Camping field (added by manager 29 May 2024)

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.

Tony W. Sept 2024

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: We loved the light touch of the owners...all contact completed by text. The site, although on a hill, the pitches are around the edge of the small field and a relatively flat...ish. the view is fab. We like the no car rule on the camping field, the car park is close by. The facilities are new, and clean, the kitchen is an asset.

Disliked: The showers were warm at best and the water pressure is too low, this should be improved or this makes them redundant!

Liked: Beautiful spot, close to one of the water falls we wanted to see as well as being within 20 minutes of numerous other spots we wanted to visit. Clean site and facilities

Disliked: Only downside is not being able to park next to your pitch but this really was a minor detail

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Lovely spot with great amenities, extremely clean toilets / showers . Great kitchen area which is really handy with a kettle, microwave, toaster and fridge freezer which is handy without any electric hook facility. The Pitches are on a slight slop but we didn't really find it an issue.

Disliked: Nothing , good value for money

Robert B. Aug 2024

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Location is great. Away from crowds of Whitby and with a lovely westward view over moors. Minutes walk to the waterfall in the woods. Surrounded by trees on both sides. Very clean and tidy. Good organisation. Clean amenity block.

Disliked: Site is sloping. Just a little bit more than desirable. Note that the owner has levelled off the land for pods, so would be nice to have the tent space terraced. Shower block is small. Ok whilst there were only five tents there, but that would be on the limit for high summer.

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).
