  • Off-grid camping on hilly grassland near Scarborough, North Yorkshire
  • A 10-minute drive to Filey and Cayton Bay; 20 minutes to Bridlington
  • Hillside or level pop-up camping pitches with showers and toilets
Looking for an off-grid adventure staying on a site with magnificent views of the Yorkshire coastline? Quarry Hill Campsite might be the right spot for you – it's set on nine acres of open grassland and hillside, and with many more acres on hand for you to explore. Yes, this family-run site is off grid but it does have a good clutch of facilities, including spotless separate showers and toilet in a hand-built wooden amenities shack (there are emergency sockets in there for charging devices, by the way), as well as a casual snack bar and alfresco bench seating (both weather dependent) by reception. Barbecues are allowed as long as the weather conditions are not too windy or dry. It's worth noting that the ground is not completely flat here, but the tradeoff for that hilly location is some excellent Yorkshire coastline views. From various points around the site, you can see Scarborough, Filey and Bridlington, as well as the surfing beach at Cayton Bay. Well-behaved dogs are welcome to share your North Yorkshire camping break here, and they're also allowed on Cayton Bay beach all year round. If you’re walking the Yorkshire Wolds Way and don’t have a car, buses to Bridlington and Filey are a short walk away.

What customers say

Stunning views, super clean facilities and welcoming owners a hit. Kids well catered for with play area and games tent. Cafe gets rave reviews for food and value. Peaceful vibe, good price, though some pitches are sloped with hard ground needing sturdy pegs. A top spot for a chill break.

Liked This was our second stay on Quarry Hill Campsite and it’s improved immensely without loosing any of its no-frills charm. Great to have the graded strips for camping on the flat, despite the hillside location and the views are to die for, as were the breakfasts from the food shack, which were perfect and so inexpensive.
Just a great stay which’ll probably warrant a 3rd visit in the future.

Disliked Nothing

Unpowered grass campervan or trailer tent site

Liked We had a very good induction and followed the quad bike up to the pitch. Facilities were clean and tidy. A quiet campsite although the road can become noisy. Not the owners fault though

Disliked Make sure park on the flat part or you slip down your bed.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked We liked everything..... great location, less than 10 minutes from the beach, lovely and welcoming hosts, the whole site is very, very clean, the pitches are well spaced out, beautiful view, great value for money, the snack bar is out of this world and its worth coming just for the this alone, games room if you fancy trying your hand at pool etc, we were able to take our dog who loved every minute. Thanks so much and can't wait to book again.

Disliked Having to leave ;0)

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Some games in the play tent helped to keep the kids occupied.
Nice views
Clean and tidy

Disliked The site is on a big hill so not great for getting around and limited level pitching space.
The bins were far away from where we were placed and not many around the site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi
Thank you for staying with us and your review, of Quarry Hill Campsite, we do state in our listing and our name that we are on a hillside and sorry that this is wasn’t noted on booking. We have 5 bins around the quarry which are emptied throughout the day we don’t have any to the far left but unfortunately cannot place any there but feel we have adequate refuse bins available. We also have 4 level tent box / camper pitches, and 26 other level pitches on a tier system which give fantastic views of the coastline which we hope you enjoyed. We are glad that you took advantage of the free games on site and hope you have a lovely summer.

Local attractions

Long-distance walkers, this is a clever overnight stop as the site has direct access to the Yorkshire Wolds Way, and there are bracing hikes along the headlands at Flamborough Head (half an hour’s drive). The North York Moors National Park (15 minutes) is also a hub for hiking and cycling, with many, many trails crossing the moorland. If you’re intent on exploring North Yorkshire’s beaches, you’re spoilt for choice. Dog-owners and surfers can make their way to canine-friendly and remote Cayton Bay (10 minutes’ drive), while Bridlington (20 minutes) has amusement arcades and is the departure point for high-speed boat trips along the coastline. Filey (10 minutes) is known for its quiet family-friendly beach as well as a bird garden, and Scarborough (20 minutes) has a sandy swathe backed by a castle and museums. Kids part of your holiday plans? Let them get up close to cuddle the alpacas and ponies at Playdale Farm Park (10 minutes), or challenge them to races on the inflatables at North Yorkshire Water Park (20 minutes). And if they’re playing up, you could always lose them (temporarily of course) in the seasonal maze at Great Ryedale (15 minutes).
