What customers say
Highly recommended, quiet, adult-only site at an equestrian center. Guests love the friendly owners, clean facilities, and peaceful vibe with horses. Great for exploring. Basic but functional amenities offer good value. Can get muddy in wet weather.

This is a fantastic little campsite and we have stayed here twice…
Camping pod
Liked This is a fantastic little campsite and we have stayed here twice now and definitely will again! It’s in a little village just outside Scarborough but also near to Filey etc. there is also a good pub in walking distance . The actual campsite is so peaceful we stayed here Easter 2025 and also in the summer 2025 (you wouldn’t have thought it was school holidays as super quiet!) . We have stayed in the camping pod both times. The pods are well equipped with kettle, toaster, microwave and good heating too. You also have your own patio with a table and chairs. Although you have to bring your own bedding the mattresses in the pods are very comfy. The communal showers and toilets are very clean. For the price we can’t knock it and have enjoyed both times we have stayed, will defo be back!

Liked If you want peace and quiet then this is the site for you. The only noise your hear is the horses and birds.
