Why stay here ...
The CL is open from Easter - end of September approximately.
Smugglers Rock CL is a quiet site set in a field adjacent to our holiday cottages. In the surrounding fields are a variety of sheep, Shetland ponies and highland cattle. We are located in the small coastal village of Ravenscar in the North York Moors National Park. Visitors can enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding countryside and sea from close by. You can also visit the seal colony in Ravenscar. The site is set on a 1 acre site and the pitches are lawned (with reinforced matting) and well spaced. All pitches have a grey water drainage and a fresh water tap. Electric hook-ups to each pitch and wi-fi available.
New for 2019 - Serviced pitches (electric hook up, water and grey water disposal) and plenty of space for awnings.
Well-behaved dogs (max. 2) and children are welcome at the site. Maximum of 5 people (including children) in each unit.
Sorry but we are unable to accept any large motorhomes over 7.5 metres.
We are 10 miles from Scarborough, 12 miles from Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay, and close to the North York Moors villages including Pickering, Grosmont and Goathland ('Heartbeat' country). All of these destinations are easily accessible from the site. We are also ideally situated for walking and cycling along the beautiful Yorkshire coastline. The coast to coast walk and the Cleveland Way both run through the village as does the old railway line from Scarborough to Whitby which is now a popular walkway. There is a limited local bus service (not Sundays) across the road which serves Scarborough. There are several good pubs within 5 miles, which offer great food, and the nearest beach access to the site is 2 miles.
Also available for non-camping family members we have self catering cottages.

Perfect for cyclists and walkers
Smugglers Rock Country House
About half a mile outside of Ravenscar centre this is an exceptionally presented and well-run site with easy access. We appreciated the location for easy access to the long-distance off'road cycle route (the Cinder Track) between Scarborough and Whitby, being located exactly midway between the two towns. This track is doable even with road bikes, easy with slightly wider tyres. Close too to the coast path for lovely coastal walks to the south, or Robins Hood Bay to the north. Note, no provisions available in Ravenscar itself so come stocked with sufficient bread and milk for example. The site owners have a great system of communication with guests before, during and after the stay making us feel very welcome and cared-for.
Just Pitch Up and Relax!
Smugglers Rock Country House
Quiet and peaceful, well tended and cared for caravan pitches by 'Merv' the robotic mower. Didn't met the owners until near the end of our stay as everything was done via the efficient website and booking platform, but we knew they were there if we needed them as they emailed just after arrival checking everything was ok. Was a nice refreshing change not to have to go knocking on doors trying to find someone to let you know if they wanted you in any specific pitch or not. The site is basic as in no toilet/shower, but each pitch is fully serviced with a tap of it's own and waste pipe to hook up to your van to save you filling and emptying barrels. You would just need your own fresh water hose and fittings for your van or barrel if you want to have the full easy life so to speak. There is also excellent Wi-Fi on site that you pay £1 a night if you want it. Pitches are all grass, marked out with little green flags to site your van which are where the grass has been reinforced underneath. We had torrential rain and high winds for the first half of our stay but the ground drained well, and it is so sheltered that you would not have known it was blowing a gale. Plenty of walks from site and one of the most peaceful we have stayed at. Highly recommend.
An absolute gem of a CL
Smugglers Rock Country House
One of our favorite sites, it is very well kept and has water and grey waste point at each pitch. We always receive a warm welcome to a lovely peaceful site with beautiful sea views. In easy reach to cycle either to Scarborough, Robin Hoods Bay or Whitby along the Cinder Path. Great area for walking and sea swimming and after a busy day there is great for reception on the TV or really good WiFi. Amazing seal sanctuary at Ravenscar just down the road. Thanks for another lovely stay.
