Why choose Scarborough for your road trip
Scarborough — a city worth exploring
Scarborough's South Bay beach stretches over 1.5 km beneath the ruins of a 12th-century royal castle that once hosted King Henry II. Perched on the Yorkshire coast, this seaside town blends heritage with fresh sea air in a way few places can match. You can explore the Rotunda Museum, one of the oldest purpose-built museums in the country, or wander through Peasholm Park with its oriental-themed gardens and naval warfare re-enactments on the boating lake. The Scarborough Spa complex, a grand Victorian entertainment venue on the seafront, hosts live music and events throughout the year. For nature lovers, the Cleveland Way National Trail passes right through town, offering dramatic clifftop walks with views across the North Sea. Whitby sits just 30 km to the north, famous for its abbey and fish and chips, while the market town of Pickering is 29 km inland, serving as the starting point for the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. The surrounding roads are well suited to larger vehicles, with wide A-roads connecting the coast to the moors and dales beyond. Hiring a campervan through Yescapa means you can pick up from a local owner who knows the best routes and overnight spots along this stretch of coastline. A motorhome gives you the freedom to wake up to sea views one morning and moorland the next, making Scarborough an ideal base for exploring the Yorkshire coast at your own pace.
Best time to visit
Scarborough comes alive from May to September, when the seafront buzzes with activity and the town hosts events like the Scarborough Armed Forces Day in June and the Seafest maritime festival in July. Booking a campervan early for the summer months is a smart move, as coastal pitches are in high demand. Autumn brings quieter roads and golden colours across the North York Moors, perfect for a motorhome tour without the crowds. With Yescapa, you can often find better hire rates outside peak season, thanks to flexible pricing set by local owners in Scarborough and the surrounding area.

Where to park your motorhome

The council operates pay-and-display car parks near both the North and South Bays. Overnight parking in a campervan or motorhome is generally not permitted in standard car parks, so plan to use a nearby campsite for stays.

We had a fantastic experience hiring this campervan! It was very clean, well maintained and exactly as pictured. Alberto, the owner, was incredibly friendly and helpful, and was always happy to answer any questions we had. The campervan was perfect for the three people travelling in our party and had everything we needed for a comfortable trip. The heating, hot water and electricity all worked perfectly, and having a cooker and fridge meant we could easily prepare meals and store food. We would highly recommend this campervan to anyone looking for a trip away, and wouldn’t hesitate to hire it again. Thank you Alberto!

Thank you, Jesús María, for one of our best travel experiences! Great communication before our arrival and warm welcome in Málaga were the perfect start to the trip. The van was fully equipped, and we had an amazing time exploring beautiful Andalusia. It was hard to say goodbye to our little home on wheels, but hopefully we’ll get the chance to take it on another adventure someday! Highly recommended! 🚐⭐️

We had a great trip and a good overall experience with Marco’s campervan. Communication with the owner was very swiftly, both before and during the rental. Campervan also met our standards and was in line with description. We were on the road for 9 days. It was our first experience driving and being on the road with a campervan and we did not experience any issues at all. The van itself was in good condition, and Marco was very available for any questions. Would definitely recommend!

The hire from Franck was perfect for our holiday in the Alsace. It was modern and spacious and very practical. The hiring experience was very easy and Franck was a great host. He assisted us with all our questions and always responded promptly. We would not hesitate in recommending this motorhome for future trips.
