Caravan Parks In East Riding Of Yorkshire | MOTORHOMEingLife

Near Bridlington and Flamborough Head, where the coast is at its best. Flamborough Caravan and Motorhome Park has around seventy touring pitches with electric hook-up on grass and hardstanding, handy for the town and the head. For a clifftop sea view, Wold Farm Caravan and Camping Site sits right above Flamborough Head, though it is grass and exposed. Sea View Country Park near Bridlington is a dependable dog-friendly option with a heated shower block. All three are private parks and all get busy in summer, so book early and ask about shelter if you are heading for the exposed clifftop pitches.

Flamborough Caravan and Motorhome Park is a good bet for a big outfit, with hardstanding pitches and sensible access near Bridlington. The clifftop grass sites like Wold Farm are more exposed and, being grass, can be soft after rain, so we phone ahead about ground conditions and rig length before booking one. Sea View Country Park is another manageable choice with electric hook-up and firm access. If you run an A-class or tow a twin-axle, ask specifically about hardstanding, turning space and whether a sheltered pitch is available, since the North Sea wind on the headland can make an exposed grass pitch hard work with a large vehicle.

For summer, yes, particularly the coastal pitches near Bridlington and Flamborough, which fill for July and August and for the seabird season in early summer. We reserve serviced pitches a few weeks out for peak weeks and ring to confirm rig length and whether a sheltered pitch is possible on the exposed sites. In May, June and September you can usually book at shorter notice, and the coast is often just as sunny, with the seabirds at their best in June. Winter narrows the choice, as many coastal parks close, so always ring ahead off-season rather than turning up on spec.

It is good value here. Touring pitches with electric hook-up generally run from about £18 to £32 a night, with serviced pitches at the top and the clifftop grass sites often at the lower end. Sea View Country Park, for example, starts around £30 including electric hook-up and the heated shower block. Electric hook-up is included in the pitch price rather than metered on these private parks, usually a 16 amp supply. Prices ease outside July and August, so timing your trip for May, June or September saves money on the same sunny coast. For longer stays, check whether electricity stays included or switches to a meter.

Yes, though not a national park, as the East Riding has none. Instead there is strong public access to Flamborough Head and its nature reserves, the beaches along the coast, and the quiet public lanes and paths of the Yorkshire Wolds. The RSPB reserve at Bempton Cliffs is open to the public for the seabirds, and the Wolds Way national trail crosses the chalk hills. We pair a private touring park for the facilities with days out on that public land, walking the headland or cycling the Wolds. There is no legal roadside motorhome overnighting, so licensed parks remain the base while the public coast and hills supply the days out.

May through September gives the best of a coast that is among the driest and sunniest in England. June is special for the seabird colonies at Bempton Cliffs, when the gannets and puffins are in full swing, though it is busy. May and September are our value picks, often dry and bright with quieter sites. July and August are warmest and busiest, with coastal pitches booked ahead. Autumn stays mild early and the sea holds warmth into September. Winter is cold and grey with a biting North Sea wind, and many coastal parks close, so plan carefully and expect short daylight on the headland.

Both, and the choice matters on this windy coast. Flamborough Caravan and Motorhome Park offers grass and hardstanding with electric hook-up, while the clifftop sites like Wold Farm are grass and can be soft after rain. We lean towards hardstanding outside high summer, as it keeps a heavy van off soft ground and gives a firmer anchor for the awning in the sea breeze. Grass pitches are pleasant in a dry, settled spell and often roomier, and the clifftop grass gives the best sea views. State your preference when booking, and on the exposed sites ask for a sheltered pitch if wind is forecast.

Yes, at the better-equipped parks near Bridlington, though the clifftop grass sites tend to be simpler. Serviced pitches add fresh water and drainage to the electric hook-up right at the pitch, so you can settle in and explore the coast and the Wolds without trips to the service point. They cost a few pounds more but save the water runs, useful on a touring week. Sea View Country Park and Flamborough Caravan and Motorhome Park are the sort of sites to ask at for better-equipped pitches. Book them early for summer, as serviced pitches are the first category to sell out in peak weeks on this coast.

From a coastal base near Bridlington you can often walk into the town along the front, or drive the car to an edge-of-town car park rather than taking the van into the busy centre. Beverley, with its minster, is best reached by car from a rural base and parked on the edge of the historic core. The seaside towns get congested in summer, so we keep the motorhome on the park and use the car or our feet for the towns. Local buses link Bridlington, Beverley and Hull if you would rather leave the car too and travel car-free for a day.

Most private parks in the East Riding welcome dogs, and Sea View Country Park in particular markets itself as dog-friendly. Parks usually ask that dogs stay on a lead around the site and are cleaned up after. This is a good coast for dog walkers, with the Flamborough headland paths, the Wolds Way and long beaches, though some Bridlington beaches have summer dog restrictions, so check before you go. Some sites limit the number of dogs per pitch, so check the rules when you book. Outside the summer beach bans the sand is excellent for dogs, and the quiet Wolds lanes give easy, safe walking away from traffic.

Some are, but many coastal parks close from late October to March, so off-season plans need checking. If you tour in winter for a bracing headland walk, ring the park directly to confirm it is open and that showers and the service point are running, as some cut facilities even when nominally open. Expect cold, grey weather with a biting North Sea wind, especially on the exposed clifftop sites, and short daylight. Snow is uncommon but hard frosts occur. Sort your heating and gas before you arrive, and favour a sheltered hardstanding pitch. Sites a little inland tend to be calmer than the clifftop ones in a winter blow.

Plenty for a varied week. Flamborough Head has dramatic chalk cliffs, lighthouses and coastal walks, and the RSPB reserve at Bempton Cliffs nearby is one of the best seabird spectacles in England, at its peak in June. Bridlington offers beaches, a harbour and a traditional seaside front. Inland, Beverley is a handsome market town with a magnificent minster, and the Yorkshire Wolds give quiet lanes, pretty villages and the Hockney landscapes to explore by bike or car. Hull, with its museums and marina, is a short drive south. From a coastal base you can mix beaches, birds, towns and the Wolds without long drives.

This is one of the easier counties to tour, with the M62, A165, A164 and A1079 all fine for caravans and motorhomes and no awkward low bridges on the trunk routes. The main things to watch are minor. Bridlington and Beverley centres get congested in summer, so use edge-of-town car parks and keep the van on the park. The Yorkshire Wolds lanes are quiet and pleasant but narrow in places, so take them steadily on the back roads. The clifftop park approaches near Flamborough can be exposed and, on grass sites, soft after rain, so confirm access and ground conditions when you book.
