Widely acclaimed as one of the best privately owned holiday parks in the country, the Flower of May is constantly updated to provide the most comprehensive facilities on the east coast.
The large landscaped park offers plenty of room to relax in our luxurious caravans, your own tourer or tent and the facilities and entertainment are unrivalled.
The park is set in glorious open countryside where the beautiful Yorkshire Wolds roll down to the sea.
on site 9 hole golf course, basketball court, skate-board ramp.
enquired about camping on this site for a week summer 2011 with my family.Wasn't happy being told my tent was too big 7.4mt x 3.5mtr, Camping has really exploded with more and more families wishing to camp (so tents are bigger)as this is a most excellent site you would have thought it catered for big tents.
Cannot not fault facilities, shower/toilet/pots & pans rooms are cleaned daily and maintained well. Very disappointed that there is a charge for electricity, never had to do this before and found it costly for just a 5 visit. Also dissapointed that families are also charged for using swimming pool, costly for a family of 5. Entertainment was very good, however Bar staff could have been more approachable & friendly, plus prices for drinks were more costly, therefore would not go in that often. Wardens were ok however seemed to dislike children playing on the park at dusk! Overall enjoyable stay but doubt will return due to cost of electricity.
I cannot praise this site highly enough. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The showers, washrooms and toilets are spotless and have everything you need. We took our two granddaughters, 13 and 9yrs, they loved the swimming pool, play area and entertainment at night. We originally went for 5 days but booked an extra night because we didn`t want to come home. We will definitely be using this site again and would recommend it to anyone.
Flower of May Holiday Park, Scarborough, North Yorkshire
We visited The Flower of May in August, after moving site from a Haven site down the road, we found the site clea, nicely presented and the staff really really pleasant. The toilets were nice and clean, the play ground was great for the kids and the evening enterainment good. The only downside of this site would be that you have to pay to go in the swimming pool. However that certainly wouldnt put us off from visiting this lovely site next year.

This park is ideally located to access Scarborough, Filey and Bridlington by car. There is no direct access to a beach but a great cliff top view is a short walk away. Site is kept clean but we tend not to use toilet blocks too much anyway.
Our main gripes with this site is the fact it is laid out to maximise profit i.e. your crammed on with very little if any 'personal space' if your using your awning. Also, we were mixed in with some tents (no offence intended here) which meant that it was quite noisy late on when our kids were in bed.
We were also advised that only 'star' pitched remeained when booking, but as previous reviewer states we cannot recall any 'standard' pitches.
Playground was of good quality.

Handy tip,don't spend your money paying £4.50 per night for star pitch, they only have star pitches so you will be put on one anyway and not charged for it!! Also the 'all weather awning pitches flood',if you take your awning down, they will refund you the money - but we couldn't do this with two kids and a dog in tow, needed the storage space. I asked the area manager for a refund for the star pitch as less than half the caravans had paid for this facility and was told to 'mind my own business'.
The swimming pool was £1.30 per child and £1.70 per adult, this added up for a family of four. There was't any entertainement mid week at the start of July and the arcade closed at tea time. I have visited this site previously, but unfortunately this time I won't be back. The site is clean but you are charged for too many extras.
Nice clean park with decent size park for the kids and good facilities. Showers are clean and plentiful. Easy to get to off main Scarborough to Filey Road but is much closer to Filey than it is to Scarborough. Only gripe was that you had to pay extra for Swimmimg pool, i thought it was included in pitch fee which is not exactly cheap. On the whole though well recommended with friendly staff.
We have a caravan on the fir tree park site owned by flower of may.My father bought our 2 year old daughter olivia who has a very rare heart condition the caravan last august.
The site and everything on it are brilliant olivia enjoys every visit,the only down side is the family room where the kids have entertainment.It is non smoking at the bar only which spoils the enjoyment for a majority of the kids,especially olivia as exposure to smoke could cause a heart attack.We have written to flower of may asking them to consider making this room non smoking,as there is another large bar beside the family one where adults can enjoy a smoke until the ban comes in next year,we are still waiting and hoping for a reply before the new season starts,and hope and i am sure we will have many more enjoyable seasons on fir tree park.shane rhodes.

THIS SITE IS IN A EXCELLENT POSITION FOR SCARBROUGH AND FILEY, ALL AMIENTYS ARE OF EXCELLENT STANDARD, AND ARE VERY CLEAN AND TIDY. THE ONLY DOWNSIDE TO THIS SITE IS THE LITTLE EXTRAS YOU HAVE TO PAY ON YOUR ARRIVAL ie. pay for awing, extra car, you also have to pay extra if you want to stay longer on the last day as you have to vacate the site for 12 noon. BUT IF YOU ARE PREPARED FOR THESE LITTLE EXTRAS (now that you know) ITS A BRILL SITE FOR ALL THE FAMILY AND ITS WELL WORTH THE VISIT

Flower of May Holiday Park is near the popular east coast towns of Scarborough – which claims to be Britain’s first seaside resort – and Filey with its five miles of beach. The site is ideally placed as a base to explore the area and is close to both beaches and moors.
It is a self-contained holiday resort with just about every amenity you could wish a family caravan park to have. This includes a heated indoor pool, whirlpool bath , squash courts, bowling alley, table tennis, snooker and electronic games room. It also has an on-site supermarket, a number of pubs, and a fish and chip shop.
The park is spotlessly clean at all times and the grass, trees, bushes and flowerbeds are all carefully tended. The washing facilities are also cleaned twice a day and well kitted-out. The pitches are primarily grass, although there are also 75 hardstanding and 74 full-service pitches available. The majority have electric hook-ups (5-10A), and the full-service pitches provide access to sewage disposal. They are arranged in groups of nine, surrounded by small trees and bushes. The whole site is designed around the concept of fun and relaxation.
Some of the sights you may wish to visit include Bridlington, which has some of the tallest cliffs in the country, and York, which needs no introduction. In addition, what you are offered at the holiday park is access to a wide range of facilities so that if you don’t feel like going anywhere, you don’t have to.
The site has also built up a loyal following, so be sure to book up in plenty of time for the high season.
