Nice site and a great holiday

We have just returned from a great week at this site. The pitches are spacious and well laid out throughout the site giving everyone plenty of space. The toilet blocks are a bit dated and could be doing with a revamp but they were always kept extremely clean and tidy. The village of West Ayton is a 10 minute walk away where there is a traditional pub selling good beer at a reasonable price also there is a good chip shop in the village. The site is ideally located for visiting Scarborough and the surrounding area we spent a day in Whitby and also visited Goathland. We also visited the classic car garage at Thornton Le Dale and attended one of their classic car auctions which is a must for any classic car fans. Overall we had a great holiday at a very nice site and we hope to return some time soon.

West Ayton

Very friendly welcome. Lots of hardstandings and easy access to pitches ideal for out-of-season. Best of all - look out for TREE sparrows on the feeders and around the upper toilet block.

Excellent site for everyone

Stayed here for 5 days over the Easter holidays and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The new arrivals lanes are a little confusing as there are two side by side next to reception and we were unsure to go parallel to the van in front or behind it, a sign might be helpful here? Anyway got a very warm welcome from the warden and then we were free to choose a pitch. This took longer than normal as all the pitches are excellent, the grass pitches were still closed but the hardstanding pitches are all quite wide and the site has serval distinct pitching areas to choose from with a one way system linking them all. It takes only a few minutes to walk around the site due to helpful paths and steps but considerably longer to drive around. The site has two shower/toilets blocks which as always were clean throughout the day. There is a huge field for the children with play equipment and a games room/pavilion with pool tables and an outdoor table tennis table. The dog walk looked very good but it was muddy. There is also a second play area for younger/smaller children. Offsite there is the villages of West/East Ayton within a ten minute walk, and Scarborough within a short drive, there are buses from the village and a park and ride nearer to the town. Of course there are the other 'resorts’ and inland for the moors. There is a well-stocked information room with details. Beware of the directions to site, the dual carriageway is really really short and you may miss it, look for the Forge pub. A spacious well maintained site and we’ll be back. Thank you wardens.

East Coast revisit!

Excellent site, excellent pitches, excellent wardens and excellent location. The facilities are well looked after but in need of updating. There was a boiler problem whilst we were there, but it did not impact on our stay. The sites location allowed visits to Scarborough, Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay. Excellent!

First time visit

This was a first time visit to this site and the area. The site is well laid out, staff were very welcoming and friendly. Plenty of things to do for children with 2 play areas and a games room. Dog walking both on site and on the several other walks were excellent. It helped having the dog shower to hand for washing muddy paws!! Well located for local attractions which were at times stunning. Well worth a visit, we shall definitely be returning.

Great Site, pity about some of the members :-(

We stayed at this site for four nights from Thursday 31st March. Came here for the first time in the summer last year and really enjoyed our time and that was what made us choose to make it our first caravan trip of this year. The site is very well maintained and we found the wardens to be friendly and very helpful especially when siting the caravan. The very wet weather meant that the grass pitches were, sensibly, out of bounds and we found the hard standing pitches to be roomy and generally level enough to not worry too much about levelling the van. The children’s play area is a boon for families and we dog owners are well catered for too with plenty of walking space and bins. The only thing that put a damper on things was nothing to do with the site, it was down to club members who sadly left the toilet facilities in a dreadful state on more than one occasion. Despite there being utilities for cleaning up after ourselves it seems some members are unable or unwilling to contribute a little to help keep the well-appointed facilities in a reasonable state for everyone to use. It also shows a lack of respect for the hard-working wardens who have to clean up

A very peaceful, clean and well organised site ... But don't arrive early!!

Visited here in April 2016. We chose it because it is handy for the east coast resorts. Stayed for five nights. The site is quite large and well laid out. We arrived at 11:15 and were told we could not get in before 12 as it was really busy.It wasn't, it was a Wednesday. Told we could go in at 11:40 which we did. The site was showing as fully booked for the coming weekend but there was plenty of hard standing pitches available. This is a nice site with great facilities which are a little dated but still very good and kept spotlessly clean. The dog walk is excellent with links direct to lovely local walks. A walk into the village is ten minutes via road or the path out of the dog walk. There is a chippy, Spar, petrol station, pharmacy and pub in East/West Ayton. They are in effect the same village separated by a river. I would recommend Ye Olde Forge Inn which is at the bottom of the road which leads up to the site. Great staff, food and ale and its dog friendly. We used the site as a base for the coastal towns and it is good for this. The bus is £2.50 an adult to Scarborough and hourly. Kids half price. However a taxi with Nippy Taxis to Scarborough is only £6.60 each way so we used them after the first bus trip. Didnt try the chippy in the village but others on the site said it was excellent. TV reception via the sites plug in system is very good except for BBC. We got about 80 TV channels. One brilliant thing the site has is a dog shower which was invaluable for our mutt who loves the mud and the river on Forge Valley. It is clear that the wardens take great pride in this lovely site.We will be back ... Also I am now a Wetherspoons convert ...... The Lord Rosebery in Scarborough is very good value and a very nice pub.

Quiet corner of Yorkshire

Excellent site in a quite corner of West Ayton, local amenities 10 minute walk from the site. ideal site for families and dog owners as there plenty of walks stretching out into the north Yorkshire moors, although the staff were new to the site they were very knowledgeable on the surrounding area, well worth a visit.

Spot on site!

We stayed here for 4 nights over the Easter weekend, and surprisingly got a pitch having only called a few days previous! We arrived after 7pm on a Thursday night and had a big choice of pitches to choose from. Pitches were large and well spaced out, plenty of room for caravan, awning and car. 2 play areas for kids, the reception did say they were planning on installing football nets / goals, I suggest this is a priority as our boys played a lot of football with the other boys on site during our stay and nets are always appreciated by them! Toilets and showers were of the usual club high standards. The park was well maintained, lots of warden presence. Nice information kiosk with plenty of local info. We visited Walker's restaurant in West Ayton and had the best fish and chips we have ever had in a restaurant! The location of this site is easy to find, access is good for larger outfits and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly return!
