The campsite

  • Small adults-only site in rural North Yorkshire
  • A five-minute drive from Ravenscar; Scarborough 15 minutes
  • Just off the Cinder Track; access to car-free trails; honesty shop
Whitby or Scarborough? Scarborough or Whitby? At Valley View Camping, kiss that age-old dilemma goodbye and settle down somewhere with easy access to both of North Yorkshire's most popular seaside resorts. Driving to either is a breeze – Scarborough is 15 minutes away by road, while you can reach Whitby in about 20. But there are rewards for travelling under your own steam too – the site is a few minutes' walk from the Cinder Track, a traffic-free bike and walking trail that connects up Yorkshire's seaside capitals, passing through lots of scenic spots that you might otherwise miss. Valley View Camping's level grounds are small in scale and overlook peaceful open countryside. It's an adults-only setup too, so the place should stay nice and peaceful while you relax, perhaps settling in for drinks and meals on the picnic tables provided (you're welcome to bring along a barbecue to create those meals if you like). Other facilities on site include an honesty shop, showers, toilets and chemical disposal. In need of village amenities? Here you're a five-minute drive from Ravenscar's tea rooms, public toilets and stony beach. The nearest farm shop is three miles to the south in Cloughton Newlands. When you arrive, just park up and pick your pitch (with any awnings to the right, please).

René S.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Wow.. what to start with?

First things first - please bare with me as I'm not an English native speaker.

- Most important: SO clean and tidy

- Absolutely fantastic view, especially from pitches with view onto the sea

- Little honesty shop with important (and not so important but lovely to have: sweets, candy :) ) things you frequently use and need


Everything you need but without things not needed:

- Newly built, in sufficient amount, VERY tidy and well equipped toilets which are cleaned daily and due to adults only site usually in pretty good conditions all over the day (hint: that's not to prejudge ALL children and more often it's a problem with people not educating their seedlings properly but nevertheless it IS a problem we unfortunately experienced a lot in the last years...)

- Also newly built, tidy as well, and spacious showers which are also cleaned daily

- Small shop with kindling and (small) log wood for campfires in suitable containers (to bring with you), some well chosen specialties and basic food, sweets, chocolate bars, drinks, crisps, popcorn, and so on and payable via PayPal or SumUp or cash. Well done, peeps!!

- Spacious pitches, grass or hard-standing, with and without electric hookup

- No need for a site manager who's sitting around all day long. Everything works and doesn't have to be explained. Where necessary, you'll find small signs helping you in finding your way around


Long story short: we LOVED this lovely place and all in all we clearly and without exaggerating have to say that this experience on this jewel of a campsite was by far the very best in three years of yearly several weeks of camping with a camper van!

Disliked There is without kidding really literally nothing, not a single aspect we could complain about. Even weather was a pure dream ;)

If searching for something to put in here: some guys left tent pegs in the grass which we pulled out to prevent damage and harms. Watch out for them to avoid flat tyre.
But of course that's nothing to blame the campsite or the operator of the site for :)

Non-electric hardstanding and grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Quiet little site with access to walks without getting in the van. Clean facilities. Microwave was a bonus. Didn't matter that it was full. Didn't meet the owners but there were signs and everything was clear so there was no need. Had a sea view from our van window. It was perfect for our dogs.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Everything, this is a perfect little gem of a place. The location, the views, it was all just heaven. The owners were lovely, we had a lovely,but lonnnnng walk along the cinder track,stopped off at the Hayburn Inn, it would have been rude to walk past without trying a pint and lunch,well worth the walk. The whole campsite was spotless clean,from the pitches to the pot wash room and toilets and showers. Loved our stay and booked for the weekend again end of the month.

Disliked Nothing to dislike. Apart from having to leave. See you again 🥰☺️.

Local attractions

Keeping to the coast, you might like to start by sampling the amusements, bars and restaurants that line Scarborough's North and South bays (15 minutes' drive) before moving on to spectacular Whitby Abbey (20 minutes) for clifftop panoramas over the North Sea. Lots of other splendid seaside spots are close by too, including fantastic former fishing villages like Robin Hood's Bay (20 minutes) and Staithes (40 minutes) or the birdwatching hub of RSPB Bempton Cliffs (45 minutes). There's also a number of attractive freshwater spots in the area, with waterfalls on show at Hayburn Wyke (five minutes) or around the North York Moors village of Goathland (30 minutes). For anglers, Scaling Dam Reservoir (35 minutes) is on hand for fishing, while walkers have the green surrounds of Forge Valley Woods (30 minutes) for scenic strolls along the river Derwent.
