  • Well-maintained glamping park close to the East Yorkshire coast
  • Near the A165; 10 minutes' drive to Bridlington and 25 to Scarborough
  • Smart, well-insulated pods with kitchen kit and campfire area
Channel your inner Viking and run rampant along the north-east coast at this family-run site in East Yorkshire. Set in pleasing green surrounds, the fab accommodation at Viking Garth Hideaways is close to both established seaside spots like Bridlington or Scarborough and the wilder cliffs and coves of the Flamborough Headland Heritage Coast. Pods are spread over tree-lined grounds, with plenty of picnic tables about where you can admire the view or tuck into an alfresco meal (or both…). Campfires are also welcome in the designated areas – wood and charcoal can be picked up in Bridlington (10 minutes' drive), along with other holiday essentials. Finished off in natural wood, Viking Garth Hideaways' all-weather accommodation is easy on the eye both inside and out. This eco-conscious spot has also kitted out all of its pods with double glazing and insulation (heating is on hand for those cooler nights). The smart interiors are mightily functional too, coming with a microwave, fridge, crockery, cutlery, a TV and a DVD player. If and when you manage to pull yourself away from these snug surrounds, start your explores with jaunts to seaside villages like Bempton (five minutes' drive), which has a village pub, a railway station and other handy amenities. Want a day off from driving? A local bus stops a few minutes' walk away from the site entrance.

What customers say

Peaceful glamping pods, well-kept and clean, with comfy beds and good showers. Great location for Bempton Cliffs and coast. Kids loved the play area. Fire pit a bonus! Mobile signal okay, but limited TV/Wi-Fi. A few minor cleaning points, but overall a fantastic stay.

Camping pod

Liked Loved the setting and little touches. Having its own shower and toilet was good. Loved the fire pit outside, it’s something that a lot of other places don’t allow anymore. We will be back for sure

Disliked Not sure I could pick anything I disliked without being over critical

Camping pod

Liked Everything. This is our favourite glamping site and the pods are just incredible. It is so clean and all the necessary facilities you could ask for. Best few nights sleep my fiancé and I have had in a long time! (We’ve stayed before and it was exactly the same experience). The grounds are well maintained and easy to get to, parking was easy. Loved the little touches like a pint of milk waiting in the fridge for our arrival cups of tea! Shower pressure is fantastic and the heating system is easy to use for when it got chilly on an evening. I accidentally smashed a glass and the site owner was so lovely and understanding about it. The lack of WiFi was not an issue at all as 5G was available. Thanks again Sara, we will absolutely be returning! Lynne & Dieter

Disliked Nothing!

Local attractions

Wrap up warm against the wind and head to RSPB Bempton Cliffs Seabird Centre (10 minutes' drive), a high-up spot with spectacular coastal panoramas and where, from March to October, you can watch around half a million birds tending to their young on the cliff face. For swim-friendly spots, meanwhile, make for one of the several beaches around Bridlington (10 minutes) or check out Scarborough's sandy seafront (25 minutes). Also within easy reach, the former fishing village of Filey (10 minutes) has a great seaside golf club, an animal park and plenty of fish and chip shops to take advantage of. After dawdling here for a while, the sweet selection of attractions on offer in Sewerby (15 minutes) may very well catch your eye – Sewerby Hall and Gardens and Sewerby Zoo are the two must-sees, but an entertaining couple of hours can also be had at Bondville Model Village or Danes Dyke beach. Heading inland, the North York Moors National Park (30 minutes) has hundreds of acres of heather-covered heathland to explore and ace forest trails to tread. Bit more adrenaline needed? Then get yourself to Flamingo Land Resort (45 minutes), a popular local theme park.
