Jacobs Mount Caravan Park

8.7 3 reviews

Well-maintained quiet family park close to Scarborough town centre
Excellently set for days at Whitby, Pickering, Filey or Bridlington
Shop, launderette, two play areas and games room

How do you fancy a family hol in a family-run park near smashing Scarborough – but in a serene and sheltered setting surrounded by woodland and wide open North Yorkshire countryside? Giddy up to Jacobs Mount Caravan Park, on the edge of the Forge Valley Woods National Nature Reserve but only two miles from the town centre and beaches of North Yorkshire's seaside capital. It's within easy trotting distance of other county attractions like Whitby, Pickering, Filey or Bridlington if your tastes tend to towns… and the North York Moors, hiking and biking routes, Dalby Forest, steamy vintage railways and a whole heap more if you're more of a countryside connoisseur. Although it's a quiet family park, Jacobs Mount is well set up with facilities including two play areas and a games room. Barbecues are allowed and a shop is on site for essentials. Amenities are well covered here too, with heated shower blocks, disabled facilities, a launderette, a washing-up area and a parent and baby washroom.

Local attractions

Splendid seaside days are easily had at Scarborough, two miles from Jacobs Mount Caravan Park and home to the Scarborough Open Air Theatre, Scarborough SEA LIFE Sanctuary, the Rotunda Museum and the North Cliff and South Cliff golf clubs alongside its two beaches (shore fishing from here is rightly recommended too). Also rightly recommended in the area are days at Filey for birdwatching at Filey Brigg, Bridlington for the RSPB reserve Bempton Cliffs, and Whitby for abbey, fish and chips and Goths lurking gloomily among the churchyard tombstones. The 110-mile Cleveland Way starts at Filey for those who fancy a hike or an amble. As it's North Yorkshire, history is all around too: potter along to the historic highlights of the Cleveland Way like Whitby Abbey, Mount Grace Priory and Rievaulx Abbey, or have a city day out in York to see its magnif minster, the Jorvik Viking Museum and many tiny cobbled streets.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Woodland walk for dogs. Close proximity to showers etc

Disliked: Our pitch would have been perfect for the hot summer but the shade of the trees made our pitch cold in October as the lovely autumn sunshine couldn’t get through
