Blue Dolphin Holiday Park

Blue Dolphin Holiday Park sits proudly on the Yorkshire coast near Filey. This AA 4-Star park overlooks Gristhorpe Bay, just two miles from award-winning Filey Beach and its golden sands.

What makes this park special? The heated indoor and outdoor pools with a multi-lane water slide keep everyone happy whatever the forecast. There's also a freshwater fishing lake with eight different swims to try.

Rainy day? The SportsDrome has you covered. The kids can tackle the climbing wall or spin around at the roller disco. Evening entertainment runs daily in the showbar and the Seaside Squad characters keep younger guests entertained.

Dogs are welcome here too! There's a dog-friendly restaurant terrace and walking areas nearby. The Brigghouse Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner for the whole family.

Haven Blue Dolphin Holiday Park Sports & Leisure

Blue Dolphin packs in plenty of ways to stay active during your break. The heated indoor pool features a multi-lane water slide that gets everyone racing. When the sun comes out, the outdoor pool opens up too - weather permitting, between 22 May and the end of the August bank holiday. No booking needed!

The SportsDrome is where the action happens on rainy days. Our climbing wall is getting an update, arriving for spring 2026. There's also a roller disco where the kids can show off their moves.

Something different? Batfast pits you against a virtual bowler or pitcher, tracking your cricket, tennis and baseball scores on a leaderboard. Think you're good? Ask them to crank up the speed and spin.

NERF Training Camp is exclusive to Haven and combines paintball excitement with basketball speed - fast, competitive and great fun. Crazy golf offers a calmer pace as you navigate the different holes around the course.

Junior Segways let the kids master their balance and show off new skills. Kart hire puts pedal power to the test, with helmets included. The football dartboard challenge gets everyone kicking high for points.

4x4 Off-Roaders let your little ones get behind the wheel of their own mini off-roader. They'll concentrate hard as they tackle the twists and turns of the specially built track, loving the freedom of driving it themselves.

Bike Hire gets you moving with Halfords bikes - explore the park, the coast and the surrounding area, with helmets and locks included. When you've finished your cycling adventure, just pop the bikes back and they'll do the rest!

Activitots and Activikids sessions introduce little ones to sports basics, with activity leaders guiding them through throwing, catching, jumping and team play. Football Fun Factory welcomes kids and parents of all ages with age-appropriate groups.

Some activities are subject to a moderate extra charge

Cook's Fish & Chips serves up that unmistakable taste of the coast. Nothing says Yorkshire seaside quite like proper fish and chips. Burger King is also on park for those craving signature burgers and more.

Sweet treats are sorted too. Seaside Treats has all your favourites including ice cream, waffles and coffee. Bertie's Ice Cream is another must-visit - nothing beats a cool treat on holiday, whether you go for one scoop or two.

Kids Will Love

Family fun is at the heart of every Haven holiday and at Blue Dolphin the kids will have a whale of a time.

From pottery to bug hunting, there's a great range of activities to keep the youngsters entertained. Perhaps the most popular sessions are those with the Seaside Squad, the furry mascots who put on weekly shows for the whole family to enjoy!

Haven Accommodation at Blue Dolphin Holiday Park

Blue Dolphin offers caravans and lodges to suit different family sizes and budgets. Guest reviews consistently mention clean, well-equipped accommodation with everything you need, including towels provided.

Accommodation spans a range of grades - PlaySaver, PlayBronze, PlaySilver, PlayGold, Signature Gold, Emerald and Diamond - each offering different levels of space and comfort. Some guests describe the caravans as lovely and spacious with modern fittings throughout, with grades to match a variety of budgets.

Lodge accommodation takes things up a notch for those wanting extra space, ideal for larger families or groups wanting that bit more room to spread out.

Looking for accessible accommodation? Ask for Birchside or Maple Rise. These spots are either close to the main amenities or sit on flat ground with parking right next to your holiday home, making getting around much easier for guests with mobility needs.

The park sits on a hill sloping up to the clifftop, so expect a mix of flat and sloping areas throughout - it's still suitable for pushchairs, though. A leisurely walk from the furthest accommodation to the main facilities takes about 10-15 minutes.

Blue Badge parking spaces are available at the main complex. One reviewer noted they'd stayed three times and never had a bad caravan - that kind of consistency matters when you're booking a family break!

Accommodation Guarantee
All Haven holiday homes come with an Accommodation Guarantee to give you complete peace of mind for your holiday. This means that on arrival, any guest not entirely satisfied with the standard of cleaning or maintenance in their accommodation will immediately be offered a full "no quibble" refund.

All Accommodation includes

  • Shower room & WC
  • Fridge
  • Colour TV
  • Gas fire in the lounge
  • Free gas, electricity and hot water
