  • 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.

What customers say

Awesome sea views over Cayton Bay/Scarborough from this tidy, no-frills spot. Campers loved the big sites, chill vibes, and easy communication. Clean loos and handy access to the Cleveland Way/beach were big pluses. It can be breezy on the cliff, but it's a great getaway many want to repeat.

Liked This was a very last minute booking while visiting Scarborough, it was very easy to book online and could arrive at the pitch late which was brilliant as this wasn’t booked until after 10pm, woke up to beautiful scenery, we did get a little lost due to not having the “what3words” app but once I spoke to someone on the phone for directions they were very helpful on directing me, beautiful place and very quiet will definitely be staying again

Recommend to friends Visit again

Will definitely be back to this little beauty.

Vicky B.

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked The views are amazing, you can use a fire, and there is plenty of room, with adequate portable toilets. Easy access to Cayton bay. You have options of walking to Scarborough along the cliffs or you can just as easy get to Filey. Nice walk to the local pub that serves food. Good communication on directions and all you need to know about the area.. Easy check in.
You do get pre warned about the flies, but we were well equipped to deal with that, its a farm you get it.

Disliked The price may be a little expensive for off grid, but the views make up for it.

Liked Location. The view from every pitch is stunning. The beach is accessed via a short walk from the campsite field. Very level pitches.
There are 2 chemical toilets and one water tap, so extremely basic, but the view and location is what you come here for, not the facilities. Definitely worth the trade off.

Disliked The self check in is great, but there is a slight downfall. No-one is allocated a pitch and number. We pitched our Motorhome and a few hours later went out for dinner. We left markers and belongings on the pitch to show it was taken. When we returned our pitch was occupied by a tent that took up 2 pitches. Not a huge problem, we just collected our things and moved to another part of the field, but we’d have preferred to have been with our belongings on the original pitch. That said, it wouldn’t stop us going back. The views are amazing.

Liked The view is stunning, the toilets are clean, it’s away from the hustle and bustle, the weather turned during our stay and the owner has offered a credit on the night that we didn’t stay there due to the high winds, which I thought was absolutely amazing, thank you,
