Quarry hill campsite

  • Off-grid camping on hilly grassland near Scarborough, North Yorkshire
  • A 10-minute drive to Filey and Cayton Bay; 20 minutes to Bridlington
  • Hillside or level pop-up camping pitches with showers and toilets
Looking for an off-grid adventure staying on a site with magnificent views of the Yorkshire coastline? Quarry Hill Campsite might be the right spot for you – it's set on nine acres of open grassland and hillside, and with many more acres on hand for you to explore. Yes, this family-run site is off grid but it does have a good clutch of facilities, including spotless separate showers and toilet in a hand-built wooden amenities shack (there are emergency sockets in there for charging devices, by the way), as well as a casual snack bar and alfresco bench seating (both weather dependent) by reception. Barbecues are allowed as long as the weather conditions are not too windy or dry. It's worth noting that the ground is not completely flat here, but the tradeoff for that hilly location is some excellent Yorkshire coastline views. From various points around the site, you can see Scarborough, Filey and Bridlington, as well as the surfing beach at Cayton Bay. Well-behaved dogs are welcome to share your North Yorkshire camping break here, and they're also allowed on Cayton Bay beach all year round. If you’re walking the Yorkshire Wolds Way and don’t have a car, buses to Bridlington and Filey are a short walk away.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked We came here as a group of 4 and had such a lovely stay here this weekend. We couldn’t recommend it enough!

As complete camping beginners, we really struggled to get our tent up in the wind. The owners could see we were having a nightmare and very kindly moved us into an available bell tent instead. It completely saved our weekend, and we were so grateful for their kindness and understanding.

The campsite is run by such a lovely family who genuinely couldn’t do enough to help us. Nothing was too much trouble, and they made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived.

We also had one of their stone-baked pizzas for tea and breakfast sandwiches the next morning, and both were absolutely delicious. The toilets and showers were spotless throughout our stay, and the whole site was clearly very well looked after.

We asked the owners for a taxi recommendation into Scarborough, and they pointed us in the right direction. It was only around a 15-minute journey and really reasonably priced, so it was the perfect location for enjoying a peaceful campsite while still being close to everything Scarborough has to offer.

We’ll definitely be back later this summer, and next time we’ll be booking one of the bell tents from the start! They were in fantastic condition and made our first camping experience so much more enjoyable.

Thank you for making what could have been a stressful weekend into such a memorable one!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Really enjoyed our stay here! Gorgeous views, kids loved the games tent and the nicest couple you could ever meet. Snack bar was greatly appreciated given it rained on the night of our stay so we sacked off the hotdogs we were going to have and had pizzas from the snack bar instead. The prices were so reasonable that we didn't bother putting stove on for a brew in the morn, wee just bought one, along with some amazing pancakes with fruit, chocolate, ice cream and cream instead of our boring cereal!
Shower was lovely and clean and was hot and powerful. Close to loads of beaches. Will definitely return.

Disliked Nothing apart from the hard ground, which they do openly warn about but being a novice camper I didn't know what 'good' pegs were but the lovely bloke told me exactly which ones to buy for next time and assisted me in using mine when I was struggling!

Liked Lovely stay at Quarry Hill. Weather wasn’t always kind but that meant we made good use of the games tent and the food available on site was delicious. Views in the morning were spectacular. The family who run this site were so friendly, we really enjoyed our stay.

Disliked The ground is really hard so remember strong pegs!

Liked The site was simple but has everything you need. The view was simply gorgeous. The snack hut served the best waffles. Activities for kids were on site.
Amazing welcome from the owners/managers was lovely and they consistently made sure everything was ok.

Local attractions

Long-distance walkers, this is a clever overnight stop as the site has direct access to the Yorkshire Wolds Way, and there are bracing hikes along the headlands at Flamborough Head (half an hour’s drive). The North York Moors National Park (15 minutes) is also a hub for hiking and cycling, with many, many trails crossing the moorland. If you’re intent on exploring North Yorkshire’s beaches, you’re spoilt for choice. Dog-owners and surfers can make their way to canine-friendly and remote Cayton Bay (10 minutes’ drive), while Bridlington (20 minutes) has amusement arcades and is the departure point for high-speed boat trips along the coastline. Filey (10 minutes) is known for its quiet family-friendly beach as well as a bird garden, and Scarborough (20 minutes) has a sandy swathe backed by a castle and museums. Kids part of your holiday plans? Let them get up close to cuddle the alpacas and ponies at Playdale Farm Park (10 minutes), or challenge them to races on the inflatables at North Yorkshire Water Park (20 minutes). And if they’re playing up, you could always lose them (temporarily of course) in the seasonal maze at Great Ryedale (15 minutes).
