Riverside Caravan Park

Me gustó Everything,
The peace,
The quiet,
The tranquility,
The animals
The fact that your left to your own devices which is what we like

After our stay at arosa a cpl of miles down the road came to end we wanted to extend but no space but we came across this Gem of a place, if you like peace, quiet and nothing else bar the odd animal in adjacent fields then this is the place for you, after reading the reviews we were dubious but decided to chance it and boy are we glad, it's a very basic site with no clubhouse, no shop but exactly what you need, showers, toilets, chemical waste disposal, and EHU, which suits us to the ground (mature couple with dog), Camping as it should, at one with nature)

We booked via pitchup and upon confirmation were greeted with an email from a very nice lady it turns out Lizzie who runs the site telling us to pitch up where we feel appropriate and if any problems give her call (which there wasn't) and she'll pop up to see us once settled which she duly did, and yes there is no reception or anybody to greet you but that's what we like , maybe not to everyone's taste but that's how it is, everybody arrives at different times so IMO the poor lady can't be expected to be up and down at the beck and call of us horrible campers, 😁

Upon arrival I could see that a freshly gravelled driveway in was not what was expected judging by the reviews on here so obviously money has been spent since the previous reviewers, the toilets and showers were very clean 🫧 AND THERES MIRRORS, lots of them, the lady Lizzie was round twice a day to sort them and the rubbish and tend to her flock , after speaking with her there are plans to get the unsightly vans moved on which is a plus point,

With us given free reign as where to pitch we decided upon our back caravan window looking out over the animal field and what a sight it is waking up to two silly goats outside your window,

If you like just nothing but peace and quiet and camping how it should be then this is the site for you and the animals are simply a bonus ,(donkeys, pony's, goats and sheep are what we saw) the wife in her element topping up the water bowls and stroking them

The grass was trimmed nicely and it's a very flat site (once you get up and down the small ford, take it steady if with caravan)

There's a water tap and EHU all around the site so what more do you need, and enough space if you did bring kids for them to kick a ball , it's a steady walk to the local chippy or well stocked spar although if wanting fish and chips I'd go a cpl o mile down rd to seamer fisheries as they are divine 👌🏻and there's East Ayton cricket club 5 mins walk away if you did fancy a drink although I do believe they don't allow dogs,

Ideally based to explore the whole of the Yorkshire coast with Scarborough 10 mins away Filey about 15/20 añd Bridlington about half hour, even Whitby only about 30/40 mins, and if going inland Mathewson's in Thornton le dale 25 mins along with Pickering etc, basically everything is within say half hour,

Totally enjoyed our stay doing nothing but relaxing and being carefree not worrying about the daily grind and listening to birdsong and spotting herons and will definitely be back again

Won't let me upload photos but feel free to look on my tiktok channel danreilly007 for a video review or put riverside camping Scarborough into the tiktok search bar

No me gustó If I was being very picky the scrappy vans in the adjacent compound (albeit hidden)

Also being a tight Yorkshireman id have liked the price a little cheaper

Me gustó It was a cute little site, with donkeys, ponies and goats to see. Looks like it is being upgraded. Good location to the seaside

Me gustó A very quiet site which suited us great. Very handy for Scarborough and Filey. Good, clean toilet & shower facilities. Lizzie was friendly and helpful.

No me gustó A little bit dearer than some other similar sites.

Me gustó Nice little quiet site. Booked without reading the reviews and must say it seems all the bad things commented on have been addressed. Toilet block was very clean and looks to have newly fitted showers. Could smell wet paint. Plenty of room and good ground that takes a peg. There were some ground leveling going on but it didn't affect our stay.

Me gustó The peace and quiet

No me gustó All the scraped caravans the toilets were unfinished and as we were the only ones on site no security

Me gustó It was peaceful but not any security so felt a unnerving at night.

No me gustó No security. Noone to meet you.. Showers and toilets need upgrading

Me gustó Absolutely great place for peace and quiet and great for kids to just be able to enjoy themselves and play games without worrying over their safety, would definitely recommend to everyone

Me gustó Good location.

No me gustó Basically this site should be shut down! The toilets were blocked on day one and unusable. The staff didn't really care (although we only saw them once). No hot water to wash up. The showers were never cleaned and there were no fire points around. Basically it's just a field and that's it. No facilities. Booking last minute this was the only site with availability, and now I know why! Will never go again.

No me gustó The toilets was disgusting over flowing with poo never in our years as a session campers have we seen such bad facilities do not stop hear

Me gustó We had a lovely stay at the riverside campsite, especially because of its close location to Scarborough,
Filey and Pickering.

The campsite was well facilitated with toilets, showers, electric hookup and rubbish disposal.

There were about 5 free roaming sheep on the campsite which were fun to spot (although we found them scary at night lol).

Toilets and showers were relatively clean for a grass campsite (bits of mud and grass occasionally brought in by campers but couldn’t really be helped).

Owners of this campsite were very polite and helpful via text.

Thank you for our stay, we hope to visit again :)

No me gustó One problem we had was the toilets would get blocked up fairly regularly but we were not sure what was causing this.
