  • Family-focused holiday park in a scenic countryside setting
  • On-site fishing lake and loads of activities to entertain the kids
  • Close to plenty to do on the East and North Yorkshire coasts
Skip to see – and stay at – this holiday park on the sandy East Yorkshire coast: it's likely you’ll love it. Skipsea Sands Holiday Park is in a scenic countryside and village setting near Driffield, but is only a couple of miles from the stretch of Yorkshire coastline between Flamborough Head to Spurn Point – with Bridlington in between – and within easy driving distance of several sandy beaches. It has its own fishing lake and lots of activities and entertainment to float any individual boat. Guests can be occupied day and night should they so wish: kids can work off energy at the adventure playground, chase a shuttlecock/football or rollerblade around the massive sports hall, before cooling off at the waterjets of the indoor pool, or going along to one of the many organised activities for all ages such as dance, football, water games and a club for the under-fives. There’s a small charge to use the sports hall and for a couple of other activities like ten-pin bowling and the intriguingly named aqua jets, but all other activities are free. Elsewhere on site, bigger guests have access to the well-equipped park gym, while all ages can pile into the Pavilion family clubhouse for drinks and snacks; there are two other bars on site, as well as The Sands diner with restaurant and takeaway. Evenings are properly covered with a range of glitzy entertainment from live music to family shows. Prefer to breeze gently through your hols rather than get involved in too much activity? A Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room are on site to bubble placidly at too, all included in your pitch fee.

Lynne R. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The size of the pitches are great, they have an edge around the pitch for added privacy. Staff really helpful, plenty for the kids to do well maintained site

Disliked: 10am checkout is a bit of a cheek when you can't get on your pitch until 4pm what they need 6 hours for is beyond me Zero phone signal EE no WiFi available (some will see this as a positive)

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Facilities- pool, sauna, laundromat, shop.

Disliked: Confusion getting our allocated pitch, a lack of management for the touring/tent site apparent. Lots of rubbish off site left for the duration of our 6 day stay. No access to the beach which is 100 yards away due to coastal erosion and no action taken to allow access so far required. No wifi on touring site despite advertised.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Staff were nice and kids enjoyed the park

Disliked: Cold showers, one of the toilet blocks only had one light the other only had one toilet that had both a lockable door and a working toilet seat. No dog friendly indoor areas or covered heating areas. Litter everywhere. Bag of dirty nappies next to our pitch for our whole stay and dog mess that had not been picked up. Dog walking area was cover in dog mess. Need more effort put into all weather pitch's. Nothing to do in walking distance. Mobile signal shocking

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: The park was great for the kids, facilities clean as usual and never too far. Nice atmosphere around the park and reception staff really friendly.

Disliked: Problems with swimming pool during our visit, didn't get to use it at all and found the staff on the pool desk not very helpful.

Kristen R. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The park, facilities, etc. the reception staff are absolutely lovely and very helpful. Swimming was already full when we booked but they release extra spots daily which is a great idea!

Disliked: We were only able to book activities on the app for the day we arrived, the second day just didn't show up as an option. The showbar does not have enough space for all the families when the park is full. There were at least 6 other families (as well as us) that simply could not get seats. We had to miss out and go back to our accommodation. This is the reason for our poor value for money rating.

Very disappointing and extremely over priced, never again.

Liked: The variety of activities

Disliked: Some guests weren't very respectful of realising there's other people. Most lights didn't work in shower/toilet block so had to shower and use the toilet with very limited lighting sometimes not been able to see.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Reception staff helpful. Location to access some coastal areas. Filey, Scarborough, Bridlington, Hornsea, Flamborough and Bempton Cliffs all in driving distance.

Disliked: Stayed here years ago and enjoyed it. It is now under new ownership and maintenance is required, The site is tired. Showers were always cold. Food in bar was poor quality and expensive. Mass produced ready meals are not to my taste. I found the meals in the bar to be tasteless and very high in calories, over 1000kcal for adult portion of spagetti bolangase or chicken curry.

Local attractions

The East and North Yorkshire coast is most visitors’ first stop, from the gannets gabbing at Flamborough Head and Bempton Cliffs to the seaside shenanigans and surfing of Scarborough. If it’s raining, take the kids to Terror Tower: its three floors’ worthy of grisly special effects should silence even the most horrifying sprog. Flit to fab Filey for five miles of beach, its funfair and the start of the Cleveland Way, and nearby Bridlington for the Bird of Prey and Animal Park and Bondville Model Village. Further along the coast, Goths and others love lovely Whitby; have fish and chips at the Magpie café after an afternoon seeing Whitby Abbey and the replica of HMS Endeavour. Inland yields loads to do too, with the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales National Park both within driving distance; as it’s Yorkshire, you’ll find stately pads, historic houses and museums of all bents easily accessible too. A good option for a city day trip is lovely York, about an hour’s drive away.
