Crows Nest Caravan Park Reviews 11

We have just got back from our 5 night stay where we camped on the EHU. What a beautiful campsite with everything you need.
On arrival we were given a schedule of the opening times for all amenities on site and a map.

We arrived on a Thursday and it was lovely and quiet, so gave us chance to settle on before the weekend rush.

The toilet/shower blocks were fab, plenty of toilets and showers and even enclosed separate sink areas which was great for a wash and brushing teeth. They also had a family room with a shower, sink, toilet and baby changing station which is really helpful, especially when having to take the kids to the toilet together.

The toilet/shower blocks were cleaned first thing in the morning and the team got them all beautifully clean and were friendly.

On the weekend though, they got pretty grim, with sanitary products being left on floors and tissue everywhere. I can only assume campers were flushing things other than tissue down the toilet, as a few occasions they were blocked and backing up. I must stress this is nothing against the campsite though, just clearly campers who have little to zero respect. May be an idea to have two cleans on a weekend.

The park was amazing for the kiddies and they loved spending time on there. There was a family who's kids had electric bikes and were whizzing about the park at quicker speeds than a standard bike and nearly took my 2 year old about on a few occasions.

We only used the swimming pool once, but on the one time we went it was lovely and clean and plenty of locker space and changing facilities.

They have a little on site arcade which the kids enjoyed.. be sure to take change for this as cash only.

The onsite shop had everything you needed from camping equipment, food, swimming, toys, sweets and ice creams etc and all very reasonably priced.

We only visited the bar once, we played a couple of games of pool and put some music on the jukebox which the kids enjoyed. I will say though and this is the only thing that put me off regarding the site, there were so many flies, so much so even the bar staff had a fly swatter. I took my little girl to the toilet and there were about 30 flies in the toilet, on the toilet and all over the walls. I do understand that being coastal and with the up and down weather we have had this makes a perfect breeding ground, but maybe even a wall mounted electric fly zapper would help somewhat. Another customer mentioned it to the bar member and they were told that management wouldn't pay money for it, which I think is a shame.

In all though, we absolutely loved our little family get away, which was our youngest first camping experience. We have already talked about coming back again next year.

Thank you Crows Nest and we will fingers crossed be back next year.

Caravan was spotless, our second visit, the location is perfect, many places to visit nearby and the clifftop walk is lovely, we will be back

Good location with great views from the top of the site, family friendly with good amenities and clean site, fish shop great and camp site shop covers the basics,well worth a visit 😀

Absolute shocking CS, I have made a booking by mistake(wrong site) via Pitchup and requested cancellation within an hour, the cancellation was successful so I was expecting a refund, obviously - small fee as it was my mistake would be reasonable. it’s been 3 weeks now. I have chased up for a refund status and their reply was:
"Thank you for your email. The booking is non-refundable as per the terms and conditions that you agreed to. At no point have we agreed to refund any of the payment."
So, they charged me full price for the service they haven’t provided, hanging to their T&C like a hyenas they are. I would understand if this booking was on for days or weeks, but I have requested the cancellation within an hour! Even we're fully planned up for this year. I thought I might be able to squeeze in an 2 day stay at Crow’s Nest if they give me reasonable date, so the matter is settled and who knows, this review could be a positive one… but nah, they just ignored me and stole my £108…
If Crow Nest holiday park work ethos is running “family holiday” honest business, then they are miles away from that. Simply thieves in white gloves that’s what they are.
I advise anyone to steer clear from this vile people.

Dirty facilities, there's as much poo on the dog walking field as in the toilets.
Shop sells out of date meat, which would be nice for a barbeque.
Too close to the cliff edge to enjoy your camping trip even if you have an air tent like us, which on last review we were told we could blow back up, if you survive the storm.
Forgot my TV to watch the BBC in our tent.
But thanks so much crows nest for your kind response and hospitality, maybe get yourself on a customer service course they do a level 2 and sorry I forgot the bullet points yet again.

I booked a caravan for a 3 night stay. I payed £500 for a 2 bedroom, pet friendly, deluxe caravan. What I got was no way deluxe. It was dirty, food left in draws, a tiny T.V, smelly drains, sink in bathroom didn't empty properly. When we pulled out the sofa bed we found dirty socks, hankies, pens, note pad and old food. We reported it to the office who sent a cleaner to wipe it over. I did comment on there Facebook page but they hid my comments and blocked me. So for reference don't book deluxe pet friendly 2 berth caravan L3....you'll end up disappointed.

It’s ok.
It’s a free for all campsite so everyone ends up extremely close. It’s also cliff top and incredibly windy on some days.
Facilities are ok but the sheer volume of ppl means they smell and can be dirty/wet.
I also found it expensive. £80 for two nights no electricity.
The bar is full on Phoenix nights.
The pool is freezing chaos. £3 for the privilege and they really need reporting to environmental health due to chemical levels. My children couldn’t stop coughing and their eyes were red.

Really clean and well run site . Absolutely amazing chip shop on site , probably the best fish and chips I have had for 20 years.

A few negatives . Beach too far away but blame myself for lack of research there.

Water tastes horrid even after boiling for a cup of tea so will definately need lots of bottled water .

No internet on pitches but at least they do tell you it’s main areas only near pub and shops. Other sites pretend they have it but don’t really.

When it’s really full it’s too crowded .

Overall I think it’s more of a family site and we are older so probably better sites for people like us. But would definately come again if was bringing grandkids.

Loved this our whole family enjoyed every minute even with a few tent issues lol. Not commercialised perfect. Thanks.

Crow's Nest Caravan Park - Visited on at least 5 occasions, always with a touring caravan, premium pitches are excellent, with power and main waters and hard standing on each pitch.
Site has pub, shop, fish & chip bar, swimming pool and other play areas for the kids, well located for visits to Bridlington, Scarborough, Filey, Whitby and North Yorkshire Moors.

Staff are friendly, easy to work with and you can book online.
Worth a visit if you need somewhere to stay for a few days or longer
