Traveling to Scarborough by RV

The A64 serves as the primary route into Scarborough from York and the inland areas, offering good access for larger motorhomes with minimal restrictions. This dual carriageway connects directly to the A165, which runs along the coast and provides scenic access from Bridlington to the south or Whitby to the north. Most dump stations are accessible via these main routes without navigating narrow town center streets.

RV drivers should be aware that some older caravan parks may have height barriers or narrow entrance gates typical of sites established decades ago. The majority can accommodate motorhomes up to 8 meters, but it's worth checking with individual sites if you're traveling in a particularly large rig. Street parking for large motorhomes in Scarborough town center is limited, so plan to use designated motorhome areas or caravan park facilities.

Overnight parking options include several motorhome-friendly pubs and some caravan parks that allow overnight stops for motorhome service point users. The seafront areas have parking restrictions, but the North Bay area offers better options for larger vehicles. During summer months, arrive early as coastal parking fills quickly with day visitors and touring caravans.
