I'm sorry you were left feeling disappointed by some other aspects of your stay and I will share your comments regarding the facilities with our Touring Manager and ask that they investigate this further, as well as implementing additional cleaning checks. ^AB

Liked: Location is really handy for Hartlepool. We had a nice view from a sloping pitch.The site is well spaced out with a range of statics and a touring field.

Disliked: Toilets were abysmal, arrived on Thursday and every toilet was full of faeces, no toilet paper and rubbish everywhere. Things didn't improve over the weekend and we only saw a cleaner once over 3 days. We spoke to staff but nothing was done, we stopped using the toilets . There was a constant smell of weed over the touring site as well. This is a decent site but the touring facilities need investment and maintenance. Probably won't return purely on the terrible toilet facilities

Liked: The view and the beach, as the whole reason why we booked the area they didn’t disappoint. It helped that we had some amazing weather to enjoy them fully, Finding the site was straightforward and easy to navigate. The staff we met were all friendly and mostly polite however it was very busy so some stress was showing with some people reaction's. There is a little chippy van near the shop which was nice a good value, the ’restaurant’ is not as good. There is 3 parks to choose from, including the one in the complex area, an arcade area, pool and entertainment although we chose not to use the entertainment this time.

Disliked: The pitching area has a large curb , some areas this is dropped but that leaves some curb edges sticking out and making some areas really difficult to get in, the pitch we were supposed be using had a lamppost in the middle blocking the caravan, one next door was free and we were able to swap. The toilets weren’t clean, in all fairness that is mostly on the campers however they need staff to clean them more frequently It was very loud until about 12.30am, partying in the vans with loud music and shouting. But again this isn’t necessarily the sites fault, we were given a list of rules on arrival that said quite from midnight and there was security around to help

From the manager: Hi Emma, thanks for taking the time to leave your review. We're pleased you enjoyed your recent stay, there's really nothing better than waking up to a lovely view alongside your cup of tea in the morning. I will share your comments regarding the facilities with our Touring Manager and ask that they investigate this further, as well as implementing additional cleaning checks. We're also sorry to hear you were kept awake by other guests on park, we do have a quiet policy on park that guests should be respectful of others and start to lower any noise after 10pm, so it's disappointing to hear that this wasn't your experience on this occasion. We hope to see you again soon. ^AB

Liked: The location is very nice and you can get to the beach quickly.

Disliked: Where should I start? The pitches are very close together. The sanitary facilities were cleaned maybe once in the two days. There were cigarettes and other rubbish everywhere on our pitch. The later the worse it got. The restaurant is completely overpriced and there wasn't a single table outside that was clean. There is also a lot of security. Unfortunately, this also seems necessary, as the clientele on this campsite don't know anything like decency! Best to drive on! We'll certainly never come here again!

Liked: Nothing to say.

Disliked: The touring pitch I was given was not suitable for my caravan. Although there was a dropped kerb my car and caravan bottomed out when trying to put caravan in place. I went to reception to see if they could change it but there was a queue of people and only one staff member so I left and went to another site.

Liked: Nothing absolutely shocking site was full of gypsies and their children running through other people's pitches shouting and screaming swearing toilets and showers were disgusting

Disliked: It was the worst site I have ever been on and I have been to lots of different parkdean locations but this is really bad I was going to ask for my money back but I knew I wouldn't get a refund as I paid without the cancellation fee

Liked: Great walk for the dog

Disliked: Discusting toilets, every toilet blocked to the brim with s**t which wasn't just 1 days worth, luckily we are self sufficient so never ventured back. The whole touring area was just a mess. This area needs money spending on it or get rid of Completely. A shame as the rest of the site was nice. We won't be back unfortunately.

Liked: Quiet family site, good amenities, pleasant location

Disliked: I was evicted from the site because the warden thought my folding caravan was a trailer tent, and therefore claimed the site insurance did not allow me to stay.
