Great start for us

We picked up our first van on a Thursday and was booked in here from the Friday. Being complete caravaning noobies we didn't know what to expect, the site was easy enough to find, location is very rural. We checked in and I told the woman this was our first time and she couldn't have been more helpfull, overall the staff seem very friendly and helpfull. The site shop has the basics needed, the site was very clean and tidy, we will certainly book in again soon.

Comment from The Club

Thank you for leaving a review. I have been in touch with the Wardens at the site and they have explained that the site was without drinking water from 6pm on Tuesday evening until 10am on Thursday morning. To overcome the difficult situation the wardens purchased bottled water which was delivered personally to each outfit that evening and again the following morning. I also understand that the office was kept open all day on the Wednesday so that members had the opportunity to call by and collect more water should they need it. The Caravan Club apologises for any inconvenience caused but occasionally these unexpected events happen and we rely on our Wardens to handle the situation as best they can when this occurs. I trust this helps to answer some of your concerns.

Superb Location

My wife and I love this site. On a recent visit water levels fell very low but the wardens worked very hard to ensure all campers had water for essentials (tea and coffee) by delivering bottled water. A big thank you to them. The site has no facilities other than electric hook-up but is ideally situated for good walking and visiting Whitby, Scarborough, North York Moors Railway etc. If you visit this site the tea-rooms (garden) at Foss Falls, just a short walk away, is a must. The cakes are home made and all food is excellent. Another recommended walk is to take the train from Grosmont to Goathland and walk back along the old rail route. Conveniently situated about half way and a short de-tour from the track, is a pub well worth visiting at May Beck - Birch Hall Inn. The beer is good as are the locally produced pork pies.

The Moors the better

Set on the magnificent Yorkshire Moors this site offers everything one could want except the toilet block which we new weren't included well before we arrived. Water and waste points were plentiful and generally within easy reach. Vans and Motorhomes were set in small clusters among the many trees. This was a very idyllic and peaceful site even when we visited at the start of the school holidays. Attractions such as Whitby and Scarborough were within easy reach as was the exceptional North Yorkshire Railway running the Sir Nigel Gresley during our week there. Eating houses were plentiful and reasonably priced, particularly in the more outlying areas. Local routes present motorists with challenges not normally encountered, narrow lanes and very steep hills. Visitor should be wary of the many 1in 3 hills and stick to the Caravan Site recommended route when approaching or leaving. The wardens were really friendly and helpful particularly when the water ran out!

What a transformation!

When we last visited this site after a number of visits we vowed never to return! It was run down to the extreme, pitches were overgrown with weeds, the grassed areas were uncut and rutted where cars had driven over them and having watched the warden berate and abuse an elderly motorhome member we decided enough was enough. This week we found ourselves with a spare three nights and decided to once again try North Yorkshire Moors. Are we glad we did what a transformation. The site is a credit to the wardens/voluntary wardens who clearly have put a penomenomal amount of work, effort and time into the site. Gone are the weeds, gone are the ruts and their pleasant demeanour bodes well for the future. The transformation can not have been easy and it seems the club have two wardens (not forgetting the volunteers) who are prepared to go the extra mile. This is a site without a toilet/shower block, if you, are happy to use your own facilities give this site a visit. I am sure you will not be disappointed. I do hope management of the CC will pass on to the wardens our thanks for once more making this a site to be proud of.

Wonderful

This is a site for everyone. We had a great few days here. The site was very well kept and the wardens were fabulous - so helpful. Not having a shower block didn't worry us at all. If arriving from the south we would recommend the route from Scarborough ( we came in on the A64/A171, by default because of roadworks holdups) It does bypass the steeper inclines and tighter bends. Lots to see and do around here - a great base for getting around! Found The Stables and The Garden Centre near Whitby Park and Ride very good places to eat, but near the site there are some good pubs - the Wilsons Arms in Sneaton was great value for money.

Campervan visit July 2015

Immaculately maintained site in wonderfully isolated situation yet protected from the elements by surrounding trees. Lots of excellent walking direct from the site, either to the coast, through the woods or over the moors. Good MHWP and well spaced service points around the site. Wardens excellent and our sympathies go out to them in their constant battle to stop cars travelling too fast around the site! Excellent value - we would be very happy to return.

Perfect!

Beautiful setting and easy access. The first morning walking the dog I saw two deer and our dog was fascinated by the squirrels that were around early in the morning! The site has a boules pitch and crazy golf and was immaculate and a credit to the wardens. Fish and ship van calls every Friday evening in July and August. So much to see and do in Whitby and the surrounding area and such a relaxing atmosphere at the site, we can't wait to go again!! No problem with TV reception or mobile phone signal.

Lovely Site

Spent long weekend at this site and it was delightful. Well laid out pitches. No toilet or shower facilities on site, but that's not a problem. The whole site was clean, well kept and cared for. The location is excellent for touring the surrounding area, and very peaceful with excellent dog walking. Lovely site and will return.

Wonderful site

We have recently stayed here (June 2015), and what a lovely site it is, the wardens were great - nothing too much trouble, the standard of the facilities was excellent and the site area was well cared for. The site has an excellent position for the coast and also the moors and there are lots of walks from the site, we would not hesitate to recommend this site.
