  • Grass pitches at a racing circuit a 10-minute drive from Scarborough
  • Filey Brigg 15 minutes’ drive; North Yorkshire Water Park 25 minutes
  • Dogs welcome; splendid views of the coast; nearby restaurant
Motorcycle racing and sandy beaches might sound like a fairly unusual combo, but you do get prime access to both at Oliver’s Mount. First of all, for the sporting enthusiasts among you: this green pop-up site is part of the road-racing circuit of the same name, a historic track that sees roaring action six weekends a year. It’s a top spot to catch some motorcycle races and car rallies. Having said that, away from those motorbike-focused weekends, the site is remarkably peaceful, and an excellent base from where to explore Scarborough and its seaside attractions (10 minutes’ drive) and the coast of North Yorkshire. On site are level grassy fields for your tent or motorhome, with heaps of space for children to run around and play, plus woodland walks that ought to make your dog’s tail wag with delight. Not forgetting the pretty epic views of the coastline from this elevated plateau… From a practical point of view, there are two toilet blocks, showers and a washing-up area. Water is available too, as are chemical disposal facilities. Barbecues are allowed, and the nearest shop is a five-minute drive away. But why cook when you can be cooked for? There’s a café/restaurant within walking distance (about 10 minutes), and you get spectacular views over Scarborough South Bay with your breakfasts, burgers or locally sourced fish.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Nice and quite friendly

Disliked I would refer electric hookup

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi, glad you had a nice stay. Due to the size of our site and being a pop up campsite to compliment the racing it would be very expensive to put electric hookup in. We do keep evaluating the situation.

It was a great place to go and would definitely go again.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked Great place out away from traffic with a beautiful view on the way. Lots of toilets and plenty of space for everyone. Also it was great to have somewhere to clean our pots.

Disliked Unfortunately we were woken up at around midnight by a very loud group blasting music which did spoilt it for us. Also more than one shower would be great.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi, thank you for the review. There is a shower trailer as well with extra showers in to compliment the toilet blocks and sorry about the group, we had words with them. We are family friendly site and don't tolerate late noise.

The scenary and facilties were brilliant.…

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked You could set up where you wanted, the facilities were basic but clean with plenty of hot water and it was only a 10 minutes drive into Scarborough. Also the 12.00 pack up time was great

Disliked As there was no racing that weekend I was expecting it to be fairly quiet but it was very noisy on the Saturday afternoon with motorbike engines roaring I don't know weather it was practice laps or what it was the same on the Monday evening and only stopped as it started to rain and was going dark

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: The set up where you like means you can either be by yourselves or with a group of friends. We all know it takes a while to pack up so the 12.00 makes life easier.

The race track is normal road when we don't have events on and the bikes had nothing to do with us. If we have an event on we either close the pop up campsite or it is well advertised. Unfortunately we have no control who uses the road.

Very good, spacious, quiet, picturesque…

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked Nice and unique place

Disliked Just wrong time and day for us…

Someone throw up in toilet and did not clean up, maybe be useful leave mopping or something there for clean up…

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I'm sorry about the situation in the toilet, did you contact the caretaker (phone number on the confirmation email) to let him know? He checks them on a regular basis and would have come out to deal with it straightaway.

Friendly but basic.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked We were able to choose our own pitch, and our friend was able to pitch beside us. There were picnic tables around for our use.

Disliked There was rather a lot of rubbish around the edges of the camping field. It was also very confusing finding the actual campsite as it was entered on a road marked not for public use and which turned into a race track.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed choosing your pitch enabling you to be next to your friend and having the picnic tables available. We do send detailed directions by email ahead of arrival, with a map and the site itself is well signposted. Being the top of the Oliver's Mount if the wind picks up then rubbish may land against the fencing. Our caretaker goes around tidying the area up but we will get him to be more observant so thank you for pointing it out to us.

Will be coming back next summer hopefully with a car & dog next time.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great clean and tidy campsite, lovely scenery. Clean toilets with hot water, drinking water available onsite. Easy to get a local taxi and Ubereats if you need it. Great price. Family of 5 camping with a tent for the first time for 2 nights.

Disliked We don't have a car, so it was a bit of a walk to find the bus stop to get to the beach but if you have a car then this campsite will be perfect for you.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the nice pictures, rating and review. Glad you had a lovely stay

Local attractions

Scarborough’s two sandy beaches (South Bay and North Bay) are separated by a headland topped by the ruins of a medieval castle. At the back of North Bay, the Scarborough Open Air Theatre puts on live music by big international names, and there are more events at the elegant Scarborough Spa, built in the late 19th century. Residents at Filey Bird Garden and Animal Park (10 minutes’ drive) include meerkats, lemurs and alpacas, plus friendly farmyard animals that enjoy being fed (please only use the site-approved feed bags, though). From there, drive a further five minutes to Filey Brigg Cliffs, where you might spot puffins flying overhead. Keen to have a go at paddleboarding or kayaking, but nervous to do it in open water? Head to North Yorkshire Water Park (25 minutes), where you can try these (and other) watersports, or just bounce, slide and splash around the inflatable adventure course.
