How long does it take to drive to Scarborough from Leeds?

Usually around an hour and a half to two hours via the A64, depending on traffic.

Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay suit cliffs and the moors, Scarborough and Filey have the resort beaches and many parks, Bridlington has the harbour and Flamborough, and Holderness is quieter.

Some parks run letting schemes, some allow private letting with conditions, and some do not allow letting. It depends on the park, so check the park rules and pitch licence before you buy.
