What customers say
This well-maintained campsite boasts an excellent location, ideal for exploring Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay, with convenient bus links. Visitors consistently praise the friendly and helpful staff, the cleanliness of the facilities, and the spacious pitches. The on-site cafe/bar is a popular addition, as is the large dog walking field. Minor criticisms include the metered electricity system and some pitches being less level.
