We Will Return

well situated for an easy drive to the beaches and on to Whitby. with a fantastic view of the Abby as you drive in to Town. The site is well kept and one of the quietest we have stayed at. we had some bad weather while on our visit but this actually added to the views around us as well as the low cloud giving the place a earie and supernatural feel, I loved it. fantastic base for walkers and cyclists alike. the only issue I could see with larger families is the lack of facilities could make that barrel filling and cassette emptying a continues job. but with so much to do away from the site it may not be that much of an issue. We will be returning

First Visit

Arriving at the site after a pleasant drive over the North Yorkshire Moors I was given a warm welcome by Karen who was the warden in reception. The site is well away from main roads in a wooded area with a lovely quite ambience. There are some gaps amongst the trees at the back of the site giving magnificent views out across the moors from the pitches there. We had originally booked seven nights but as availability changed we extended twice and stayed the max twenty one nights. A big thank you to Karen for amending our booking and changing another commitment to allow this. I was not able to do it myself as it was not accessible online. The site is in a great location for Whitby, Scarborough and many other popular coastal places. There are also plenty of other attractive places away from the coast such as Helmsley and Thornton le Dale. We enjoyed walking parts of the Cleveland Way and on a rather blustery day had a more sheltered walk exploring Mulgrave Woods. This was our first ever visit to a site with no toilet/shower facilities however, since covid restrictions we have become totally caravan reliant so no problems. We caravan a lot so this opens up many new club sites to visit. We shall definitely visit this site again and I recommend it to anyone looking for tranquillity, with barely a spare pitch it was still peaceful. Thanks to Kevin and Karen for maintaining this lovely site and helping out with our booking changes.

Exceptional Site

We’ve just returned home after a 2 week stay on this well located, peaceful and beautifully maintained site. From the very first day we were made to feel welcome by the wardens Kevin and Karen who were a cheerful presence and incredibly helpful. The shop on site is well stocked with essentials and the maps are particularly useful for exploring the surrounding area. There are lots of well signed walks from site to waterfalls and nature reserves. We were very lucky with the weather and spent quite a few lazy days around the van. Whitby is worth a few days - the Abbey is spectacular and in town Captain Cook museum provided an intriguing insight into his life and times. It was just lovely to be away and there is so much to do in this area that we will definitely be visiting again.

One of our favourites....very peaceful.

We have just had a 3 night stay here, as part of an 11 night tour around Yorkshire in our motorhome. It is the second time we have been here, and it will not be the last. The welcome from the friendly wardens is second to none, and the general ambience from the minute you drive onto the site is brilliant. If the office is closed when you arrive, they leave information on the door informing you what to do. There are no facilities here, but certainly for us that is not an issue, it just makes for a very reasonably priced stay. There are grass & hardstanding pitches to choose from, and all in nicely laid out settings. The motorhome service point is very well situated, and very easy to access. The two dog walks on site are fantastic, and can be accessed from a couple of different places around the site. The general walks from site are also brilliant, and the information hut has a notice showing walk suggestions. We didn't take the motorhome off site, but again, there is a very helpful notice on the information hut which suggests places to park a motorhome if you do go out. All in all, a credit to the wardens who maintain the site beautifully, and we will visit again soon.

Our First Stopover as new Motorhome Owners

Although this site is only 20 mins away from home it was like entering a different world inside the site. The pitches were great and we chose one looking out over Maybeck and sheltered by trees. Had and amazing stay and will definitely go back for more short breaks.

An enjoyable stay .

We stayed here during late May early June . We found ourselves in a predicament we were booked onto a Cl , however the Cl was very wet and unsuitable for our Motorhome. We spoke to the wardens at the NYM site and they managed to book us in over the spring bank holiday . We stayed a week and really enjoyed it . So thank you for a great service .

Seals and Hares

This is a lovely quiet site with lots of local walking opportunities. The planted sections give the site a very relaxed feel and is was good to see No Mow May in operation. There are a few tucked away sections that allow you to feel that you are on a much smaller site and we particularly appreciated the drive over motorhome service point. Really helpful. We saw a hare in the field just outside the site and we watched seals from the cliffs above Ravenscar, a fairly short drive away. A planned swim in the pool below falling foss didn't go ahead as it was little more than a puddle, despite the recent rain. The ice-cream from Beacon Farm is excellent and it is worth visiting the ice-cream parlour there for the vast range of flavours on offer. It is a pity that this site isn't open all year as despite the lack of facilities it would make a great base for winter walking. The wardens were welcoming and friendly. A new site on the 'must return' list.

Peace, quiet and views to die for

The photos of this site really don't do it justice. We have been blessed with 3 days of sunshine and I'm sure if we had come here in the rain my review might be slightly different. Having no facilities ie toilet block, isn't a problem so long as you have your own! It's a truly wonderful site, so peaceful and well laid out, spacious, light and private. There are both hardstanding and grass pitches but no fully serviced pitches. There are lots of trees, but if you like lots of sunshine there are plenty of pitches to accomodate this. Some, not all, pitches have wonderful views over the moors, and as the previous reviewer stated there are easy dog walks from the site. We visited Falling Foss Waterfalls and the Nature Reserve and Cafe there. Much recommended, even in times of Covid. Whitby is busy but very small and compact with interesting little shops and wonderful fish and chips. We cycled along the Cinder Track from Robin Hood's Bay to Whitby which was marvellous. Cycling is good, traffic is light, so long as you don't mind hills! Dogs are very welcome. Posted on the outside of the information shed, at the site, were details of where you could park your motorhome locally - what a brilliant idea, and I would personally like to commend the site wardens for going to the bother of doing this for all us MH users. Great site, fabulous region, we will be back

Peace, tranquillity and stunning scenery

A return visit as soon as lockdown ended on 12 April. This site is the essence of simple, peaceful caravanning. The lack of facilities may discourage some, but encourages self sufficiency and reduces movement around the site! We were blessed with glorious chilly spring weather - and that helped us to appreciate and enjoy the wonderful scenery and views in the area. The staff team went over and above to make us feel welcome, safe and Covid-secure. Much of what we have done on previous visits was still not yet open, but the walks, bike rides and views more than made up for this. The site is quiet and dog friendly - but leads essential locally, especially now at lambing time. Look forward to our next trip

Great to able to appreciate the North York Moors again

This was our first visit to this site which is in a fabulous location if you want glorious views, peace and quiet, away from everywhere. And if you have a dog, you are spoilt for choice for walks, both within the site and immediately outside. Between pitches 25 and 26 there is an off-lead dog walk which goes through woods around the northern perimeter of the site to pitch 88. Between pitches 11 and 12 there is a gate leading into a wood which is all fenced off so your dog can be off-lead and has a number of paths to follow around it. There are also paths leading across the moors immediately to the north and east of the site. Although the site has no toilet block, there are a number of service points around the site and the site is maintained to the usual club high standard. A great bonus for us was the warden ringing us up before our visit to tell us that we could select which pitch we wanted, which we did. I assume that this was a 'one-off' on the first day of reopening ( 12th April ) but why can we not have this all the time on club sites ( as many commercial sites do ) instead of the rush to arrive at 12 o'clock and then the circus of vans circling round the site trying to decide which pitch to go for. I have suggested pre-booking of pitches before to the club but it has taken no notice. Hopefully it will bring in pre-booking of pitches eventually.
