  • 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.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Great site, lovely host, amazing views and close to the waterfall. Facilities were clean and parking was easy.

Disliked Wheelbarrows monopolised by some campers as storage until the Sunday so they could carry things back easily, road in was uneven but manageable, children and dogs quite loud overnight.

Would definitely stay again

Disliked Pod decking would be great with a little gate but that's minor

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Stunning views

Disliked Only two indoor showers for the whole site, ran out of hot water one morning because everyone had showered

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review! I can only apologise for the lack of hot water; this was a temporary issue due to the boiler going off that morning - this was fixed by 12pm. There is usually ample hot water for everyone on site to have a hot shower in one of our four showers.

Great place. Would definitely recommend.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked The location is perfect for Whitby, Robins Hood’s bay and the fosse waterfall.
The facility’s were modern
Quiet and beautiful site

Disliked most pitch’s are small, when we arrived it was quiet full and we struggled to find a pitch that could fit our 6 man tent we had to pitch on a non flat incline that caused water to pool on our tent . Most flat pitches were the right size for a 4 man tent.
It felt like a perfect site for solo or couple hikers who just need a spot for the night.
The facility’s are nice and modern but with only 4 toilets available for all pitches and camping pods some evenings when the site was fuller it was difficult to get access the toilets.

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.

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).
