Sunset over robin hood's bay

  • Dog-friendly farm site one mile from Robin Hood's Bay
  • Walking distance from the beach, village and the Cleveland Way
  • Horses welcome; shops and restaurants nearby
Robin Hood’s Bay was once the stomping ground of smugglers, but you’ll be the new sharks about this place… you see, Farsyde Farm is only one mile from the beach and village, so you’ll be well-based for hunting down rockpools, ancient fossils and cobbled streets chock-full with independent shops, pubs and fish and chip shops. Plus, you’ll get to freestyle right onto the Cinder Track or Cleveland Way, as both trails are 10 minutes' walk away. More on that new den of yours… the peaceful Farsyde Farm is surrounded by the coast and countryside, and the large field spies over the grand Ravenscar cliffs, the countryside and the sea. When you’re not preoccupied with the views and splendid sunrises or sunsets, dark starry nights take over by night – just the thing after a day spent walking, mountain biking or following family trails locally. When it comes to getting your go-to snacks and meals, there’s no need to put the car into action either. The village and its well-stocked shops are 15 minutes’ walk away along the Cleveland Way. Of course, the beach might very well reel you in with its rockpools and fossils (just be sure to take care, especially with the kids). There are good facilities on site, including two flushing toilets, showers, a tap and a washing-up area. Those of you who have horses in your flock will be happy to find they’re welcome too, and guided rides are available. An added bonus is that this site is home to a flock of adorable Valais Blacknose sheep and a small herd of alpacas.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The space on the pitches was great, not crammed in at all, plenty of room around. Liked the fact that the site was quiet on a night, even with young children we still like to have peace and quiet after 9pm. Site in a gorgeous location and staff friendly and helpful.

Disliked Paying £1 for a shower, never come across this before on a campsite, having paid for the site £85 for 2 nights, I would think this includes a shower. Not a big issue, just not seen this before.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The shower, toilets and washing area. The views were lovely.

Disliked Unfortunately able to hear a very loud snorer despite distance. But that can’t be helped.

I think it could be slightly cheaper for single tent only campers.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The location was absolutely fantastic. Close to trails down town and to local beaches right out the front door. The bathrooms are clean and effective. The shower was clean with good water pressure. We bought fresh eggs for 2 pounds on the honor system. Heidi was very accommodating and a lovely host

Primitive cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked Against hedge with view of cows

Disliked Been told not to walk our dog in the field and to take off site for walks and unable to drive between 10pm and morning. Unable to drink on site as it would be illegal to drive to take dog out.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We don't have a view of cows or pitches against a hedge. So I suggest you remove this remove as you have got the campsite.

Nice relaxed campsite with simple but clean facilities.

Rob J.

Primitive cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked No set pitches, lovely site. Toilet facilities were good with proper flushing toilets, shower, washing up sink, all cleaned and restocked constantly.
Animals to look at in surrounding fields, hearing chickens and peacocks calls really added to the country farm atmosphere.
15 min walk down to Robin Hood bay was convenient, although there are a lot of steps.

Disliked Didn't dislike anything.

Local attractions

So, where to get walking to? You’ll be going off-road on the 22-mile Cinder Track (10 minutes' walk). Depending on which way you go, Scarborough or Whitby could be your end destination… with the latter, you’ll be on track for the gothic-style Whitby Abbey (15 minutes' drive), and spooky it is, as the 13th-century abbey was the inspiration for the Dracula novel. The Cleveland Way (10 minutes' walk) is another cycling or walking route pretty much on your doorstep. It passes through Scarborough and Whitby too, as well the North York Moors and Saltburn-by-the-Sea – there are 109 miles, so you may want to be choosy about which section you go for. When you’re ready to rest your feet, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (25 minutes' drive) is right and ready for a steam railway trip, perhaps on one of the historic Pullman carriages. As for those of you who aren’t ready for the action-packed activities to end just yet, there are the zipwires and treetop obstacles at Go Ape Dalby (45 minutes) or wakeboarding, paddleboarding, kayaking and an aqua park at North Yorkshire Water Park (45 minutes).
