Crows Nest Caravan Park

A aimé We had a great time, we camped near the cliff top.
We had phone signal, toilets, showers, a shop and entertainment.
What more do you need?
The staff needed a bit of cheering up but apart from that...cracking.
We will return, gladly.

A aimé Large fenced off play area

Large toilet and shower block which is cleaned regularly.

On site fish and chip shop is very good!

Handy little shop on site to sell basics, and even bags of ice for cool box.

The ability to pitch your tent wherever you wish if staying non electric.

Entertainment in the bar for both adults and children, and when checking in get info for opening times for everything etc.

Location is great, and access to nature trails along the cliff. Can walk to Scarborough (6 miles) and Filey (3 miles)

Short drive to Filey, Scarborough and Bridlington/Whitby so lots to explore!

Tesco, Lidl etc short drive away to stock up on food/drink

N'a pas aimé Swimming pool is smaller than imagined which wasn’t an issue, but the chlorine strength was over powering and myself and the kids could only manage 10 minutes as eyes were burning! Either too much chemicals, or simply lack of ventilation as no windows open.

Due to being able to pitch where you want some people would lack common sense and try pitch a tent too close for comfort.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your detailed review, Elle. We’re so pleased you and your family enjoyed the location, facilities and atmosphere on park, and it’s lovely to hear you’d like to return. Our pool is monitored regularly and chlorine levels are kept within recommended guidelines, but it’s always best for swimmers to shower beforehand to help maintain the balance. We’ll also pass on your comment about ventilation to our team. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

A aimé We like the camp it was very good and your staff were excellent in reception.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your kind words, David. We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay and that our reception team made such a good impression. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

A aimé Lots of amazing facilities like a bar, swimming pool, shop which is well stocked, playground for the kids and it’s in a great location. There were portaloos available for the overflow field.

N'a pas aimé The portaloos had no water for washing hands and were often out of toilet roll. The toilet blocks also ran out of paper a lot even though I know the site team did drive around in the mornings to refill. I wonder whether a spare needs leaving in each cubicle?

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your kind comments, Lisa. We’re delighted you enjoyed the facilities, location and the welcome from our team. The overflow field is only used at the busiest times of year, with portaloos provided as an extra facility alongside the main toilet and shower blocks. Our staff check and restock toilet paper regularly, but your suggestion about leaving a spare in each cubicle is very helpful and we’ll look into it for next year. We look forward to welcoming you back again.

A aimé Staff happy to accommodate a pitch request. The site is in an amazing location, so be prepared for it to be very busy. Everything you need is on the site, a great place to keep everyone entertained.

N'a pas aimé I didn’t realise it was such a large field with so many pitches. It’s great for those looking for a bustling holiday but we prefer quiet. Luckily they were very happy to let us pitch up away from all the fun. Also as so many people it was hard for the cleaning team to keep on top of the showers and toilets.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your review. We’re glad the team were able to accommodate your pitch request and that you enjoyed the location and facilities. Bank Holiday is our busiest time of year, which does make the park feel lively, but we’re pleased you were able to find a quieter spot to enjoy your stay.

A aimé Lots of room on the overflow. Great little shops and bar. Really enjoyed our stay.

N'a pas aimé Too many people let in the pool and once. Need more toilets/showers.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you Nicola for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed your first camping trip with us and made the most of the facilities. The pool can be very popular at peak times, and the overflow field is only used on our busiest weekends, which can make the facilities feel busier. We’re pleased you still had a great stay.

A aimé The area was ideal as it was a short journey to Scarborough. Supermarket on site was reasonably priced and staff were friendly.

N'a pas aimé Stayed two nights for bank holiday weekend from the Saturday. Straight away you could see the overflow was overcrowded. There was 8-10 porta-loos which were absolutely disgusting. Often no toilet roll, left in a mess, the smell was over bearing, only seen them cleaned once a day. By evening they were that bad you couldn't use them.

Bar was rowdy and very busy, drinks were limited. Fish and chips shop ran out of food by 7 we were told to go back at 8.30.

The site was noisy late at night, especially Sunday night with loud music blasting. Shouting from other parties. The noise from the main road was also very loud (even though we weren't anywhere near the sides of the site)

Kids didn't get a chance to go to the pool as it was full .. Too many people in at once it was hectic.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you Toni for your review. Bank Holiday is our busiest weekend of the year and the overflow field is used to accommodate demand. The toilets are cleaned multiple times per day, though of course they can be left untidy in between by users. The pool was particularly busy on the Sunday morning and a one-in, one-out system was in place to ensure safety, but it remained open throughout. Our fish and chip shop cooks food fresh to order, which can mean waiting times, but it did not run out of food at any time. We’re pleased you found the shop reasonably priced and staff friendly.

A aimé Pitch site
Shower/toilet cubicles kept very clean
On site fish and chip shop, pub and pool
Friendly staff
Room to park

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your lovely review. We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay, the facilities and the welcome from our team. It’s great to hear everything was to your liking and we look forward to seeing you again.

A aimé The location and facilities on site.

N'a pas aimé Unfortunately I chose to go over the August bank holiday weekend and the site was absolutely ‘rammed’ so, instead of the sweeping cliff top sea views I was expecting, we were directed to the very busy overflow field at the bottom of the site which was a good distance away from the main toilet blocks/ showers and other facilities. Temporary toilets placed in the field but many didn’t work properly.

Recommanderait à des amis Séjournerait à nouveau

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your feedback. Your booking was for the overflow field, which is clearly shown on our website with photos of the pitches and without sea views. The overflow field is only used at peak times such as bank holidays, with temporary toilets provided alongside the main blocks. For future stays we’d recommend booking earlier if you’d like a pitch in the main field with sea views. We’re pleased you enjoyed the location and facilities overall and hope to welcome you again.

A aimé The stay was nice and good entertainment on a night
Clean facility’s

N'a pas aimé Bit of a treck to the shower block

Swimming pool was over crowded and was no limit on how many was going in and the amount of chlorine in the water was stinging your eyes

The overflow field is a short walk from the main shower block and is only used at the busiest times of year. Our pool is monitored regularly and chlorine levels are kept within recommended guidelines, but it’s always best for swimmers to shower before entering to help us keep the balance right. We hope to welcome you again in the future when it is not August Bank Holiday weekend.
