 OK let's do all the good stuff first!
Location - very very easy to access from Scarborough, Brid, or from the A64, no nasty narrow lanes or misleading satnav issues to get here.
The touring section is at the back of a large static/holiday home site, but this is excellent, as you back onto open fields and woodland.
The on site loos, showers, waste disposal are new looking, pristine and very clean. Our hard standing pitch was easy to find, and so level, for the first time ever I never needed to use a chock or the jockey wheel to level our van. We went next to the outside hedge so our view to the rear was a lovely meadow and a wood.
Access to public transport - excellent. You can get buses into Scarborough very easily virtyally right outside the site, which is advisable as parking there can be hard to find, or you can go to several of the nice bays and beaches between Brid and Scarborough.
On site, there is the Tow Bar. I was a bit sceptical but - prices were ok, beer was good, the food looked good, the other customers were all good fun, and we even stayed and enjoyed the bingo. It's a very well managed bar/diner - respect to the lovely staff here.
So far, so good. Now the customer service. It was fine during booking and on arrival, but when it came to dealing with issues caused by other guests, I was disappointed.
On arrival, there was a large family caravan in a corner, whose kids flew around the site on an electric motorbike (against site rules), and when they left, their pitch had half a bag of litter on it, and their dog had dug over a dozen holes in the turf. Things like this happen of course, but as we saw, the owners seem to leave the touring area to itself.
The part that really loses the site points was when a motorhome parked up on the pitch next to us. This pitch is a single pitch, not big enough for an awning, so the motorhome at this time was the correct six metres away from our van.
We came back later and found that the owner had pitched a tent between his van and ours (no tents allowed on site), and it was 2. 5 metres away from our van. I pointed out that is was too close and was told he wouldn't be taking it down. He also said it was an awning - despite that fact it wasn't attached to his van, and his side door was on the wrong side anyway. We then enjoyed his snoring from said tent after he had turned his van round.
We reported it the next morning, and all I can say is that a site vehicle drove past once in the day, and nothing was done in the next two days.
Good rules to allow campers to have a nice visit are necessary, but if you don't enforce them, especially when there are very black and white breaches reported, you may as well save your time and not have any; I wonder what else the site staff would ignore.
I am willing to try again one more time and see what we get.

Excellent site, great facilities.
We will definitely be booking up for a visit again.
The Tow bar on site bar and restaurant was great for food.
Toilets and showers were kept clean.

Nice quiet site, decent size level pitches, friendly staff and quite nice on site pub.
We didn't use the toilet/shower blocks so can't offer an opinion.
Good central location and a nice walk down to the beach
Very dog friendly
Will use again

Nice quiet site, lots of wild life to see in the surrounding area.
Toilets are lovely and clean, although I did find the showers a tad small with uncomfortable under foot plastic matting (personal thing to me).
The Tow Bar entertainment was very good, was lovely to sit in the garden listening to live musical with a good pint.

We have just returned from Browns Caravan Park (a family run business) after having another lovely holiday there.
There's always a friendly greeting when you arrive, and it's lovely to feel you're a valued customer.
Showers and loos are always spotless as is the site. My eleven year old grand daughter enjoys the park and is totally safe there playing with friends.
Plus choice of 4 beaches, Cayton Bay, Scarborough, Filey and Bridlington, so somewhere different each day.
James and Nicky are always on hand if needed.

Excellent site, Toilets always clean, Site kept nice and tidy, Bus stops at The entrance to site to Filey-Scarborough-Bridlington, (Whitby by car around 50 mins away) Dog walk & kids play area/football field & BBQ area.
"The Towbar pub" is on site near the entrance serving food and theirs even a Happy Hour on certain nights. Beach is a short walk away down a steep hill & steps, However great views from the cliff tops.
Owners always friendly & helpful, Been visiting for years and already booked for 2024! Lovely site just to walk Around, So what you waiting for???

Lovely clean peaceful site great dog walk and barbecue area.
Staff friendly food at pub great though a bit busy at weekend for us personally Great for bus transport to Filey / Scarborough.
Cayton Bay itself beautiful but a bit tooo steep for the unfit.
Had a couple of great trips into Filey only 15 mins on bus and visited stained glass centre wonderful place.
Only downside was shower timers could be a little longer and a cubicle to have a wash in private would be super for people with limited facilities in their vans.

This site was spotlessly clean and very well run. unfortunately our pitch no 2 wasn't the best very small and on the end
Excellent showers which were free
A dog friendly clubhouse but they weren't allowed in bar area and a bus stop outside which we used to go to Scarborough and Filey
There was also a small village about a mile away which had a lovely tearooms and 2 pubs
All in all an excellent stay
Would definitely recommend
Will be returning

Had our grandchildren for the weekend, first visit and thoroughly enjoyed it, s
Potlessly clean facilities, grass kept short (no loose grass to paddle in the caravan), lovely play area and football field.
Beautiful food at The Towbar Inn plus play area.
One of the best sites we have been to in over 35 years of touring and are returning again in July and would rate 10 out of 10

Service was excellent staff couldn’t do enough for you.
Very close to bus stops easy to get into town and back.
Grounds were in great condition grass kept neat and tidy everywhere.
Dog run for your dog to use.
Couldn’t complain about Browns at all, every thing was perfect.

Situated between Scarborough and Filey this site offers the chance to visit both using the frequent bus service at site entrance.
Site is lovely and quiet with great facilities for price paid, this was the cheapest pitch price on a two week tour of the N/E.
Cayton beach can be walked to in about 15 mins though a steep walk back.
The Tow-Bar pub at site entrance was quite cosy with decent pub grub and some local Wold Top real ales.

Been visiting Browns year after year and still one of the very best camp sites out there,
Nothing to complain about, all Good, with the bonus of a pub serving food, and a bus stop both at the entrance to scarborough /filey /bridlington, and of course the nearby beach.
Highly Recommended.

Beautiful and clean site, very handy for the beach and all surrounding areas ie. , Filey, Scarborough etc. , Pub on site that does meals that looked nice but didn't try ourselves.
Very covid careful and asked you to wear gloves when using water taps and opening gate for dog walk.
Toilets immaculate although we used our own facilities most of the time.
Would highly recommend and will return for sure next year.

Great communication prior to visit. Great value. Immaculate facilities. Lovely extras such as second hand book room (donations for air ambulance).
Borrow a bucket and spade option was lovely. Great location 5 minutes from the beach.
On the bus route into Scarborough and Filey.
