  • Peaceful, dog-friendly site two miles from the beach
  • A 10-minute drive to Hornsea and 15 minutes to Bridlington
  • Pub and shops a short walk away
Nothing like a bit of sea breeze to revitalise all your senses, eh? And there's plenty of that to be had around Samara Caravan Park, in the peaceful town of Skipsea. This East Yorkshire site is a short jaunt from several seaside towns: you can drive five minutes to the nearest beach (or follow the sound of lapping waves on foot) or get out to bigger towns like Hornsea (10 minutes' drive) and Bridlington (15 minutes). Meanwhile, the heritage grounds of Flamborough are 25 minutes away, where you can catch auks and gannets diving from chalky cliffs. A good antidote to hectic everyday life, this relaxed site is set up with facilities like toilets, showers and water points to top up your bottles or for your pots and pans, as well as a chemical disposal point. There are plenty of friendly faces on this family-run site, ready to point you in the direction of countryside jaunts, old ruins, and the best surf. Dogs are welcome at this site, so make sure you save a space for your furry friend. It’s a five-minute stroll to food shops, as well as a Yorkshire ice cream parlour (bubble gum ice cream, anyone?). Don't fancy cooking? Take advantage of the local pub garden two minutes away, where you can wet your palate with a warming cask ale or hot meal. Please note that fires and disposable barbecues are not permitted. Please note that pets must be kept on a lead as the site has free-range chickens.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Flat site with level hardstanding, and additional hardstanding pitches being put in the day we arrived. The owners are lovely, friendly and extremely helpful - quickly resolved our battery issue! There is a small toilet and shower block which we found ideal for our needs - it is not a huge site. We don't have children and didn't see any there during our one nights stay so we couldn't really judge on site's suitability for children 🙂

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: The owners

Disliked: The temp shower block cold and unclean No lights on pitches. The price should have been reduced until site is finished

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: It does state on pitchup that a torch will be needed at night. Most of our guests like the fact that it is dark at night. Toilet and shower block is cleaned every day 2-3 times a day, it was november when you visited so may have been a little cold in there unfortunately but the shower is nice and hot and free. The location you were placed was in the large part of the site that is completed, the area that was not finished when you were here was the other end of the site and did not obstruct or cause any nuisance to yourself. Many Thanks

Great site. Friendly owners.…

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Friendly welcome. Pitch sites level.

Disliked: Road noise. Walk into town on narrow pavements due to overgrown weeds especially nettles protruding onto path. Proximity of next awning to our vehicle.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: The pavement into town is a normal size pavement, unfortunately the overgrown weeds are the councils responsibility. But you can still walk on the pavement away from the nettles. The area that you were parked are 2.5m of hardstanding area for your motorhome and then 8metres of grass area, I'm not sure how much grass you required, but this is larger than most parks. Thanks for your comments.

Liked: nothing really

Disliked: showers, toilet ,busy road

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your comment, You might not have noticed the signs around the toilet block stating that these are temporary and we are building new ones at the end of the season. The road can get slightly busy first thing in the morning and around teatime, which is when people in the village are travelling to and from work. On a sunday morning there is a little more traffic than normal, due to people travelling past us to the market and carboot sale, which is well known around this area.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Was greeted by the lovely owner and guided to our pitch. She asked if we needed water which we did and placed us near one of the taps. The site itself is quiet but placed well for walks and the local pub is lovely. Yes, ladies toilet is limited and there is only one shower but they are clean. We will be back.

Local attractions

Being just two miles from Fraisthorpe Beach (10 minutes’ drive), it wouldn’t be a holiday without time spent digging moats on the sandy beach, examining rock pools, or chasing the pup into the surf (it’s dog-friendly too) Further afield, more coves can be found at the chalk cliffs of Flamborough Headland Heritage Coast (30 minutes). The expanses of East Yorkshire countryside are right on your doorstep too. Pull on your wellies and prepare to hurdle the country stiles – and while you’re roaming, check out the earthwork left in the wake of the ruins of Skipsea Castle (two minutes), which used to be an old Norman motte-and-bailey fortress. You won’t be short of activities for the whole family in this area either. Perhaps prepare a picnic to enjoy on the grounds of the family-run working farm at Honeysuckle Farm (10 minutes). Then, pop by Mr Moo’s Ice Cream Parlour (two minutes) for some real mouth-watering Yorkshire dairy ice cream – orange marmalade, ticklee toffee, and blackberry slammer are just some of their out-of-the-box flavours. Less of a sweet tooth? Dig into a heartier meal in the beachfront pubs of Bridlington and Hornsea (each within a 15-minute drive) or venture into markets of Beverley (30 minutes).
