  • Pop-up North Yorkshire site with spectacular views to Scarborough
  • On the Cleveland Way National Trail; Cayton Bay five minutes’ drive
  • Off-grid with all pitches facing the sea; farm shop 15 minutes’ walk
The clue’s in the name at Scarborough Sea View Camping, a clifftop retreat on the North Yorkshire coast. All the pitches face the coast, so you will indeed have spectacular views over the sea, in this case the North Sea to Scarborough (15 minutes’ drive), giving you a front-row seat on one of England’s most spectacular coastlines. Here you can wake to vibrant sunrises and cosy up on clear evenings to watch sunsets in the west. And there’s plenty more going for this peaceful site as well: walkers will perk up on hearing that it’s right on the Cleveland Way National Trail, surfers can catch waves at popular Cayton Bay (five minutes’ drive), and families can head for Go Ape or scenic biking trails in Dalby Forest (40 minutes). There’s also a farm shop 15 minutes’ walk away where you can get a decent coffee and homemade food. There’s plenty of room so you’re free to pitch up where you wish. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, and barbecues or firepits are allowed as long as they’re raised off the ground to protect the grass. A couple of words of caution though: Scarborough Sea View Camping is exposed. It can get very windy at times, so take care when erecting tents and ensure everything is well secured. Facilities are simple: there are chemical toilets and a water supply (although this comes directly from the mains, the site owners recommend that, for your safety, you use bottled water for drinking) – note that there are no showers on site. The access road is alongside a grass field, so please ensure that your vehicle is suitable for the terrain.

What customers say

This campsite offers spectacular sea views and a peaceful, spacious setting, with easy access to Cayton Bay beach. Visitors praised the excellent location for exploring local towns and noted the value for solo travellers. However, the limited number of portaloos and lack of showers were common concerns. Some also mentioned windiness and the absence of on-site drinkable water. Despite these points, many campers expressed a desire to return.

Disliked Not all pitches can see the sea but still a great location

Liked A really lovely site with fantastic views. Very easy to find and to check in but it felt a thousand miles away. Everyone was very considerate, and the facilities were exactly as described. We'll definitely try and come back next year!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We have just arrived back after spending a couple of nights here. We loved it. The views are amazing the site is well laid out nice large pitches. Basic amenities but you know this when booking. They were clean and well kept. Site was lovely and quiet so kids were able to run free and play games. Nice and quiet. We did pack up and leave the night before due to high winds but that was our choice. The site manager did drive round and let us customers know that winds were expected to reach 30mh which I thought was a lovely gesture to do. Overall a fantastic basic site perfect for exploring the local area and coming back to a stunning view.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked -amazing view
-clean toilets
- peace and quiet
-short walk to the beach

Disliked One small suggestion we’d like to make is about planning the check-in process for groups. We booked two pitches as a group, and fortunately arrived early enough to set up next to each other. However, if we had arrived later, this might not have been possible. It would be great if the campsite could ensure that pitches booked together are located next to each other whenever possible.

Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay and would gladly return. Highly recommended!
