  • Well-maintained glamping park close to the East Yorkshire coast
  • Near the A165; 10 minutes' drive to Bridlington and 25 to Scarborough
  • Smart, well-insulated pods with kitchen kit and campfire area
Channel your inner Viking and run rampant along the north-east coast at this family-run site in East Yorkshire. Set in pleasing green surrounds, the fab accommodation at Viking Garth Hideaways is close to both established seaside spots like Bridlington or Scarborough and the wilder cliffs and coves of the Flamborough Headland Heritage Coast. Pods are spread over tree-lined grounds, with plenty of picnic tables about where you can admire the view or tuck into an alfresco meal (or both…). Campfires are also welcome in the designated areas – wood and charcoal can be picked up in Bridlington (10 minutes' drive), along with other holiday essentials. Finished off in natural wood, Viking Garth Hideaways' all-weather accommodation is easy on the eye both inside and out. This eco-conscious spot has also kitted out all of its pods with double glazing and insulation (heating is on hand for those cooler nights). The smart interiors are mightily functional too, coming with a microwave, fridge, crockery, cutlery, a TV and a DVD player. If and when you manage to pull yourself away from these snug surrounds, start your explores with jaunts to seaside villages like Bempton (five minutes' drive), which has a village pub, a railway station and other handy amenities. Want a day off from driving? A local bus stops a few minutes' walk away from the site entrance.

Camping pod

Liked: This site really is a wonderful place to stay. With only four pods it’s so peaceful. The pods are spotless and every minor detail has been thought about to give you a great stay. The owners really go the extra mile, the kids even had an egg each left them upon arrival! We will definitely be back to stay at this site in the summer. The site is great for visiting Scarborough, Bridlington, Filey ect. We especially loved the fire pit and the cooking area.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike!

Camping pod

Liked: We had a lovely peaceful stay here for my partners birthday. The pod was lovely and clean, plenty spacious, and a truly cosy home from home for the few days. We were even surprised with a balloon and bottle of Prosecco for my partner's birthday which was such a lovely touch! We'll definitely be coming back again in the future 🥰 Location was perfect for what we wanted, not too far from the coast and local attractions. We had a day trip up to Whitby and access to main roads was perfect for this.

Liked: We had the best weekend for my daughter's 13th. The pod was very clean, perfect size and had everything we needed. Perfect outdoor space for campfire's and bbq's! The owners were very helpful and kind enough to leave birthday balloons and banners for my Daughter! Nice little surprise😊

Camping pod

Liked: The site and location was lovely and my son happily played in the garden in front of the pods and even made friends with kids from other pods. Having our own fire pit and outside area was perfect too.

Camping pod

Liked: Excellent quiet location, despite being near busy main roads, you would never know it! Cabin was perfect and very clean. Had all we needed for our 2 night stay. A small play area including a box full of various sports equipment and a football net for all to use. Would absolutely recommend to family and friends, and will be returning at least twice next year ☺️

Camping pod

Liked: That there are shops and beaches which are only a short drive away. The pod was nice, but for the price of that one, there are better options elsewhere.

Disliked: The park was not really a park it had a small climbing wall.

Local attractions

Wrap up warm against the wind and head to RSPB Bempton Cliffs Seabird Centre (10 minutes' drive), a high-up spot with spectacular coastal panoramas and where, from March to October, you can watch around half a million birds tending to their young on the cliff face. For swim-friendly spots, meanwhile, make for one of the several beaches around Bridlington (10 minutes) or check out Scarborough's sandy seafront (25 minutes). Also within easy reach, the former fishing village of Filey (10 minutes) has a great seaside golf club, an animal park and plenty of fish and chip shops to take advantage of. After dawdling here for a while, the sweet selection of attractions on offer in Sewerby (15 minutes) may very well catch your eye – Sewerby Hall and Gardens and Sewerby Zoo are the two must-sees, but an entertaining couple of hours can also be had at Bondville Model Village or Danes Dyke beach. Heading inland, the North York Moors National Park (30 minutes) has hundreds of acres of heather-covered heathland to explore and ace forest trails to tread. Bit more adrenaline needed? Then get yourself to Flamingo Land Resort (45 minutes), a popular local theme park.
