What customers say
This campsite boasts spectacular ocean views & a peaceful, spacious setting, with easy access to Cayton Bay beach. Great location for exploring, with good value for solo travelers. However, limited portaloos & no showers were common concerns. Some noted windiness & no on-site drinkable water. Many want to return.

Our new best campsite
Primitive grass RV campsite
Liked Perfect spot with great views. Had major fly issue first night but the owner popped over with some fly spray to help out.
Disliked We arrived on a Saturday afternoon. Extremely busy. Needs policing as not everyone stayed within their very large boundaries and found it difficult to find a space for ourselves. By next night we were able to move as a lot of people had left.

Fab site. Easy digital check in. Hosts were v friendly. Recommended.
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The view is unbelievable. So gorgeous. Simple site which is what I like (there are simple cold showers outside the surf shack at the beach) but fab location near the beach and to access the local area and towns and stunning setting on the cliff top
Disliked We did appreciate there being some portaloos - def better than nothing! - and at best they’re always going to be slightly nasty and tricky to keep clean etc but two out of three were full to the top when we left so hope they were getting emptied soon for incoming campers 😅☺️

Beautiful views and great location for Cayton Bay, with a good farm…
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Beautiful views and great location for Cayton Bay, with a good farm shop a short walk away. Lots of space and well maintained.
Disliked Only 3 portaloos for the whole campsite, a few more would of been good, however they were clean and checked regularly.

Nice views, toilets not great
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The view was fab and it's a short walk down to the beach.
Disliked There were a lot of pitches and only 3 porter loos, 1 ended up out of order so only 2 in the end. It's just a pop up campsite so we knew it was limited facilities but it needs more toilets. We've stayed in a few of these pop up sites now but they've all been much better equipped than this one. There's also no drinking water on site so we had to buy bottled from the shop beforehand.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: The water is direct from the mains however our priority is to ensure customers safety, therefore we recommend bottled drinking water.
We comply with HSE recommendations regarding the number of toilets.
On this occasion one became faulty, the supplier has been informed and booked for a repair.
Would return. Views awesome
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Lovely site with great views, particularly at sunset. Flat, spacious, quiet, no fuss. Super location for travel to different beaches. Some may dislike lack of showers and bins but it’s clearly noted and easily dealt with. Especially when you see a deer and rabbits first morning

Basic site with great views
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Great views, quiet location and a scenic walk to the beach. Communications from owners was handy in providing information to check in and how to find the site
Disliked We were under the impression pitches were clearly marked with orange sticks. We returned from a day out to find a camper van parked directly behind us despite pitches being available lower down the field. Only 3 toilets available and one was out of order for the majority of the weekend. 2 toilets wasn't enough for the number of people there.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked I liked the location as I have been to a campsite near by before. I walked to Scarborough and Filey from this camp site. As I have done these walks before. The closest pub was nice and had great food.
It's cheap when you a solo traveller but don't expect much.
Disliked The site page didn't mention that the water was not drinkable. Lucky I took water with me. This site was extreamly windy. 29mph at one point. Only 3 toilets all in 1 spot. Could have done with splitting them up and getting more. Cant be helped but campers going in and out banging the doors was a pain. The grass could have been cut better as some areas were sharp and put a hole in my tent. Not happy as its a new one and I was trialing it.

Re-locating toilets over a wider area - we will look at that.
Having spectacular and elevated views does carry the risk of wind.
Usually a good idea to check the forecast beforehand.
Lovely view, peaceful site, great communication.…
