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 Where do I start this fantastic family run camp site is amazing a shame not open longer my kids are comfortable
As a single mum 2 kids we had a disaster during massive rain storm starting the second day we quickly realised our tent had a massive leak they ensured we was warm and dry which was a relief.
The thoughtfulness of Paul and Kate and the rest of the family are amazing always ensuring kids are smiling never too busy to chat and ask how u are we will be back next year but maybe for longer period

Great bacon sarnies and tea in the morning. Lots of space on the field.
Attention to detail from the owners. They really do see what is important for campers and will help out with alsorts!

Liked This is honestly the perfect place for families, or anyone just looking for a bit of peace and quiet! 🥰
Paul is absolutely brilliant with the children, from late-night bear hunts to trips to see his horses — and my girls even got to collect fresh eggs! 🐴🥚
Kate and the other girls do such a fantastic job in the little café hut too. The food is incredible, and the bubble wands were a HUGE hit with my girls! 🫧
The facilities are spotless!!
Kate & pauls children all do a fab job round the site!

Such a lovely, relaxed place with so much for the kids to enjoy. We absolutely loved it and can’t wait to come back! ❤️

Here, you aren’t just a ‘paying number’ you leave feeling like family.

We will be back for our 3rd visit!

Disliked Absolutely nothing!

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).
