Liked: Everything! Denise and Robbie are brilliant. Their little site is a quiet little gem in nature. You wake up to horses and tweeting birds, bliss! There are 2 ladies toilets, mens and 2 showers which are immaculate.
This is a super welcoming, no frills adults only campsite so if you are looking for a warm welcome, peace and quiet on a budget then this is the place to come. We will definitely be returning regularly. 🌞🐴🐦👍

Liked: Very fair price for facilities. Toilets & showers good and kept clean and just a short walk from camping areas. Site is on an equestrian centre, with lovely houses and ponies in the fields that back right onto the camp site.
This is a quiet site close to Scarborough and Filey. Filey Brigg Countryside Park is a MUST visit.
Disliked: All grass pitches could be rutted in wet weather conditions. However, we had 4 days sunshine and dry in early April 2025 and we had no problems whatsoever. Loved watching the horses.

Camping pod
Liked: Great little hidden gem. Loved the fact that it was adult only. Camping pods were really well designed and equipped. Much better than any standard pod. Great to sit out on the patio and watch the horses.
Toilets as youwould expect. Clean and tidy. Shower rooms were great. Owner seemed lovely when i spoke to her. Camp site was perfect for us as we like quiet. Very secure.
Kids 18 and 20 yrs loved seeing the horses every day. Really well priced too.
