  • Well-maintained Yorkshire campsite with clifftop views
  • Withernsea five minutes' drive; 20 minutes to Spurn Point
  • Heated shower block; secure site with CCTV
Set in an impressively peaceful spot just a short distance from the Yorkshire coast, Hollym Airfield Caravan and Camping is a laidback site in a scenic clifftop location. With spacious grass pitches and lots of fine views, this family-friendly site – where well-behaved dogs are also welcome to come and join you on your travels – is about a mile and a half from the local town of Withernsea and 40 minutes' drive from Hull. The nearest beach is roughly 10 minutes away on foot, and if you keep heading along the shore (when the tide is out) you'll soon reach the town centre (25 minutes from base), where you can access its handy shops, supermarkets, promenade and leisure centre. Hollym Airfield Caravan and Camping is a family-run business with well-maintained amenities, including a washing-up area, a water refill point, a grey water disposal point, CCTV for extra security and a heated toilet and shower block with disabled facilities. After a day of long exploring, you could light up a barbecue by your pitch, explore the various eateries on offer in Withernsea or tuck into a traditional fish and chips there or in other coastal spots such as Hornsea (35 minutes) or Bridlington (an hour).

What customers say

This is a spacious and well-maintained campsite offering stunning sea views and direct beach access. Visitors frequently praise the immaculate toilet and shower facilities, friendly and helpful staff, and the relaxed atmosphere. The flat pitches and proximity to Withernsea town are also highlighted as positives. While generally very positive, some guests mentioned occasional windy conditions and a desire for more shower facilities during busy periods.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked I recently stayed at a small, quiet campsite right on the coastal seafront and had such a lovely experience. The location was perfect – peaceful, with beautiful sea views and just the right atmosphere for unwinding. It felt tucked away, yet close enough to enjoy walks along the beach and take in the fresh sea air.

The site itself was clean, well kept, and not overcrowded, which made it even more relaxing. Facilities were great and everything I needed, and the calm surroundings made for a really restful stay, thanks.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Amazing views of the north sea. Easy access and lots of space. We wanted to be by the cliff top so the site kindly lent us an extension for our electric hook up. Toilets and showers are very clean and modern.

Disliked More fresh water points at the far end of the site. Unless we missed it

Electric grass pitch

Liked The view was amazing, epic scenery. Easy walk into town and shops so a great location.

Disliked Minimal and low quality toilet and showers. Paid for an electric pitch but needed a 25m extension cable to reach from the hook up to our pitch, only thanks to a kind stranger who leant me one were we able to use the electric. This should have been made clear and really the site should have provided.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi David you don’t necessarily need a long cable. The only reason that you did is because you were staying with your friends who are regulars and like been on the cliff top. When you stay with us you can choose whether to stay near the electric points or towards the cliff top. And the cable you were given was one of ours.

Clean facilities. Great view Privacy Good vibes…

Local attractions

History and heritage abound around here: you're about five minutes' drive from such spots as RAF Holmpton bunker or Withernsea's well-maintained lighthouse museum, where you can learn about the area's mariners and airfarers of yesteryear. There are several more museums to explore in Hull (40 minutes), including Wilberforce House, where you can find out more about abolitionist and MP William Wilberforce, Kingston upon Hull's most celebrated son. Birdwatchers should pack some sturdy footwear, some binoculars and a thermos flask and head to Spurn Point (20 minutes), a spectacular nature reserve that extends for well over a mile into the North Sea. Seabirds also flock to Flamborough Head (an hour), just north of Bridlington, which is well worth visiting if you don't mind the drive. Brought kids who'll need to be kept entertained? Take them for a spin around the animal enclosures at Bugtopia Hornsea Zoo (35 minutes), or alternatively pack plenty of spare change and dispatch them to the arcades in Withernsea and Hornsea.
