  • Quiet site on the north-east coast between Filey and Scarborough
  • A 15-minute walk from Cayton Bay beach via a traffic-free path
  • Farm shop and café next door; pub 10 minutes' walk away
Some visitors wax lyrical about North Yorkshire’s coastline, while others are rather fonder of its countryside… so it’s handy indeed that you can easily check out both aspects of the county’s scenery during a stay at The Paddock Campsite. This quiet, friendly site is just outside the village of Lebberston, on the coast between Filey and Scarborough (both of which are within a 10-minute drive). For your seaside strolls, a traffic-free path runs down to the sands of Cayton Bay beach – it’ll take you about 15 minutes to get down to the beach, a wide bay that welcomes dogs all year round and is popular with birdwatchers, fossil hunters and rockpoolers as well as those seeking coastal walks or days spent on the sand. And for your country ambles, a drive of 15 minutes or so gets you up to the outer edges of the North York Moors National Park – although you can get a decent enough taste of the local scenery with the rural views around the park itself if you're not in the mood to travel far. Handy bonuses for guests at this site are a farm shop and café pretty much next door, and a pub about 10 minutes’ walk away. Barbecues and campfires are permitted on site if you fancy using some of that farm shop produce for alfresco cookery. Firepits are available on site to help with outdoor food prep and keeping warm; other facilities on site include three hot showers, three toilets, a clean water tap and chemical waste disposal facilities.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely little site , was very quiet during our stay so plenty of space. Toilets and showers clean and tidy. Would live just a changing table for little ones but we managed just fine in the car. Very friendly owner and puppy, perfect for a short stop over and an amazing fry up at the farm shop too.

Disliked Nothing. Returned after a lovely trip last year and all was fine xx

Disliked Customer service form both the campsite and pitch up ! Yes I’m aware the mistake was mine ! The campsite wasn’t busy!!

1 bedroom camping pod (hot tub)

Liked The hot tub was amazing, I really enjoyed my time at the Paddock, Rebecca the owner was very helpful and friendly. It is in a lovely spot, views are amazing and it is just a short walk to the beach. There is also a lovely farm shop and a child friendly pub just a short walk from the paddock.

Disliked I feel like im being picky to find something i disliked. I went in February so the shower rooms and floor were quite cold but to be fair it was because of the time of year. It would have been a nice extra to have a toaster in the glamping pod as the farm shop had lovely bread and butter but I couldn't toast it.

1 bedroom camping pod (hot tub)

Liked We stayed at The Paddock Caravan and Camping in Lebberston from 14th–15th December and had a fantastic, relaxing break. This is a genuinely no-frills site, and that is exactly what makes it so great. It offers the kind of simple, down-to-earth experience that a weekend in the countryside should be — comfortable, peaceful and completely unpretentious.

We stayed in one of the cabins rather than a tent, and it was cosy, warm and private, which was perfect for a winter stay. Everything was spotlessly clean and well equipped, including a microwave, cutlery, plates and glasses. A particularly nice touch was the inclusion of plastic wine glasses for use in the hot tub.

The log-fired hot tub was a real highlight, with plenty of wood provided, so there was no stress about keeping it going. The fenced outdoor area was ideal for our dogs, allowing them to be outside safely without any risk of escaping. The site being dog-friendly overall was a huge plus for us.

This is not a large commercial site. It is small, friendly and personal, with welcoming staff who make you feel genuinely at home rather than processed. It is also excellent value for money, which made the stay even better. If you are looking for something polished, rigid or overly managed, this probably is not the place for you. However, if you appreciate a relaxed, authentic countryside stay done properly and without pretence, The Paddock is ideal.

The only thing that would have made it even better was ordering some winter sunshine instead of the wind — clearly the weather had other plans. A huge thank you to Rebecca for her kindness and excellent hospitality. All in all, it was fab, and we would happily return and thoroughly recommend it

Local attractions

This is a most handy spot for getting out to a couple of North Yorkshire’s most loved seaside towns, so plan for days at the beach and animal park in Filey or taking in the castle, Sea Life Centre and Alpamare waterpark in Scarborough (before hitting the beach again, of course). Both are around a 10-minute drive away. For another view on the coast, grab your binoculars and wander quietly to see what’s in residence at RSPB Bempton Cliffs seabird centre (20 minutes’ drive). Or for some days away from the shoreline, head out to meet the creatures at Playdale Farm Park (10 minutes), sample Yorkshire’s first single malt at Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery (15 minutes) or try out the inflatable course and all manner of watersports at North Yorkshire Water Park (20 minutes). Fancy leaving the car behind for the day? Stash the keys somewhere safe and set forth on foot for Cayton Bay beach, Scarborough Fair Collection & Vintage Transport Museum or a dip at Flower of May swimming pool – all are about 15 minutes away on foot.
