Riverside Caravan Park

Positiv: It was peaceful but not any security so felt a unnerving at night.

Negativ: No security. Noone to meet you.. Showers and toilets need upgrading

Positiv: Good location.

Negativ: Basically this site should be shut down! The toilets were blocked on day one and unusable. The staff didn't really care (although we only saw them once). No hot water to wash up. The showers were never cleaned and there were no fire points around. Basically it's just a field and that's it. No facilities. Booking last minute this was the only site with availability, and now I know why! Will never go again.

Positiv: We had a lovely stay at the riverside campsite, especially because of its close location to Scarborough, Filey and Pickering. The campsite was well facilitated with toilets, showers, electric hookup and rubbish disposal. There were about 5 free roaming sheep on the campsite which were fun to spot (although we found them scary at night lol). Toilets and showers were relatively clean for a grass campsite (bits of mud and grass occasionally brought in by campers but couldn’t really be helped). Owners of this campsite were very polite and helpful via text. Thank you for our stay, we hope to visit again :)

Negativ: One problem we had was the toilets would get blocked up fairly regularly but we were not sure what was causing this.

Positiv: Remote setting, the village was lovely with a warm welcome in the local pub.

Negativ: The slogan on the sign when you approach the campsite reads ‘Riverside, a world away from the everyday’ however, having stayed here for a few nights I think the advertising and images used are very far from reality! We arrived and, immediately were struck at how overgrown and unkempt the pitches were. It really was just an overgrown grass field with a few electric hookups poking out of the overgrown wildflowers and nettles. We had no instructions or details confirming our pitch number and, nobody was available on site when we arrived. However, a quick phone call using the number on pitch up and we were advised to ‘pitch anywhere we like’. After finding a spot, we headed to the facilities- but we couldn’t get in. They were locked due to toilets blocking/ overflowing. A few campers on site said they had reported this (again) and was waiting for a plumber to unblock them! We thought this was unfortunate luck.. until we discovered they were blocked every single day! And, when you can get in, don’t expect them to be clean, and make sure to take your own toilet roll! This is a luxury that you cannot expect at the Riverside. The toilets and showers are knocked together in an old barn. And with 3 toilets (one of them was locked with a sign saying ‘out of order) and 2 showers let’s just hope the site doesn’t get too busy. The ‘washing up facilities’ is an old stainless steel sink attached to the outside of the barn with no hot water and a broken waste pipe! Not really fit for purpose and, if you do rinse your pots under the cold taps provided you can expect to get wet feet! We are frequent campers and know not to expect the Ritz when enjoying the great outdoors. However, I do expect to get what’s advertised and to find that it’s all in good working order/ well maintained and fit for purpose. I’m not sure this site was any of those? The price we paid to stay at this site for two nights, when considering all of the above was quite simply daylight robbery. Stay clear from here and stay elsewhere. We spoke to many disgruntled campers who sadly all felt the same, many in fact simply had enough and went home early. It’s unfortunate really, because it’s a beautiful, rural location with so much potential.. it’s the complete lack of care and maintinence that has led to this review.

Positiv: NOTHING about the site other than its location which a 5 minute walk to the village where there is a well stocked Spar, a pub and a coffee shop and Chippy.

Negativ: It’s horrific! The banner on the wall as you drive in says “A WORLD AWAY FROM YOUR EVERYDAY” and it couldn’t have been more accurate as it’s a dump. For someone who’s used campsites for over 20 years this is the worst I’ve seen. The field is simply a grazing field for sheep which wander about while you are there the grass is long aswell with sheep and dog faeces all over the shop. There’s abandoned caravans scattered around the field with a number being smashed up and very unsightly. The ‘facilities’ are where the world away from your every day gets started. Credit to the owners, they’ve made an effort, an awful one albeit, but an effort. They’ve cut a chicken house in half, chucked a load of walling in and put in some toilets and showers. There’s three single toilet rooms with sinks, only two were available on the bank holiday weekend in August though and these had hot water and toilet roll but were both blocked on Saturday morning and ran out of toilet roll very early. The owner once contacted did arrange someone to attend and sort this issue out though so further credit in the bank there. Also in the shed it has three showers, one with a toilet in it (of which the room doesn’t have a lock on the door). The showers were free though but the drains were blocked on numerous occasions. There’s no chairs or benches in the showers and only two very small hooks to use and there were not cleaned all weekend with no mops or squeegees available. There’s no mirrors anywhere either which isn’t helpful or electric points for hair dryers for example. The washing up area is outside and has no hot water. The place doesn’t appear to be manned so there’s no welcome or issuing of pitches. It’s a shambles really so don’t bother booking it.
