The cry of gulls carries across the clifftops here, mingling with the salt tang of the North Sea — you're on proper Whitby coast, where the moors roll down to meet fishing villages and fossil beaches.

This is a caravan and campervan site for those who've brought their own four walls and want a straightforward base near one of Yorkshire's best-loved seaside towns. Dog owners should ask ahead about bringing pets, and if you're dreaming of campfire evenings, check the current policy when you arrive — it's worth the question. The park itself keeps things simple, so don't expect a long facilities list, but that suits many visitors who prefer a no-fuss pitch within reach of Whitby's abbey ruins, harbour fish and chips, and the dramatic coastal paths that snake north and south.

Expect a quiet, unfussy stay with the kind of folk who know what they need from a site: a level spot, sea air, and easy access to one of the most atmospheric stretches of the North York Moors coastline.
