The campsite

  • Small adults-only site in rural North Yorkshire
  • A five-minute drive from Ravenscar; Scarborough 15 minutes
  • Just off the Cinder Track; access to car-free trails; honesty shop
Whitby or Scarborough? Scarborough or Whitby? At Valley View Camping, kiss that age-old dilemma goodbye and settle down somewhere with easy access to both of North Yorkshire's most popular seaside resorts. Driving to either is a breeze – Scarborough is 15 minutes away by road, while you can reach Whitby in about 20. But there are rewards for travelling under your own steam too – the site is a few minutes' walk from the Cinder Track, a traffic-free bike and walking trail that connects up Yorkshire's seaside capitals, passing through lots of scenic spots that you might otherwise miss. Valley View Camping's level grounds are small in scale and overlook peaceful open countryside. It's an adults-only setup too, so the place should stay nice and peaceful while you relax, perhaps settling in for drinks and meals on the picnic tables provided (you're welcome to bring along a barbecue to create those meals if you like). Other facilities on site include an honesty shop, showers, toilets and chemical disposal. In need of village amenities? Here you're a five-minute drive from Ravenscar's tea rooms, public toilets and stony beach. The nearest farm shop is three miles to the south in Cloughton Newlands. When you arrive, just park up and pick your pitch (with any awnings to the right, please).

What customers say

Peaceful adults-only rural escape with stunning views and Cinder Track access. Immaculate facilities & helpful kitchen. Minor pitch unevenness, but well-kept with a relaxing vibe. Great for exploring the North Yorkshire coast.

Jane H.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked The peaceful location
The excellent new toilet and shower facilities
The little kitchen area with kettle, fridge/ freezer and microwave
The view and access to cinder track and coast path
The location, away from the noise and bustle of Whitby and Scarborough. Within cycling distance of both on the Cinder Track

Disliked The plots are close together so if you have noisy neighbours who want to stay up late talking and laughing it's hard to get to sleep. Bring ear plugs just in case.

From the manager: Hi.
Thank you for your review & we are glad you enjoyed your stay with us.
We do have a period of quiet between 11pm & 7am - this is normally very well respected.
It seems like we had one couple this weekend not respecting this - Had we been made aware we would have resolved this as, we pride ourselves on being peaceful here at Valley View.
Again, I’m glad you enjoyed your stay with us & thank you for taking the time to review us. All feedback is greatly received.
Thanks.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Well designated pitches...pick your own.
Beautiful countryside
Clean toilets and showers
Good value for money
Adult only site...was mostly couples

Disliked Showers and toilets lacking some privacy as wall doesn't go all the way up to the ceiling.
A dog was barking for a long time in the morning...appeared to be tied up or kept in a farm building...not a cancer's dog.
Electric hook up always handy but we knew there was none before we came.
Not much communication before arrival

From the manager: Hi.
We are sorry about the dog barking, unfortunately it was a neighbour’s farm dog that we had found and that was the only building we could put her in to keep her safe till she could be collected. We apologise for the inconvenience it caused.
So we did the shower walls this way to help with ventilation. They are 7ft high & are made taller than most normal campsite/public cubicles to help with privacy.
We thank you for coming and taking the time to leave us a review, all feedback is appreciated.
Thanks again.

Liked Amazing place. The dog walk trails are perfect. The facilities are more than enough. Animals everywhere, loved every minute of being there.

Disliked There was a very annoying Scottish couple up until 1am playing music and then decided to throw up.

Brad P.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Great little spot for walking on Cleveland Way or Cinder Track. Huge, clean, warm shower facilities and good sized toilets that were always clean. Handy pot wash room, too. The pitches are well spaced out so it doesn't feel too crowded and we loved the honesty shop (particularly when we forgot ketchup for our bacon sarnies!). The honesty shop has some local produce too such as cheeses, cakes and pork pies. Didn't see or meet the owners but they were good responding to emails. A really peaceful little place with the farms surrounding it - will definitely be back in the future.

PS - also loved the tortoiseshell cat!

Liked Very clean facilities and a wonderful quiet site. Staff were welcoming and friendly and the on site shop was well stocked (don't forget to take cash!). Ravenscar Hotel is a short 20 minutes along the Cinder Track if you want a refreshing drink with amazing views. Would definitely stay again.

Liked Had a warm welcome, great walking along the old railway track. Had everything you possibly need on site.

Disliked The only downside was, had noisy neighbours on the Friday night, where very loud, well past midnight.

Local attractions

Keeping to the coast, you might like to start by sampling the amusements, bars and restaurants that line Scarborough's North and South bays (15 minutes' drive) before moving on to spectacular Whitby Abbey (20 minutes) for clifftop panoramas over the North Sea. Lots of other splendid seaside spots are close by too, including fantastic former fishing villages like Robin Hood's Bay (20 minutes) and Staithes (40 minutes) or the birdwatching hub of RSPB Bempton Cliffs (45 minutes). There's also a number of attractive freshwater spots in the area, with waterfalls on show at Hayburn Wyke (five minutes) or around the North York Moors village of Goathland (30 minutes). For anglers, Scaling Dam Reservoir (35 minutes) is on hand for fishing, while walkers have the green surrounds of Forge Valley Woods (30 minutes) for scenic strolls along the river Derwent.
