The Paddock Campsite

Polubione Friendly welcoming owner. Easy walking distance to a beautiful beach. Good communication prior to arrival

Niepolubione A lot of flies in the bathrooms. Could be made better with some simple deterrents. Very noisy road nearby traffic 24 hours a day

Polubione Great location and friendly site. Nice location close to the beach, with good facilities. It’s a friendly, family-run site. A lovely place to stay, although the number of flies during our visit was a real downside.

Niepolubione Flies, lots of them. I realise this is largely out of the owner’s control, which is a shame because otherwise the site is great. Unfortunately, there were just so many flies that it became difficult to enjoy our stay. I’ve never experienced anything quite like it — the sheer number of them was unreal. Such a shame, as the site itself is otherwise excellent.

Polubione Nothing

Niepolubione Site is wedged between 4 chicken sheds with constant smell. There are flies everywhere. There is also constant road noise. The site is small with no marked pitches and everyone is on top of each other. We just stayed away and came back to sleep on-site. Appalling.

Polubione Beautiful area, clean facilities, lovely owner and overall a beautiful stay. We had one of their chickens with us for nearly our whole stay, very wholesome. It can be a bit bad for flies but nothing but a can of fly spray can’t solve, overall a beautiful stay! And will be coming back again next year!

Polubione Good campsite, good value, owner accessible and attentive. Really easy walk to the beach and filey and Scarborough close. Enjoyed our stay

Polubione Lovely little campsite, basic but providing everything we needed. We were allowed to chose our pitch, which was much appreciated as our trailer tent requires a level pitch. The host was very accommodating and friendly.
We will be back.

Niepolubione Being surrounded by fields, we did experience some rural smell due to fertiliser spraying, which attracted lots of flies, but this is obviously not in the power of the campsite owner and is not a permanent issue.

Polubione Small friendly camping site. Good location for walking to Cayton bay. Filey and Scarborough really close by. Had a really pleasant stay.

Niepolubione A bit rough around the edges. Nothing was broken but maintenance could be improved

Polubione What can I say about our 2 night group stay at the paddock campsite, well the owner has a nice dog and the location is close to the beach is what I would say are the only positive aspects of this place….

On arrival we got hit by the stench of sewage and the phone line was down so we couldn’t contact the lady in charge. Took us a while to get through and had to email to contact her ( to be fair she did apologise for this).

The ground was very uneven and was hard to set up in some places so I’d pick where you choose to set up wisely to make sure your not sleeping in a ditch!

I’m addition it says online fire pits provided so we didn’t pack our portable one, but on arrival we then got told its £35 for 2 nights for the tin can fire pit. Lovely surprise…. Not.

Our group also had a fun guessing game of whether there was a local airport near by due to the extreme amount of noise in the campsite. Turns out you are right by a busy main road with absolute speeders going by day and night. I prefer personally a calm relaxing time camping in a serene area but I can see now by camping here 2 nights in someone’s back garden by a main road how I obviously take this for granted.

The MAIN big big reason I would say not to go here (as you have probably seen from other reviews) are the FLIES. I don’t mean a pesky one or two knocking about, I mean thousands of flies! It’s a massive infestation they have going on and it’s just down right disgusting. Every other person that we saw or spoke to, on our 2 night stay was complaining about them. We saw the people in pods complaining and having to ask for raid fly spray for their “luxury pods”, the campers all of us were being over run by them even with everything we bought contained and locked up, our tent was still full of them! I saw some people leave early, it was that bad and even we thought of doing the same. The toilets had a hundred flies in them, dead flies on the floor from the mass killings with Raid I saw the cleaner use in the morning and just general uncleanliness really.

Don’t get me wrong it’s a cheap place and if you don’t might a couple hundred thousand friendly flies knocking about then this is the place for you. If you are normal however I would highly reconsider booking this place as camping in someone’s unclean, fly infested back garden was not worth the money….
