Scarborough Bay - Sea View Camping, a clifftop retreat on the North Yorkshire coast.
Pitch up where you wish on this spacious 5 acre site.
All the pitches face the coast so you can have spectacular views over the sea, in this case the North Sea to Scarborough (15 minutes’ drive), giving you a front-row seat on one of England’s most spectacular coastlines.
Here you can wake to vibrant sunrises and on clear evenings to watch sunsets in the west.
There’s plenty more going for this peaceful site as well: walkers will perk up on hearing that it’s right on the Cleveland Way National Trail, surfers can catch waves at popular Cayton Bay (five minutes’ drive), and families can head for Go Ape or scenic biking trails in Dalby Forest (40 minutes). There’s also a farm shop 15 minutes’ walk away where you can get a decent coffee and homemade food.
There’s plenty of room so you’re free to pitch up where you wish. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, and barbecues or firepits are allowed as long as they’re raised off the ground to protect the grass.
The camping area is exposed and can get windy at times, so take care when erecting tents and ensure everything is well secured.
Facilities are simple: chemical toilets and a water supply. The water supply is from the mains but we recommend bottled water for drinking to be safe.
There are no showers on site. Solar showers can be bought on-line for about £10. The access road is alongside a grass field, so please ensure that your vehicle is suitable for the terrain.
Local attractions and activities include:
- Cleveland Way National Trail (direct access from the site)
- Cayton Bay (surfing): five minutes’ drive
- Filey Brigg (walking and fossil hunting): 10 minutes
- Scarborough (castle and beach): 15 minutes
- Alpamare UK (indoor/outdoor pools): 15 minutes
- Hunmanby Gap (quiet beach): 15 minutes
- Sea Life Scarborough (aquarium): 20 minutes
- Dalby Forest (walking and Go Ape): 40 minutes.

Channel your inner Viking and run rampant along the north-east coast at this family-run site in East Yorkshire. Set in pleasing green surroundings, the fab accommodation at Viking Garth Hideaways is close to both established seaside spots like Bridlington or Scarborough and the wilder cliffs and coves of the Flamborough Headland Heritage Coast.
Pods are spread over tree-lined grounds, with plenty of picnic tables about where you can admire the view or tuck into an alfresco meal (or both…). Campfires are also welcome in the designated areas – wood and charcoal can be picked up in Bridlington (10 minutes' drive), along with other holiday essentials.
Finished off in natural wood, Viking Garth Hideaways' all-weather accommodation is easy on the eye both inside and out. This eco-conscious spot has also kitted out all of its pods with double glazing and insulation (heating is on hand for those cooler nights). The smart interiors are mightily functional too, coming with a microwave, fridge, crockery, cutlery, a TV, and a DVD player.
If and when you manage to pull yourself away from these snug surrounds, start your explorations with jaunts to seaside villages like Bempton (five minutes' drive), which has a village pub, a railway station, and other handy amenities. Want a day off from driving? A local bus stops a few minutes' walk away from the site entrance.

Scarborough, England · 4 units
With a private valley, formed in the last ice age, acres of land and woodland to explore, our farm has a very special feeling which has been mentioned by every visitor. Occupied by some beautiful wildlife, including buzzards and owls, deer, badgers and foxes.
The Wagons have a grass roof, firepits, sleep 4 (in double bunk format), they are hand-made from reclaimed materials salvaged from the local town and other areas, double skinned and insulated with sheeps wool. They have a 2-ring gas-burner in the cute kitchen area, dining table and seating, and are the perfect home away from home.
All the decor is vintage, including cuttlery, crockery and even the childrens teddy's.
Being on the doorstep of Dalby Forest, there are hours of entertainment to be had. You can follow the stream at the bottom of the valley to the River Derwent or venture into the surounding woods. We can provide a guest pass (free access) for Dalby Forest.
The Wagons are not powered by electricity and are romantically lit by candles and oil lamps. Heated by cast iron gas heaters.

Our camps are spread out across our site, each one secluded from the others with nothing to see but the meadows, woods, views and at night the starry skies.
The site is truly wild, with ancient woodland to one side with a beck running through it, and fields which we are rewilding full of wildflowers, bees and butterflies. The wildlife runs riot, with deer, owls, badgers, bats and all kinds of wild birds regular visitors. To preserve our wilderness and peace no cars are allowed on site; our visitors walk down the fields to their camps, leaving the real world with their cars at the gate (if you have mobility problems please contact us directly).
Our camps are completely off-grid making it perfect for those looking for a digital detox and to get away from the stresses and strains of modern life. We try hard to be gentle on this beautiful place we call home, and the site is designed to be low impact on the environment with it’s own spring water, composting toilets and willow banks. All lighting is solar or via rechargeable batteries and eco-friendly washing products are provided.
All the camps have a luxurious feeling despite feeling completely cut off from the outside world, with proper beds with comfy mattresses and their own hot showers; luxury bedding and fluffy towels are provided. Each camp has been handbuilt entirely by us from scratch from things that are recycled, found, car booted, made, upcycled, saved or rescued. Some things are on their third or even fourth life on the farm. Look out for the details, expect the unexpected, this is not glamping by numbers.
Nothing says glamping to us like a real fire at the end of the day, toasting marshmallows, sharing stories and putting the day to rest. Each camp has a firepit for you to do just this.
There is very little mobile reception in many places on the farm and we wholeheartedly recommend you take this as an opportunity to leave your phone with the rest of the modern world behind for your stay and remember what it is to live a little bit wild.

We loved camping here in the woods. The pitches are secluded and private- you have your own little patch of relaxing woodland and not a car or campervan in sight! The toilet block was so clean and I really appreciated the soft lighting as it didn't blind you when using the bathroom at night.
You can tell Duncan and the team really care about protecting this wooded area and are environmentally conscious. This was also much appreciated.
The town is just a 15-20 minute walk away and there is a nice local pub that serves great pies.
Haworth is a very short distance away and it was lovely to come back to the woods after a day out.

We had a fantastic weekend at Aldwark Bridge Glamping. The Shepherd’s Hut was gorgeous, very comfortable and luxurious. The grounds and outdoor kitchen are great and the direct access to the river was perfect to practice our paddleboarding. Matt and Jo (and the dogs) were fantastic hosts. We’d definitely book again x

Weekend Trip to Coast and Camplight Whitby Glamping
This place is magical. We were blown away by the campsite, the land and the owners. It was our first trip away with our 1 year old as a family. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place. The campsite is so well cared for, the rewilding is nothing short of incredible; Ed and Verity are real stewards of the land. We saw deer, owls and other wildlife right from the tent. The tent and facilities itself were so well maintained and thoughtful. We had every we needed to cook, the tent itself was cosy and comfy. From the honesty shop, to the fire pit, from the stove to the bed, everything has been thought about meticulously. Our favourite part was the rotating kitchen, being able to shelter from wind or pick the perfect view. The shower was hot, and the facilities were everything we needed. We absolutely will be staying again, please don’t think twice about booking.

This is such a peaceful and beautiful campsite. I loved my stay in a tent. The site is very family friendly, hot showers (if that's your thing when camping!), and plenty of space per pitch. The place has a lovely vibe, and it's near to footpath walks and of course Castle Howard.
