Caravan parks for dogs

Question

My family and I like to do a weeks holiday with the dogs every year. I’m desperate to go to Whitby but we can’t find any static caravan parks that allow dogs.

The closest is on Filey and that’s an hour away. Can you recommend any parks or any type of accommodation that allows dogs? We don’t own a caravan.

Archie said thanks in advance 🐶

We rent a cottage in Staithes every summer with our 2 greyhounds. Super dog friendly little village and a 20 min drive to Whitby. It's on the Cleveland Way so some nice dog walks, and lovely pubs!!

Parkdean Resorts' Cayton Bay site allows dogs. A bit nearer than Filey and a great destination in its own right.

Clayton Bay does seem to be ticking a lot of boxes. I’m going to take a look now, thank you.

There is a few more caravan sites near there too. We had a tourer on a seasonal pitch a couple of years ago. The dog loved it. Lovely area too

Have you tried Cayton Bay?

Thats about an hour from Whitby , just down the road from Scarborough and Filey and best of all theres an amazing dog friendly beach there. We stopped at somewhere called The Crows Nest with our spaniel , Digga x

I think that might be a bit too far but the dog friendly beach sounds ideal. I’m adding it to the list, thank you.

I stay just near Runswick bay , which is about 7 miles from Whitby. I book a cottage there called Longstone cottage. Dog friendly and great for Whitby , Runswick and Staithes. However if you want night life prob not for you. We go out all day and then come and chill in the evening watching TV and cooking etc.

Oh no, we definitely love a night in, that works perfectly! Sounds like a great location too. I’ll check it out now. Thanks!

Thank you so much. And apologies, I realised after I initially commented that you’d already told me the name of the place. You must think I’m well lazy asking for more info haha. I’ll check this out, thanks.

There's some surprisingly good self catering dog friendly options I've used on booking.com, last year stayed just behind the middle earth pub

I never thought of looking at dog friendly options on booking.com, great idea.

We’re trying to keep prices down and we’ve been spoilt with caravan the last few years. A week in a lovely Devon caravan last summer cost me £68. Crazy prices.

That's crazy, I paid the same for one night at Hunstanton lol
