The Paddock Campsite

Gostou Didnt stay long enough to be able to comment and certainly would not return.

Não gostou What a shambles.
Booked 3 weeks in advance for a tent EHU and pup tent. Called at 5pm to inform would be slightly later than the 630pm. The call was answered with complete confusion to our booking, asking if we had a trailer tent.
On arrival and after 20 minutes and 6 unanswered calls we discovered the only pitch available would only take a tent with no EHU or pup tent. Spent 40 minutes with the owner insisting she could run a lead through other campers tents and cover the lead with bits of old carpet. The pitch was in the centre section of the field, EHU post on the perimeter, no way the cable would reach, a recipe for disaster and an obvious health and safety issue.
If we had decided to stay without electric on this pitch our guide ropes would have been overlapping those of the tent next door, I have never seen so many tents crammed in to such a small site. How fire pits are allowed is beyond me.
This left us at 8pm on a Friday night looking for another site. A bit of honesty on our first phone call at 5pm would of gone a long way.
On asking for a refund the owner astonishingly asked to take a photo of my debit card which I politely declined and requested a cash refund £98 for 2 nights. All in all, without a shadow of doubt, the worst site I have visited in 30 years of camping. Read the rest of the reviews and beware they are not kidding about the flies.

Do gerente: As you know full well you entered the campsite later than you had stated in your earlier messages it was more like 8:30pm.Which caused disturbances to other campers.
You were rude & abrasive & causing a scene i was more than happy to see you go.

Gostou Good location, near to the beach, local pub, nearby shop.

Não gostou There were a lot of flies - nothing the site could have done but it was unpleasant.
The shower and toilets were mixed sex and basic with the water often being cold.

Gostou Warm greeting. Good facilities. Excellent location.

Não gostou Tricky to do anything about but the flies were a nightmare. It was like the battle of helms deep in my tent (I was heroic Aragon and flies the urak-hai).
Also the 10am leave by time felt rushed. An extra HR would have been massively helpful.

Gostou Had a 2 night stay. Fairly convenient location for our needs.
Facilities were ok but toilet roll was in short supply in the mornings - thankfully we had taken our own emergency roll.

Não gostou Looking at other reviews we could have just been unlucky, but there was an obvious lack of quiet hours or enforcement of them. One night music was going until at least half one and was still noisy with loud talking until at least half 3.

Tents without ehu were quite closely pitched together.

Appreciate the site can’t do much about it but the amount of flies present was off putting - would recommend taking your own deterrents.

Do gerente: Thankyou Ellie for taking the time to Review The Paddock Campsite.I must say that in terms of noise you were indeed unlucky last weekend as usually my site is quiet & campers adhere to quiet time after 10:30/11pm.The individuals creating the noise on Friday were spoken to several times & were subsequently asked to leave next day due to their disturbances.In terms of the non electric pitches these were marked out with posts & a few were in the same group & like to be pitched close together which they can be as they are non electric & this wasnt a problem indeed many campers spoke to me & said what a great ' Vibe' the Site had. Location wise The Paddock Campsite YO11 3NT is ideal for walkers & a very handy 10 min drive to Filey & 15 to Scarb.The Plough Pub & The Bull at Gristhorpe have been favourites amongst campers & glampers this season & many comment of the big portions at The Plough & great food at The Bull so Im very surprised by your comment.Further Cayton Bay beach is walkerble (20mins) & has surf school & Salty Dog Cafe so too is The beautiful Cleveland Way & many swimming pools & towns are extremely accessible drive from site so the location is ideal for many activities.

Gostou Lovely site, very welcoming host who was contactable throughout our stay.
The site is a short walk from a beautiful Sandy beach which does not seem to get overcrowded.
There’s a lovely farm shop next door that does a great cooked breakfast & a pub 5 mins walk down the road which serves huge portions.
The site welcomes you to bring your own fire pit & has toilets, showers & area to wash your dishes.

Não gostou Would have been better to have a couple of separate toilets as all toilets had a shower inside so if all taken by people having showers then there’s a wait to use the toilet.
It’s only a small site so not a huge problem.

Gostou Location wise it was perfect to walk to Cayton Beach - it’s about a 20 minute walk and the beach is so quiet and beautiful
The site itself is very clean, the showers were good and the host was very kind.
We got a taxi into Scarborough and really enjoyed our evening there watching the dolphins.

Não gostou A little bit far out if you’re wanting to walk to nice pubs for dinner etc. The Plough is the closest pub but unfortunately this was a bit of a dive. The farm shop next door is nice but this closes at 5pm. Aside from these two, there’s nothing else to walk to locally in the evening.
The campsite is very small and right next to the owners house, we felt a bit exposed as there wasn’t anywhere we could pitch up out the way if that makes sense but it’s perfect for families with kids or young women who want something small and safe. The size of it didn’t bother us in the end as we spent most of the time out but we were surprised when we arrived. This isn’t a deal breaker though, more personal preference

Gostou Excellent location - footpath directly to the coastal path and beautiful beach.
Lovely small peaceful site mid week when we were there.

Gostou Small peaceful site within walking distance of Cayton bay. Really great location to access nearby Filey or Scarborough. The facilities were clean with hot showers and the owners are really friendly. There is the option to hire a firepit and the campsite is close to a farm shop with cafe. Would recommend if you are looking for a small quiet site

Não gostou The shower could have been hotter.
