within walking distance of a couple of pubs

Liked Runswick

Liked Lovely quiet place with lovely scenery and beautiful views.friendly staff and locals very welcoming and pleasant

Disliked No hot water to take showers or was pots/pans

Liked Nice pitch wasn’t busy so had a good choice of where to be.

Disliked The facilities were just awful, the bathrooms looked like they had not been cleaned in i don’t know how long, went for a shower and all cubicals had rubbish
on the floor insects/flies all over, and to top it off there was zero hot water. Zero toilet roll in men’s nor ladies. Left asap in the morning so we could use some proper facilities! As a pregnant lady with a 1 year old it just wasn’t fit for our use.

From the manager: Hi,

I'm so sorry about the issues you experienced with us, we have only just opened for the year and our manager and cleaning staff quit without notifying us.

These issues have now been rectified and hope to see you again in the future.

Liked Close to the bay/beach.
Friendly welcome and info when we arrived.
Clean, warm, accessible shower/ toilet block.
5 min walking distance to local pub, which serves pub food at reasonable prices.
Bay was really good for crabbing.
Flat ground, we used our levellers to get van horizontal.
Drinking water easily accessible from a few points around site.
Other families so our child had someone to play with.
Large site, so not claustrophobic/too close to others.

Disliked Open to the elements - very windy during our stay.
Not very good signal for our phones, which made it tricky to stay in contact with each other.
No electric hookup - not a big problem as we have a leisure battery.

Liked Lovely campsite, ideally placed for us. Clean washroom, toilets.

Disliked No electric hookup

Liked The location is ideal for the Cleveland Way, tucked in a cute little coastal town. Walking distance to many facilities, such as pubs, cafes, the beach and bus stop. The site was easy to find and check-in was easy. The facilities are good, albeit a bit dated.

Disliked It is a very open field, it was exceptionally busy and we had children playing games at our tent door, dogs were off the lead (despite rules stating they must be on the lead), and a man next to us drove his car off-site around 10pm, after we watched him drinking all day, which then made me very nervous for when he returned. I feel camp sites have come a long way over these last few years and this one has been left behind some what. Simple things could make it better, such as planting a few trees/bushes to add shelter from the coastal wind (we nearly slept in our car one night the wind was that bad and some tents got damaged from the wind), as well as helping to add a bit of privacy and make the landscape more attractive. The showers could have a face lift. It would be nice/comforting if staff checked in on the campsite to ensure rules were being followed.

From the manager: Thankyou for taking the time to review us, We are in a stunning location,
We only offer our camp field in July and August as a pop up camping field so it is not officially a campsite, We do however offer full shower/toilet block facilities which are checked and cleaned regularly, it is the summer holidays so can only be expected to be extremely busy,
Shame you won’t visit again, you will miss the stunning Runswick Bay coast line,
Thankyou again Caroline
