We are just back from staying 13 nights at the lythe caravan and camping site a great little site in a very nice area. Lovely views and good location for walks…
We were met by a lovely friendly couple (site managers) who told us where everything we needed to know was and where we could set up.
In some areas the site has slight sloping pitches but did not bother us.
Toilets and dishwasher area are as new and really clean, site well laid out.
Very handy for local pub in which the landlord owns the caravan site who is very friendly …
The stiddy pub serves food we tried the sunday lunch which was excellent (recommended)
It also has a village shop. 200yds away that sell all the basics you would need.
Sandsend is just down the hill. Nice walk down but we caught the bus back you will see why if you go. Sandsend has very nice beach and great for the little ones…
Whitby is about 4 miles (10min drive) away we caught the bus one day £9. 60 return (2 adults) so not too bad a price.
We are definitely going to return again very soon.
Not impressed with this site. The sea view was a gap in the hedge about 3FT wide that you could only see standing up. The site was crowded the weekend we arrived and the first night a group of lads and girls opposite had a fire pit and the awning and caravan filled with smoke they were shouting till gone midnight. Had to stay a week after paying upfront before we got there but went somewhere else for the second week.
We had a lovely three day break camping over the Bank Holiday Weekend. Pub is a hundred yards away and does a cracking meal. Steak Pie was superb. Prices right too.
The shower block is new. Buses were next to the pub with a 30 minute service to Whitby. Good value when you don't have to pay to park your car, let alone find a spot or petrol.
Village shop has everything you need for the break.
Will be coming back next year.
Whilst we were not in a Pod, I gather they are available all year round as site is open through to January 2013.
Just returned from a four night stay at this small but beautiful site. We chose it as it close to our town and wanted a short stay for our last outing of the year
Greeted by the wardens who were friendly and helpful and were given a choice of pitches. Opted for quiet corner in the trees as it was quite windy. Good size pitch as we have a rather large tent and awning
Brand new shower/toilet block with sensors for water flow (never found problem with amount of hot water). Allways kept clean and maintained. Washing up area also brand new with what looks like plumbing for washers.
Plenty of walks to do in the area and also Whitby and NYMR. Walked into Sandsend and allthough its only a few miles it can seem like 8 on the way back due to Lythe Bank. (you, ll know what I mean if you do it)
Overall a nicely kept site in a good location, sea views and with good basic facilities (no playground or shop on site). Good value, as there are no add ons
Just back from a fab 5 night stay at Lythe, cracking little site in a lovely area. Toilet and dishwash area are obviously brand new and really clean, site well laid out and very handy for local pub (excellent food) and village shop. Also a good play area in the village for kids.
Only downside is that our pitch wasn't the most level and you had to be careful where you placed your chair so it didn't fall over, however this was just a minor irritation and wouldn't stop me going back to the site in the future. The site manager was very helpful, and the pub landlord owns the site so there's always someone about should you need help with anything.
Only other slight improvement needed is possibly washer/dryer for clothes for when our Great British Weather soaks you, but it does look as though the plumbing/drainage is in place for this so I'm sure this will happen in the future. Also I'm sure £25 per night is really good value for money when you have a large family but as there's only 3 of us it did seem a bit pricey.
However, the location of the site is excellent for touring the N Yorks coast, with Sandsend beach just at the bottom of hill and Whitby just a 10 minute drive away. Definitely a site we'll use again.
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
I'll keep this review short as I was the first to review this site in June the first weekend it opened but we decided to give it another go as there were a few initial teething problems on our first visit but not enough to put us off revisiting.
Our second visit did not disappoint, all the original good points were still there but the site has matured slightly and improved and it has made a lovely site.
The site was full and the atmosphere was really nice, very laid back and friendly but still well looked after.
The only negative point I could make is that there were 4 of us and throughout out 3 night stay there were a few occasions we went to shower or wash up and there wasn't any hot water, we did have a word with the warden and he said they were aware there was an issue and were looking into it. The best time for a hot shower is first thing on a morning or on an evening, the problems seem to be late morning.
We don't tend to revisit sites very often as we like to try new ones but both my partner and I said we will go back again as it's turned out to be a little favourite of ours.
Just returned from a lovely three night break. Manager friendly and helpful. Small site with lovely views and good location; near to road for bus, although we walked to Whitby and back, and to Runswick Bay along the Cleveland Way and back.
Shower block clean and enough showers, toilets, and washing-up sinks for size of the site. However, the hot water soon ran out and we usually washed-up in tepid water.
Local shop handy for extra supplies.
Generally a quiet site and fellow campers friendly and chatty. Enjoyed having the firepit.
To access Cleveland Way easily; walk down track beside Lythe Church, through the farm and then there is a sign for either Sandsend or Kettleness - lovely walk and views on coastal path, and Runswick Bay has a pub and cafe near the beach. Check tide times as difficult at high tide when Cleveland Way comes down onto beach.
At £25 per night, a bit on the expensive side, especially if you don't use electric hook-up and add on the cost of the firepit, but we would return for a short break.
Stayed here for 2 nights during the regatta weekend in Whitby.
Was a great little site, had modern toilet and shower block which were cleaned daily. The site owners were very welcoming and helpful. We stayed in a tent just 2 of us and had a barbecue without any fuss and visited the stiddy pub which was a lovely little pub with good music playing. There were some good trails to walk on immediately outside the site and Whitby itself was only 4 miles away. There is a steep hill to drive up to get to the site but never really troubled the car much over all great weekend would definitely stay again.
What a super welcome we received from the staff at the Lythe camp site. Superb shower / toilet block with all amenities needed.
The owners have obviously spent a small fortune upgrading this site and it really shows.
The site isn't too big, so not noisy. Its ideal for families with children as its enclosed and safe.
There's a super little shop down the road who sell all the necessary basics required for a full english!
We spent two delightful evenings in the pub attached (but far enough away as to not be a problem). The food is excellent and very good value for money.
Took hubby here for fathers day, used the hut that they offer as weather wasn't too good, had heating and light. Found it to be a lovely site, the shower and toilet block was clean and spacious, owners helpful, with really nice views, dog even enjoyed it despite the rain. Nice dog walking bit at bottom of the hill beside the beach that takes you up and around the cliffs, you can even find ammonites on the beach in the rocks, definitely use again

On arrival was greeted by the warden who was a very friendly chap along with his partner. He showed me up to my pitch which was quite secluded or so I thought, however once I got tent up etc. I realised it wasn't that quiet. All and sundry passed on going to the pub, kids flying down the side of the path completely avoiding the gate and through a local residents property which I'm sure given time when the trees grow will be eradicated.
The sea view was only existent if you wanted to stand up all the time, again once the site is fully developed I'm sure this will be sorted.
Their was a separate play area which is no bad idea as it was well away from all pitches and the pub was only a short walk.
The toilets, shower facilities etc were well maintained under the circumstances as the seats were being vandalised or so it seemed by somebody staying on the site.
Great area for walks be it along the beach at Sandsend or overland. Also theirs the lovely little town of Whitby always a big pull for me anyway. Good place for freshly caugth fish and chips from locally sourced potatoes.
All in all not the break that I was looking for but still came back and recharged.
This site is recently refurbished with new toilet block and washing up facilities. Still some basic requirements: no freezer for ice packs, no towel
Hooks near wash basins no dry storage space in showers.
2 night stay but first was awful as the owner had allowed a party of 11 unaccompanied young teenagers to stay in 2 new pods, our tent was between them nightmare ! Fortunately they only stayed 1 night.
We spent two nights here prior to the Bank Holiday weekend. The site itself is quite nice and has the potential to be a good spot once a few of the teething troubles of it being a new site have been ironed out.
There are apparently lots of problems with the hot water system and by 10am the water was stone cold. Also, the pitches are far too close together. The central area isn't too bad, though I chatted to some people pitched there who were grumbling about being cramped with caravans having no room to put up awnings etc.
Unfortunately we were on the track to the pub where there was only 4ft between the tents and only 3ft of grass in between our tent door and the dirt track that cars use to access the area. So the view from our tent was of the dirt track and an 8ft high hedge at the other side of it and if we sat outside we were literally at the side of the road.
We had booked in for 3 nights but left a day early because being pitched so close to a large family with 4 adults, a dog and 4 children didn't make for the chilled out break we had hoped for. Granted it's the school holidays and we expected that there would be lots of families there, and I also wouldn't say that the family we were next to were inconsiderately noisy at all, it's just that we were so close together that you could hear every single word, every cry, every bark, night and day. We spoke to the manager on the morning that we left and explained why we were leaving early. He offered us two free nights later in the season but we wouldn't go back unless we were guaranteed to be in the main part of the site and had a lot more room.
We didn't eat in the pub but we did have a drink in there on our first night and all the food coming out of the kitchen looked very nice. A word of warning about the buses - they are really expensive! We didn't want to drive so got the bus to Runswick Bay which is only 10mins, but was £11. 20 return for 2 adults. The return fare to Whitby for 2 adults was £9. 80 and it is more than twice the distance so I'm not sure how that works. The bus stops are really handy though and the buses are every 30mins until early evening.
If you are booking, do ask to not be on the track to the pub, though the far end of it, near the pub itself, opens up a bit and isn't too bad because car access to that bit is from the side of the pub, whereas the main part of the track, where we were, is accessed through the main site and is a dead end, with no room to turn a car around or park at the side of your tent if it's full.
There were only 3 showers in the ladies but I think 5 toilets, all of which were basic but clean. There are only 3 sinks though so there was a queue for brushing teeth in the morning. There are also only 2 washing up sinks and currently no work surfaces in the washing up room, but the room clearly isn't finished and it looks like they might be going to plumb a washing machine in so they'll probably put a work surface over that which will help.
Firepit hire was very expensive at £15 for one night or £25 for two, and a £50 deposit. We camped in Durham last month and paid £2 per night for a firepit. Mind you, we couldn't have had one without risking setting ours or our neighbours tents on fire because of the lack of space!
We didn't enjoy our stay and for what it currently offers, it's definitely not worth £25 a night, but I do think if they avoid the temptation to cram people in and can sort the hot water out, it has the makings of a nice little site.
Lythe Caravan and Camping site was a lovely, clean and friendly campsite. The staff were very polite and helpful, the bathrooms were clean all the time as was the rest if the site. With the pub just at the end of the path it was very handy, the food in the pub was delicious, with a very welcoming atmosphere. I would recommend that the pub be opened on a morning as me and my party did not have any cooking facilities with us and took a 20 minute walk down a steep bank to get to a cafe, this is not a great problem if your ok to drive! There is a shop over the road from the campsite which sold a wide variety of things, which was handy. Over a very good experience, will most probably visit there again for a pleasant weekend away.
St arrived back after two nights at Lythe Caravan and Camping. We were made very welcome and thoroughly enjoyed our stay despite rain, rain and more rain. Pods are certainly the place to be when it's cold and rainy outside. Clean and comfy we were very pleased with our first pod experience.
The shower block/toilets were clean and there was plenty of space and a hairdryer in the ladies. Washing up area was nice also and has two kitchen sinks which are also clean and pleasant.
Location is excellent and very handy for many little coastal areas such as Sands end which is also visible from the campsite.
Only concern if any was the muddiness which is a direct result of the awful rain and is largely unavoidable.
The Stiddy is the pub on site and is lovely, apparently the food is amazing but evening meals are only served on Wed Thurs Fri and Saturday (we stayed Sun to Tues).
