Cayton Village Club Campsite

We've spent two short breaks at Cayton Village this year, in April and August and have loved it both times. It's a very well laid out site, we were on the top field the first time and the lower one more recently - yes, some of the pitches in the upper area are a bit sloping but we had no problems. The main draw for us is Cayton Bay beach - a quick bike ride or 20 minute walk to a large expanse of fine sand, lots of space to spread out and lifeguards ensuring safe areas for swimming/surfing. And having just been to Cornwall too I can confirm the North Sea is no colder than off the south west coast! There's a surf school and 'Lucy's beach shack' selling teas, ice creams and buckets and spades etc and nothing else, which is exactly as we like it. We also cycled into Scarborough one day and Filey the next, both easy routes without needing to be on main roads. There's a large Morrisons about 2 miles away, again, not a busy road if you want to cycle. Our only niggle is that although the cleaning times in each of the loo blocks have been tweaked, there's still an hour or so with both closed - unlike in other sites we've stayed on this year. All in all though, a great find and we'll definitely be back before too long.
Try the Pub
We usually stop on the other side of Scarborough but decided to try the new site this time... Having tracked the reviews and stopped at the height of the school holidays we were very impressed.
The facilities were excellent and staff were smiling and friendly. The bottom site was full and we ended up next to the sports cage/arena but had absolutely no problems with noise etc
The Farrier pub in the village served excellent food and we had no trouble at lunchtime getting a table but booking is advisable as obviously v popular with locals too.
We used the bus to get to Scarborough and Filey which is very good during the day but if you want to get back after 9 ish you may want to book a taxi after any show etc you go too...The SJ Theatre is always worth a trip. Taxi fare was about £12 50.
We have already booked a return trip on a seviced pitch in October.
Great location
Spent a few days here with my 7 year old grandson on a serviced pitch on the lower site. Where we were situated (pitch 18) was quiet and spacious.
Being in the middle of the school holidays there were lots of families so some parts of the site did seem busier than where we were and at times the facilities were in need of a quick tidy up ( rubbish left in showers and on toilet floors).
It is a great site for children with a lovely well used play ground and ball park and with a frequent bus service immediately outside the site with buses taking you to Scarborough and Filey.
The walk to the beach at Cayton Bay is about 20 minutes - a beach with lots of space and rock pools which were a hit with my 7 year old.
One disappointment was that the Farrier was fully booked for the duration of our stay so probably best to book before your trip if going in peak season.
Love the location of this site so I will be back.

First time at this new site
Decided to visit Cayton Bay as although a little expensive, the VAT reduction made it more reasonable.
The site is a bit sterile, being new. We had a pitch in the top field, on the edge, close to the dog walk, which was quite pleasant with a nice grassy area to sit out on. Some of the pitches here are quite narrow and some are very difficult to access especially if you have a large unit.
Love the location. About 20-30 minutes walk to the bay and beach with a pleasant pub stop on the way back. The paths down to the beach are very steep though. Walk the other way into the village and in 10 minutes can pick up essential supplies including a lovely ice cream from the pub. There are buses either way from outside the site, every 15-20 minutes, to Scarborough or Filey, going on to Bridlington if you want to go that far. There is a large Tesco at the bus station in Filey. Again though the paths to the beach are very steep.
Would we go back? Probably not as the overall ambience of the site was not to our preference.
Holidaying with grand children
Having read some previous reviews we were a bit apprehensive before arrival. Some of these reviewers have not got the brains they were born with. The site was excellent and all the staff exceeded expectations. With 3 generations of our family at site there was something for all of us., with the kids not using their i pads all week. Good location and very easy walk into village and plenty to do within 15 miles. Would highly recommend.
Excellent experience for a first time site user.
This was our very first site with the new camper van.
The site is lovely and spacious. It’s clean , quiet and very well kept. The staff are helpful and friendly.
The toilets and showers are modern , clean and a good size, with plenty cubicles.
The site is a short walk to Cayton Bay.
Throughly recommend and would stay again.
Excellent site.
Staff on arrival brilliant. Pitch on the top field was excellent. Do not believe the poor reviews….what world do they live in?
We have stayed in sites across Europe and have to say this is in our top 20 list.
Do not be afraid!

Excellent warden named “Claire”
I spoke to a warden named Claire a few days prior to our 6 night stay, with concerns regarding COVID.
We were considering cancelling, but was reassured that the pitches available would be more than suitable. On arrival we were welcomed by Claire. This member of staff later checked up on us to make sure we were ok. We had a very enjoyable stay. All wardens we had contact with were friendly.
So pleased we did not cancel our holiday.
Thanks to Claire,

OK but a few issues.
Review of pitch 43. No mention at check in of the procedure for connecting EHU to site. After 4 hours when everything in the freezer had defrosted and cold drinks were warm i complained about no power. The helpful warden explained the instructions were on a label on the EHU post but on checking there was no label. The top switch needs flicking up. (Shows red when flicked up and green when tripped out ?) Why not tell everyone at check in ? The hard standing was actually loose ballast causing the jockey wheel to sink in when manouvering by hand. Pitches need a heavy roller running over them to alleviate the problem. Impossible to log in to club WiFi, a paid for service, as no network was available. Standing under the relay mast by the waste disposal had a 100% signal but walking back to the pitch the connection dropped out. Another helpful warden came and checked and acknowledged the problem but couldn't resolve the issue as the internet providers are a third party. This issue for the same pitch has previously been reviewed by another member. Other than these niggles the stay was enjoyable. As expected, the new facilities were spotless and plentiful. Other visitors were amicable and children seemed happy wizzing around on push bikes and scooters.
July or August never again.
We have recently completed our second visit and it was very very busy. We saw guests entering the toilet block with dogs, soap dispensers empty, loo paper all gone which was probably due to one cubicle being out of action. Too much emphasis on glamping and pods. I never comment on individual wardens or team members, in my opinion they are there to do a job and sometimes it is obvious they have very limited time to carry out their work.
It is a great location with an easy walk to the beach and a great farm shop cafe, bus stops at park entrance.
Unless you are a family avoid school holidays, avoid fully serviced pitches at the top of the site unless you are not concerned with early morning fork lift noise from a nearby factory. Never once saw any security.
