Campsites with campfires near Filey

Between the seaside resorts of Scarborough and Bridlington, Filey offers simpler days by the seaside. Its long sandy beach is perfect for paddling, swimming and sandcastle building and it' got a lower-key attraction all of its own with a promenade, beach huts and a bandstand just off the shoreline. It's a great launching pad for walks on the 109-mile Cleveland Way which starts at Filey Brigg, a peninsula a mile north of the town. Camping and glamping in Filey and its surroundings gives you access to wilder and quieter stretches of the Yorkshire coastline but keeps you within reach of the kiss-me-quick entertainment of the busier neighbouring resorts and offers easy access to the stunning Yorkshire moors too. The area's been attracting holidaymakers since Victorian times and there are plenty of places to stay but here at Hipcamp we steer clear of the large-scale holiday parks and caravan sites that dominate the coast and look for smaller, independent camping and glamping sites. We've only given the thumbs up to the ones that we think offer something special whether that's a classic campsite in a special location or luxury glamping in pods, yurts and bell tents.

Filey's golden sands are where it's at if you want a paddle in the sea, lunch with a sea view or a stroll along the prom. The town centre has independent shops and cafes and a little museum where you can learn about its history. Filey Brigg, a mile north of town, is where the Cleveland Way National Trail begins. It's a lovely place for walking, running and birdwatching. The same can be said about Flamborough Head, 13 miles to the south, with its iconic lighthouse. It's less than 10 miles to Scarborough which offers the full range of seaside attractions from donkey rides on the beach to boating in Peasholm Park and the Scarborough Sealife Centre. Inland, you can explore Dalby Forest where there's yet more walking, mountain bike trails and treetop adventures, on the edge of the Yorkshire Moors National Park. For more informationon things to do while you're camping and glamping in Filey, visit the Discover Yorkshire Coast website.

Just south of the bucket-and-spade resort of Scarborough, the smaller town of Filey offers a quieter way to explore the North Yorkshire coast, with a host of good campsites in the local area. Find the best of them today, with Hipcamp's carefully selected collection of top campsites.

Received a very warm welcome to our numbered & reserved pitch. A lovely quiet site, fantastic facilities lovely clean and hot showers and toilets. So quiet at night, we stayed in our campervan on an electric gravel pitch, really enjoyed our (1 night) stay. Castle Howard is generally beautiful also!

Weekend Trip to White Peak Camping

⸻ White Peak Camping is such a beautiful and peaceful spot — absolutely loved our stay. The campsite is perfectly situated with easy access to stunning walks all around. The toilets were decent and clean, and the little phone-charging points are such a thoughtful touch if you need them. We also really appreciated the free fire pits, which made the evenings super cosy. The owner, Janice, was great and very communicative, and her son Matt even came to check on us to make sure we didn’t get stuck with our van after the storm the night before. Really lovely people. One thing to note is that they place strong emphasis on keeping noise down — no loud music at all — which we actually loved, because it made the whole place incredibly quiet, calm, and relaxing. Highly recommend White Peak Camping if you’re looking for a beautiful, peaceful countryside escape. Thanks, Antje and Jay

Staying in 'Oxo'. Amazing cozy little hut full of amazing personal touches and a lovely warm welcome from the owner and some lovely little luxurys on a welcome tray. The site has a little dog run, a little shop for beers, wine and eggs, washing facilities and fire.pits. Brilliant stay.

I literally never write reviews for anything even when I triple promise I will but this place is just that awesome. It's got all the essentials so makes it comfortable (even on a stormy Oct night first time camping alone with my daughter!) But not too much that you feel like you're cheating- the whole point for me was for it to feel challenging, hey you survived that dear daughter you can do anything (without her dying from exposure). The toilets were nicer and cleaner than all weatherspoons loos, 2 charging ports for phones and a sink, lots of bins for rubbish and a gorgeous site with beautiful views (& a cute little swing). The views of the peak district were just stunning on the way down too. Janice was amazing - she walked down to us in the pouring rain (after a full day's work) to check we had everything! We'll definitely be back again, possibly when it's a bit warmer

Me and my partner came here for a much needed city break by tent and it was honestly amazing! The shower and toilet are seperate facilities and both clean, there is a kitchen too with a gas stove for cooking! The site is near anywhere you'd like to drive or even walk to around the peak district, and in the actual site itself you can see all the altitude and beauty around you. The air is incredibly fresh, and the owners of the campsite are really sweet and helpful. Will definitely come back for our next trip to the peak district this summer, thank you for having us :)

A lovely rural quiet place to stay. Fantastic views and lovely walks right on the doorstep. Beautiful rural quiet spot with fabulous views. Great value for money. Would 100% definitely recommend. A nice touch was the picnic benches and a tree swing. The toilets were extremely clean and fully flushable with running water and hand soap/handtowel. 5* from me!

Great spot, I was the only camper. Hiked 10km with my dog, put my tent up, cooked evening meal on my trangia on one of the wooden tables that are there, could have walked say 10 minutes to the pub but couldn’t be arsed, so just sat quietly with the dog enjoying the peace and quiet! Toilets are clean and there’s a cold water sink for washing up which is also v clean. Met the farmer on the way in, very pleasant chap. Great place! Hiked back to my car this morning. Lovely break from work!

I visited solo (motorbike camping) mid-week and I was the only one here! I chose this site as I wanted a basic, quiet site to stopover for a night. It provided just that, so clean and quiet and such a pleasant stay. Granted it is next to a working farm so there were a few cows chattering through the night but all adds to the charm. Clean toilets (x3) and wash up block, no shower or hot water but not an issue for this stay. Free fire pit and wood was available for purchase although I did have my own this time. Overall a great, back to basics and quiet location located in a lovely part of the world ☺️

We had a really lovely stay in OXO. There were countless considerate details that really elevated our stay, such as a lovely warm welcome note and delicious local treats left for us. Bruce is a great host and we had a really memorable stay.

But for a more authentic taste of the North East coast, this pretty fishing town offers glorious sands, beautiful sunrises and a chance to get back to nature along the North Yorkshire coastline. Stroll to Filey Brigg and join the renowned Cleveland Way footpath, explore Glen Gardens or hunt for fossils in the bay. However you choose to spend your time, the local area has a number of great campsites in which to pitch your tent. And, as always, only the very best have made it onto our shortlist.
