Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 Great campsite. No shelter from the wind but wouldn't put us off going again. Clean showers & toilets. Park was great for kids & swimming pool was also good for £3 each.
Good stay for the price Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 The park was good for the price we paid. There was an abandoned tent next to us that was there for 2 nights before it was moved.
It took up a very large pitch. The staff didn't seem to be checking tickets around the site. The toilets were okay; showers were quite dirty and we kept our shoes on, one shower flooded due to a blocked plug. Sanitary bins were all full. I feel as though the staff were all very young and their customer service skills could be improved.
Entertainment was good. Arcade needs upgrading, most the machines didn't work. The pool was great.
Wouldn't stay here again Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches (Overflow Field) Aug 2022 Good location for Filey and Scarborough and nice view over the fields.
Good shop on site selling food etc for anything you've forgotten. We booked late, so booked in the overflow field which had no facilities other than 4 portaloos, which we were aware of. The nearest toilet block had 3 toilets and 3 showers which were near the caravans. The toilets were really dirty. I couldn't tell if they'd been cleaned from Saturday to Sunday. I saw the portaloos being cleaned once on a morning but it wasn't enough. The smell was was really bad from the drains when the showers were turned on and there were long queues for showers in the morning. There was a lot of rubbish everywhere as the bins hadn't been emptied.
The noise on the campsite meant we had very little sleep on Saturday night. Not surprising, bearing in mind some campers had been drinking cans of cider from the morning. There were also cars racing up and down the road at break neck speeds during the evening which was terrifying, bearing in mind there were lots of children staying on the site.
If you want a party, this is the campsite for you!
Lovely few days away with my family!
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 Crows Nest was situated perfectly for us to visit different places around, like Scarborough, Filey Bay and just under a hour to Whitby.
Kids loved the pool, park and entertainment. We had a lovely coastal walk at night with wonderful views.
Great site plenty of facilities
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 Had a brilliant stay here lovely clean facilities and close to local amenities. Can't fault this site in any way and highly recommend this site to anyone thinking of staying here.
Lovely campsite
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 Lovely campsite, easy to find and central to reach different coasts. Nice view of sea.
Lush!
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 We had a lush stay in our tent overlooking the sea and the beautiful countryside. The facilities are perfect and you wouldn't need to leave if you wanted a relaxing break! Plenty to see close by if you wanted to venture out for the day.
The site store is reasonably priced, and it also has a bar, pool and fish & chip takeaway!
We will definitely return!
Fantastic stay
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 Just returned from Crows Nest today after staying for 2 nights.
I'm not a seasoned professional camper so I don't have much to compare to, but I found our stay to be fantastic. We went with friends - 6 adults and 5 children in total. The park was easy to find and very quiet when we arrived on Sunday morning. Pitches up in the middle of the main field with close enough to access the toilets and kids park, but far enough away to not be disturbed by other making their way over to those areas
I found the shower and toilets acceptably clean. We did go to the shop several times and used the chip shop. I was expecting these to be expensive as normally on site facilities can be, but they was both very reasonable priced.
I would recommend Crows Nest to others and would not think twice about attending again.
Amazing! Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 Great value for money and plenty to do. Scarborough was just a 10-15 minute drive away. Facilities are close to the camping fields and dog friendly!
Great family campsite
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 Shop was great, super cheap and had everything.
Fish shop was tasty!
Kids disco was brilliant.
Park catered for all and was lots to do.
Swimming was ideal for younger children, would definitely return!
Mixed bag Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches (Overflow Field) Jul 2022 This campsite is a bit of a mixed bag for me. I'm not sure if we'd stay again, though if we did, we wouldn't stay on the overflow field. We were camping, but I also think the chalets or a caravan would have possibly been a better experience.
We only stayed for 2 nights as I wouldn't have wanted to camp for a week. On the plus side, it was a fantastic location with easy access to Scarborough and Filey, the onsite fish and chips were amazing and the lady who welcomed us at reception was lovely. The shop was really useful and there was a busy bar with entertainment which looked like it had a good atmosphere, although we didn't visit the bar ourselves. However there just weren't enough facilities to cater for the overflow fields. I thought they were very busy and the portaloos were grubby, I couldn't bring myself to use them after the first couple of times. The closest shower block could have been a lot cleaner too and the shower cubicles were really small, so difficult with kids, especially in the wet weather when you're trying to keep dry clothes dry and organise everything etc. On other sites I've been on, the cleaning is often stepped up during wet weather with a squeegee to keep the floors nice and clean and usually cleaned ready for people waking up in the morning. This didn't seem to be the case here, the floors were sodden and muddy with soggy loo roll everywhere and overflowing bins. The pool was chaos, not that clean and with far too much chlorine. The lifeguards were young and bored. The laundry and best shower block were miles away at the top of the site.
I think overall, it would benefit from the overflow fields being made into proper pitches with an additional shower block/laundry and pot washing. This would also make it safer as there was some really crazy driving and random tent pitching.
Great base for the Yorkshire Coast
Motorhome - All Weather Touring Super Pitches (Upper Area) Jul 2022 We stayed on the large fully serviced pitch which came with your own tap and drain which was useful for our motorhome.
Although where we were was great, we were fairly close to the top field for tents which just seemed like a free for all, pitch wherever you want! There were some noisy guests playing loud music but after 11pm, the site rules were adhered to.
There was a great dog walking field which was fenced in but as a dog owner, I was dismayed to find lots of dog mess around the site. Although there were lots of bins around for people to pick up and put in.
My biggest gripe again was other dog owners who thought it was ok for them to let their dogs bark freely for long periods of time. This was hugely annoying when all you want to do is sit and have some peace and quiet next to your van. Not the park owners fault though.
Bins were emptied regularly and good sized facilities for showers, toilets etc. My husband was happy to report that it was the cleanest Elson he had ever used!
I don't think that I would return to Crows Nest as too busy for us but we still had a lovely stay here.
Family friendly with good facilities Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2022 The campsite has lots to offer and the facilities from pot washing to showers on the top campsite are very good. The entertainment did drag on to quite late (after 10.30pm) on Friday and Saturday, which carries around the site. Placed very close to Clayton Bay (dog-friendly year round) and you can take the two-mile walk across the cliff tops. A campsite used by plenty of families.
