Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2025

Perfect location, just north of Filey and south of Scarborough. There were plenty of toilets/showers so no queuing. They were always clean. Really enjoyed the band playing in the pub. The fish and chips were great. The only criticism I would have would be the shop was not very well stocked but it is only a quick drive to Tesco. Would deffo stay here again.

Surprisingly quiet!

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2025

We camped in a non-electric pitch at the top of the site. Arrived around 2pm on Friday of bank holiday weekend and managed to get a pitch overlooking the sea (be warned though this is also furthest from the toilets). Fabulous views across to Scarborough, and cd walk straight onto the cliff path to Filey or Cayton Bay. The site was pretty full but also pretty quiet by around 11 at night which I was pleasantly surprised by. We only had contact with the receptionist on arrival who was very pleasant and helpful in directing us through the site. Shop is well-stocked and ok for price. We didn't use the pool or restaurant so can't comment. The toilets could have done with more regular cleaning but I appreciate on a packed weekend this might not be easy. Would I go back? Personally, I prefer somewhere smaller and less busy and would sacrifice bar/restaurant/pool for a calmer vibe. But for groups with a mix of ages/needs this would be a great place for a meet-up and the location between Scarborough and Filey is perfect.
