Our first visit to this site, however won’t be our last. A great location not far from Whitby or the North Yorkshire coastal strip. Received a warm welcome from the site staff when booking in, was informed of pitches available and aspect regarding sunlight etc. Used this visit as a shakedown to check everything working in the van before we ventured further south. No problems in the van or this site. Really impressed with the pitches all weed-free and the grass immaculate. Was lovely to see a Boules pitch on site along with a crazy golf course, next time we visit we shall ensure we bring our Boules. Would recommend this site to anyone that wants to explore the North Yorkshire coast. Must sees are Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Pickering and the steam railway and Scarborough. Minimal facilities site that has everything.
A Favourite
We have been to this site numerous times over the last 15 years and it is one of our favourites. It has a great location with lots of walking from the site and it is well placed to explore both coast and moors. The site is in excellent condition and is a great testimony to the hard work, commitment and care of the wardens. We stayed on the site in the current wardens' first year in charge and now appreciate the fruits of their labour and the impact they have had. Thank you!

Best site ever!
Quiet, peaceful, beautiful site. We loved every minute of it. You are within a few mins drive of Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay, Goathland etc yet feels like being in the middle of nowhere. I did not want to go home! Thanks a lot, we will definately be back when in the area.
Another Great Escape
Returned to this site again for the 11th time as it never lets us down. Wardens friendly and do a good job at keeping the surroundings in excellent condition. Peace and quiet as always due to site being far enough from Whitby but close enough to all the surrounding coastal towns. Marked down slightly as no toilet block (don't need as everything on board) and not a lot for kids to do (does have a crazy golf). Dog walks are excellent and the walk, with the following coffee and cake at Falling Foss is great.We will be back. P.S. Postgate Inn at Egton Bridge (about 10 miles away) has excellent food.
Our second trip this year
Love this site as it it so quiet but would be even better if it had a shower block but then the price would go up.
Well looked after site and lovely flower display.
Our only gripe was Caravans checking in early, especially at 10:30.
Great Place to Stay
We recently stayed at this great site and made it a place to return to. The location ambience was tranquil and the staff, were the most helpful and welcoming team you could ever ask for. Thanks everyone, see you again soon.
Another no facilities site to add to our list of must return to!
We can add not much more to the excellent comments regarding this site. The instuctions to finding this site are ok!
Coming from the Midlands (A169 via Pickering) When I return again i will take a slightly longer route in, accessing the B1416 off the A171 from the south side (Scarborough). Woodsmith own the quarry nearby and their signposts offer a good aid to finding this site.
Ist orange sign on A171. Second and third signs out side their premises on B1416. At the third sign brake and slow down to a stop at the upcoming junction. The entry to the caravan club site is immediately on your sharp left through red gates. Swing wide in ...easy. This route also skirts Whitby (great view ) takes you past Sainsbury's and Aldi for future reference. Yes! I know it takes longer but it's worth it.
Runswick bay. Will be your best beach for the dog. And for a meal out stainsacre's Windmill inn will offer a fantastic meal albit in a plain looking pub! Enjoy!
Lovely stay here
Stayed here for a few days & we would recommend this site - especially for dog owners as there are some lovely walks. Scenery is beautiful and staff are very friendly. Our pitch was lovely and big enough for our large awning. We were in a motorhome & had no problem parking in Whitby next to the railway station. We'll be back as we loved this site.
Lovely quiet clean site
Such a lovely site on the moors sorrounded within a woodland area very clean and tidy, warm welcome and friendly wardens, although no toilet block or wash facilities never the less still highly recommended for the peace and quiet.
Peace and quiet with the bonus of wildlife.
In 2015 we decided due in part to the lesser spotted warden and how the site had run down we wouldn’t return, we missed 2016 but saw reviews how it had been turned around we have now been back in 2017,18, 19, the wardens Joy and Kingsley have made a massive difference to this site it is now how it should be. We have just returned from our latest visit and sadly was informed that the wardens of 4yrs are moving to pastures new, I just hope that whoever takes on this fantastic site has the same enthusiasm as this couple and maintain the standards that we now got. The site is well located for Whitby or Scarborough it is quiet and peaceful most of the time apart from the Cuckoo calling from the early hours but if you like birds and wildlife you don’t have to leave your van to see it, we saw hares casually walking down the drive on many nights with deer frequent visitors near one of the dog walks. Just a short walk from the site easily accessed via the dog walk or by road is the Falling Foss and the Cafe in the Woods and I can recommend their sausage sandwiches and desserts, also just a short drive away is Beacon Farm ice cream parlourwhich is well worth a visit. So Joy & Kingsley Thank You for making this a beautiful site once more and leaving it in a much better state than you must have found it 4yrs ago, we wish you good luck with whatever you decide to do in the future.
