Fantastic time! Be back again!
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked Beautiful Caravan and camping park with unreal views. Toilets and showers were alway clean and tidy and the kids loved the park. Best fish and chips and breakfast bar!!
Disliked Not really any dislikes, other than how small the club and shops is, maybe could be more option. We also had no WiFi in the far field but wasn’t really a issue and spent more time
Talking.

From the manager: Thank you for your fantastic review.
We are really pleased to hear you had such a fantastic stay and enjoyed the unreal views across the coast.
It is lovely to know the toilets and showers were always clean and tidy, the children enjoyed the park, and that the fish and chips and breakfast bar were such highlights.
We appreciate your comments regarding the size of the club and shop. We are not looking to become a Haven style park, and larger facilities can take away from the atmosphere that makes Crows Nest what it is. The bar is also a lot quieter these days than it was in bygone years, so we do not feel extending it would be the right direction for the park.
WiFi is available around the main facilities, although coverage will not reach the far camping field, however there is 5G mobile network coverage across the area. We are glad this did not affect your stay and that it meant more time talking instead.
Thank you for recommending us, and we look forward to welcoming you back again.

Kids play area handy dog field…
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite (overflow)
Liked Kids play area handy dog field fish shop tractor guy friendly . Good music from the bands playing at the club house
Disliked Shame that you get families that think they can take up space with a lot of cars in their group. Language disgusting even with kids around . Noisy at crack of dawn and after time no respect for other people.
Swimming pool
someone vomiting the water became cloudy the life guards did nothing apart from laugh .From working on pool and being an health inspector you are suppose to call time on pool and clear everyone out to deal with the chemicals and pool .

From the manager: Thank you for your review, Michelle.
We are pleased to hear you found the children’s play area, dog field, fish shop and live music enjoyable, and that you found our grounds team friendly.
We are sorry to hear your stay was affected by the behaviour of other guests. People come from all walks of life and can have different standards in how they act and speak around their own children, but we do ask guests be considerate of others while staying on the park.
With regards to the swimming pool, we do not accept that the lifeguards simply laughed and did nothing. The pool is monitored closely, and the safety and cleanliness of the water is always taken seriously.
Thank you for your feedback.

Liked I liked the location, enjoyed walking to Filey and Scarborough.
Fish and chips were very nice.
Disliked I thought the lounge bar would be an escape from the kids,but it's not.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, Andrew.
We are pleased to hear you liked the location and enjoyed walking to Filey and Scarborough. It is also good to know you enjoyed the fish and chips.
Crows Nest is a family holiday park, so the lounge bar is not adults only. Families are welcome across the park facilities, including the bar, and we do not advertise it as an adults only space.
Thank you again for your feedback.

Good for family’s with children
Lower area FHU gravel travel trailer campsite (super)
Liked The views out to sea and the cliffe side walk to Filey. Good location if you have a car.
Disliked The amount of off lead dogs. The horrible maggot smell coming from the bins, wafted over the whole site. They tried to say it was farmers fields but it was definitely the bins. We left a day early
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review, Karen.
We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the sea views and the cliff side walk to Filey.
With regards to the smell you mention, Crows Nest is set in the countryside and surrounded by working farmland. When farmers muck spread their fields, there can unfortunately be an unpleasant smell across the area for a short period, but this is outside our control and is part of being in a rural location.
The bins around the park are changed daily, and every bin on site is emptied 3 times per week, or more often if needed during busy periods. We do not accept that the whole site was affected by a smell from our bins in the way described. It is frankly absolute nonsense.
Dogs must be kept on leads around the park, and we do ask guests to follow this rule. If guests see dogs off lead, we ask that they report it to the team at the time so it can be dealt with.
We are sorry the site was not for you, but a 4 out of 10 score for countryside smells and other guests not following dog lead rules does feel very harsh.
Definitely recommend!
