What customers say
Spectacular sea views at this basic, off-grid site. Spacious pitches, close to Cayton Bay beach, with a peaceful vibe. Portaloos & water tap are clean. Rough access road, wind & flies can be an issue. Great for back-to-basics camping & stunning scenery.

Great sea views and big pitches
Unpowered grass motorhome site
Liked Second time I’ve been and it was brilliant again. A few more people this time but still plenty of room. The pitches are large so everyone can be comfortable. It was silent overnight, no one blasting music or anything. Great sea view and view over Cayton beach to Scarborough bay. Perfect place to drive, park up and get the doors open. One for the ‘regular’ list I think.
Disliked Nothing it’s a great place

From the manager: The site is located in a unique position on the coast and as such commercial refuse vehicles cannot access it.
We do mention this in the introductory e mail and again on the website.

Great pop up site with stunning views.
Unpowered grass motorhome site
Liked The stunning views and the location, Perfect. The website/owner explains everything perfectly. If you are after a campsite with loads of facilities look elsewhere. If you want a basic, peaceful site with awesome views and a nice walk to a lovely beach then this is it.
Portaloos are very clean. Pitches clearly marked and are huge.
I'll definitely be back and would recommend.

Disliked Just paying for a patch of grass in a field. Other than a chemical toilet there are no facilities!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: As far as we’re aware the site is described accurately on this platform and camping is usually on grass.
The site is off grid and as such has the views, location and atmosphere a commercial campsite can rarely offer.
Maybe an Air BnB property booking and a budget of more than £20 a night would be the way forward :-)
Obviously the view is a big…

Liked Obviously the view is a big factor.
A very quick walk to the beach from the campsite.
Disliked I disliked the fact that no drinking water exists here. Yes it made clear in the description.
My experience was let down by the neighbours that just decided to play music most of the night. Unfortunately it was near the only wind break.
The other neighbours didn't even pay to use the campsite. It feels like the price I paid was quite steep for what was available. It simply feels like the site is just a field for the land owner to have a provided passive income.
The gate and road leading up where basically just a field with tracks leading up. If you had a bicycle it's not really rideable.
I believe the price for what is given is a bit much l.
More campsites do exist.

From the manager: Thanks for the feedback.
There is a treated water supply to the site but we recommend bottled water for drinking as it’s a shared tap (only our recommendation).
We are available 24/7 on WhatsApp for any noisy neighbours so we would have sorted that for you.
Yes the site is off grid and the access road isn’t smooth but that is mentioned in the description of the site.
The area is in a unique position on the Yorkshire Coast with uninterrupted views miles in each direction.
That said that’s not for everyone and you’re right you have a choice.
Your comment on the land owner making an income from the land is pretty much how the economy works and as you know land amongst other things doesn’t come for free .. 🙂🙂
Great location…

Liked Beautiful and quiete spot overlooking Cayton Bay beach.
Clean and well taken care of. Good use of space, and not overcrowded.
There are also chemical toilets, which were clean as well.
