  • Quiet campsite in Irton village, 15 minutes’ drive from Scarborough
  • North Yorkshire Water Park 10 minutes’ drive; Filey 20 minutes
  • Adults-only site with basic facilities; pub five minutes’ drive
A lovely, quiet camping site situated in the rural village of Irton, just outside Scarborough, North Yorkshire. This is an established site under new ownership which is open most of the year and offers 20 grass pitches with electric hook ups. Toilet block with shower cubical, two drinking water points on the site. Well behaved dogs are welcome but must be kept on the lead as the site is based on Equestrian yard. Predominantly an adult only site but exceptions are made for historical families who have been visiting over the years.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: Small, quiet site with nice easy access from the road.

Disliked: It’s an equestrian centre so there are two gates that need to be opened and closed every time you enter and exit the site which, whilst hardly the end of the world, is a bit of a pest. Toilet/shower block is very basic.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: A small site set in beautiful countryside on the edge of a pretty Village. The setting is a family run working stable/school and livery. All you need is on hand, practical, basic and clean. Our host made us feel very welcome and we were treated to a tour of the stables with some horse petting. Good bridal walk along Goose Lane taking you to the village where provisions are available. Great value.

Disliked: Nothing

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: Location very quiet and peaceful. Perfect to travel into Scarborough and surrounding areas. Toilet and shower block simple in construction but clean and well kept - everything we needed for our stay. Waking up next to the field with horses in was lovely. Drinking water facilities close to pitches. Electric worked just fine. Owner very pleasant over phone on arrival. Small and adult only site. Allowed to choose our pitch. Pitches level. We enjoyed our stay here and we'll go back.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: Clean facilities, everything you could need on a campsite. Easy access, close to Scarborough and the rest of the North Yorkshire Coast. Quite and peaceful. Friendly owner!

Disliked: Pitches are on the smaller side, bare this in mind if you have a bigger tent.

Sara M. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: Fabulous little site at Irton, Scarborough. Great toilet/shower facilities. Well maintained, about 20 pitches and 2 pods. Well worth the price and as their notice says- don't expect the Ritz, it's a working progress. It's a working, equestrian site with beautiful horses to admire. Well located for local attractions. Really will use this site again cos it has everything you need for a good priced campsite. It's also adult only.

Disliked: Nothing, everything was good for the price 👍 Not sure if it had wifi as didn't use it.
