We have been on this site a number of times, unlike a lot of caravan club sites this one is very family friendly a lot of sites favour dogs! But this one is very well run anew extremely friendly, the new swing park is outstanding and clean, even have bike lockers, (great move) the plots are now mostly hard standing, and the site has a great team of staff who are very helpful every part of the site is outstandingly well looked after.
Go white water canoeing...or just watch it!
Booked for two nights, but within one hour extended our stay to four and glad we did!
Wardens work hard to keep this recently refurbished site immaculate. Pitches are generous and well spaced and facilities are definitely one of the best we have experienced on a club site.
Weather was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our trips in the area, especially Saltburn-by-the-Sea and the historic "Headland" area of Hartlepool. The marina area in Hartlepool is worth a visit with its interesting museums.
Site is well placed for travelling north or south from the M1.
Great place to explore
Very clean site and facilities. Great location by the river Tees. Lots of paths to explore the Tees area. Beautiful bridges over the river. Close to the seaside: Redcar and Saltburn. Asda supermarket also very close by, which is useful.
Whitewater revisited
Returned to Whitewater after being updated and still think top of the sites that the club have.
really appreciate the walks that are available from site with the dog.
facilities are top rated as is the service given by the wardens
even the service pitches don't look so gloomy since the bushes and trees have been reduced in quantity and size

Fantastic site plenty to do
This site has recently re-opened after having a make over and it is first class. I have not been on a site before that had a dedicated place to wash your caravan and even bike lock-ups are here for your use. The staff are excellent at keeping the place so tidy and clean the toilets are spotless and the wardens work never seems to be done they are always on hand when needed. There is plenty to do on foot or bike for all ages.
Beware of hardstandings
If you have a motorhome or a caravan without an awning you will love the new look site but if you are a family who rely on using an awning and possibly an inner sleeping compartment for extra accommodation then beware as gravel can seriously damage groundsheets and sewn-in grown sheets in particular. The number of new hardstandings is out of proportion to the remaining grass pitches which are situated at the front of the site by the service road leading to the hotel and pub and the public footpath which runs alongside this part of the site. Not all together a family friendly move by the club but very convenient for others. If using an inner tent with a sewn-in groundsheet take something to put underneath to give some protection from the sharp gravel and be very careful when dismantling your awning not to stand on the canvas or plastic windows as they will get damaged.

Return to site and refurbishment thoughts.....
Welcome: Wardens pleasant, usually found to be very busy around the site keeping site spruced and checking facilities and ironing out teething problems.
Facilities: as expected, new therefore in pristine condition and normal cleaning routines applied with facilities closed for one hour every moring around 11am.
Arrival and Departure: usual problems with early arrivals lining up well before the appropriate and clearly indicated arrival times. Why do people not read the rules...
Dogs: usual issues of owners allowing their pooches to urinate anywhere and everywhere including the gates and railings by the childrens playareas and other folks pitches. WHY???.
Allowing dogs to bark at people walking or sitting outside their outfits. WHY???
Location: site in good position for variety of cycle routes. Plenty of activities to take part in or observe at the White water park 2 minutes walk outside the clubsite gates. Beefeater close by for a meal with friends and family if required.
Public Transport: Information located within information hut useless as provision of bus timetables dated 2012, 2014 and 2015. We used the internet to check available services and there is an excellent variety of services by Arriva and Stagecoach from Middlesborough and Stockton on Tees. There are also services from the stop opposite asda on the main road to Middlesbro' and from the duel carriageway via pedestrian footpath if wanting to visit Hartlepool or further afield. Services also run up to Durham and Newcastle if you fancy a longer day out using a savercard or bus pass.
Other stuff: upgrades are good, visit and see for yourselves. The club have tried to put in a variety of extras at this site and should be commended for it. Please can we see these implemented at other sites where appropriate. We were surprised and pleased with the changes.

Refurbished !
Yes everything has been refurbished/replaced to a good standard. However, pitchers are now approximately 90% hard standing leaving only soft standing (which I prefer) at the side of the site which suffers most from road noise from the busy A19. Would it not have been better to mix the soft/grass standing in with the hard standing pitches? then everyone would be happy. Also was it really necessary to replace the entire tarmac road surfaces??? At what cost? I think members should have a say in upgrades or at least given the opportunity to make suggestions.
New
Everything is new roads are good pitches seem to be up to scratch load more hard standings couple of gents toilets out of order we were on a servis pitch there was a nasty smell from the drains witch were getting looked into as we left couple of wardens were glum faced overall good site
