What customers say
This is a popular, well-maintained site with stunning sea views and direct access to coastal paths. Facilities, including toilets, showers, and a swimming pool, are generally praised for cleanliness. On-site amenities like the fish and chip shop and supermarket are popular. Families highlight the excellent play park and entertainment. While many enjoy the friendly atmosphere and convenient location for exploring, some note it can be busy and noisy during peak times, with occasional issues regarding facility cleanliness and Wi-Fi availability.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Excellent site on whole and would stay again, no question
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Facilities, excellent. Clean, plenty of them. Park for kids. Views. Decent shop at good prices. Hard not to like all.
Disliked Not lots of options for a flat pitch but plenty of space for acceptable levels.
The ease people without paying for site could come and use facilities without anyone knowing they wasn’t a guest there.
Went swimming and the lockers need £1, not everyone has cash on them these days. Many just used lockers and didn’t pay to lock. We did same, unfortunately it led to my lightening McQueen crocs being stolen from my locker. If a family of 4 make sure you have £2 as lockers small and will require 2 of them.
Staff did look at cctv for me but we were pretty disappointed in the effort in this, for what was only a 1 hour period that needed checking, was done in a way we felt they didn’t care to much really. If something had been seen they could easily of been somone from off site anyway. Pool was small but great for kids with the slides. Just be sure to lock your items up.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. We’re so pleased you enjoyed the site, views and friendly atmosphere. We look forward to welcoming you again - hopefully with calmer weather next time.
Good site for exploring surrounding areas. Wouldn’t camp there again.
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Being able to pitch a larger tent, unlike some sites.
Ideal base for Scarborough, Bridlington, etc
Shop is very well stocked.
Play park for the kids was great. My grandson loves going there.
Disliked The wind is horrendous, I knew it was on the cliff facing the sea, but omg, it never let up, unable to sit out and relax and had to stay inside tent.
Tents pitched close to each other.
Quite noisy on a night, should have a rule where it’s quiet from 10.30pm.
Toilets and showers were dirty, it was packed so that’s understandable, but they should have had staff cleaning regularly throughout the day.
Never saw any staff having a ride around checking everything was ok.
Could do with a bit of a freshen up all over.
Oh and pitches were on a slant. Hard to find a flat surface.

From the manager: Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re pleased you enjoyed the location, shop and play park for your grandson. While the site can be breezy at times, it is obviously not always windy. Our toilets and showers are cleaned regularly throughout the day, though of course they will be used in between cleans. We do not operate a 10.30pm quiet time, but we do ask all guests to be considerate of others. If you are looking for a silent campsite in August then we are not the right choice. We’ll take on board your comments and are glad you enjoyed aspects of your stay.
Amazing value for money, great for families.

Facilities where good, people did respect…
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch (overflow)
Liked Facilities where good, people did respect the 11:00 quiet time.
Disliked Litter and tab ends all over the pitches. Plus dog muck as dogs roamed free. This is no fault of the site it's the people who stay there.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed the facilities and the quiet time. We do have regular checks around the site, but as you say, some issues unfortunately come down to guest behaviour. We’ll keep working hard to maintain the grounds and hope to see you again.
Very pleasant campsite, well maintained and lots to do.
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked We enjoyed our short stay over the weekend. There was plenty of space to choose from when pitching and all amenities clean, warm and working. The kids park was a huge hit and was really busy almost all day.
The swimming pool on site is a fantastic opportunity as is the popular Fish and Chip shop.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely feedback. We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay, found the facilities clean and welcoming, and that the children loved the play park and swimming pool. It’s great to hear you also enjoyed the fish and chip shop. We look forward to welcoming you back again.
Good and clean toilets Good entertainment…

Liked Good and clean toilets
Good entertainment and swimming pool, shop with decent prices
Disliked Some tent pitches far from toilet block
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your comments. We’re glad you enjoyed the facilities, entertainment and shop. Some tent pitches are further from the toilet block, but guests choose where to go in the fields, and many appreciate the extra space and quieter setting they provide.
Great supermarket on site, lovely fish…
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch (overflow)
Liked Great supermarket on site, lovely fish and chip shop and our little one loved the pool.
Disliked Toilet and showers were tired, cold and very unclean. I chose not to use them finding alternatives elsewhere. Staff were regularly in there cleaning but site is very big and very busy. We didn’t find it child friendly either. We stayed in a tent on the overflow field which was incredibly noisy with bar noise and groups of very inconsiderate rude, drunk people. Too many tents for the space.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the shop, fish and chips and that your little one loved the pool. For this reason, it’s surprising to read that you found the site not child friendly, as many families, including your own, enjoy these facilities.
With regard to the overflow field, the photographs we use on the pitchup advert show it at full capacity. During your stay the field was less than 50% full, though it was indeed a busy August weekend. Entertainment in the bar finishes at 10pm, so noise is kept to a minimum from our own facilities at night. We do have staff monitoring the toilets, and while you found them not to your liking, our cleaning teams were working regularly throughout the day.
We feel a score of 1/10 is very harsh given your positive comments and the enjoyment your child had during your stay. Nonetheless, we appreciate you sharing your thoughts as we continually look for ways to improve.
