  • 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

Farsyde Farm boasts an exceptional location with stunning sea views, just a short walk from Robin Hood's Bay. Guests consistently praise the friendly hosts and the peaceful, natural atmosphere. The site is appreciated for its spacious, well-maintained pitches and its proximity to coastal walks. Facilities are described as basic but clean, with an honesty box for the shower. While some mention the limited number of toilets and showers, and the lack of hot water for washing up, the overall sentiment is positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked We stayed here for one night and I must admit after reading the reviews I was a little on edge of the responses we would receive, however we arrived and I was easily put at ease.
View amazing
Area spot on
Shower lovely - I have seen comments of people moaning that they had to pay for this - it’s £1 in an honesty box for a shower with no timer, warm water with good pressure 🤷🏼‍♀️
Toilets clean

Disliked No dog mess even if it’s picked up but we respect that and walked them outside the area where there is plenty of walks.
Unable to check in early.
Cold water for washing
Cold water and no mirror in the wash area
Door locks needs adjusting

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We have really enjoyed another brilliant camping holiday at Farsyde farm in it’s stunning location right at the heart of Robin Hoods Bay. Heidi was a lovely and welcoming host and the facilities were nice and clean with a fantastic power shower in a charming al fresco surround creating a lovely holiday vibe. Gorgeous farm animals are a real treat to watch and listen to on and around the farm while camping. Would highly recommend!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked A nice and peaceful place where you can truly feel close to nature, with beautiful views and wildlife all around. The sanitary facilities are clean, and it’s conveniently close to the town and the beach.

Disliked The campsite is a bit difficult to find because you have to drive through another campsite to reach it, and I didn’t notice any signposts. There is also no pedestrian gate, so you have to open the main gate to get in.

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).
