  • 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 small, intimate campsite is praised for its stunning rural location, offering beautiful views and a relaxed atmosphere. Visitors consistently highlight the excellent, clean facilities, including well-equipped kitchen areas with microwaves and fridges. The site is conveniently located for walks, including a short distance to Falling Foss waterfall, and is also a good base for exploring Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay. While many found the pitches and facilities superb, some noted that pitches can be sloped and that shower pressure could be improved. The separation of car parking from pitches was also mentioned as a minor inconvenience.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Everything. Very clean facilities. Great view over the valley. Fab alround. Just what I wanted.

Disliked Not a dislike more a suggestion. Collecting grass cuttings makes for a much cleaner tent....less cleaning.

Jade M.

Camping pod

Liked The view was amazing
The pod was a great size.
There was a microwave and heater fitted,
there was separate very clean toilets for the pods and lower part of the site, which was great as the bank to the showers/kitchen was a leg workout !!
The showers and kitchen were nice and clean. There was a shared fridge including a kettle and toaster in the kitchen.
There is a little communal garden with a BBQ that can be used also.
You are also in walking distance of Falling Foss waterfall and tea rooms.

Disliked Only small - a dust pan and brush in the pod would be a great asset.

Good place to stay near Coast to Coast, if a bit expensive.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Lovely spot and liked the fact it was signposted on the Coast to Coast Path route (otherwise I wouldn't have known it was there). Camping field was nice and level. Instructions for check in good. Facilities quite good - nice, well-equipped kitchen. Clean toilets and shower room

Disliked A bit expensive (compared to most other places) at £25 a night for a solo camper with small tent. Shower wasn't very powerful and took a long while to warm up.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Shower block and kitchen facilities, really handy having acess to a shared fridge, toaster and microwave. Loved the location and how small and intimate it was.

Disliked Not being able to park near the tent was a bit of a pain but I understand why.

Victoria H.

Camping pod

Liked The pod was very spacious and clean, the view at sunset was stunning, the campsite was quiet. The kitchen was clean. The surrounding area was very lovely with the waterfall and cafe so close.

Disliked The showers were woeful, no more than a dribble very difficult to actually shower. The window in our pod had no blind. A stove in the kitchen would be useful.

Specific to Hazel pod but it seemed silly to have to walk all the way out of our pod and round to the showers when they're so close, there should make a little gate or cut through.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The views are great, the location is great for walks also a short drive to Whitby

Disliked Not been able to park your car at the side of the tent, but it’s not the end of the world, it is on a slope but that’s the compromise for the great view

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).
