This Haven site is one of three close together on this coast and is the smallest of them.  This means that the sites main facilities are close by, which compared to some sites is a nice change.

The Haven website says

Gently sloping grassy touring areas

Separate WC and shower for disabled guests

4 covered dishwashing areas with 12 sinks

5-7 minute walk to the Park facilities

Pup tents not accepted

Dogs welcome

 

Right one at a time

  Glently sloping – means on a 6.9m Pageant the hitch is at ground level and the rear steadies are at full extension with 15cm  blocks under them.

  Disabled loo – I had to ask for it to be cleaned the hand drier didn’t work and I am still trying to work out HOW I was supposed to get into the bath which was 23cm  above my chair height

   Dishwashing -  this MAY be true as we were on Touring 1 and security didn’t like you going where you shouldn’t

  Park Facilities – this is definitely a good one AND Touring 1 was next to a very good children’s outdoor play area.

  Pup Tents -  I am still wondering as the Wardens didn’t stop people using them

    Dogs are welcome but I did not see a dog walking area

 

The site has a good indoor pool and well organised entertainment programmes for children and adults.  Whilst it is on the coast the site has a difficult access to the beach which requires using the sites free land train which is 4x4 hauled but private 4x4 are not allowed due to difficulties at the bottom (according to the driver ).

 

This is the roadway from Reighton Gap which is now no longer passable even in a 4x4.

 

There is the usual Mash Barrel Pub/restaurant with Free WiFi but it is of such low power it is ONLY available inside the Mash Barrel.  Ordinary Phone signals are fair depending on server.  

 

If you can get to the beach there is Sea Fishing, otherwise it’s the SOUTH Harbour wall at Bridlington as the nearest.

Access to the site is down a mile long lane from Reighton which was best described by our Grand-daughter as the Humpty Bumpy road, with it’s many hidden dips and crests.  This road is one mile from the A165 Bridlington / Filey Road at Hunmanby Gap.

 

The site is well placed to visit

 

Bridlington, Disabled parking Free South of the Spa

Scarborough, for the Sea-Life Centre (disabled carers get in free but car parking is EXTRA)

Filey, disabled Parking free in most areas

Whitby,  We went by train on the NYMR

York  We found a  Shoppers Car Park with FREE all day disabled parking area on right hand side of Leeman Road before Post Office Sorting office

The North Yorkshire Moors (Railway if you’re like me).  We went from Pickering to Whitby on a day rover ticket (the cheapest way) which allows you to hop on and off as you like all day too.  There is no free parking but you get a ticket to get some of your parking fee back from the refreshment stores and trollies along the railway
