What customers say
Grand spot, close to Runswick Bay and the Cleveland Way. Facilities spick and span, staff gas and pitches roomy. Local pub's a winner. Mind the steep climb from the beach, and a few grumbles about showers and wind. Top site, well run.

Friendly chap on entry and reasonable facilities.
Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Friendly and receptive chap on the front desk. Good sized pitch prevented overcrowding. Convenient location near public houses and the beach.
Disliked Very open site which suffers badly on windy days; planting some protective hedge rows would eventually remedy this and enhance the site aesthetic. When dry, ground is very hard; be sure to bring a mallet and strong tent pegs.

Excellent Campsite For Seasoned & Non Seasoned Campers
Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Amazing location, just minutes from the beautiful Runswick Bay beach! Next to a pub and another seaside pub just 2 mins walk (which is the best) plus gorgeous cafe The Tides walkable too.
Super clean wash rooms, plenty of hot water and drinking water stations. And it’s very quiet in the evenings. Staff are really friendly and non-invasive. Easy online bookings - and they often will try to accommodate walk-ins.
There is actually 4G and 5G signal too.
We come with the kids and they always make friends - a very community, social site but the right balance of no children running feral. With the sites closeness to the beach, you can understand why it really doesn’t need any playgrounds.
Disliked Nothing, it’s a superb campsite (and we’re not seasoned campers either!) Perhaps if you have a motor camper you may miss the electric points.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked It's really nice camp site clean shower and toilets. We love it because it's near a dog friendly beach but the hill is very steep but it's worth it. 15 minutes from Whitby we defo coming back next year perfect location and there a lovely little chippy in village.
Disliked I thinks it bit expensive for a non eclectic site but I would pay it to be close to Whitby and a beach so you pahang for the location
