We camped at Withernsea Sands this year. Last year we camped at Skipsea Sands nearby but that didn't have a beach access and we had to drive to get to a beach and as swimming in the sea is our kids (8, 11, 14, 16( highlight of any holiday, we decided to try Withernsea Sands. We booked last minute and it was one of the cheapest electric pitches.
The campsite was tidy and there was a playpark a few meters away from our pitch which kept the younger 2 children happy. The toilets and showers were tidy. There was warm water and the temperature in the block had been set to lovely 30 degrees. The shower lasted about 10-15 seconds before having to press the button again but apart from that, no issues. There were 4 sinks for washing up next to the toilet/shower block.
Entertainment passes were included in the price as we booked directly with Parkdean but we barely used them as the weather was nice.
The Withernsea town was nice and the shops we went to were all really cheap considering it's a seaside resort. We also played a game of bowling in the town that cost our family of 6 £12 which I thought was really good value.
There is an Aldi and a Tesco in town for all your supermarket needs. We thoughts bbqs weren't allowed so didn't take our camping bbq and had to drive to Hull to get one from Go Outdoors but apart from that the town has everything you need.
One day we drove to Spurn Discovery centre and walked to the lighthouse which unfortunately was closed that day so we didn't grt a chance to go inside. But the 6 mile walk was really nice, there was also a bunker to see near the lighthouse, and another one by the discovery centre. It was £5 to park all day so a nice cheap day out with loads of wild life to see. The views were amazing.
All in all, we had a lovely break and would definitely go again and recommend this place, mainly for it's location and well maintained toilet/shower block but had it been bad weather, I'm sure we would have also enjoyed the park's indoor facilities such as the pool and the restaurant. via mobile
Dull. We booked this 3 weeks before we went. We paid our money and were then told we can only book activities 6 weeks before arrival. So no activities can be done. We only managed to get in the pool once for general swim because it was booked up for activities.
Other than that there is just a small children's playground on the site. There was a small arcade and a food court/club. Very very small. Nothing on really considering it was smack in the middle of the school holidays.
The site was well maintained and clean. Showers were old so we didn't use.
The town of withensea were having a carnival week. God knows how dull it is without that. And don't be fooled by the " award winning beach" it's a thousand steps down and if you have pushchairs or wheelchairs or just bad legs. Your not going on the beach. Which was full of stones. Best thing is to go into withensea and access the beach from there it's much better but not award winning.
We couldn't get the canopy or windbreakers up as the ground was stone hard.
Absolutely awful site, the toilets are filthy and flooded with water where kids have left the taps on, no toilet paper, and only 2 shower cubicles in the ladies and 2 in the men's.
There are spaces for at least 40 units in the touring section. Whilst we were there, there was a fight in the beer garden, the police and ambulance were called and took someone away, then at 2 in the morning there was more fighting and shouting coming from the statics.
One of our party went to the toilet at 1 am and inadvertently went back to the wrong tent, it was pitch black and no security lights. They apologised to the campers, but the next morning Steve the cleaner came and tried to throw us off site. We explained that it had been a genuine mistake and asked to see the manager, he wouldn't come down to see us, instead leaving the cleaner to do his dirty work whilst he hid in his office, and we weren't allowed to go to his office.
The lady whose tent our party member had gone to by mistake had complained about the fighting and mentioned the mishap with the wrong tent, but the fighting was ignored, and we were asked to leave.
Eventually, the mess was sorted out, and we were allowed to stay, not a single word of apology was given, and no sign of the manager, and don't even ask about customer service, it doesn't exist here.
Some of our party went to the swimming pool on the first night, to be told you have to book, but it was full all weekend, the lifeguard told them to go at 10 in the morning as they would let in extras, but on arrival they were told by the receptionist that they were full. Our party went directly to the lifeguard, who then let them in the pool. No one on reception has a clue about anything.
All they care about are the 'owners' and campers are treated as second class. We will never go to this site again, it's a shame as it's local to us, and it has good facilities. via mobile
As a touring customer the most important thing to my family and definitely myself is the toilet/shower block, they need to be clean!
This is the second visit to Withernsea sands the 1st was ok, but this yr they must have new cleaners, as the toilets/ shower block were absolutely spotless!
So thank you to the Male cleaner steven for making my stay very comfortable, you are a credit to the park! via mobile
This was our 3rd visit to the site and once again our stay was very good for the off peak price.
All grass electric pitches were found to be level and all the shower / toilet facilities were impeccable.
The entertainment throughout the day and evening is great for young kids although the bar and food prices are costly but to be expected with a captive audience.
All in all a pretty good off peak venue. via mobile

Our third day here, two adults, 4 kids. We paid for the upgrade thank god! Our 3 bed caravan is fine, clean and lovely warm. Radiators in every room as well as a fire. 32” tv/dvd in the living room. Beds comfy enough. Plenty of kitchen appliances. We requested a caravan near the park so the kids could play out and I could keep an eye on them. We were right opposite, it had a big zip wire which kept them entertained for hours!
Aldi close by and a McCalls 7/11 just around the corner. I also spotted a few pubs 5 minutes away. The shop on site hardly has anything in it.
We didn’t eat on site but from what I saw it’s very overpriced for typical pub grub (£8. 95 for burger and salad!) Make sure you book your hourly slot for the pool otherwise you won’t be aloud in! The pool is tiny and not much atmosphere at all. Kids were bored with it after 2 days so we went to the leisure centre in Withernsea which has slides etc. Arcade area small but ok and has the usual stuff you’ll find on most sites. The staff around the pool are lovely, helpful and friendly, I can’t say the same for the reception and bar staff!
The town itself is rundown and quite depressing! The fast food places I wouldn’t touch with a barge pole! The beach is pebbles, not sand and it’s a 20 minute walk not 5! There's nothing in the town apart from rundown charity shops and a few arcades that look like they need a good clean. Withernsea itself is a bit of a dump and reminded me of Blackpool only on a much, much smaller crappier scale.
We made the most of our holiday and intended on chilling for the week and not doing much so it was ok for what we wanted. If it was peak season and it was our main Holiday I may have cried! Thankfully it wasn’t!
Visiting nearby family with my two young daughters and when I finally found my pitch (wasn't shown there, never saw a warden that other reviews mention) and saw the state of it, asked my family to put up my daughters. There was rubbish all over the tent field and my pitch and the field was cramped. If my tent wasn't so small I doubt I'd have been able to be 6m from the nearest one!
After one night's experience of sleeping on the noisy site and using the AWFUL toilet/shower block (filthy, never any toilet roll, broken locks, queuing for ladies to always find it was young boys using them alone), I also stayed with family for the rest of the trip.
Took the girls swimming one day (best to book) but there's no keys for lockers, so belongings were not secure. The visit was ruined anyway by parents letting older children jump and splash the younger children in the small pool.
I've stayed in more basic sites but they were clean and other campers respected the place. For supposedly good facilities, this site was very poor.
