What customers say
This coastal camp has awesome views and great facilities like a pool, playground & shop. Pitches are usually big and flat, and staff are always friendly. Most visitors rave about clean amenities, though some newer reviews mention dated showers and hit-or-miss cleaning when it's busy. Great spot for exploring nearby towns and coastal walks.

We loved the location nice…
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked We loved the location nice big space for tents
Disliked The fact that dogs had to kept on leads at all times. We did not read. The very very small print at the bottom that said we were not allowed a small generator or our bike up with us. The toilets were not very clean the shop was a health and safety risk. As we went there once. There was boxes all over the floor with packaging left just floating around. And some young people stacking the shelves This should be done when the store is closed as my partner hurt her foot as she had not spotted the box poking out from half under a shelf The campsite covers most needs for able bodied people to have a pretty decent holiday. But make sure you read All the rules first.

From the manager: Thank you for your review.
We are pleased to hear you loved the location and found there was plenty of space for tents.
With regards to dogs, they must be kept on leads around the park for the safety and comfort of all guests. This is a standard rule on most holiday parks and is clearly included in our park rules, which guests agree to when booking. It is a reasonable expectation that guests read the rules they have agreed to before arrival.
Generators are not permitted on the camping field, as they can cause noise and disturbance to other guests. We appreciate this may not have suited your set up, but this rule is in place for good reason and is also part of the booking conditions.
We are sorry to hear you felt the toilets were not clean during your stay. Our facilities are checked and cleaned regularly, but during busy periods they can unfortunately deteriorate quickly depending on how guests use them.
With regards to the shop, deliveries and restocking do need to take place during opening hours so that guests have access to the products they need throughout the day. We are sorry to hear your partner caught her foot on a box, and we will remind the team to keep walkways as clear as possible.
Thank you for your feedback.

From the manager: Thank you for your fantastic review, Sian.
We are really pleased to hear you loved your stay and couldn’t fault anything. It is lovely to know your children enjoyed the park, party and family facilities, and that the views and food all added to your visit.
We are delighted you have already booked to return for August bank holiday.
Thank you for recommending us, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Crows Nest soon.
Fantastic site!
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Was our first time camping and honestly we couldn’t have chose a better site!
Location was beautiful and had lovely views.
Excellent facilities that seemed to be cleaned multiple times a day.
We had 2 young children who loved the park. We were initially worried as it’s pretty close to the cliff but pitched ourself further way to lessen the worry. 5 minute drive to Cayton Bay beach which was lovely.
Shop on site was very reasonably priced (which we didn’t expect)
Will be coming back next year!

From the manager: Thank you for your fantastic review, Tommy.
We are really pleased to hear your first camping trip was such a success and that you couldn’t have chosen a better site.
It is lovely to know you enjoyed the beautiful location, views and clean facilities, and that the children loved the play park.
We are glad you found the shop reasonably priced too, and that Cayton Bay was an easy trip out during your stay.
Thank you for recommending us, and we look forward to welcoming you back next year.
Great site, facilities, location and views
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked We don't normally use large sites for the two of us, but our daughter found this one and thought it would be ideal for our camping trip of two nights with her and the grandchildren. It certainly was. Although it was fairly busy on Saturday we managed to find a flat pitch together. It was a change not to have a fixed size pitch and it worked well. I imagine it can get a bit crowded on busy weekends though. (Tip, arrive Sunday!) We loved the pool and although it was extra it was well worth the unlimited time in there. Our two loved the slides and it was really warm when we went in. They also made good use of the playground which had plenty of variety for younger & older children. Fish & chips were good, and the children's entertainment on Sunday night. Grandad made use of the bar for a decent pint and stopped for a game of pool with grandson :-).
We caught the bus into Scarborough, with the stop at the bottom of the site it was great to get as far as the North Beach & Peasholme Park in one journey.
Toilets were cleaned daily and were spotless at 7.30 when the ladies finished. They must have had an early start - thank you! It might be an idea to have a separate bin for nappies to save people filling the sanitary bins?
There was little a bit of rubbish about, but there were lots of Biffa bins about for people to use.
Would use the site again, with or without grandchildren.
Disliked Dogs, or rather people with dogs who seemed unable to use the exercise field provided! Nothing the site owners can do, just one of our bugbears!

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review, Janice.
We are really pleased to hear Crows Nest worked so well for your family trip and that you enjoyed the location, facilities and views. It is great to know you found a suitable pitch, even during a busy weekend, and that the pool, slides, play park, fish and chips, children’s entertainment and bar all added to your stay.
We are especially glad the bus stop at the bottom of the site made it easy to visit Scarborough without needing to drive.
Thank you for your kind comments about the cleaning team too. They do work hard from early in the morning to keep the facilities clean and well maintained.
We appreciate your comments regarding sanitary bins, litter and dog owners not always using the dog exercise field or cleaning up properly. There are plenty of bins around the park, but unfortunately a small number of guests do not always use them as they should.
Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back to Crows Nest again soon.
Loved every part of the site…

Liked Loved every part of the site
Disliked Cost of the fish and chips and burger van cost me 25 for 1 daily 2 kids for 2 burgers and a hotdog and chips
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review.
We are pleased to hear you loved every part of the site.
With regards to food prices, all prices are clearly advertised before purchase, so guests can choose whether or not they wish to buy from the fish and chip shop or burger van and the cost of meals purchased.
There are also lots of restaurants, cafés and takeaways locally, as well as our on site shop which is reasonably priced for guests who prefer a cheaper option.
We are glad you otherwise enjoyed your stay, and we hope to welcome you back to Crows Nest in the future.

was an exceptionally well tidy beach nice views campsite perfect
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch (overflow)
Liked Everything was close by easy access in and out, kids loved having the pool so close to our tent, the entertainment in the bar was great.
Disliked The walk down to the beach close to the site not very accessible, slight dangerous to traverse especially with kids,
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your fantastic review, Ryan.
We are really pleased to hear you had such a great stay and found everything close by and easy to access. It is lovely to know the children enjoyed having the pool nearby and that the bar entertainment added to your visit.
We are glad you enjoyed the views and found the campsite so well suited to your stay.
With regards to the beach, Crows Nest is situated on an eroding cliff top and we would not recommend guests, especially those with children, trying to access the beach directly at the bottom of the cliffs. The coastal location gives fantastic views, but safe beach access is best made via Cayton Bay nearby.
Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back again soon.
Club house/clean toilet area And bus stop…
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch (overflow)
Liked Club house/clean toilet area
And bus stop just outside to take you in to Skegness
Disliked Camping on the hill,you have to find a straight pitch
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review, Bev.
We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the clubhouse and found the toilet area clean during your stay.
It is great to know the bus stop just outside the park was useful too, making it easy to get out and about without needing to drive.
With regards to the overflow camping field, this area is not made up of designated pitches, so guests choose where to pitch within the available space. Some areas are naturally more sloped than others, but there are flatter spots available.
Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back to Crows Nest again soon.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, Andrew.
We are pleased to hear you had a great 2 day break and enjoyed the cleanliness, chip shop, location and overall atmosphere of the site.
With regards to the overflow field, pitches are not designated in that area, so guests choose where to pitch within the available space. Some areas of the field are naturally more sloped than others, so we appreciate this may not have suited you on this occasion.
Thank you for recommending us, and we are glad to hear you are planning to return soon.
