  • Play area, games room and indoor pool; restaurant and bar; launderette
Whether you’re after a hiking holiday, a spot of birdwatching or bracing good times at the seaside, coastal North Yorkshire always delivers. And at Spring Willows Caravan Park, you’re well placed for all these activities – and more besides. This family- and dog-friendly site sits close to the junction of the A64, which takes you straight into Scarborough (20 minutes’ drive), and the A1039, which you can follow all the way to Filey (15 minutes). From there, you can choose to spend a day at sandy, expansive Filey Beach, or head to Filey Brigg, a narrow, ragged promontory where there are reliable sightings of migratory and breeding birds. So that’s the beaches and birdwatching taken care of. As for the hiking, Filey Brigg marks the end (or the start) of the Yorkshire Wolds Way, a long-distance route crossing spectacular valleys, woodland and chalk hills. On site, grass pitches come with splendid views of the surrounding fields, and facilities include an indoor pool, a gym, a games room and a fenced-off children’s play area with climbing structures. If you’re into experimenting with your G&Ts, the S Club Bar and Restaurant has a pretty decent selection of gins. (How decent? Well, you might find it hard to work your way through the entire menu during your stay here…) If you fancy sipping your drink under a canopy of stars, the outdoor seating area has heat lamps and warm throws. A modern and pristine toilet block with hot-water showers (plus facilities for disabled guests), a washing-up area and a launderette complete the picture.

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its fantastic location, stunning countryside views, and welcoming, friendly staff. Visitors particularly enjoyed the on-site swimming pool, hot tub, and bar area with good food. Pitches are generally spacious. However, some guests experienced issues with sloping pitches and found the toilet and shower facilities to be dated, dirty, or in need of an upgrade. The play park was also noted as being worn.

Judith S.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked We loved our time here. Its a fairly basic site it does have pool sauna etc but we didnt make use of the facilities but 3 tents around us did and said it was perfect and warm! I had read the reviews and I was worried the incline but actually no problem at all . The shower facilities were absolutely fine and cleaned regularly throughout the day. Washing machine and drier onsite too. A clean washing up area . We had the best time and the people camping at the same time were lovely. All kids played together until dark and then all settled . Lovely and quiet. Close to Scarborough and filey and playdale farm. Shell garage a very short walk . Lovely views from across the site.

Daniel M.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Steam Room and Hot Tub was a nice touch, bar looked nice and friendly (although never actually spent time in there).

Disliked Poor service on arrival, staff had no access to my booking or computer system and no idea what pitch I was supposed to be on (was told this was due to family emergency, which is understandable). Team on site said they'd bring a welcome pack after we were eventually sited, this never happened and I had to walk down to retrieve myself. Bar was closed for the first two days of our stay, then on day 2 the pool and sauna etc was closed too, due to a private function. Gym advertised and was a main reason for us choosing this site due to our son's national training commitments, this is not a gym! It's a cupboard with poor outdated equipment. Toilet/shower block has clearly been broken in to as all doors are damaged, warped and secured with a bolt from the inside but the door is never fully sealed and gaps allow visibility to other users. Toilets and showers were not cleaned regularly and we're not done at all for the first 48 hours of our arrival. Pitches are very uneven and on steep slopes, making it difficult to level your caravan fully.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Friendliness of staff who were super helpful and made us feel welcome - as did the campers in the statics.

The pool and hot tub were delightful!

Playing bingo and the stand up sit down game - such a giggle.

Situated in a great area with plenty to do or see.

We will definitely return.

Disliked Leftover rubbish on pitch including lots of tab ends - gross.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked Pitch location was great, sloping but no issue for us. Easy access to the toilet block which was cleaned at least three times a day. Well kept site.

Disliked Nothing really other than it's a shame the club isn't open every night.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Family friendly
Not too big
Good food at the bar
Good views
Park

Disliked Shared toilet/shower portaloo block for camping was disgraceful, doors didn’t shut properly and had a bit of wood on the back to stop it from opening (partner did walk in on someone)
No squeejee or mop to clean floor after shower so it’s muddy from people coming and going
Shower and toilets need to be separate, wet room doesn’t work in such a small space
Pool booking system - booked a private slot and a family came in half way through our swim - someone needs to man the pool as people are coming and going once they know the code regardless if they have a slot booked or not

Local attractions

Build a day out around the kids by taking them to Playdale Farm Park (10 minutes’ drive), where they can feed alpacas, handle guinea pigs or have a go at ziplining. Then head to the North Yorkshire Water Park (15 minutes), for climbing, bouncing and sliding on the inflatable adventure course. With its chequered floor and elegant colonnade framing views of the sea, the Sun Court at the Scarborough Spa (20 minutes) is a great spot for a drink, maybe accompanied by music from a live orchestra. A stroll along South Bay Beach takes you to a pretty marina lined with restaurants and the Luna Park theme park. A chalk outcrop jutting into the North Sea, Flamborough Outer Headlands Nature Reserve (half an hour) is a popular spot for birdwatching. The coastline around here is pretty spectacular, with tall cliffs and rock formations like the Drinking Dinosaur, where seals come for a rest.
