  • Smart and spacious glamping units close to the North Yorkshire coast
  • A 10-minute walk from Cayton Bay and three miles from Scarborough
  • Playground and games area on site; bus stops outside the park
Fresh air and green views all around – and a beach 10 minutes’ walk away? That sounds like a pretty good deal already, but it gets even better when you see the smart, spacious and well-equipped accommodation on offer at Cayton Village Experience Freedom Glamping. Take a look through the pics of this North Yorkshire site and you’ll see that you’ll be staying in a unit that's been nicely designed and kitted out with all the things you'll need for a comfy and cosy stay – beds and bed linen are provided, along with a well-equipped kitchen, a barbecue and outdoor seating. There's also heating to keep you warm on cooler days. Cayton Village is a very nicely maintained site, backed by the village church and niftily designed to blend in with its natural surroundings, with acres of space to relax. The park has a well-stocked shop and an enclosed playground and a multi-use games area. All of this means this is a very pleasant place to spend some time… but it’s also in a handy spot for all sorts of days out, from beach times and coast walks to moorland walks to family-friendly attractions like Flamingo Land. Best of all for those who feel driven mad with driving: buses to Scarborough, Filey and Bridlington run right from the Cayton Village Experience Freedom Glamping entrance.

Cabin (no pets)

Liked: A very organised site, extremely clean and well-equipped, comfortable accommodation. Staff were so friendly and helpful, 10/10 for customer service. Lovely playground on the site and plenty of space for kids to run around. Great location and easily accessible by bus or car to Scarborough and Filey, we walked to Scarborough which was a fairly easy 5k walk. We would definitely come back!

Disliked: The site shop is only open quite limited hours, however there is a shop in the nearby village in walking distance. We were surprised given the cost that we had to strip all the beds ourselves at the end of our stay.

Local attractions

To the coast? The nearest beach is Cayton Bay, just 10 minutes’ walk away; pick up snacks and beach bits and bobs at the small hut, or go rockpooling in one of the many rocky hollows. You may also like to head to Scarborough (10 minutes’ drive) for more beach time, Sea Life Scarborough and Alpamare UK waterpark, or to pick up the Cleveland Way for the four-mile walk to Filey. Elsewhere along the coast, the likes of Bridlington (25 minutes) and Robin Hood’s Bay (40 minutes) are popular destinations, and you can also explore Dracula’s ‘home town’ of Whitby (45 minutes). For birdwatchers, RSPB Bempton Cliffs (20 minutes) is a must-visit, as it’s home to the only gannet colony on the UK mainland. Inland, you may like to take a hike in the North York Moors National Park (35 minutes), hit the bike trails in Dalby Forest (25 minutes), ride the North Yorkshire Moors Railway from Pickering (35 minutes) or treat the kids to rides, shows and an animal encounters at Flamingo Land Resort (40 minutes).
