Stunning views

On arrival, staff at reception were friendly and helpful. The pitches are a good size and the views are stunning. Nice walk into Robin Hood's Bay and bus from Fylingthorpe to Whitby and Scarborough if you don't fancy the walk along the old railway track. We stayed on a very busy weekend, so noisy until about 10pm with children playing, then settled down and quiet overnight, apart from odd farm animal but we expect that staying on a farm and was quite nice! Facilities are okay but not really big enough for the volume of people staying, no room to move or use handwashing sinks in the female facilities, there is another block near reception though, but cannot comment on them as never used. My husband used the dish washing area, water warm and lights appeared to not work? Again, may be overuse as busy. We stayed without electricity and was pricier than most places we've stayed at, but you can't beat the views and we'd certainly consider staying again.

I am glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. The pot-wash light was fixed the next day. We hope to see you again.

The site is perfectly located just 15 minutes-ish walk from the bustling beach of Robin Hoods Bay (keep an eye out on tide information!) Just 15/20 minutes drive into Whitby (we recommend using the park and ride so easy and £2.80 day ticket) Has loads of walks that you can access from the site. It did get a lot busier on the Friday compared to midweek meaning there were queues for showers, toilets and washing up areas, but the water was always hot. Not much space for the dog to run around so if they are not used to being on a lead go when it's quieter. We will return here. The pod had everything we needed, spacious and comfortable. Thank you!

Thank you for your review. It is appreciated. It is a requirement of the park that all dogs are kept on a lead at all times.
Great site with good facilities in an ideal location

This is a large site but it was very well-managed. The facilities were always available and clean. Clear instructions on where to set out your pitch. No wi-fi, it could be purchased for an additional charge. The location was perfect, less than a miles walk to Robin Hoods Bay and only 6 miles walk along the coast to Whitby. Plenty of buses available to Whitby and Scarborough. Would recommend.

Not for us, more for young kids

Paid for 2 nights but left after the first, lots of rules about dogs, but kids running wild amongst the pitches. Not for couples or adults, more of a big crèche. Facilities lacking but I can imagine with the large amount of families, must be hard to keep on top of it. Just not enough for amount of demand. Locations okay, got some nice walks nearby that were relatively peaceful. Robin Hood's Bay isn't a nice beach and the place is rammed with people. But, if you're a family with young kids, I'm sure it's fine.

Facilities great, lovely spot, reception staff very good. Everything on hand, bus stop approximately 5 minutes away, can walk down to Robin Hood bay easily, but for us oldie-goldies, bus or taxi back! Great for families, definitely recommend.

The location was great with a nice walk to the beach. The hardstanding uses a mixture of small rocks (35 to 40mm in size) with the normal gravel used. We spent 40 minutes clearing off 30kgs or so into the hedge before we could put up the awning, and the surface was still awful and has damaged the awning. The high-priced Wi-Fi was just ok, if a bit flaky. The toilet block is a bit tired, the push down taps were impossible to use by our three year old. The hand dryer was faulty. The showers were the most awful I have come across though, not because of cleanliness but the 5 minute timer. You cannot restart it after this and I was left (covered in shampoo and soap!) having to move into a thankfully vacant cubicle. It was humiliating. We overheard conversations from other about their anxiety of the time running out - there is no indication of the time left. The "welcome" sheet is headed 'Rules', which just about sums it all up. What could have been a nice break was very disappointing and we won't be coming back here again.
Site's response
Obviously, you do not read our notices. The push taps are to conserve water because people leave them running, including the hot taps! How do you expect a 3 year old child to reach and turn on a tap? A 3 year old should be accompanied by an adult in any case. All well run Campsites have rules, you have to!
Lovely site close to beach

Wonderful site. It really is close (and easy to access Robin Hood's Bay and the beach). Check-in was simple. Facilities great. Only marked down on cleanliness as sometimes the toilets were a little unclean. But, I think that was down to the people staying being mucky pups rather than on the part of the site. They were cleaned every day but shall I say were also 'well-used'. Thoroughly recommend.

Great location, well laid out, bit windy, but it is near the moors and on the coast so what can you expect! Would prefer if it was not so popular, but that's life!
Site's response
Thank you for your 5 star review. It has been windy all over the country recently. We are in the bottom of the valley and are generally sheltered from the worst of the winds. We hope to see you again.
Great location, but more basic facilities

Fantastic location, 10-15 min walk to Robin Hood Bay. Iis very steep and rough to get down to. 10 min walk to the bus to get into Whitby or Scarborough. Facilities are basic, but reasonably well maintained and cleaned. Could have done with more bins, like one near the washing up. Also the taps are 'push' on, but actually you have to hold them down to make them run, which means you can't actually wash your hands while holding them down which was a little frustrating. The big downside was how packed in everyone was to one another. Tent guide ropes were overlapping and some people's tents were almost touching. Little to no room for kids to play next to the tent/van. There was a big empty field next to us where older children were playing football, but obviously didn't want to send my young child alone. Ultimately, I wouldn't stay again as it just felt too cramped.

Thank you for your review. Basic facilities? We have toilets, private washrooms, showers, hand wash basins, hand dryers, hair dryers, a bath, childrens' changing rooms, full disabled wet room, undercover potwash sinks, free ice pack freezing, and a full laundry! Is this basic? The path to the beach through our fields and the wood is neither steep nor rough. This is the countryside, please do not expect a tarmac path through fields. As regards the taps being "push down", why not use the sink plug to wash your hands? You would only ever see tent guy ropes close to another tent if they were family and wanted to be close together!

This site is absolutely lovely. When we booked in, the welcome we received was very friendly and welcoming. Good information given 👍. The patch we were given was big and the ground was well looked after. Again excellent. The views were out of this world. Facilities were clean and the showers 👍 great. Access to Robin Hoods Bay walking from the site was easy and only 15 minutes walk. So lovely to walk through the fields. Again, amazing views. Don't honestly know what else say, it's just a excellent well-looked after site. The gaps between each tent was very good. We will be back, so keep doing what you are doing. Thank you for our lovely camping.

Nice and quiet and full of friendly guests. No music and no noise after 10:30, which was great. Shower/wash block and an adjacent field to walk/run the dog. Walking distance to Robin Hood's Bay and at least 2 pubs - we will be back.

Lovely soft flat grass for easy pitching. A short walk to Robin Hood's Bay, downhill all the way (so a bit of a lungbuster on the way back!). Good facilities and very clean. A great stay.

I camped with my wife and our son for 3 nights on the non-electric field. The pitch provided was more than large enough for what we required, The location was fantastic. I would recommend a walk down to Boggles Hole if you're after a beach day. The Flyingdale Inn, 10 minutes from the campsite, was great for food and had a cracking beer garden. We will definitely be back to use this site again.

The site was great, lovely place. Unfortunately, some areas were dirty but can't put that down to the site. Takes 2 mins to clean areas, like washing up, that were filthy at times.
