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 exceptional views and easy access to Robin Hood's Bay, making it ideal for walkers. Guests appreciate the peaceful atmosphere, the presence of farm animals, and the clean, though basic, facilities. While many highlight the friendly owners and natural setting, some mention cold water for washing and a single shower as limitations, with a few finding it expensive for the amenities offered.

Liked Beautiful location, well situated within easy walking distance of Robin Hoods Bay and Boggle Hole.

Toilets and shower were basic but very clean. The hanging baskets, container plants, lights were a nice touch.

Loved being so close to the animals.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Amazing views, facilities were simple but effective, and we loved seeing the animals around the campsite. Really clear and well communicated expectations and rules so the campsite was super organised and felt safe (I was alone with my child and dog and felt really secure). So easy to walk to Robin Hoods bay and Boggle Hole via footpaths.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Beautiful location. Very quiet. Beautiful cliff and beach walks. Easy access to the town if you can manage steps. Excellent set of rules to keep the camp safe, tidy and clean - especially the dog rules.

Disliked It did not impact us as we are self contained, however there are only 2 W.C.s for a sizeable camp. Single track for part of the approach.

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).
