  • Peaceful, dog-friendly site two miles from the beach
  • A 10-minute drive to Hornsea and 15 minutes to Bridlington
  • Pub and shops a short walk away
Nothing like a bit of sea breeze to revitalise all your senses, eh? And there's plenty of that to be had around Samara Caravan Park, in the peaceful town of Skipsea. This East Yorkshire site is a short jaunt from several seaside towns: you can drive five minutes to the nearest beach (or follow the sound of lapping waves on foot) or get out to bigger towns like Hornsea (10 minutes' drive) and Bridlington (15 minutes). Meanwhile, the heritage grounds of Flamborough are 25 minutes away, where you can catch auks and gannets diving from chalky cliffs. A good antidote to hectic everyday life, this relaxed site is set up with facilities like toilets, showers and water points to top up your bottles or for your pots and pans, as well as a chemical disposal point. There are plenty of friendly faces on this family-run site, ready to point you in the direction of countryside jaunts, old ruins, and the best surf. Dogs are welcome at this site, so make sure you save a space for your furry friend. It’s a five-minute stroll to food shops, as well as a Yorkshire ice cream parlour (bubble gum ice cream, anyone?). Don't fancy cooking? Take advantage of the local pub garden two minutes away, where you can wet your palate with a warming cask ale or hot meal. Please note that fires and disposable barbecues are not permitted. Please note that pets must be kept on a lead as the site has free-range chickens.

Powered grass tent site

Liked Everything we wanted for the day/night.
Mary was great host and very welcoming. We will definitely be back. It was a nice friendly site, our dog was always greeted by his name which was great.

Disliked Toilets however I believe plans are been made for this issue. It still does the job though, wouldn’t let it put you off.

Nicola V.

Powered gravel and concrete caravan site

Liked Peaceful and plenty of space

Disliked Facilities not adequate. Only one ladies toilet. Desperate need of updating. Not able to use the washing up area facilities due to hot water tank leaking. Wasn't informed of this on arrival. Would not return. Most spaces taken by caravans parked for the year, so was very few people around.

JULIE M.

Powered grass tent site

Liked As it was my first time camping and not able to do a try out pitching the tent before hand, I just wanted a small site for a couple of days. Nice little site.
Mary the site warden was very helpful and kept the site well maintained.
It was very peaceful, just a little noise from the road through the night, it didn't bother me but if you are sensitive to noise then take some earplugs .
Good size pitch and level
Not too far from Hornsea, Bridlington or Hull if you wanted a trip out.
There is WiFi that is payable, I didn't need it so can't say how good it is.

Disliked The shower block is dated but they have plans to upgrade.
No hot water in the washing up area.
I would have liked and found useful a freezer for my ice blocks, especially as the weather was so hot.

Local attractions

Being just two miles from Fraisthorpe Beach (10 minutes’ drive), it wouldn’t be a holiday without time spent digging moats on the sandy beach, examining rock pools, or chasing the pup into the surf (it’s dog-friendly too) Further afield, more coves can be found at the chalk cliffs of Flamborough Headland Heritage Coast (30 minutes). The expanses of East Yorkshire countryside are right on your doorstep too. Pull on your wellies and prepare to hurdle the country stiles – and while you’re roaming, check out the earthwork left in the wake of the ruins of Skipsea Castle (two minutes), which used to be an old Norman motte-and-bailey fortress. You won’t be short of activities for the whole family in this area either. Perhaps prepare a picnic to enjoy on the grounds of the family-run working farm at Honeysuckle Farm (10 minutes). Then, pop by Mr Moo’s Ice Cream Parlour (two minutes) for some real mouth-watering Yorkshire dairy ice cream – orange marmalade, ticklee toffee, and blackberry slammer are just some of their out-of-the-box flavours. Less of a sweet tooth? Dig into a heartier meal in the beachfront pubs of Bridlington and Hornsea (each within a 15-minute drive) or venture into markets of Beverley (30 minutes).
