What customers say
This spacious, peaceful campsite is praised for its friendly staff and convenient location, a short walk from Scarborough. Visitors appreciated the individual bins and picnic benches provided. Although the facilities are basic, they are generally kept clean. A significant water outage was handled efficiently by staff. Some guests noted a desire for more showers, particularly during busy periods. Directions to the site could be clearer, and some found the grass cuttings left after mowing to be a minor issue.

From the manager: Hi Carly, Glad you enjoyed our site and thanks so much for your patience and understanding whilst we had a once in 30 years water outage. Yorkshire Water gave us a workaround pretty quick, but our caretaker Trigger did a sterling job to keep toilets etc. going with bottled water etc. Pleased to report that Yorkshire Water have repaired the burst water main now.
Great stay at a motorsports circuit

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The grounds were spacious with good distance to their amenities. It was nice and quiet, respectful fellow campers. The guy checking us in was very accommodating and provided us with a wheelie bin and concrete block for our bbq. There was an issue with the water but it was fixed and we were all provided with bottles of drinking water for cooking, cleaning and washing.
Walking to the south end of Scarborough took around 35 minutes and was a pleasant quiet walk.
Disliked There was an issue with the water in the toilet/shower/washing block whereby we didn't have water for the evening and through the night. This was however compensated for by supplying us (some may say oversupplying) with plenty of courtesy drinking water.

A site that knows how to handle a situation without the drama
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely quiet, spacious site. Nice welcome on arrival from Trigger along with wheelie bin and block for BBQ. The bin is a fantastic idea, not seen this before. Picnic benches also available on some pitches, another nice touch. Toilet blocks were exceptionally clean and I have to say when the site experienced a water outage due to a nearby mains burst they handled the situation swiftly and efficiently with loads of bottled water made available for personal use and in toilet/washing areas whilst still maintaining cleanliness of toilets until the issue fixed. Well done.
Not a dislike, but if I had to pick possible improvements I would suggest more than one shower per male/female, especially when the site is busy. The Triton shower itself was excellent. And perhaps a small onsite freezer for our ice packs, but that would be really picky!
Overall, we loved our stay and can’t wait to come back. Well done and thank you.

Valid point about the showers, we need more for when we're fully booked as we were last weekend. We will try increase the number of showers for next season.
Won’t be going here again

From the manager: Hi Paul,
It's a pop up campsite, it's only advertised as such, it has fresh water, elsan point, toilets, showers and plenty of space. Not sure what in our description made you think you had booked anything more than that?
Lovely
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Big Clean campsite loads of room to pitch up wherever you want, clean bathrooms with showers overall good campsite loved that it was on the racetrack, gorgeous views from the edge beautiful to watch the sunrise
Disliked Some additions could be to have some more benches as there are a few here and there (not disliked but if you have a very low car ie lowered on springs/slammed the little incline at the campsite entrance might be a little issue but aside from that it’s amazing
