What customers say
Great spot, tidy site, helpful staff. Handy location between Whitby & Robin Hood's Bay, good bus links. Clean facilities, nice cafe & dog field. Some found pitches small, electricity pricey, or food service hours limited.

Amazing Campsite to explore North Yorkshire. Will be back
Power optional gravel caravan site
Liked Amazing campsite, great facilities, really nice location and relatively quiet. Bus stop and village pub less than 5 minutes walk.
Staff really friendly and welcoming.
Toilets and showers are absolutely fine not the poshest but clean and adequate, cleaned once per day.
Onsite has a bar and café, didn't try as beer choice was not so good but local pub was great.
For touring around the area a 3 day bus pass costs £20 and allows you to travel the coast and inland to the Moors unlimited travel amazing value with regular busses that run to after 11pm.
We did Saltburn, Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Scarborough, Goathland (Harry Potter & Heartbeat), Thornton-Le-Dale (Mathewson's) over 2 days all by bus. Great way to take in the landscapes on the top deck of the bus.
Reading the reviews electricity seems to be a negative theme but the shop sells the cards in £1 denominations so not really a problem i used less than £5 over a 3 night stay, and can buy from the onsite pub after shop is closed.
If like me you are in an old slow motorhome I would recommend going via Scarborough on the A614 if you are travelling from the South as the moors road A169 is very challenging with steep 20%+ gradients/declines that seem to go forever, but amazingly scenic if you are brave.
I will be back next year as we have so much to do still.
Disliked Only minor gripes
Build electric costs into the pitch price,
More toilets in the gents as there are only 3.
Possibly clean the toilets twice a day as they can get messy by 10am.
Pushbutton showers which are annoying and cant adjust temperature.
