We've just spent five days at this site and it was up to typical CC standard. It's a large site with pitches on different levels. We were pitched near the bottom of the site and had to use blogs with the rear stays as they wouldn't touch the floor without them. Having said that it was a good pitch and not far from the kids play area. We had the grandkids with us and one point I thought they were the only ones on site probably due to the fact that most of them would have just gone back to school. The site was pretty much full every day but it didn't appear to be 'busy' or noisy. As reported by others toilet blocks are dated but they were fine with powerful showers. A nice touch was around the information hut which had a pleasant wooden seating area with tables, fence and a gate. There was a large size playing field at one end of the site with the games room and another outside play area with climbing/balance features for the older children. The door walk area is nearby. Scarborough is only 5 miles away. Helmsley is a nice little town to visit. It's geared up for tourists as there's plenty of cafes, cake and butchers shops etc. Also near Helmsley at Duncombe Park is the National Centre For Birds Of Prey which we visited. Basically, there's plenty to see using this CC as a base whether you fancy the seaside or a more peaceful rural setting.
