Grass Tent Pitch

At Crows Nest

Crows Nest Caravan Park, Gristhorpe, Filey, North Yorkshire YO14 9PS

Map Gallery (9) Info
  • Sleeps 10 (max 10 adults, 9 children)
The tent field climbs up and then slopes gently down towards the cliff-top. There’s room for around 150 tents (and the odd campervan) on a pitch-where-you-like basis. As you head up the hill, you’ll spy some secluded areas surrounded by hedges for small groups of tents, and the closer you get to the sea, the quieter and more peaceful the site becomes.

Please note - Bookings are accepted for families and couples only. We do not accept same or majority gender parties.

Family Friendly

Swimming pool, games room, playground... there's no denying the family-friendly functionality of this cliff-top campsite but it's the location by Gristhorpe Bay and the tumbling footpath down to the beach that make it a real winner.
