This was our first visit to this particular site. First impressions were very positive and the staff were really helpful. The major disappointment was the lack of wheelchair access to the on-site shop. There is a step to get into the shop and this was really disappointing as all the rest of the site was fabulous for access. I did raise this and advised that the only way I would’ve been able to do any shopping would’ve been to have sat outside the doorway, asking whoever was serving to gather items required on my behalf!This would not of made for a happy lady if it were raining! I was told that it would be raised with the regional manager. However, this has recently been refurbished so why was this not dealt with at the time of building et cetera.
Our pitch was a good size but in order for me to have close access to the disabled facilities we were right next door to the children’s play park and I can tell you it got Got very noisy at times. However, we did book during the school holidays and to be fair children do play and make noise lol. Also we were offered the option to move to another pitch which we did decline.
The dog walk was disappointing- it was just a track which went round the perimeter and was right next to a new building site! I have no idea what they are building At the time of writing this.
On the whole it is a large site with an upper and lower section. There are glamping facilities and we were not too close to those. The facilities were spotless and there was a mobile fish and chip shop and a pizza van That visit once a week. It’s a quick car journey into Scarborough and there are public transport facilities right outside the site.
BRILLIANT site with FRIENDLY and HELPFUL team.
The team at Cayton are brilliant, friendly and helpful. The site is maintained really well and the facilities are spotless. The shop is stocked with everyday stuff at GREAT prices. The location is great for beaches and the local pubs ( 3 of them ) are minutes walk way. Fantastic site, could not fault.
A Great Weekend
A great site, ideally situated to get wherever you want by car or public transport, bus stops directly at site entrance the staff were friendly and helpful and the facilities are immaculate and kept that way. The pitches are spacious and level and the best bit is there are three pubs within a few minutes walking distance. We shall be back.

A site of two halves, we were on the wrong half.
What a shame that CAMC didn’t take the opportunity to widen the pitches on the top half of the site when the redevelopment happened. The bottom half of the site from the entrance is very nice, spacious and generally well kept. The top half, the original site I believe, is awful. The pitches are not wide enough for the usual setup so you have to park your car in front of the van, which makes for a lovely view and also the feeling of sitting in a lay-by if you’re sitting outside. Easter weekend so the site was full and because of the tight pitches the top half looks and feels like a car park. Just awful. Stay on the bottom half and the site is great. Fabulous location, new and clean facilities. Easy walk to the beach at Cayton Bay. The Farrier pub just out the back of the site is lovely. Shame the off lead dog walk has been closed off. As mentioned in other reviews, the housing estate being built next door is in the early stages and will cause noise and dust issues for a while to come, so be prepared to put up with it.

Well laid out site
Stayed on site from 18th to 21st April.
Very impressed with new well laid out site.
Very friendly welcome.
Pitches very spacious and not too close to neighbours.
Toilet blocks very clean and warm.
Good dog walk.
Nice and close to coast and good location for visiting The East Coast resorts.
Definitely one to come back to.
Expensive Car Park Next To Building Site
The site has had a major redevelopment from last year most of which now seems finished. Overall the facilties are all there and if the Wardens can get a grip of managing the site it will be very nice place in a few years when the grass grows and the trees are more that a six feet tall. I do wish the club would consider privacy hedges in these large sites, it makes all the difference.
There is a major house building project right next to the site very noisy all day and a fair amount of dust thrown up. This will go on for sometime I believe.
The wardens were unhelpful to the point of being rude and complained of staffing issues when asked why the toilet block had been closed, again.
An expensive site, we will avoid in future.
Bank Holiday Weekend
I have to agree with previous reviewers. The staff were exceptional. Facilities are outstanding. Great location. Bang in between Scarborough and Filey. Cayton bay also great for walking. Got to say tho, the new housing estate that will be built around the perimeter of two sides of the CC club site is going to be an issue for some time yet as they are still putting in the sewerage pipes in the ground. There will be significant noise pollution for a guesstimate of a couple of years. The club may want to consider reducing pitch fees for adjacent pitches. But I suspect the whole site will be affected in some way.
A great Easter weekend
Stayed here for 3 nights over the Bank holiday weekend.
Lovely site with warm welcomes from the all the wardens.
Bus stop right outside the site going to Scarborough, Filey and Bridlington.
Pizza van every Thursday evening and Fish n Chip van every Saturday evening.
Drive to the nearest beach only 5 mins away. Unspoilt and with golden sand, Cleveland Coastal walk. Could'nt have asked for more.
Only problem is that, to get to the beach it's quite a steep hill. Not good for prams or people with mobility problems.
Scarborough is only 10 mins drive away. Which we visited one late afternoon. Free parking after 6pm.
Grounds and facilities are well kept. I would come across a few dog poos in grass areas, due to owners not looking at what their dogs are doing. Wasn't sure if to complain to wardens, as it's not their responsibility to pick dog poo up.
Good playground for the little ones. The staff laid on a few events for the kids, over the Easter weekend.
We were lucky that it was the Bank hoilday weekend, as there is a new housing development just along side the club. So we weren't effected with noisy building works. Not sure when that will be completed.
Moblie phone signal was abit touch and go.
Loved it how there's Glamping on site. Great for family that not have a motorhome, who can join us next time.
All in all, had a great time on this club site and the kids loved it.
Absolutely beautiful
We have recently returned from a 5 night stay here. This place is absolutely amazing.
It has everything you want as a holiday maker, beach close by, bus stops right outside the entrance, immaculate facilities, and I’m extremely picky, a great site shop, and most of all some of the best staff I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
All staff are professional yet approachable, and it’s clear they too have high standards.
I’ve read the reviews about the building site, however prior to booking we looked at the website and all the info was there! As for the housing development at the back, we’ll I didn’t realise the club were responsible for that, oh wait, they are not!
As for the work men working from 7 I’m the morning till 7 at night, well I personally think that’s a credit to them and the club! I wish I could find workmen as dedicated! A job needed to be done, and it will benefit all those who decide to give this special site a go.
Well done team Cayton, I can’t wait to come back!
On holiday in 'No Man's Land' on a building site!
We stayed for 4 nights, booked onto a hardstanding pitch (HP) with no awning. As soon as you arrive the onging building work hits you as it's by the entrance. We were shown on the map where the pitches we could use were, some located right in front of said building work, so that was a no no. The other seven pitches were at the farthest part of the site on quite a slope.We were shocked that such a vast site of almost 200 HP pitches that only 14 were 'no awning' ones. The top 2 were taken by units that were obviously stored so we opted for one in the middle. This area was so unkempt, it was obvious the grass hadn't been cut in ages and was full of weeds, there were loads of broken branches and twigs and the debris from pruning of the trees all around us. We had to remove several branches from the gravel before we could park. Due to the location of the pitch marker it was obvious we would't get any sun as we were in our own shadow all day! If pitch marker had been on the opposite corner that problem would be solved. Despite our best efforts with our levellers we were on quite a slope, the gravel was quite pitted in places-this reinforced our opinion that these pitches had not had any maintenance done for quite a long time. The amount of broken branches and twigs lying around could be a danger for young children if there were to take a tumble on the grass, serious injury waiting to happen! We really felt like we were in No Man's Land, the poor relations as we surveyed the neat, pristine pitches around us with their mown grass-all very nice. Added to this we had the noise from another building site adjacent to us, a new housing estate; so you could assume that noise will be going on for next year at least. The constant rumble of diggers, JCBs beeping backwards and forwards all day was awful. There was no indication of this potential disturbance when we booked.
As you'd expect the facilities were good and very clean, the staff we encountred were all friendly. However we feel this site is just too big, it's bland and characterless. Not a flower in site, not even a daffodil!
There is an excellent bus service which stops right outside the site every 20 minutes to Scarborough with connections to Whitby & Bridlington...which we did most days to get away from the builders and our awful pitch.
It's going to take this site several years before it becomes even remotely attractive. If you are thinking of going here, our advice would be book a pitch with awning, even if you haven't got one, otherwise you be dumped in the back of beyond like we were. Will not be visiting this site again.
