We are travelling to York for a few days then onto Scarborough, Caravan and Motorhome Club want £ 29.90 per night !! Near York just wondered if any Funsters know of more reasonable priced sites or Pub near York and Scarborough, so either we can walk or catch a bus nearby as these Club prices are getting out of hand.
Thanks
Tony A

Scheck to see if either of the clubs are holding a rally in the cricket club. A decent walk into York but only £11 pupn if memory serves me right. It’s a nice walk along the river.

Getting there!
I know the C&MC York is not the cheapest but it is so convenient. A two minute walk and you are at Cliffords Tower and another minute or two puts you in the middle of town.

Based on the prices being given, York CAMC isn’t over priced. If you can get in, it is very close to town. We go as often as we can.

Near Scarborough you have the Royal Oak pub at Hunmanby, then a bus ride to Filey, Bridlington and Scarborough, no charge at the pub. Also some wild camping across the road from Cayton Bay holiday park, great views over the cliff. Also some wild camping near the sea life centre Scarborough.

Hi thanks for input , but, paying nearly £40 per night wherever it is in the UK is not good value, the CAMC and the C&CC are running like big businesses, I can afford to stay but there are a lot of people especially those on pensions around £150 per week who would love to stay on these type of sites cannot afford too. These clubs brag about they are owned by the Members for the Members it is about time they listened to the Members

I was trying to make reference to the costs of sites suggested by others on this thread ranging from £25-30 pupn, which is very close to your quote of £29.90. Having the convenience of being able to walk in town rather than getting the bus would be a decider for me. It’s all down to choice.

Nearby you have the piebald inn, free to stop (if you have pie). ;)
Train station 5 mins walk for trains to Scarborough

The pie concept is great, but a long wait to get served. It’s a shame because if they had 10 pies not 40 pie choices the quality would be just as good but better service. Shame also they don’t do a sandwich type lunch.

Wild camp in the layby, shielded from the road by trees, at the Mercure Fairfield Manor Hotel on the A19 on the North side of York. Bus stop directly opposite and less than one mile from the Lysander Arms.
I should say that although I have used this place myself the place can be used as a 'dogging' site :unsure:
Approximately half a mile beyond this travelling North there is another layby on the opposite side of the road although this is not shielded by trees and it has a slight slope to it.

Keep walking to river and turn right not left, left takes you further out of York, it's a beautiful cycle ride that way into York you come out right at the lovely Sam Smith pub on the river Kings Arms.
I cycle it all the time when we go.
