Riverside Caravan Park

Tyckte om Please do not be put off by the bad reviews, we have just spent 3 days here over august bank holiday in a tent. 3 mums new to camping with a 2 year old and 12 weeker! We loved it! I was worried due to previous reviews however we all had a lovely time! Prior to arriving i addressed the negative reviews with the owner who responded promptly to my several emails and reassured us. The staff were there to greet us and very friendly. Yes it’s a no frills site but we couldn't really ask for more. There was hot water, electric hook up and the ground was dry with luscious grass!

Tyckte om We recently stayed at Riverside Campsite and had a fantastic time. The location is great, just 10 minutes from Scarborough and around 30 minutes to Bridlington, making it ideal for exploring the coast.

The site was easy to find, and we had no trouble pitching up. While there were a few animal droppings in the field, it's to be expected in a countryside setting and certainly didn’t affect our stay. In fact, the animals were one of the highlights, the horses, goats, and donkeys were friendly and often came up to the fence, which was lovely, especially for the kids.

The staff were friendly, and the shower and toilet blocks were kept clean throughout our stay. Another unexpected bonus was the scarecrow trail in the village, it was amazing to see the creativity and effort the locals put into their displays. It added a really fun touch to our visit.

We also loved that it was within walking distance to the local pub, which happened to be hosting a charity music festival while we were there – a great atmosphere and a lovely way to spend the evening.

All in all, a relaxing and enjoyable stay, we’d definitely come back!

Tyckte om 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

Tyckte inte om 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

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

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

Tyckte inte om A little bit dearer than some other similar sites.

Tyckte om 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.

Tyckte om Quiet & peaceful. Fairly new facility block but unfinished, no bench’s/chairs or hooks in spacious family shower rooms.

Tyckte inte om Mains water in field tap - long hose pipe connected, lying on ground next to horse water buckets in adjacent field, feel unhygienic. Alternative water point next to facility block
