  • Well-maintained Yorkshire campsite with clifftop views
  • Withernsea five minutes' drive; 20 minutes to Spurn Point
  • Heated shower block; secure site with CCTV
Set in an impressively peaceful spot just a short distance from the Yorkshire coast, Hollym Airfield Caravan and Camping is a laidback site in a scenic clifftop location. With spacious grass pitches and lots of fine views, this family-friendly site – where well-behaved dogs are also welcome to come and join you on your travels – is about a mile and a half from the local town of Withernsea and 40 minutes' drive from Hull. The nearest beach is roughly 10 minutes away on foot, and if you keep heading along the shore (when the tide is out) you'll soon reach the town centre (25 minutes from base), where you can access its handy shops, supermarkets, promenade and leisure centre. Hollym Airfield Caravan and Camping is a family-run business with well-maintained amenities, including a washing-up area, a water refill point, a grey water disposal point, CCTV for extra security and a heated toilet and shower block with disabled facilities. After a day of long exploring, you could light up a barbecue by your pitch, explore the various eateries on offer in Withernsea or tuck into a traditional fish and chips there or in other coastal spots such as Hornsea (35 minutes) or Bridlington (an hour).

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Bathrooms & toilets are very clean. There is an outdoor pot washing area. There is a fridge freezer on site which is very handy for people without a fridge. Only a 2 minute drive to Withernsea. The owner walked around at least once a day so any issues you could just talk to them then.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Great site. Amazing views. There is an option to have a hook up, we chose not to do could go on the edge near the water. Could hear waves and birds at night. Fabulously clean facilities. Really supportive and kind members. You could walk to promenade via footpath on roadside or climb down to beach using a rope fisherman have apparently set up. Was great! Would definitely stay again. Wasn't sure re WiFi as I didn't try! But accidentally clicked on 5* and can't removed now! Sorry.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: A very welcoming site and felt the staff on site when we arrived where more than helpful. Plenty of space to pitch up and the toilets were clean and showers too. There is even a fridge to put your things in which is helpful. We will certainly be back as we love Withernsea! Thank you!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Warm welcome onto the site on arrival. Facilities were great. Clean showers and toilets. Drinking water. Washing up area. The facilities are also accessible for those that use wheelchairs. The sote is on the cliff edge so there are amazing views of the North Sea and the windmills. We managed to capture a picture of the Aurora Borealis on our first night! It is breezy, which can kick up the waves so be prepared for these natural noises if in a tent (earplugs do the trick!). Beach access on the northern side of the site where you can walk for miles. The town is just a 20 minute walk away. All dogs kept on leads which was a relief for us with our own nervous dog - didn’t need to be on constant dog watch. Helicopter was fun to watch.

Disliked: Nothing much to dislike - ground was quite hard and bent a few of our pegs, made it hard work to pull them back out, but it didn’t spoil our trip. The walk down to the beach is a bit tricky, I’m sure there is alternative access further down the road but we didn’t go looking for it as we managed. Drones flying around now and again were a little annoying but only because my dog hates them! I don’t think there was WiFi… but not certain.

Local attractions

History and heritage abound around here: you're about five minutes' drive from such spots as RAF Holmpton bunker or Withernsea's well-maintained lighthouse museum, where you can learn about the area's mariners and airfarers of yesteryear. There are several more museums to explore in Hull (40 minutes), including Wilberforce House, where you can find out more about abolitionist and MP William Wilberforce, Kingston upon Hull's most celebrated son. Birdwatchers should pack some sturdy footwear, some binoculars and a thermos flask and head to Spurn Point (20 minutes), a spectacular nature reserve that extends for well over a mile into the North Sea. Seabirds also flock to Flamborough Head (an hour), just north of Bridlington, which is well worth visiting if you don't mind the drive. Brought kids who'll need to be kept entertained? Take them for a spin around the animal enclosures at Bugtopia Hornsea Zoo (35 minutes), or alternatively pack plenty of spare change and dispatch them to the arcades in Withernsea and Hornsea.
