Great site

Our 2nd visit to Cayton Village having visited the site in 2019 and before the refurbishment. The site is in a fabulous location halfway between Filey and Scarborough and the nearby beach at Cayton Bay is only a 15 min walk away. The redesigned and refurbished site is fantastic and well set out. It is clear that a great deal of thought has gone into the planning and design of the site,so well done to all those involved. The pitches are large and spacious and there are a good number of them which have hedges around them offering more privacy. The two shower blocks are modern and clean with ample facilities. There is a nice picnic area on the lower part of the site with a number of picnic benches. There is a nice dog walking area which runs around the outside edge of the site. There is a good number of service points located around the site. The Star Inn which is located in the village of Cayton is only a 5 min walk away from the site,we visited a couple of times during our stay,the food is good and the pub has a good atmosphere. Our only contact with staff during our 3 night stay was on our arrival and we found them to be very pleasant and helpful. We love the area and usually visit a couple of times a year. We will definitely use this site again.

Unexpected gem, highly recommended

We stayed at the newly updated site in September & had a fabulous stay. The facilities are everything you would expect from a club site, well designed and spotless. The wardens were a team, never less than friendly and helpful. The club shop is small but well stocked. The location is excellent, on the edge of Cayton village and a longer, but reasonably easy walk to Cayton Bay. The village has facilities for visitors but there are plenty of other options nearby. Cayton Bay is a lovely, unspoilt bay with a wide expanse of clean, soft sand. The views from the cliff tops is beautiful. The proximity to nearby, busier resorts is a welcome bonus. You can walk into Scarborough or Filey if you want. However the bus services 12 & 13 go from Scarborough to Bridlington with lots of stops between including at the site gates. We found the service clean, frequent & on time, with friendly drivers - we used it often during our stay. We particularly enjoyed visits to Filey, a lovely, unspoilt seaside town with a range of independent shops, a micro brewery & some good eateries. We are reluctant to give the site the praise it deserves as we may not be able to book in future but certainly intend too!

Excellent site, well presented, fabulous facilities and friendly wardens

We arrived slightly early to the site and parked up and checked in. When we were able to get on site, we drove around to find our perfect spot. We were on the top field and found that this suited us perfectly - nice wide hard standing and grass area to sit out on, with trees and wild flowers surrounding. Connection was easy to the electric and not far to get water. We wandered to the wash block and wow... it was our first stay on a CAMS, having stayed at other types of sites before. Who knew washrooms could be so well planned, fresh and well presented! Each block has separate male and female washrooms with spacious showers with hooks and a bench in each cubical and temperature adjustable water. Likewise there were sufficient loos, private washrooms, sinks and two hair driers. We were also very impressed with the family washroom - bath, walk in shower, loo, sink, changing area and hair drier - perfect for families (separate disable washroom too). The wardens were friendly and helpful. We liked the little shop that was open 9am to 5.30pm each day. Although small it had essentials and some treats (bread, sweets, wine, lollies etc) all at standard prices. The site is well located for the beach (turn left as you leave the site) which is a 30 minute gentle stroll then a steepish drop from the road down a lane). But the beach is so worth it... long stretch of soft pale sand, WW2 pill boxes to search out and lots of surfers riding the waves. Just by the steps to the beach there is a snack shack (burgers, bacon butties and drinks) and a council toilet block (not so fresh but at least there if needed). There are also seats half way up the slope to rest and take in the view. If you fancy a trip further afield, you don’t need a car as there are bus stops at the site entrance with regular buses - site side to Scarborough and opposite side to Filey and Bridlington. Overall we were very impressed, the site is in a good location, felt secure (barriers for vehicles to enter), had excellent clean and fresh facilities, with friendly wardens and the benefits of a little shop. We enjoyed our visit and are looking forward to returning.

A True Gem

We travelled over from a short stay nearer to York, yes this is quite expensive compared to other CAMC sites but boy what a little gem in a great place, read some complaints about times facilities closed, and how the layout of top field was inconsistent with the norm, how the hardstanding pebbles were hard to walk on. We were greated by terrific wardens made aware of differences of upper and lower field's, choose to stay on upper field loved it . We extended our stay twice luckily. So much to do around to suit different people. We are coming back at Christmas. We can only assume bad reviews are from members who seek to find fault. Its only what you make it. Or Dont.

Excellent site

Stayed July and September. We have now stayed at this site twice this year. The first time on a grass pitch and the second in the top area. The first time we had to put up with the construction of the yurts which was continuous hammering and drilling for three days. The second visit was by far way better. An earlier review commented on the sound of church clock and barking from kennels. It is a fact of life that these things existed long before the site. The facilities are all new and the wardens keep them spotlessly clean but unfortunately a few inconsiderate people using the site fail to appreciate that they have these excellent facilities. Unfortunately, when we were there the second time, there was a shortage of wardens. At any time there should have been a minimum of six but there were only four to carry out all the duties. They were always polite, helpful and taking action when incidents of speeding or non rule compliance occurred. You can understand if they didn’t always have a smile being under that pressure. The Club needs to value and take care of their staff. One of the wardens, during our second stay, took the trouble to bring to our caravan fresh cooked fish and chips which was much appreciated. Thanks for a great stay.

What a transformation!

First visited Cayton Village site a couple of months after CAMC had taken over; it was a pleasant enough private/ affiliated site, but we were blown away by the transformation that's happened over the last year. The facilities are state of the art - everything from first impressions at reception/ shop barriers and entry are immaculate and the team were really pleasant with friendly advice and a cheery hello. It's a large site, but it still manages to feel intimate - the atmosphere was wonderful; very peaceful and we'd definitely recommend - indeed it'll be one we'll be returning to in the future.

Recent stay at Cayton Village

We spent a week at this new site late August to early September Site itself is new and clean ,well run and quiet despite its large size ,the beach is an easy walk to it but very very steep down to the actual beach . We feel however we must mention two definite downsides ,firstly the village church clock chimes the hour through out the night as well as during the day which for light sleepers can be an issue ,but the more relevant point is the boarding kennels on the opposite side of the road to the site ,the dogs bark more or less continuously most of the day and can easily be heard from most of the site,we are dog lovers on the whole ,but the noise can be very instrusive Having done most of the area and the two things mentioned it's unlikely we will go back

Back to Cayton

Excellent and well maintained site, we are fairly regular visitors here and love the surrounding area, with our old dog we can go for short walks get a beer, a coffee and fish and chips. Nice large site and spotless all the staff have been great on our visits.

Stay 21-29 August

Excellent site, busy, facilities brand new and clean. We were on the top site which was fine but the choice of round pebbles for hard standing was a mistake. A thin layer of angular chippings would be more appropriate. Niggles: our daughter arrived to take up an Experience Freedom booking booked by us using our membership number and reception refused to tell them our pitch number (data protection nonsense I guess - the club should apply some common sense). Many dog owners allow their dogs to urinate on grass adjacent to pitches - not very nice! Irresponsible speeding members don't seem to care particularly as many children were around. There must be some responsible members but there weren't many at Cayton! I feel that the Wardens could do more as they happily watch speeders pass them by and seemingly take no action.
