  • Dog-friendly park five miles from Scarborough and 2.5 from Filey
  • Award-winning amenities block, family bathroom and launderette
  • Indoor heated pool, lounge bar, family bar, play area and supermarket
Feel free as a bird at award-winning Crows Nest Caravan Park between Scarborough and Filey – this well-maintained place is roomy, green and has sea views overlooking gorgeous Gristhorpe Bay and Scarborough Castle. Crows Nest is five miles from Scarborough and two and a half miles from Filey, but if you’re taking a break from the seaside/ exploring the North Yorkshire coast there’s loads to do on site too: a lounge bar with entertainment in peak season to suit all ages and tastes, a family bar with pool tables, a games room, a play area for little fledglings and a heated indoor pool with poolside assistants during high season. The award-winning amenities block a short walk from the tent field has free hot showers, wash basins, hairdryers and socket/shaver points, and there are also family bathrooms and a disabled-access shower room. Elsewhere on site there’s a washing-up area, launderette, chemical disposal point and well-stocked supermarket. And, as you can’t come to the coast and not have fish and chips, there’s also a chippy takeaway open in high season (but they do have more fish and chips in Scarborough too). Bringing the family friend? Crows Nest Caravan Park is dog-friendly and dogs are allowed in the conservatory area of the lounge bar; there's also a dog park on site.

What customers say

Visitors praise the beautiful sea views, friendly staff, and good on-site amenities like the fish and chip shop and well-stocked shop. Facilities are generally considered clean and well-maintained, with spacious pitches and convenient access to coastal walks and public transport. However, some guests noted issues with overcrowding during peak times, occasional noise disturbances, and the need for updates to certain facilities, particularly showers and portable toilets in the overflow field.

Lower area fully-serviced gravel touring pitch (super)

Liked Great fish shop on site. On site pub, swimming pool if needed and camp shop for all your needs,

Disliked pitch wasn't big enough for van and awning so decided not to put awning up due to it being on hardstanding and grass which meant we would have to put it on the wood separating the boundary

Liked Location.

Disliked Supposed dog friendly site that is not dog friendly. Arrived after a long journey through a storm to find reception closed as "gone to lunch". Shower block in need of heating, hot water and showers that actually work. The only place on site that is open and warm in winter is the bar that is not dog friendly so told to sit in the conservatory which was freezing cold and not even a tv to watch the football. £120 for 3 nights is one of the worst value for money sites we have ever stayed at.

Local attractions

Leave the car behind: buses running between Scarborough and Bridlington pick up from the end of the Crows Nest Caravan Park drive and discount day tickets are available to keep more money for seaside rock. The kids will probably clamour first for Scarborough: there are the North Bay and South Bay beaches to bounce around as well as the traditional seaside fairground and donkey rides. But Scarborough’s also a hotspot for culture vultures, with the Scarborough Open Air Theatre, Scarborough Art Gallery and Rotunda Museum alongside regular festivals and events throughout the year. Fab Filey is even closer: this Edwardian town has a five-mile stretch of sand and is backed by the peninsula and cliffs of Filey Brigg – this is the place to birdwatch and wildlife spot, with rockpools along the beach and many species of birds and beasts to see all year round. The 110-mile Cleveland Way starts here for hiking your way around Yorkshire’s history and heritage: Scarborough Castle, Whitby Abbey and Dracula tales, Mount Grace Priory and Rievaulx Abbey are all along the route. Away from the seaside and vampires, puff between Whitby and Pickering on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, veer between villages in the North York Moors National Park or get citified around York and Hull, all within easy driving distance of Crows Nest.
