Beaches surround the campsite (added by manager 29 jul 2022)

  • Family park a few miles from the beach
  • Well-stocked fishing lake on site, plus bait and tackle shop
  • Pool, sauna, steam room, gym, indoor/outdoor play and bar-restaurant
Don’t forget your bucket and spade… a golden sandy beach is a short drive from Sand-le-Mere Caravan & Leisure Park… The beach is only the beginning at this smart family site, where the owners have invested £4 million on a swish range of activities and facilities. Tiddlers, small sorts and bigger kids will all be sorted at the indoor heated pool with a kids' splashzone and waterslide, or at the indoor soft play areas and the outdoor adventure playground… there are also pool tables, amusements and crazy golf for family comps indoors and out. And for the grownups? They might care to venture along to the well-equipped gym, or, if that's most certainly not an option on hol, to simmer gently in the sauna and steam room. Anglers are excellently catered for here: a coarse fishing lake is on site, and the stretch of coast from Bridlington to Spurn Point is so famed for fishing that Sand-le-Mere hosts the annual European Beach Fishing Championships… Whatever you opt for, collect the kids for an evening in the bar-restaurant, where there's also Sky Sports, a café and takeaway.

Camping pod

Liked: Lovely place so close to the beaches. Fantastic pool sauna steam room

Disliked: Plates and glasses sat around on the tables in restaurant for hours the place wasn't busy and all the young staff just watching TV. Swearing to chef if orders wrong but could be heard by most of the place

Liked: We had a fantastic time at Sand Le Mere it was our 1st visit and our maiden voyage in our motor home. Our 3 year old loved the entertainment especially the Dolly Popz! All the staff were friendly and helpful. The pizza's are very nice would defiantly recommend. Will be visiting again.

Disliked: drinks are a bit pricey and couldn't get a seat to watch the evening entertainment as it was so packed.

Camping pod

Liked: The staff were friendly and the Pods are cute. But the bed are terrible, we went glamping so that we would have a real beds 🙄, one of the worstbeds i have ever slept in. The food at the restaurant was not very good, apart from the pizza. All in all, for want I paid for the holiday, I will not be going back.

Camping pod

Liked: The camping pod itself was really nice however, I have a feeling this is only because they are new and not had enough use to not be!

Disliked: Toilets and washing facilities were disgusting! Shower hardly worked, hair dryer didn’t work. Maintenance guy came and took it away rather then fix it. Staff at restaurant were just kids and very slow, half of the amusements didn’t work and nothing to buy with the tickets except Jelly Beans that were out of date! No toilet roll in public toilets anywhere so had to carry our own. No communication on activities, inflatable was not advertised and when we asked about it were told they don’t really let people know about it and laughed it off. Needs less to say we will not be going back. Very dirty, staff have no clue what to do. We stayed in a bell tent on a farm for the last night as we were so disappointed and even this was cleaner!

Liked: Playgrounds

Disliked: Pitch was right behind club (28) you could hear everything , music didn’t stop until 1a.m . Activities was a shambles no one really knew what they was doing. I asked about a few things got different answers , shame you have to book activities online but WiFi not much use so may take you a while . The pub was busy on our first night we had something to eat staff managed well , bar staff was very good at working fast and getting on with their job although couldn’t eat our dinners with a knife and folk as there wasn’t any so had to use spoons .

Camping pod

Liked: My little boys thought it was so exiting sleeping in the pods. We absolutely loved the experience. There's everything to do at sand le mere, beach was 5mins away. Big Park for the kids to go crazy while we could grab a drink and watch them. Great swimming baths the list Is endless. We will be definitely returning

Disliked: Pods could do with cleaning abit better. It wasn't up to my standard but I can't fault anything else it's been fantastic.

Local attractions

York’s many attractions cater to all tastes: history hounds, culture vultures, wannabe Vikings, shopaholics, and train- and plane- spotters. Scale the soaring heights of the Minster, plough the gory depths of the dungeons, or lose all sense of direction in the massive York Maze… Hull (35 minutes' drive) is well worth a visit, for its fab aquarium, transport and maritime museums, Ferens Art Gallery, and William Wilberforce House. Visitors can also go messing around on various boats, including the Spurn Lightship, and then there’s the ice rink, great shopping, theatres and more. Another recommendation is to work your way along the Yorkshire coastline, to sample the spooky drama of Whitby Abbey, the classic seaside attractions of Scarborough, and the beaches at Bridlington and Hornsea. Nature buffs can make for the huge white cliffs of Flamborough Head, home to thousands of nesting seabirds; other options for ornithologists include the North Cave Wetlands, or Spurn Point. For the kids, try Flamingo Land theme park, get out the wellies for a trip to Honeysuckle Farm in Hornsea, or let them Go Ape in the treetops in Dalby Forest. The area is peppered with golf courses and equestrian centres too: for something a bit different, guests can book in for a beginner’s polo lesson at Beverley Polo Club nearby. Other options include sailing, rowing, fishing and boat tours at Hornsea Mere (30 minutes), taking in a footie or rugby match in Hull, or feeling lucky (perhaps) at the horse racing of York and Beverley.
