Cayton Bay in Scarborough is one of my favourite Holiday places.
It is only a 15 minute bus/cab ride from Scarborough and the buses are about every half an hour.
The Park itself is clean. You come in through the front gate and straight to reception. Lucky for us our caravan was right behind the reception building and about 50 yards from the entertainment complex.
Our Caravan was also much more than we could have asked for. 3 bedrooms which meant that the children wouldn't have to share after all (according to my reservation we should have been in a 2 bed) There was heaters in all the rooms as well as a separate toilet and shower.
The kitchen had a microwave and a Forman grill and the lounge area had a DVD player as well as Freeview and built in radio. It was obvious that we had secured a privately owned unit as there were a selection of games in the cupboard and little ornaments scattered about the caravan.
As far as the entertainments go Park Resorts have their own characters. Firstly the hero of the hour is Sparky the rabbit along with his slightly more intelligent girlfriend Sparkle. The other character though was by far our favourite, he is Naarky the Nardvark. There is the usual kids club and every evening the entertainment for kids starts about 8pm with a show and games, prizes and of course the obligatory Party dances demonstrated by the Park resorts Teamstars.
For the adults there was the the resident cabaret who were a band called Jinx. They are a family consisting of Dad on Bass, Son on Drums and the 2 daughters doing all the singing.
In the club you have the usual Star bars and Wonder bar selling all the kids sweets, Slushes and glow in the dark accessories. It wouldn't be the same without them and you can also by the big 1yard cups to fill your kiddies full of fizzy pop.
As far as eating out goes, there is the good old pub meals or a wonderful little take-away that does everything including Pizzas, kebabs and burgers. Just the perfect thing to take back to the caravan after you come out of the show.
One thing I liked in the pub was the big comfy leather sofas. I was able to settle down on the Sunday afternoon and watch my footie team live on Sky.
The camp isn't far from the beach. Just about a 5 minute walk. 1 drawback is it is a huge hill down to the beach but comes with fantastic breath-taking views. I did have to stop a few times walking back up though.
This is definitely a place I would go again. Full thumbs up from me!!! read more
