Riverside Caravan Park

Positiv Location near a small town with lovely pubs and a restaurant. Nice little site next to a river. Peaceful and quiet. Clean toilets.
Would return.

Negativ A bit cramped the first night as it was really busy and hard to find a pitch as one wasn’t allocated.
The shower block was cold so didn’t use the showers but the shower cubicles were modern and clean.
Could do with a small bridge over the Ford for walkers.

Positiv Very quiet site. No traffic noise. Spacious pitches. Nice surroundings, streams running along each side of the site. Although some reviews said about the toilet/shower facilities being very basic, we found them to always be clean.
Easy walking distance to the village.

Negativ Limited rubbish disposal
Waste water disposal
No hand drying facilities in toilets

Positiv Peaceful and quiet rural campsite. No fixed pitches but plenty of room. It's a grass area so try not to drive like Lewis Hamilton and you won't get stuck. There's 2 showers and 2 toilets, we stayed at Easter and the site was reasonably busy but never had a problem using the facilities. It's simple and basic but has electric, water and waste disposal. A great base to stay if your exploring the coastline

Negativ You have to cross a shallow ford as you enter the site, not a problem in the car but I'm not sure you could walk to the pub without waterproof footwear.
If it's important to you the washing up facility isn't great. There's no hot water.
To be fair, the site is a bit of a work in progress. You can see the owners are making improvements

Positiv The location was perfect, peaceful and quiet, very relaxing
15 mins from Scarborough Town centre
Beautiful sunrise and sunset

Negativ Being surrounded by caravans and vans, hardly any tents.
i never book a campsite that doesn't allow campfires so was very disappointed to read on the profile they weren't allowed when I thought id previously read they were when I booked it.

Positiv Wonderful location in the beautiful village of East Ayton, perfect for scenic walks. The camping field is very picturesque, bordered on two sides by the river and a line of trees, providing shelter. It's a short drive in to Scarborough, 40 minutes from Whitby. There's a nice pub, two very reputable fish and chip offerings, a garage with a mini market, cricket club, and picturesque church, all around 15 minutes walk away. We loved the miniature ponies and the mesmerising goats in the adjacent field. They love it if you bring them carrots and are very friendly. This is laid back, no frills camping and I have to say, after spending time at campsites where you always feel you're being watched and that have so many rules, this site is a breath of fresh air. The owner is clearly undertaking a string of improvements to the site. Toilets and showers are basic and are cleaned daily to a good standard. Electric is good, we had no problems whatsoever. You'll need a torch to cross the field at night. It's very quiet at night, and conducive to a good night's sleep. If you like back to basics camping this is for you. If you like it rowdy, go elsewhere as this is loved by and perfect for young families. We've been several times now and everyone has been respectful campers and friendly.
Lizzie is wonderful and works very hard. It's like going back in time. I'm missing it already.

Positiv Our second stay here, we loved our first visit so returned 2 years later for a second. The site is alot more inviting now with drive its and appearance. It's in the perfect spot for a peaceful getaway but close to several beaches, dalby forest and the moors. The owner is lovely. The animals are an added bonus I'm certain we will be back again!
