  • Quiet site on the north-east coast between Filey and Scarborough
  • A 15-minute walk from Cayton Bay beach via a traffic-free path
  • Farm shop and café next door; pub 10 minutes' walk away
Some visitors wax lyrical about North Yorkshire’s coastline, while others are rather fonder of its countryside… so it’s handy indeed that you can easily check out both aspects of the county’s scenery during a stay at The Paddock Campsite. This quiet, friendly site is just outside the village of Lebberston, on the coast between Filey and Scarborough (both of which are within a 10-minute drive). For your seaside strolls, a traffic-free path runs down to the sands of Cayton Bay beach – it’ll take you about 15 minutes to get down to the beach, a wide bay that welcomes dogs all year round and is popular with birdwatchers, fossil hunters and rockpoolers as well as those seeking coastal walks or days spent on the sand. And for your country ambles, a drive of 15 minutes or so gets you up to the outer edges of the North York Moors National Park – although you can get a decent enough taste of the local scenery with the rural views around the park itself if you're not in the mood to travel far. Handy bonuses for guests at this site are a farm shop and café pretty much next door, and a pub about 10 minutes’ walk away. Barbecues and campfires are permitted on site if you fancy using some of that farm shop produce for alfresco cookery. Firepits are available on site to help with outdoor food prep and keeping warm; other facilities on site include three hot showers, three toilets, a clean water tap and chemical waste disposal facilities.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Nice location. Near a great beach.

Disliked: Swarms of flies that seemed to only affect our pitch which was on the left by the entrance, so no sooner had we unpacked and set up the tent we packed and left because we weren’t being left alone. The next day we opened the car door to get some stuff out and there were loads of flies that had got in while we were packing away. It was awful. Was a great shame.

From the manager: Hi , I'm so sorry you experienced flies during your visit.At that time a lot of Farmers were working locally on nearby fields & yes it generated an unusal amount of flies in the afternoon, for that time of year.As you mention the location& scenery is great & theres lots to do, eg walks to the beach ,Cayton Bay 20mins , The Cleveland Way 10mins The Tow Bar pub 20mins walk ,Farmshop & Cafe on door step & 10mins walk to 24 hour Spa Grocery store & bus stop,to Scarb & Filey. We are also on the No1 cycle route so cyclist can cycle between Scarb & Filey on established cycle routes

Wouldn’t stay again

Liked: Location

Disliked: Everything else. Smelt bad, toilets and showers were horrific and unusable. Flies everywhere.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Sorry you were not happy with your stay .As you state the location is ideal for a short walk to Cayton Bay beach 15/20mins & only 2 miles to Filey & 10min walk to The Cleveland Way.The toilets are cleaned twice daily, more if necessary & are checked for cleanliness, stock,ie soap / loo roll etc, mornings afternoon & early evening.Local Farmers were harvesting in the area during September & yes sometimes we had flies as is often the case on the Yorkshire Coast.Theres no smells whatsoever emminating from my showerblock or wcs & all are fully serviced & useable for customers.

Great break, stunning views

Local attractions

This is a most handy spot for getting out to a couple of North Yorkshire’s most loved seaside towns, so plan for days at the beach and animal park in Filey or taking in the castle, Sea Life Centre and Alpamare waterpark in Scarborough (before hitting the beach again, of course). Both are around a 10-minute drive away. For another view on the coast, grab your binoculars and wander quietly to see what’s in residence at RSPB Bempton Cliffs seabird centre (20 minutes’ drive). Or for some days away from the shoreline, head out to meet the creatures at Playdale Farm Park (10 minutes), sample Yorkshire’s first single malt at Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery (15 minutes) or try out the inflatable course and all manner of watersports at North Yorkshire Water Park (20 minutes). Fancy leaving the car behind for the day? Stash the keys somewhere safe and set forth on foot for Cayton Bay beach, Scarborough Fair Collection & Vintage Transport Museum or a dip at Flower of May swimming pool – all are about 15 minutes away on foot.
