  • North Yorkshire pop-up 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 pop-up 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.   You can wake to vibrant sunrises and cosy up on clear evenings to watch sunsets in the west. And there’s more going for this peaceful site as well: it’s on the Cleveland Way National Trail, five minutes’ drive from a beach and 40 minutes from biking and hiking in Dalby Forest. There’s also a farm shop 15 minutes’ walk away, where you can get a decent coffee and homemade food (and a discount as a site guest). 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: Scarborough Sea View Camping is exposed. It gets very windy at times, so take care when erecting tents and ensure everything is well secured. Facilities are simple: a chemical disposal point and a water supply (although this comes directly from the mains, the site owners recommend that you use bottled water for drinking for your safety), but there are no toilets or 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

A well-kept, no-frills campsite with amazing cliff views and spacious sites. Easy beach access, peaceful vibe, and good value. Basic but clean portaloos and water. Can be windy and access road is rough, but worth it for the location. Perfect for a quiet, back-to-basics getaway.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked The views and a great walk down to the beach

Disliked Entrance road was a stony narrow road. Pitches although quite big just didn't work because everyone pitched wherever they wanted to

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Yes it’s a unique off grid site - as described in pitch up.

There are two access roads one stone and one grass. Neither are particularly smooth 🙂

If you like off grid, outstanding location and views then it works.

It’s definitely not an electric hook type of site .. 🤩

Definitely we would come again

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked What a Amazing view! We had a wonderful camping there. It was easy to walk to cayton bay and quite and family friendly campsite.

Disliked I couldn't find the main water tap because some big caravans parked right in front of the tap. It is about middle of the field. Toilets were every 10m so it was easy

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great location, with only a short walk down to the beach, or a pub. Stunning sea views. I would get there close to the check in time to get the best views but even if you have to be the opposite side you will have a great countryside view. not much more to say about pitches in a field. Portaloo's are never ideal but as they go these were clean which I think is all you can ask for.

Liked Brilliant place the view was stunning amenities were great the portaloos clean and well maintained

Disliked Nothing we disliked although a couple of people made mistakes with where they parked - the person who told them they were wrong waited till they were set up before telling them even though he was there it would have been nice if they had been told earlier and the person needed to mention he was staff as one couple had no idea who he was but other than that its perfect

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked Stunning camping spot. Very chilled and lots of space. Short walk down to the beautiful Cayton Bay. The Cleveland way takes you the 4 mile walk to Scarborough or Filey a similar distance the opposite way from the campsite. 6 Portaloos all kept clean and stocked.

Disliked Nothing

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The views, the generous pitches, grateful for the location instructions and honesty of what the site actually offers so there are no surprises. We chose to take the van instead of the car and were glad we did…my little Hyundai i10 would’ve struggled with the access road.
Anyone who likes camping/motor home or a tent box should seriously consider this for events at Scarborough Open Air. Buses from Cayton Bay Holiday Park run regularly and a taxi back only £22.
Our go to now for gigs during their open season.

Disliked Plentiful supply of toilet paper and handwashing gel but one of the toilets we avoided as someone had struggled to dispose of something. Not a biggy as plenty more were available.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Beautiful view over the bay to Scarborough, brilliant for sunsets. Close to the beach, and not far into Scarborough to access shops for food supplies, which was needed daily due to the hot weather.

Disliked Not a dislike, but worth nothing there is only portaloos for toilets, no access to water so bring your own, and now shower facilities. This does not bother me, but worth noting if you require this. Loos were immaculate.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you - much appreciated 🙏 🙂

We do have a treated water supply on site but as it’s a shared tap we recommend bottled water .. 🙂

Local attractions

Walkers will perk up when they hear that the site is right on the Cleveland Way National Trail, while energetic surfers can catch waves at popular Cayton Bay (five minutes’ drive). Outdoorsy families can head for Go Ape or follow scenic biking and walking trails in Dalby Forest (40 minutes), and if the weather turns against you, there’s an indoor pool at Alpamare UK swimming complex (15 minutes). Scarborough (15 minutes) has lots to offer families: a clifftop castle to explore, mini-train rides down the promenade, boat cruises to look for dolphins, and a choice of sandy beaches backed by amusement arcades. There are cheeky penguin antics to laugh over at Sea Life Scarborough aquarium (20 minutes), which also has Yorkshire’s only seal hospital. If you prefer your days at the Yorkshire seaside with fewer crowds, head for Filey Brigg (10 minutes), where you can get the kids searching for fossils or exercising the dog along a nigh-deserted beach. Humanby Gap (15 minutes) is another quiet dog-friendly option, with stunning North Sea views from the clifftop path.
