  • Dog-friendly park five miles from Scarborough and 2.5 from Filey
  • Award-winning amenities block, family bathroom and launderette
  • Indoor heated pool, lounge bar, family bar, play area and supermarket
Feel free as a bird at award-winning Crows Nest Caravan Park between Scarborough and Filey – this well-maintained place is roomy, green and has sea views overlooking gorgeous Gristhorpe Bay and Scarborough Castle. Crows Nest is five miles from Scarborough and two and a half miles from Filey, but if you’re taking a break from the seaside/ exploring the North Yorkshire coast there’s loads to do on site too: a lounge bar with entertainment in peak season to suit all ages and tastes, a family bar with pool tables, a games room, a play area for little fledglings and a heated indoor pool with poolside assistants during high season. The award-winning amenities block a short walk from the tent field has free hot showers, wash basins, hairdryers and socket/shaver points, and there are also family bathrooms and a disabled-access shower room. Elsewhere on site there’s a washing-up area, launderette, chemical disposal point and well-stocked supermarket. And, as you can’t come to the coast and not have fish and chips, there’s also a chippy takeaway open in high season (but they do have more fish and chips in Scarborough too). Bringing the family friend? Crows Nest Caravan Park is dog-friendly and dogs are allowed in the conservatory area of the lounge bar; there's also a dog park on site.

What customers say

This clifftop campsite has gorgeous sea views & great walks. Guests loved the staff, clean loos & shop. The chippy & pool are a hit with families. A few found the facilities a bit old, with some noise or mess when busy.

 Mel C. 1 review

Upper area fully-serviced gravel touring pitch (super)

Liked It was ok staff a reception very good but closing all facilities before site has closed down is very strange

Disliked Keep facilities open until site closes would be better and attract people to stay there

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you, Mel. Seasonal facility closures are stated in our booking policies, you will have agreed to these when making the booking, but we cannot make guests actually read them. Keeping facilities open when too few guests are around to use them is not viable, which is why many seasonal businesses in Scarborough and around the area close during quieter months. You were one of 8 guests on the whole caravan park during your stay.

 Julie H. 1 review

Lower area fully-serviced gravel touring pitch (super)

Liked This is a well maintained site, large and generous pitches, we was just out of season so the pool and shop and entertainment were not available.

Disliked The shower block on the lower pitches are a bit run down and water pressure was not great.
It was ment to be a dog friendly site however dogs are only aloud in the concervatory section and out of season you were sat alone partitioned off from the rest of the pub.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you, Julie. We’re pleased you liked the well maintained park and generous pitches.

You were sitting alone because the park was very quiet during your visit, not because you had been deliberately isolated. Dogs are welcome in the conservatory, while the main bar provides space for guests who have allergies, are uncomfortable around dogs or prefer a dog free environment. This arrangement allows us to welcome guests with dogs while considering other visitors too.

We’ve also noted your comments about the showers.

Just a shame everything was closed

Local attractions

Leave the car behind: buses running between Scarborough and Bridlington pick up from the end of the Crows Nest Caravan Park drive and discount day tickets are available to keep more money for seaside rock. The kids will probably clamour first for Scarborough: there are the North Bay and South Bay beaches to bounce around as well as the traditional seaside fairground and donkey rides. But Scarborough’s also a hotspot for culture vultures, with the Scarborough Open Air Theatre, Scarborough Art Gallery and Rotunda Museum alongside regular festivals and events throughout the year. Fab Filey is even closer: this Edwardian town has a five-mile stretch of sand and is backed by the peninsula and cliffs of Filey Brigg – this is the place to birdwatch and wildlife spot, with rockpools along the beach and many species of birds and beasts to see all year round. The 110-mile Cleveland Way starts here for hiking your way around Yorkshire’s history and heritage: Scarborough Castle, Whitby Abbey and Dracula tales, Mount Grace Priory and Rievaulx Abbey are all along the route. Away from the seaside and vampires, puff between Whitby and Pickering on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, veer between villages in the North York Moors National Park or get citified around York and Hull, all within easy driving distance of Crows Nest.
