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 campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked A great pop up campsite. Great views towards the coast and can just see the sea. Toilets and showers were exceptionally clean and the outdoor basins too. The owners checked in with you to ensure everything was alright. We didn’t have children with us but they are catered for very well. We treated ourselves to pizzas, they were fab, tasty and well presented.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked What an absolutely wonderful weekend we’ve had! From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome by the owners and their family. They are genuinely some of the kindest, most helpful people we’ve met and really couldn’t do enough for us. It’s clear how much love and effort they put into creating such a special place.

The campsite itself was beautiful, and the facilities were exceptional. The showers and toilets were absolutely spotless throughout our stay – honestly some of the cleanest we’ve ever seen while camping.

There was such a lovely atmosphere, with plenty to keep families entertained. The nighttime wildlife walk was such a special experience, and the teddy bear hunt was so much fun. They made our trip even more memorable and gave us some wonderful moments together.

We also couldn’t resist the food, and we’re so glad we didn’t! The pizzas, burgers, pancakes and waffles were all absolutely delicious and the perfect treat after a day of camping.

Thank you so much for making our first visit so special. We left with happy memories, full stomachs and big smiles, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. If you’re thinking of staying here, don’t hesitate – you won’t be disappointed!

Liked What an amazing campsite with great facilities all 10/10 super clean. What made it even better was how the team make everyone feel super welcome, going above and beyond in all areas. My little girl is still talking about going on a Late night tour of the animals with all the kids. This is what camping is all about.

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).
