About Blue Dolphin
Blue Dolphin is a Haven holiday park at Gristhorpe Bay, just north of Filey on the North Yorkshire coast. The park climbs a hillside up to the cliff top, so many caravans and lodges look out over the North Sea. It sits right on the Cleveland Way, and the coast path runs one way to Cayton Bay and the other into Filey.
There's no direct beach access from the park. Haven says the closest sandy beach is about two miles away, and Filey's long sandy beach is an easy day out. Filey railway station, on the Hull–Scarborough line, is also around two miles away.
What's on the park
- Pools: a heated indoor pool with a multi-lane water slide, plus an outdoor pool open in the summer, weather permitting.
- Entertainment: shows every evening, an amusements arcade, and the indoor SportsDrome with a climbing wall and roller disco.
- Things to do: a fishing lake, crazy golf, kart and bike hire, soft play, and kids' clubs for different ages.
- Food and shopping: the Brigghouse Restaurant, fish and chips and other takeaways, an ice-cream shop and a supermarket.
- For owners: Haven lists an owners' lounge, a private owners' gym and owners-only events through the season.
Around Filey and Scarborough
Filey's beach, promenade and Filey Brigg are close by. Scarborough is a short drive up the coast, with Scarborough Castle and the SEA LIFE sanctuary. Flamingo Land is within reach for a family day out. Walkers can pick up the Cleveland Way straight from the park.
Swapping and letting at Blue Dolphin
If you own a caravan here, you already have the most valuable thing for a swap: a holiday home on a popular Yorkshire coast park. List it for free and you can swap weeks with owners elsewhere — the Lakes, Wales, Scotland, Cornwall — and pay nothing for the holiday. If a swap doesn't line up, you can offer a private let and keep 100% of the rent. Just check your licence agreement and Haven's current rules on subletting first.
If you're looking for a stay, message the owner of any home above. You're dealing with a fellow owner who looks after their caravan, not a stranger, and there's no booking fee.
The park season usually runs from around March to the end of October. Check current dates with the owner or the park before you plan a trip.
