We stayed for 9 nights on the bottom section of the site. Really enjoyed our stay, weather could have been better, but that is the UK. Wardens friendly and attentive, facilities very clean, toilet blocks don’t close for cleaning, a plus point. If the wardens read the reviews this site is a credit to you. In a modern CAMC site all pitch types are catered for at this site, mostly level and spacious. Great dog walk, even though we don’t have children the facilities looked great for them. Central waste bins and recycling, worked well for us. Good base for Yorkshire coast and moors. Great local fish and chips at East Ayton generous portions, a good Spar shop for essentials too. Overall we would recommend this site.
Regular visitors
Excellent site in a great location and we just keep coming back year after year. However, a change has recently happened, which is not in members interest. All the site waste bins have been removed from all the service points and members/guests now have to take waste to the site entrance to the only waste point on the whole site. This is a large site and many of the pitches are a long walk or drive from the waste point. This is no doubt to reduce the workload of the site team. It is definitely not in the interest of paying customers. What about disabled or less able people? This will mean that people will have waste hanging about outside their caravan or motorhome and potentially attract vermin. It will discourage or reduce recycling and may have unintended consequences as some people may dispose waste inappropriately. I don't agree with this policy and everyone on site that we met felt the same.

C&MC PRICING POLICY
This is an excellent site.
In my opinion the best C&MC site available
Two new facilities blocks
Refurbished driveways and hardstandings
Excellent outdoor play area for children
Excellent modern indoor games/TV room
Large dog walking area
Minutes from the Park&Ride into Scarborough
Very peaceful woodland setting
Immaculate kept grounds
Very friendly and approachable team who are a credit to the club
Why then on the warmest and sunniest weekend
of the year (which had been forecast for several days) was the site less than half full. The answer has got to be the pricing policy of the club. There is clearly a lot of competition in the area which you are losing out to.
Why not price midweek pitches at £20 for a unit x 2 adults.
Because of the pricing policy I am seriously considering not renewing my membership this year
Great site
An immaculate site with a great friendly team. Access is good and the toilet blocks are impeccable. There is loads to see nearby and bus stop is only a few minutes walk away. The village is small but has 2 good pubs, 2 fish and chip shops ( one is a restaurant ) and a top notch mini supermarket and petrol station.
The dog field is big, well kept and fully enclosed. Plenty of walking nearby.
Ideal for a relaxing holiday, exploring the countryside or visiting nearby Scarborough, Whitby, Bempton Cliffs, Pickering and the North York Moors.
Perfect site.....just a bit pricey
Free WiFi is very poor
It must take a lot of effort to make a wifi system so poor. It would take at least 5 attempts to join , if you eventually did. Then chances are it would say no Internet access. It is so consistently bad that it seems intentionally so I used to join for the year on the paid system. Was not the greatest. But don't stay on club sites enough now.
Incredible
We stayed at this wonderful site for our Easter Holiday. From the moment we arrived we were amazed with the site. The staff were friendly and helpful and the facilities were immaculate. The games room was a special bonus too, although our children were too young to appreciate it, it will be worth revisiting when they are older. The pitches were all clean and tidy and I have my eye on the new premium pitches with their own picnic bench and BBQ area for next time!
Outstanding Site
From the minute we arrived the site team were just outstanding. Reception staff extremely helpful and friendly. The site wardens were absolutely lovely, so friendly and kind, made so much effort and always had big smiles on their faces. Maybe because it’s such a pleasant place to work.
We had pitch 99 which was lovely, felt very private. I think the way they’ve set the pitches are just perfect. The whole site was immaculately clean too, no rubbish or dog poo around. I think because the grounds are so well kept it makes people want to keep it that way. The bin stores were immaculate too… very well maintained and looked after.
The park and games room were such a treat too. Hopefully next time we will get close to the park so the little one can just run across and play. Such a lovely field and also nice dog walking area. The premium pitches looked amazing with the picnic benches and the bbq stand, very clever touch, we will definitely book on one next time.
The shower / toilet blocks were also immaculate. So clean that after I showered I actually took the brush as cleaned up. Just so clean and well kept. I visited very early in the morning / lunch time and also later on in the evening and each time it was as clean as the last!
By far the best site we’ve visited yet. Extremely quiet and well laid out. Feels very rural yet super close to shops, pubs, Scarborough and Filey. Super impressed and already looking to book in 2 months time for another visit.
Steve, the warden, was outstanding
PLEASE DISREGARD THE PREVIOUS REVIEW - WE CLICKED 5 STARS ON EVERYTHING AND IT GLITCHED ON SUBMISSION.
First off, the site is lovely - the shower blocks have been beautifully refurbished since our last visit and it is much more convenient being able to still shower at one end whilst the other is being cleaned. We need to thank Steve Lorton who came to our assistance when my husband had a medical episode and subsequently went to Scarborough A&E. He was calm and took control of the situation, helping to organise a taxi as we were unable to drive to the hospital and the wait on the ambulance was over an hour. He looked after our caravan, car and keys whilst we were away and to him, we would like to say another thank you very much. Steve is an asset to the Caravan and Motorhome club.
