  • Quiet family campsite with views of the North York Moors National Park
  • A 10-minute drive to Robin Hood’s Bay, and 15 minutes to Whitby
  • Shared kitchen and showers; Coast to Coast Walk 10 minutes’ hike away
With stunning views over the North York Moors National Park from its spacious camping field, Newton House Farm is a small, family-run site on a working farm. It makes a clever base for exploring the local area – the moors and the coastline – and is a handy overnighter for hikers on the Coast to Coast Walk (10 minutes’ hike) before completing the final 10 miles into Robin Hood’s Bay. Although the vibe is almost-wild camping here, there are some facilities (but no electricity, bring torches) to make life easy for guests. There is a main amenities block which has a kitchen area (with a microwave and washing-up amenities) and toilet and shower rooms. There are also two separate (and modern) toilets on the same level as the pitches. Please be aware that the nearest convenience store is in Sleights (10 minutes’ drive) and the closest major supermarket and cash machine are in Whitby (15 minutes), so be prepared and pick up essentials on your way up to the campsite. The site isn't on any public transport routes. There are lots of easy rambles straight from the camping field; Falling Foss Waterfall (10 minutes’ walk) is tucked under the tree canopy in Sneaton Forest, where kids can splash around in May Beck or play pooh sticks from the footbridge while mum and dad have a restorative cuppa at Falling Foss Tea Garden.

What customers say

This campsite offers outstanding views, particularly at sunset, with spacious pitches and a friendly atmosphere ideal for families. Guests praise the clean shower and toilet facilities, along with a well-equipped communal kitchen. The location is highly regarded for its proximity to Falling Foss waterfall and its suitability for walks, though some note a considerable amount of road walking to Whitby. Additional toilets have been installed in the main field. Manager replies confirm that shower pressure issues have been resolved and that site levelling is planned.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Gorgeous location. Lovely touches like spare pegs pot and barrows for carrying equipment.

Disliked Booked 2 pitches and asked to be next to each other. It’s a choose your own pitch situation and we weren’t rewarded. There doesn’t seem to be a water point on the camp field so take a carrier!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Outstanding views great for watching sunsets, nice small campsite with large pitches. Great for families. Good shower block, toilet facilities, communal kitchen with kettle, microwave, fridge & freezer. Handy with a toddler and to keep food cool in warm weather. Lovely, easy walk to Falling Foss waterfall. Shame tea rooms closed. We walked to Whitby (5 miles) nice but alot of road walking. Taxi back! Extra toilets in main field saved walking up the hill. Just up from site nice little van serving sandwiches, coffee and cake. We had a lovely stay and will be back😀

Disliked Walk up hill to showers glad extra toilets in field as could be a wait if someone in shower as toilets in with them and only 2. Could do with more barrows to unload car we are used to luxury of car next to pitch but nice and safe for kids so not too big a deal. We stayed at top on sloping bit but was fine.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Everything , beautiful views, clean comfortable amenities, lovely walks , bonus points given for the free entertainment of watching the farms beautiful talented border collies bring in the sheep. Lady who runs the snack bar friendly and very accomadating, she very kindly brought our order down to campsite for us . The little river by the waterfall was a welcome bonus for a little paddle.
Overall a great experience for novice campers, rules clearly communicated and easy to follow. Location perfect,, we visited Whitby and Scarborough ,the children were wanting to spend some money!I however we could easily have kept.ourselves entertained with the walks and views around the site . We will definitely visit again ,

Disliked Nothing to dislike .

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked We were lucky enough to experience the site with amazing weather which in my opinion makes the whole experience more enjoyable. The site itself had a good friendly atmosphere and facilities were kept extremely clean and tidy, we only stayed the 1 night but could have happily done a couple more.

Route directions

The turning off the B1416 from Whitby is signposted Newton House & Falling Foss. Follow this road until you reach the campsite car park signposted to the right. Follow the sleeper road through the field. The car park is at the end. Please leave your vehicle here and walk to the pitch. Each pitch is numbered, and guests can pick their own pitch. The What3Words location for the car park is: punctual.warm.roost Please note: If you are travelling on the A169 from Pickering, following a sat nav, please do not take the right turning to Littlebeck off Blue Bank. Instead, continue following the road into Sleights then take the right turn (at the fish and chip shop), signposted Robin Hoods Bay. Your sat nav should then direct you from there.

Local attractions

The pretty fishing village of Robin Hood’s Bay (10 minutes’ drive) beckons families for its indie shops in alleyways twisting down towards the harbour, and the chance of finding ancient fossils and ammonites on its sandy beach. From the clifftops above the village, walk a section of the Cleveland Way to Ravenscar (an hour and 20 minutes’ walk) to spot the seal colony in its bay. Whitby (15 minutes’ drive) is dominated by its Gothic abbey and St Mary’s Church set atop the East Cliff, while you can learn all about local hero Captain James Cook at the Cook Memorial Museum. The harbour is the jumping-off point for day cruises out to (hopefully) see dolphins and whales in the North Sea, and you can also climb aboard the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to the lively market town of Pickering (half an hour). To get active as a family, head for Danby Lodge National Park Centre (half an hour) to follow its sculpture walk, have a go at playing quoits or scale the walls in the climbing cave (kids only). At Ruswarp (10 minutes), you can hire rowing boats to paddle along the River Esk, or walk into Whitby along the scenic East Valley Walk (about 20 minutes’ stroll).
