A Really nice surprise and super-pitches too
We booked this site last minute, when it suddenly showed up as available for our short stay in October. We were well aware that it is a work in progress, and were delighted to be able to book. We were on the section that is entirely fully serviced. This is something that we always look for, and can sometimes take some finding among Caravan and Motorhome Club sites. It was easy to find using the SatNav, but better signage would be appreciated. When we arrived, the wardens could not have been more friendly and helpful, and we soon chose our pitch and settled in.
The pitch did slope a little from side to side, and I had forgotten the levelling blocks, but it wasn't too much of an issue for us. Some pitches did, we noticed, slope quite badly and will need attention. They were, however large enough for a big caravan, awning and car. The services were well-maintained, and in good working order, although some of the waste water drains were a little overgrown. I understand that this site is due for refurbishment this winter. We found the toilets very clean and warm, but we didn't use any of the other facilities.
The only issue was the lack of privacy and openness of the site. We were quite disappointed to see that many of the existing trees and bushes were being cut down, and can only hope that a planting scheme will be embarked on to provide a little more shelter.
Security is a big thing these days, and we were delighted that the barrier and entry cards worked so well.
This site is very handy for Scarborough and Filey, and is in a good location for the moors and coast. As it hardly stopped raining, we did not explore the area on foot, but for all that, we very much enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning, hopefully in better weather.
