  • 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.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Outstanding views and just a short drive to scarborough

Disliked The site shows a map that indicates a toilet block, this isnt the case there is plenty of portaloos but not really anywhere to wash/freshen up

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback.

This is a ‘pop up off grid site’ and as a result has outstanding views and is in a great location, it does make reference to that on the pitch up… (which is the site you used to make the booking).

There is a water supply and well maintained portaloos.

We’ll change the wording of ‘toilet block’ which will hopefully make it clearer.

Stayed at the pop up site…

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked A perfect back-to-basics escape with peace, quiet, and a fantastic location. We loved the walk down to The Salty Dog for breakfast by the beach ⛱️. The communication from the owners was excellent throughout our stay and the site was spotless despite the fact there are no bins 👌.

On our departure day, we asked whether it might be possible to stay a little longer so we could spend the day in Scarborough centre. We even offered to pay extra for a late check-out, but this was met with genuine kindness and understanding, with no additional charge. I imagine this wouldn’t always be possible during peak summer season or when the site is fully booked, which made the gesture feel even more appreciated. Their relaxed, fair approach really added to the overall experience, and we were grateful they didn’t take advantage by charging a premium. We will definitely be back, thanks for having us!

Disliked Porta loo's but nobody enjoys using a porta loo! They were relatively clean and fully stocked with toilet roll and hand sanitizer so can't complain 😉.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Great views, large pitches, clean toilets. Simple site but ideal for us. Lovely walk to beach or short drive to Scarborough

Disliked Most users were friendly and respectful but one group left a pile of rubbish which they had tried to set alight and another group were shining a laser at cars in the night.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Views amazing, price reasonable, good WhatsApp detailed message from owners on day of arrival. Stunning beach and not too busy. Pitches huge!!
We will definitely be back!

Disliked Didn’t dislike anything but do get a bug zapper as it’s the country so there are lots of flies, the hill to the beach is steep but manageable. There are no showers and just portaloos but this was highlighted very well before booking and brought our own kit which fitted easily on our pitch.

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.
