  • 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.

Bell tent (basic)

Liked Absolutely Fantastic Campsite!
We had an amazing stay here! The location is excellent—beautiful surroundings and so much space to relax and enjoy nature. The facilities were perfect: spotless, well-maintained, and regularly cleaned throughout the day.

The owners are fantastic—friendly, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We stayed in one of the bell tents, which was both spacious and very reasonably priced—great value for money!

The on-site food was a real highlight too. The pizzas, pancakes, and waffles were all absolutely delicious. You can tell a lot of care goes into everything they do here.

An amazing find—we're already planning our next visit. Highly recommended!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Arrived on Friday afternoon for a two night stay , we were greeted by the owners who were very friendly and welcoming . We were shown where we could pitch our tent which was a spacious field with two flat terraces . The toilets , showers and washing up area were immaculately clean with plenty of very hot water . The site is so peaceful with amazing views . We will definitely be returning to this site and would highly recommend 5*

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).
