  • Peaceful, dog-friendly site within the North York Moors National Park
  • Five minutes’ drive from Whitby's seaside, abbey and museums
  • Barbecues permitted on site and cycle hire nearby
Pitch up in the North York Moors National Park at Long Meadow Farm and the pretty views will have you itching to get out for explores of both coast and countryside. There are plenty of walks in the surrounds for all abilities at this family- and dog-friendly site, five minutes’ drive from the sea at Whitby, with wildlife to keep an eye out for as you amble. If you prefer to trundle on wheels, cycle hire is available over the road from Long Meadow. After a day well spent navigating the local area, head back to the park for some refuelling – there’s a supermarket in Whitby for supplies and barbecues are permitted on site, so grab anything that can be grilled and get ready to tuck in. If your roams have you tired out and you’re not up to cooking, a couple of pubs serving meals are within walking distance, so you can stop in for a quick refreshment before hitting the hay. Please note that this site does not have toilet or shower facilities.

What customers say

This small, clean and well-maintained site is praised for its excellent location, offering beautiful views and easy access to Whitby via walking or public transport. Visitors appreciate the peaceful atmosphere and efficient, text-based check-in process. While basic amenities are provided, the absence of toilet and shower facilities is noted by some. Pitches are generally well-kept, though some find them a little close together. Overall, it's considered a great base for exploring the area.

Laurie F.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked We liked the view and the close proximity to both Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay. Bus stop within a three minute walk and it takes the Freedom Pass so travel for pensioners is free.
Whitby Abbey is on the same road (as is Whitby brewery) approx 2.5 miles along.
Whitby Abbey is English Heritage so free access for members but you need to pay for the carpark.
Pitch is allocated before arrival with email and text communication and there is no-one to meet and greet.
Elsan point and fresh water are nice and clean and convenient. Rubbish bin is provided. 240 volt electric socket behind each pitch with 16 amp power. No WiFi but my phone has a good signal.

Disliked Entry to the site has bushes either side, I lost a door mirror to one of them (no damage).
Pitches are very close together, if all campers use an awning then there is no where to park the car. If my nextdoor neighbour had an awning up, I would have been able to reach out from my window to touch it.
The site is at the top of a hill and, although shielded by trees and bushes, it is very windy up there.
The main road is only 3 minutes walk away and is very busy with noisy vehicles throughout the day from very early hours.

Non-electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Loved everything about this site, simple but lovely, next to The Cinder track so you can walk to Robin Hood bay, one way and Whitby the other. Or fab coastal walk.
2 pubs within easy walking distance, both lovely and lively.
Campsite was clean and tidy and nice and open with great views.

Non-electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Clean and tidy with lovely views, well located for jumping onto the bus into Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay and Scarborough. Buses every 20mins.

Disliked Pitches close together. Alot of road noise and someone in a house close by had a rave untill early hours, didn't get much sleep. Probably not a common occurrence though.
No facilities but we knew this when booking.
Wouldn't return as we were able to find a site close by that had facilities for the same price we paid

Local attractions

If you don’t spot any animals scampering about the North York Moors while staying at this site, set off to the SEA LIFE Scarborough aquarium and eye up some underwater creatures instead. The town also has a castle to check out, along with a sandy beach (half an hour's drive). Stretches of coast closer by include Robin Hood's Bay (five minutes), which is also home to a fab old fishing village, and strolls along the seaside at Whitby’s harbour are also a satisfying way to while away your time. Head to this town – said to be the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s spooky novel Dracula – to have a gander at the atmospheric abbey as well. If you’re keen on seeing the scenery of the nearby national park but not on two feet, make tracks to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, which leaves from Whitby and chugs along for 18 miles with views of Newtondale’s geological formations and Fen Bog’s nature reserve. Kids can’t keep still? Tire them out at Go Ape Dalby (35 minutes), a treetop adventure park with all sorts of activities available, or take them to Alpamare waterpark (25 minutes) to whoosh down the slides and float in the pools.
