Runswick Bay Caravan Park

The cry of gulls and the rhythmic wash of waves drift up from the beach below, while the scent of salt air mingles with wild grasses swaying across this clifftop location. Runswick Bay Caravan Park occupies a spectacular position above one of North Yorkshire's most picturesque fishing villages, where red-roofed cottages tumble down steep hillsides toward a sweeping sandy bay.

This traditional site suits families and couples seeking a coastal escape along the dramatic North Yorkshire coastline, positioned between the heritage towns of Whitby and Staithes. The year-round opening makes it ideal for those wanting to experience the North Sea coast beyond peak summer months, when autumn storms and winter light create their own magic along these historic shores.

Facilities are straightforward with toilets and showers serving pitches for tents, campervans, and caravans. Check regarding campfire policies when you arrive. The real draw here is the location itself—perched above a village renowned for its geology, fossil hunting, and one of England's loveliest beaches. The atmosphere balances peaceful clifftop retreat with easy access to coastal charm.
