Site is tiered and was a bit tight and hilly for our old bus with no power steering lol but location was great nice and quiet electric hook up and a water tap near by. As we were there for weekend we had shower onboard etc so never used facilities to comment apart from the missus using the loo and said there was no way to dry her hands. Steep hill down to Whitby but it was only 10 minute walk to centre and as a blind person manage quite well. It was £35 per night and as newbies we were happy with that nothing else to compare it with would have liked to meet mike but maybe when we come next time as would definitely come back. thank you · via Google [Donna Farrington](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107214467780170464943/reviews) ★★★★★ Just came back from camping here for 2 days.What a lovely little campsite.Very quiet and clean site with excellent toilets and hot showers. Walking distance to Whitby Abbey and the marina and beach.Definately would go back to stay here.Little gem 👏👏 · via Google [steven mitchell](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108752758182987717264/reviews) ★★★★★ Fantastic location, more catered for motorhomes than camping as very expensive at 35 pound for a patch of grass, but motorhomes 35 pound with electric 🤔 The town 10 min walk and the Abbey about 5 so can’t fault the location It’s very clean and nice shower wet rooms which are free (no tokens) Another plus is No Dogs , so it’s quiet. A bit strict on where they put you with not much thought to your privacy or proximity. But I was next to a lovely couple on way back upto Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. If the camping price lower you’d get a lot more camping but maybe you prefer motorhome? Not the warmest welcome I’ve experienced but not the worst . No way of drying hands so toilet paper used for that . · via Google [wes atkinson](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/103335086813221421525/reviews) ★★★★★ Great campsite in Whitby, very close to the town & very peaceful location. Toilets & showers were nipping clean also. We will definitely be returning. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x487f176cde7beea3:0xf4d303a702662928!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Abbey Lane, Whitby, YO22 4JT [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=54.4883316%2C-0.6078836) **Category** Landmarks & Monuments **Guest rating** 4.6 / 5 (15,404 reviews) **Suitable for** Ages 9+ **Setting** Outdoor **Dogs allowed** No **Good for children** Yes **Toilets on site** Yes **Destination** Whitby [More attractions in Whitby](https://staycation.co.uk/whitby/attractions) ★ 4.6 (15,404 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/whitby-abbey/?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [0370 333 1181](tel:03703331181) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Whitby **Postcode** YO22 4JT **Payment** Cards, Contactless **Plus Code** 9C6XF9JV+Q3 [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x487f176cde7beea3:0xf4d303a702662928!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487f176cde7beea3:0xf4d303a702662928!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487f176cde7beea3:0xf4d303a702662928!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Whitby Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
