Withernsea Sands Holiday Park

The place

Pitches was not level

Friendly staff - we were greeted by security staff as we arrived after reception closed. Very friendly and helpful.

Kids loved the outdoor play areas

Pool was good for the kids (but cold!)
I liked the idea of reserving places for the swimming - this meant the pool wasn't overcrowded.

Liked the 'idea' of the entertainment - but we stayed away because the kids were hassling us for money for arcade games and for us to eat in the restaurant... this is a burden for families on a budget.
They did however, seem to have plenty of entertainment going on the lounge area - can't comment on the quality of activities as we didn't spend any time in there :-)

Firstly so I don't sound like a complete moaner - the price for the touring pitches was ok for a family on a budget (prices for October, I'm guessing they may hike prices up in summer)
But, in the interest of helping people to make a choice I'm giving honest feedback on the site facilities:

The ground for the touring pitches was AWFUL.. Really lumpy and bumpy!
Obviously they have removed static caravans from these fields, but surely a company of this size can afford to do some work on levelling the ground!
Walking even in daylight is hard work over this uneven ground... a real hazard at night!
We had rain for a couple of days, so the water pooled in the MANY low spots. We tried hard to find a spot that was level, but our awning got really waterlogged... stepping straight out of caravan into huge pool of water.

Vehicles had to be towed out with tractors.
I imagine it is nice in fine weather, but not when there are a couple of days of rain.

The swimming pool was cold, we couldn't wait to get out and get showered!

Meals not cheap - even veggie meals were over £10 each, plus drinks for a family of 4... it would've cost over £50 for a meal, so we didn't bother.
It's a shame meals weren't cheaper - we would probably have gone in for entertainment and bought drinks too, but it was just too expensive... far better value to get fresh fish and chips just down the road!

You have to pay for crazy golf. I can understand the charges for extra swimming pool activities - but crazy golf, couldn't that be free (at least for the kids with paying adults)??

I don't know if there was wifi - certainly we couldn't get a site wifi signal on the touring field we were on and there was no code for wifi in the welcome pack.

Friendly staff and clean

Uneven tent pitch and electric hook up right behind other tents rather than in the middle of both pitches

Close to beach

Ground was very hard

Friendly clean site with very good facilities it's just 5 mins from the beach and 20 mins walk to town , nice level pitches

Good entertainment for my granddaughter lots to do for children good food friendly helpfull staff everything you need is on the site we booked for another weekend

Cleanliness of toilets. Location to beach and town.

Lack of control on certain travellers and way they made site look an eye sore. The loud music at night. The take over of play area to be used as a washing line. No interception by management to people concerned. Plus the site was very uneven making it very difficult to find a level section and no chance of putting awning up. Didn't like the way bar and entertainment area was put together. Too small and certainly too loud. Lack of bar staff didn't help!

loved our stay every thing spot on from checking in and being shown to our pitch the food was good and the stroll into town was nice with the weather which was great a great stay thanks to all

the price of a small lemonade £2 rip of

Friendly staff, brilliant entertainment, clean facilities. Walking distance from beach and town.
