Whether you’re staying in one of our cozy glamping pods, pitching a tent on a quiet grass pitch, or parking up your camper van, here are 7 simple ways to embrace the art of being lazy — the kind that leaves you recharged, content, and quietly restored.

A Moment of Calm, A World of Wonder

The laziest campsite in the UK. Embrace the art of being lazy, right here on the Yorkshire Coast.

At Prospect House Farm, our glamping pods and camping pitches are set in the serene countryside of Scarborough, offering the perfect environment for those who want to unwind. Imagine waking up to the soft sound of birds singing and the cool, fresh air. With no deadlines or rush, it’s easy to settle into the peaceful surroundings and feel time slow down.

Take a moment to stop and breathe. Feel the warm sun on your face or the cool breeze through the trees. Here, the world moves at a slower pace, giving you space to relax and simply be.

1. Wake Up Naturally to the Sounds of Nature


No alarms. No rush. Just birdsong, fresh morning air, and the soft light of a new day. Whether you’re tucked up in a pod or unzipping your tent, mornings at Prospect House Farm are all about easing in.

Start your day with:

  • A stretch under the sky
  • A steaming mug of tea or coffee
  • A sense of stillness that sets the tone for everything that follows

2. Let Your Surroundings Set the Pace


Our site near Scarborough and the North Yorkshire coast is designed for stillness. Here, there’s no itinerary, no traffic — just open space and natural beauty.

  • Stroll through meadows
  • Wander woodland trails
  • Sit under a tree and do absolutely nothing

Let the land lead. It knows how to slow you down.

3. Rest, Your Way — No Guilt, No Clock


There’s no right way to rest here — only your way.

  • Glamping guests can soak in private hot tubs or snooze in king-sized beds
  • Campers can read by the fire, doze in hammocks, or drift off to birdsong

No pressure. No schedules. Just real, restorative rest.

4. Reconnect Without the Noise


You won’t find Wi-Fi or notifications pulling you away from the moment. What you will find is space — to talk, reflect, and reconnect.

  • Couples find closeness without distraction
  • Families enjoy quality time
  • Solo travellers rediscover their own rhythm

It’s not about disconnecting from the world — it’s about reconnecting with yourself.

5. Enjoy the Beauty of Doing Less


There’s something magical about slow living. At Prospect House Farm, that could look like:

  • Watching clouds drift by
  • Brewing coffee slowly
  • Wandering without a destination

Simple things become meaningful when you have time to notice them.

6. Let the Skies Be Your Entertainment


When the sun sets, the sky puts on a show. We’re part of a Dark Sky Reserve, so whether you’re soaking in a hot tub or gazing up from your tent, the stargazing is spectacular.

  • Spot constellations
  • Make a wish on a shooting star
  • Just breathe it all in

7. Take the Lazy Feeling Home With You


The best part? Lazy isn’t something you leave behind. After a few days here, you’ll find yourself walking slower, breathing deeper, and remembering that life doesn’t always have to be rushed.

The Slow Art of Recharging

Slowing down is not a waste of time—it’s a chance to restore your mind and body. By embracing the art of being lazy, you allow yourself the time to reconnect with what matters. Whether it’s sipping tea in the morning, watching the sunset, or sharing a quiet conversation by the fire, the beauty of doing less is in the quality of the moments you create.

So, come and experience the joy of slowing down. Let go of the rush, and allow yourself the time to truly rest. You’ll leave feeling refreshed, recharged, and ready to embrace the world at your own pace.
