Crows Nest Caravan Park

Liked Facilities where good, people did respect the 11:00 quiet time.

Disliked Litter and tab ends all over the pitches. Plus dog muck as dogs roamed free. This is no fault of the site it's the people who stay there.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed the facilities and the quiet time. We do have regular checks around the site, but as you say, some issues unfortunately come down to guest behaviour. We’ll keep working hard to maintain the grounds and hope to see you again.

Liked We enjoyed our short stay over the weekend. There was plenty of space to choose from when pitching and all amenities clean, warm and working. The kids park was a huge hit and was really busy almost all day.
The swimming pool on site is a fantastic opportunity as is the popular Fish and Chip shop.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely feedback. We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay, found the facilities clean and welcoming, and that the children loved the play park and swimming pool. It’s great to hear you also enjoyed the fish and chip shop. We look forward to welcoming you back again.

Liked Good and clean toilets
Good entertainment and swimming pool, shop with decent prices

Disliked Some tent pitches far from toilet block

From the manager: Thank you for your comments. We’re glad you enjoyed the facilities, entertainment and shop. Some tent pitches are further from the toilet block, but guests choose where to go in the fields, and many appreciate the extra space and quieter setting they provide.

Liked Great supermarket on site, lovely fish and chip shop and our little one loved the pool.

Disliked Toilet and showers were tired, cold and very unclean. I chose not to use them finding alternatives elsewhere. Staff were regularly in there cleaning but site is very big and very busy. We didn’t find it child friendly either. We stayed in a tent on the overflow field which was incredibly noisy with bar noise and groups of very inconsiderate rude, drunk people. Too many tents for the space.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the shop, fish and chips and that your little one loved the pool. For this reason, it’s surprising to read that you found the site not child friendly, as many families, including your own, enjoy these facilities.

With regard to the overflow field, the photographs we use on the pitchup advert show it at full capacity. During your stay the field was less than 50% full, though it was indeed a busy August weekend. Entertainment in the bar finishes at 10pm, so noise is kept to a minimum from our own facilities at night. We do have staff monitoring the toilets, and while you found them not to your liking, our cleaning teams were working regularly throughout the day.

We feel a score of 1/10 is very harsh given your positive comments and the enjoyment your child had during your stay. Nonetheless, we appreciate you sharing your thoughts as we continually look for ways to improve.

Liked Great atmosphere for families at the campsite. The playground was pretty good but my kid just liked running around with all the other kids in the overflow field. The pool was lovely and warm and perfect for helping our 5yr old to become more confident in water. Facilities were always available. The shop was helpful and fish and chips were pretty good too.

Disliked It was very busy from Friday -Sunday in the overflow field and I think it wouldn’t be too hard to add a toilet block in that field.
It’s a windy spot due to its location. Nothing to be done about that but worth noting.

From the manager: Thank you for your kind comments. We’re so pleased you enjoyed the family atmosphere, facilities and especially the pool helping your little one gain confidence. The overflow field is only used on a handful of very busy weekends each year, so unfortunately it would not gain planning for a toilet block. We really appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again.

Liked The location, the views, the facilities.
All was great.

Disliked That others using the shower block and toilet facilities don’t care to keep them as clean as they could.

From the manager: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re pleased you enjoyed the location, views and facilities. Our team clean the shower and toilet blocks regularly, but unfortunately we can’t always control how other guests leave them. We’ll continue doing our best to keep everything well maintained and hope to welcome you again.

Liked The open, non-electric camping field was perfect. We were camping with two 5-man tents with plenty of space on a level pitch with beautiful views of the sea, the sunsets and across the bay to Scarborough.
4 kids aged 18m-10yrs who all loved the play area, the evening entertainment and especially the swimming pool.
A well stocked shop gave the kids chance to spend their holiday money, as well as selling the things we needed to restock our camping kitchen.
We never got the chance to experience the on-site fish and chip shop, but the smell walking past was wonderful.
Fantastic pot wash facilities in a covered area.

Disliked Unfortunately the toilet facilities, were not very clean. Through no fault, I'm sure, of the site staff. I saw teams working both morning and afternoon.
It's a shame that people feel the need to leave used toilet paper all over the floors in most cubicles, almost immediately after the cleaning teams had been in.
Taking small kids in was not a pleasant experience.

From the manager: Thank you for your detailed review. We’re delighted you enjoyed the space, sea views, facilities and entertainment, and that the children had such a great time. Our team do clean the toilet blocks multiple times each day, though unfortunately they are used again straight after, which we know is frustrating - for all of us. We appreciate your understanding and are pleased you still had an enjoyable stay overall.

Liked Spacious pitches. Designated dog park. Well stocked shop.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We’re pleased you enjoyed the spacious pitches, our dog park and the well-stocked shop. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Liked The views, the beautiful coastal path, the fair prices at the shop and bar, the facilities are plentiful, no queue for toilets or showers.

Disliked The toilets, showers and pool area are not kept clean, campers playing music at night and no staff presence, though it’s great choosing your own pitch it also means people are free to pitch up close.

Liked We really enjoyed our stay there and it was our first time on the site too.
The site is lovely and spacious and has some fantastic views which we walked across a few times.
The facilities were also very clean and no litter around as there was plenty of rubbish bins.
There was no need to leave the site as there was plenty to do.
The staff were also very friendly and welcoming.
