  • Well-maintained glamping park close to the East Yorkshire coast
  • Near the A165; 10 minutes' drive to Bridlington and 25 to Scarborough
  • Smart, well-insulated pods with kitchen kit and campfire area
Channel your inner Viking and run rampant along the north-east coast at this family-run site in East Yorkshire. Set in pleasing green surrounds, 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 explores 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.

Camping pod

Liked Clean,well equipped and comfortable in a quiet location within easy reach of Bridlington and RSPB Bempton.The text with check in instructions and information was very helpful as you really do need to take DVDs and downloads for entertainment when the weather is wet as the telly reception is poor.

Disliked Be aware the turn in is difficult to spot if you're travelling south from Scarborough direction

Liked Lovely spot for visiting coast.
Beds comfy
Good size for the 4 of us
Children enjoyed the outdoor space and box of outdoor toys

Disliked Just a couple small things. Plates and cutlery good of done with a good wash, had to give them a scrub before using.
Not sure if the window above the bed had been left open but the white sheet was covered on bits of leaves and strange black stuff, had to take the sheet off and sweep the bed with a dustpan and brush

Local attractions

Wrap up warm against the wind and head to RSPB Bempton Cliffs Seabird Centre (10 minutes' drive), a high-up spot with spectacular coastal panoramas and where, from March to October, you can watch around half a million birds tending to their young on the cliff face. For swim-friendly spots, meanwhile, make for one of the several beaches around Bridlington (10 minutes) or check out Scarborough's sandy seafront (25 minutes). Also within easy reach, the former fishing village of Filey (10 minutes) has a great seaside golf club, an animal park and plenty of fish and chip shops to take advantage of. After dawdling here for a while, the sweet selection of attractions on offer in Sewerby (15 minutes) may very well catch your eye – Sewerby Hall and Gardens and Sewerby Zoo are the two must-sees, but an entertaining couple of hours can also be had at Bondville Model Village or Danes Dyke beach. Heading inland, the North York Moors National Park (30 minutes) has hundreds of acres of heather-covered heathland to explore and ace forest trails to tread. Bit more adrenaline needed? Then get yourself to Flamingo Land Resort (45 minutes), a popular local theme park.
