Crows Nest Caravan Park

Liked Lots of amazing facilities like a bar, swimming pool, shop which is well stocked, playground for the kids and it’s in a great location. There were portaloos available for the overflow field.

Disliked The portaloos had no water for washing hands and were often out of toilet roll. The toilet blocks also ran out of paper a lot even though I know the site team did drive around in the mornings to refill. I wonder whether a spare needs leaving in each cubicle?

Liked Staff happy to accommodate a pitch request. The site is in an amazing location, so be prepared for it to be very busy. Everything you need is on the site, a great place to keep everyone entertained.

Disliked I didn’t realise it was such a large field with so many pitches. It’s great for those looking for a bustling holiday but we prefer quiet. Luckily they were very happy to let us pitch up away from all the fun. Also as so many people it was hard for the cleaning team to keep on top of the showers and toilets.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We’re glad the team were able to accommodate your pitch request and that you enjoyed the location and facilities. Bank Holiday is our busiest time of year, which does make the park feel lively, but we’re pleased you were able to find a quieter spot to enjoy your stay.

Liked Lots of room on the overflow. Great little shops and bar. Really enjoyed our stay.

Disliked Too many people let in the pool and once. Need more toilets/showers.

From the manager: Thank you Nicola for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed your first camping trip with us and made the most of the facilities. The pool can be very popular at peak times, and the overflow field is only used on our busiest weekends, which can make the facilities feel busier. We’re pleased you still had a great stay.

Liked The area was ideal as it was a short journey to Scarborough. Supermarket on site was reasonably priced and staff were friendly.

Disliked Stayed two nights for bank holiday weekend from the Saturday. Straight away you could see the overflow was overcrowded. There was 8-10 porta-loos which were absolutely disgusting. Often no toilet roll, left in a mess, the smell was over bearing, only seen them cleaned once a day. By evening they were that bad you couldn't use them.

Bar was rowdy and very busy, drinks were limited. Fish and chips shop ran out of food by 7 we were told to go back at 8.30.

The site was noisy late at night, especially Sunday night with loud music blasting. Shouting from other parties. The noise from the main road was also very loud (even though we weren't anywhere near the sides of the site)

Kids didn't get a chance to go to the pool as it was full .. Too many people in at once it was hectic.

From the manager: Thank you Toni for your review. Bank Holiday is our busiest weekend of the year and the overflow field is used to accommodate demand. The toilets are cleaned multiple times per day, though of course they can be left untidy in between by users. The pool was particularly busy on the Sunday morning and a one-in, one-out system was in place to ensure safety, but it remained open throughout. Our fish and chip shop cooks food fresh to order, which can mean waiting times, but it did not run out of food at any time. We’re pleased you found the shop reasonably priced and staff friendly.

Liked The location and facilities on site.

Disliked Unfortunately I chose to go over the August bank holiday weekend and the site was absolutely ‘rammed’ so, instead of the sweeping cliff top sea views I was expecting, we were directed to the very busy overflow field at the bottom of the site which was a good distance away from the main toilet blocks/ showers and other facilities. Temporary toilets placed in the field but many didn’t work properly.

Liked The stay was nice and good entertainment on a night
Clean facility’s

Disliked Bit of a treck to the shower block

Swimming pool was over crowded and was no limit on how many was going in and the amount of chlorine in the water was stinging your eyes

Liked We loved the pool and how well stocked the on site shop was! The bar was also fab for an evening drink with the biggest variety of crisps I think we have ever seen!

Disliked The porta-loos were as clean as they could be but didn’t have any opportunity to wash hands. The foot pumps didn’t generally work either. They were always stocked up with toilet roll which was great!

Liked On site entertainment to suit everyone's needs which is clearly timetabled. Huge site with lots of spaces to pitch up. ( We were non hook up). It has a small shop on site which caters for almost everything you've forgotten to pack. Situated between bays you can take a lovely coastal stroll to Cayton Bay, Filey or Scarborough but if you don't want to walk or drive there's a reliable bus service too . It has an excellent Fish and Chip shop..the best I've had in absolute ages.

Disliked Although there are plenty of porta loos they can get into abit of a state. However this is not down to lack of maintenance but guests inabilaties to toilet properly.

From the manager: Thank you Sarah for your lovely review. We’re delighted you enjoyed the entertainment, facilities and coastal walks, and that you rated our fish and chips so highly. The portaloos are cleaned regularly, though as you say it does depend on how they are left by other guests. We’re so pleased you had such an enjoyable stay and look forward to welcoming you back.

Liked We’ve loved this site returning for a second time the views are amazing and it’s location ideal for visiting both Scarborough and Filey.

Disliked Having come on a bank holiday weekend it was extremely busy and we felt it needed more toilet and shower facilities for the number of people. We were in the overflow tent field and the portaloos weren’t the best.

From the manager: Thank you Jane for your review and for returning to stay with us. We’re delighted you love the views and location. Bank Holiday weekends are our busiest time, which is why the overflow field is used, but we’re glad this hasn’t stopped you planning to return again.
