Yes
So looking at Bempton for Spring next year but accommodation will be B&B or Hotel so for those who have been to Bempton what would be the ideal amount of days? obviously the more you can stay the better but without a fancy motor home the choice becomes limited somewhat, am looking at a 3 night stay so first evening and last morning would give 8 possible visits. Russ.
 
Currently on a haven 4 night break ,cost just over £150 . Got issued a brand new 3 bedroom caravan with all facilities. , central heating etc only about a mile from bempton . Cheaper than towing our own tourer here .
Got a boat trip booked for later today on the ocean explorer catamaran out of brid harbour that featured on springwatch .
PS there are four haven sites within easy reach of bempton cliffs
Can recommend this one Thornwick bay . Only a short walk to the flambough cliff tops and north landing

But did you get any Gannet images?:):LOL:
Should have given a bit earlier warning than that on the weather.

After 2 days on cliffs I had exhausted picture taking ! Went for a walk down to Flamborough Cliffs and onto Queens Rock so IMHO 2 days is enough plus extra day if you want a boat trip.
If you want a boat trip try first day, then if weather is bad you have another chance... Good Luck and Enjoy ... !

Just booked 4 days there from 24th May 2027 less than £200 for 4 people in a Silver Caravan, many thanks for the info in the first place. Russ.

You will enjoy it there’s even a wildfowl lake and bird hide on site , ..and the main puffin nest sites are about half a mile away . Far more than you get at bempton
 
I don't think I could do more than 4 nights. It's not a place that has much going on besides the birds and in Spring it will be super early starts and late finishes. I did 3 nights last June which was enough - arrived Thursday evening and left Sunday after the morning visit to the cliffs. I had 3 sunsets and 3 sunrises. I was knackered at the end with all the walking and picture taking but it was brilliant.
 
Just been down for an evening stroll , got some superb lesser white throat shots , . We also popped our heads into the onsite restaurant today and to be perfectly honest the prices were low compared to some places I.e a mixed grill for £21 .. and it’s a very well kept and tidy site in general
