Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Lovely views. Count less check in worked really well. Toilet block extremely clean. Kitchen provided with fridge, kettle, microwave.

Disliked: It would be better to have had the showers separate to the toilets but the actual facilities themselves were great.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: The view. Excellent amenities. Location near to Whitby and Robins Hood Bay.

Disliked: Shower far too hot in the evening. Children could not use and no way to adjust temp. The slope. Suggest you spend some winter time levelling the field

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Location, facilities - very warm showers with under floor heating. Great kitchen facilities with use of fridge/freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster and sinks.

Disliked: Field is slightly on a slope but if you get your beds into the right position it’s easily workable. Didn’t spoil our stay but just something you have to be mindful of when setting up your chairs etc.

Elizabeth L. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Friendly, very clean, fab facilities Lovely stay, very friendly and safe for small children to run around. Has a kitchenette with communal appliances. Toilets and showers kept to a very clean standard despite them getting unavoidably muddy regularly. Showers and water very hot. Views from any part of the site is beautiful. Perfect location to surrounding places eg Whitby. Falling foss waterfall was local enough for us to walk to with a 4 & 2 year old. Phone signal/ 4G was very good.

Disliked: Pitched on a slope which I will be more prepared for next time.

Rosanna H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Relax atmosphere. Beautiful location. Really liked that cars are not allowed on the site. It was really refreshing not to hear car doors slamming. Facilities were beautifully clean but would've preferred more. We saw the Northern lights after everyone else had gone to bed and what a stunning location it was to see them!! We visited Robin Hoods Bay and Whitby both short drives away. Really lovely site.

Disliked: The facilities. Only two toilet/shower rooms between the whole camp site. Which meant on one evening after a very hot day the showers were being used and we couldn't get in for a wee and waited for a long while. Would prefer for shower/ wash areas to be separate to toilets as I'll be honest it was a bit of a nightmare when there was 11 tents and it had been very hot and everyone wanted a shower in the evening you couldn't get in for a wee we actually had to walk to the forest for a tinkle which unfortunately wasn't ideal.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review Rosanna, we're glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Apologies for the lack of facilities, we are currently in the process of installing more toilets, closer to the camping field, that will be up and running for the summer.

Great stay to get outdoors

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).
