  • Pop-up North Yorkshire 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 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. Here you can wake to vibrant sunrises and cosy up on clear evenings to watch sunsets in the west. And there’s plenty more going for this peaceful site as well: walkers will perk up on hearing that it’s right on the Cleveland Way National Trail, surfers can catch waves at popular Cayton Bay (five minutes’ drive), and families can head for Go Ape or scenic biking trails in Dalby Forest (40 minutes). There’s also a farm shop 15 minutes’ walk away where you can get a decent coffee and homemade food. 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 though: Scarborough Sea View Camping is exposed. It can get very windy at times, so take care when erecting tents and ensure everything is well secured. Facilities are simple: there are chemical toilets and a water supply (although this comes directly from the mains, the site owners recommend that, for your safety, you use bottled water for drinking) – note that there are no showers on site. The access road is alongside a grass field, so please ensure that your vehicle is suitable for the terrain.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked I booked sea view camp site Scarborough for just one night to take my grandson camping, the site was exactly as described basic which I was aware of but toilets were very clean.
I have a problem walking and found it a bit difficult walking as the ground was pot holed and uneven.
But piece full and very handy for getting into Scarborough, my grandson loved it.
Cheap and cheerful, well marked out with spacious plots and simple booking.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked When we booked we wasn't sure what to expect, it said on a cliff but we didn't really think it would of been! When we drove onto the field we were amazed! We chose a great spot to tent up, the views are epic its just what we had hoped for. It was my 50th birthday and we had champagne under the stars. Brilliant. The toilets were very clean another plus. We loved that there was no light pollution and the fact it was as close to wild camping as you get. Pitches are big enough for what is needed plus the car. Massive thumbs up we will be back.

Disliked Only really the wind ha but thats not something that can be helped when storms are about! Really can't complain

Liked Sea View Camping – Cliffs between Filey & Scarborough

Sea View Camping is a gem of a site — perfectly simple, beautifully laid out, and in the most stunning location. Perched on the cliffs, it offers panoramic views of the sea that make every sunrise and sunset unforgettable.

Facilities are basic but exactly what you need: clean, well-kept portable toilets and plenty of space to feel comfortable. There’s a clear, easy path down to beach access about half a mile away, and the site itself feels wonderfully peaceful and scenic — a true escape from the everyday.

The host, Mark, deserves special mention. His communication was excellent — he reached out ahead of my original August booking to let me know about potential 45mph gusts and suggested I might want to reschedule. Thanks to his foresight and flexibility, I was able to move my stay to later in the month and avoid a couple of very stormy nights. I really appreciated his thoughtfulness and the effort to make sure guests have the best possible experience.

It’s also convenient without spoiling the tranquillity. There are small shops nearby for essentials, and Filey or Scarborough are just a short drive if you need bigger supplies.

I camped here with my dog and it was perfect — fresh sea air, great walks, and a relaxing atmosphere that left us both recharged.

If you’re looking for a back-to-basics campsite in a breathtaking setting, with everything thoughtfully in place but nothing unnecessary, Sea View Camping is spot on. Highly recommended!

Disliked Nothing about the site.... only that I could not stay longer this time!

Liked Amazing views . Clean facilities. Plenty of space and great location .not too close to the busy seaside towns so you can enjoy the peace and quiet but close enough to be able to enjoy the best of both worlds 🙂

Disliked Path to the site is very bumpy but its a field and is to be expected
And wind can be very strong no fault of the sites just a little warning 🤣
