Hi nice and breezy tonight Feb 21.02.2020. Quiet car park. very open. DO NOT Drive past the car park. The road down to staithes is a 1:25 incline and very narrow. we had to put both mirrors in and only just fit through.
NO PARKING and hardly anywhere to turn around. would stay again. nice pubs 10 mins walk from the car park. love Ste/Michelle and Alfie the collie xx

firstly, take no notice to the vehicle restriction signs at the end of the road, they actually apply to the road after where this car park is. the road is narrow but easily navigable.
site is flat and has good views all round and is right on the Cleveland way footpath. it is quite exposed so you notice this in windy weather.
we enjoyed a walk into staithes for a pint and the view from cowbar bank nature reserve is worth a visit. There is one small bin on site but that's it. we were joined by another motorhome which annoyingly ran their engine late at night but other than that it was a quiet peaceful night. would stop here again.

Staithes is one of our favorite places so decided to camp “off grid” for the forst time here. Loved it. Very quiet evening, 4 MH and 1 camper. To walk into staithes just continue down the road toward the sea, follow it around between the houses and down into Staithes. Very flat tarmac path, doable even in the winter darkness, but id advise a torch. Recommend crab sandwiches in the cod and lobster.

Great little site, short walk about 10 minutes down into the old town, but up and down a challenging 25% gradient. Only two of us there, but it was November! Nice couple of pubs around, and a lovely historic fishing village.

stay for 1 night, ground was nearly level there was a few other campervans when we got there and cars to. a lovely view of the village and if the weather wasnt so miserable would have been nice view of the sea.
would definitely recommend this place if in the area. no facilities.

wonderful views, been a couple of times. thought everyone should know that the man who owns the land below the carpark and the strip of land on the cliff top is claiming motorhomers are emptying their toilet cassette s on this strip of land and poisoning his crops this is why he has dug a deep trench and tried to build a barrier with clay and soil

Good Motorhome overnight stop. Excellent Walking opportunities along Cleveland Way .
Down side1. as with any car park there is a tendency to park close to the next vehicle rather than spread out
When we were there Vans parked within 5 feet on either side of our van despite there being 50% of other places available . I assume many people only feel safe in close proximity to others
2. Litter. Cars seem to arrive at all hours and leave having deposited pizza boxes and cans ect. I prefprmed a litter pickin the morning and placed detritus in the provided litter bin.

Rubbish bin at end of car park.

This was our first ever wild camp and we couldn't have asked for more. Stayed two nights. One other van present on the Friday and 6 more on the Saturday night. Lovely large car park on a cliff top. Nice and quiet and beautiful views. 10 mins walk into Staithes but steep on the way back up. No facilities except a bin.

Great spot to stay for the night. Short walk into the village (steep hill though) where there are a few nice pubs. Only a couple of other vans on a Sunday night in June and plenty of room for more. Seagulls like landing on the top of vehicles though which can be scary if not expected!

Very busy when we arrived around 6pm on a bank holiday weekend so we just park on the approach until spaces cleared. Very exposed on a windy night so don't stay if your bothered by being rocked to sleep! Only 5 mins walk to Staiths.

Easy to find (ignore the warning signs) and reasonably flat.
Busy during the day - walkers and dogs, but very quiet at night.
The views are breathtaking when you walk up to the cliff edge.
Well worth a nights or two stopover.

As per the other reviews, except that at cowbar lane there is a sign which says unsuitable for motor vehicles. This is obviously not true because we are there, and the one side of the village harbour of Staithes is further down this narrow lane with passing places. The harbour are is fantastic, and gives access to the other side of the river where the pubs etc are located. Pictures uploaded! No facilities of course so 10 given!

Nice little parking area, short walk into Staithes where there are nice pubs and coffee shops, very nice art shop in the village, they is also a craft shop in the old church I think with stalls of goods from the local community on sale. Cannot rate the price or the facilities as they are free so I have put 10
