  • 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

A cracking little spot, this one. Owners are easy to deal with, and the views are grouse, especially the Abbey. Good base for exploring Whitby and Robin Hood’s Bay. Pitches are a bit snug for some, and it’s BYO toilets/showers, but most reckon it’s worth it for the peace and quiet. A bit of road noise, but not a dealbreaker.

Frances N.

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked Love this place. It is clean and well-kept, with stunning views and excellent information on the pitch-up page. 11 am is a decent check-out time, and the site is so quiet, but with good basic amenities in a convenient place by the entrance gate. I have stayed here a couple of times now and will always return.

Disliked During both stays, I texted the owners, and on neither of the occasions did they get back to me.

Donald T.

Unpowered gravel caravan site

Liked This site is an absolute gem. It's close to Whitby and just off the main Scarborough to Whitby road. There is 1 hardstanding and the rest gravel pitches with electricity on some. Pitching up is easy, although there is a bit of a slope.
This site is about 10 minutes walk from the nearest pub, The Windmill. The Hare and Hounds in Hawsker is about 15 minutes walk. We didn't use either due to rubbish weather on the Saturday. The bus stop to Whitby is close by too. Again our plan to spend the day in Whitby was scuppered by poor weather.
We had an issue on the Friday when we arrived however the owner was really helpful and it got sorted straight away.

There is no shower or toilet block but that's not a problem.
This site is definitely one we will use again.

Liked Beautiful peaceful spot with incredible sunset. Small and quiet site. Immaculately clean. Right next to bus stop to Whitby or Robin Hoods Bay. Also next to the cinder track on which you can walk or bike into Whitby. Very easy check in - by text. Highly recommended and we’ll definitely use again.

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.
