Description

Overview

Crows Nest Caravan Park is situated on the glorious Yorkshire coast between Scarborough and Filey. Privately owned and operated by the Palmer family, this Rose-Award-winning park is the perfect base for families and couples wishing to explore one of England's finest holiday destinations.

Only five miles from the fun filled attractions of Scarborough and two-and-a-half miles from the tranquility of Filey, Crows Nest Caravan Park is the ideal location to enjoy these two great seaside towns and their glorious sandy beaches.

A grassy area overlooking Gristhorpe Bay looking out towards Scarborough Castle is set aside for tents - a sensational view that will amaze you every morning. The tent area does not have regimental or marked-out pitches, thus giving you the freedom and varied choice of where you would like to pitch your tent i.e. flat, gentle sloping, sea view, sheltered, etc.

A fantastic new toilet block is just a short walk away, featuring toilets, free hot showers, wash basins, shaver points, hair dryers and plenty of plug sockets for straighteners, etc. We also have family shower rooms and a disabled shower room. A pot wash, laundry and chemical disposal point are also available. For families with children please be assured that the tent area is well fenced from the cliff top, and has a close proximity to the play area.

Facilities include:
- Heated Indoor Swimming Pool
- Supermarket
- Lounge Bar, featuring live entertainment in high season
- Family Bar
- Fish and Chip Takeaway
- Games Room
- Children's Play Area

Scarborough, Britain's first seaside resort, has been welcoming visitors for over 360 years and is still as popular as ever. Scarborough is a great a place to stay for a holiday or short break, with the safe, sandy, accredited North Bay Beach and South Bay Beach being broken by a rocky headland on which stands a reminder of the past, the historic Scarborough Castle.

The resort offers first-class attractions such as the award-winning Sea Life Marine Sanctuary, Scarborough Open Air Theatre, Scarborough Art Gallery and the refurbished Rotunda Museum, along with many festivals, including Seafest, Jazz, Bike week, Scarborough Fayre and the Scarborough Cricket Festival, provide you with all year round events.

Filey is an Edwardian English seaside town with a friendly atmosphere. A perfect place for those who want an active holiday, a short break or for those who just prefer to relax with the restful background of fishermen mending their nets.

The five-mile stretch of award winning sandy beach is protected by the rocky grandeur of Filey Brigg, a haven for a variety of birds and wildlife. All generations of families can enjoy the nature trail along Filey Brigg as they explore the many rock pools in search of sea creatures. Surfing, fishing, yachting, golf, walking and bird watching are just a few of the activities to be enjoyed.

Nearby attractions include Scarborough Sea Life Centre / Flamingo Land / Eden Camp / John Bull Rock Factory / Castle Howard / Playdale Farm Park / Quad Bike Trekking / Horse Riding / Go Ape.
