Sunset over robin hood's bay

  • Dog-friendly farm site one mile from Robin Hood's Bay
  • Walking distance from the beach, village and the Cleveland Way
  • Horses welcome; shops and restaurants nearby
Robin Hood’s Bay was once the stomping ground of smugglers, but you’ll be the new sharks about this place… you see, Farsyde Farm is only one mile from the beach and village, so you’ll be well-based for hunting down rockpools, ancient fossils and cobbled streets chock-full with independent shops, pubs and fish and chip shops. Plus, you’ll get to freestyle right onto the Cinder Track or Cleveland Way, as both trails are 10 minutes' walk away. More on that new den of yours… the peaceful Farsyde Farm is surrounded by the coast and countryside, and the large field spies over the grand Ravenscar cliffs, the countryside and the sea. When you’re not preoccupied with the views and splendid sunrises or sunsets, dark starry nights take over by night – just the thing after a day spent walking, mountain biking or following family trails locally. When it comes to getting your go-to snacks and meals, there’s no need to put the car into action either. The village and its well-stocked shops are 15 minutes’ walk away along the Cleveland Way. Of course, the beach might very well reel you in with its rockpools and fossils (just be sure to take care, especially with the kids). There are good facilities on site, including two flushing toilets, showers, a tap and a washing-up area. Those of you who have horses in your flock will be happy to find they’re welcome too, and guided rides are available. An added bonus is that this site is home to a flock of adorable Valais Blacknose sheep and a small herd of alpacas.

What customers say

This campsite boasts a stunning coastal location with beautiful views and is a short walk from Robin Hood's Bay. Visitors praise the peaceful atmosphere, spacious pitches, and friendly, helpful hosts. While facilities are described as basic and rustic, they are consistently noted as clean and well-maintained. The presence of farm animals is a highlight for many.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Great location
Well spaced out pitches

Disliked Don’t expect a warm welcome or any hospitality. Started out with a rude text exchange stating that we wouldn’t be able to arrive after 8pm (even if we were stuck in traffic) yet we saw people arrive after 8 while we were there. The owner is rude and abrasive as previously mentioned in other reviews.

Very expensive for what it is. Extra for dogs with nothing for them seems unreasonable. Not enough facilities, but I always found them pretty clean.

As previously mentioned the lack of hot water is an issue for the price.

From the manager: Check in times are clear on Pitchup so that you know when you book. However, you said that you were going to arrive after 9pm which is too late and disrupts the other campers. We have to have a cut off point! On arrival you were impatient and didn't seem interested in any information. Your partner posted a Google review which had to be removed by them but having read his other reviews there isn't a campsite anywhere that is good enough or suits you.

Thomas P. 3 reviews

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Beautiful view! A very scenic ten minute walk along a coastal path takes you down to the heart of robin hood's bay, which is very convenient!

We were also able to quickly reach the nearby "cinder trail" cycle path, which is wide, well maintained and runs to Whitby and Scarborough.

The site is very quiet, with very spacious pitches, and a relaxed atmosphere.

Facilities are on the rustic side, which is to be expected, this is not trying to be an enormous campsite with loads of facilities on site, it's very deliberately small and friendly.

Disliked There were a two small niggles:

1. The bathroom doors don't shut properly, and my wife surprised some poor person in the bathroom
2. The shower is stuck on searingly hot. I thought this was awesome, but it is, understandably, not to everyone's taste.


Also, be aware that there is a strict policy that does not allow arrivals after 8pm. If you are travelling from away, you may need to set off in the morning, as arriving after work may be impossible.

Local attractions

So, where to get walking to? You’ll be going off-road on the 22-mile Cinder Track (10 minutes' walk). Depending on which way you go, Scarborough or Whitby could be your end destination… with the latter, you’ll be on track for the gothic-style Whitby Abbey (15 minutes' drive), and spooky it is, as the 13th-century abbey was the inspiration for the Dracula novel. The Cleveland Way (10 minutes' walk) is another cycling or walking route pretty much on your doorstep. It passes through Scarborough and Whitby too, as well the North York Moors and Saltburn-by-the-Sea – there are 109 miles, so you may want to be choosy about which section you go for. When you’re ready to rest your feet, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (25 minutes' drive) is right and ready for a steam railway trip, perhaps on one of the historic Pullman carriages. As for those of you who aren’t ready for the action-packed activities to end just yet, there are the zipwires and treetop obstacles at Go Ape Dalby (45 minutes) or wakeboarding, paddleboarding, kayaking and an aqua park at North Yorkshire Water Park (45 minutes).
