilets/showers - a bit scary first thing in the morning when not many folk are around as anyone could just walk in while you are taking a shower. Showering was an experience -  either scalding hot or freezing cold (no temperature control), depending on which cubicle you went in! One morning a woman with a small child was literally 'shower hopping' trying to get a cubicle with an acceptable temperature. 
 
The site was undergoing refurbishment hence - no kids play area, dug up fields with surrounding security tape and absolutley no literature on arrival at Reception about the sight.  The waste disposal area is next to the fresh water - which my husband complained about to the site itself.  I would suggest the site reduce the rates per night to attract custom until it sorts itself out.

Back again for the whit weekend. Another great weekend here. Nice weather although very windy, so do take care as we all got burnt. Very expensive at £23.00 with no awning or electric but this was to cover for the fantastic entertainment. Singer one night then 70's fancy dress. Parking was a nightmare in Whitby so much easier to take the cliff top path. Theres a big Sunday morning car boot just outside Whitby which we went to. At only 1hour away from home think we'll definately be back.

We loved this site. Pitched right next to the adventure play, so children can be watched safely. Great club house. Lets hope the 'young lad' is still dj'ing. He is marvellous with the kids (conga, agadoo, etc). Kids loved the cheesy disco. Separate adults only room. (if your not up to black lace)
10 minute walk into whitby.
Toilets could do with some maintenance.
Small cafe.
Looking forward to going back.

We had a really good time at this site. We pitched over looking the bay and the grass was good and the tent pegs went in easy. Toilets and showers were clean and tidy and the clubhouse served a fine pint of Tetley for £1.98.

Whitby is about 20 minutes walk away on the coastpath and the best fish and chips I've had for ages.

First review ever from me but had such a great time at this site I just had to let everyone know how good it is. It actually hardly ever stopped raining during our stay but the cliff top location so close to Whitby itself made for one of the best week-ends ever. Staff are friendly and helpful, toilet facilities are superb and three cheers for the idea of paying a key deposit to ensure site folks only get to use them!!. Ideal for kids as entertainment is provided every day but the club has seperate "no children" areas too. Can't wait to re-visit.
