  • Peaceful off-grid site among woods and wildflowers
  • A 10-minute drive to Whitby or Robin Hood's Bay
  • Around a mile from two dog-friendly pubs; next to protected habitats
A wild setting with a wonderfully secluded feeling to it – North Yorkshire’s Coast and Camplight should be a nice pick for those who value peace, wildlife and being off the grid. Just three miles from Whitby and with lovely views down to the town, its abbey and the sea, this site has an ancient woodland on one side and wildflower fields on the other. Those protected habitats mean this place is teeming with wildlife – look out for the resident barn owls, along with deer, badgers, bats and all sorts of birds. To preserve that natural setting, no cars are allowed on site – you’ll leave your car at the gate and use a wheelbarrow to transport your kit (with someone on hand to help out if needed). The site is kind to the environment, with facilities like composting toilets and a water tap. It's also completely off-grid; there's no wifi and only intermittent phone signal – just the place for a digital detox. If you fancy heading out in search of food, there are two nice (and dog-friendly) pubs about a mile away, and a farm with homemade ice cream just under an hour's walk away.

Bell tent

Liked We stayed in the outpost from 21st-23rd July, Ed & Verity were amazing hosts and we had everything we needed and more!

One of our favourite parts of the site was the resident barn owls who are not shy and love to give a show especially in the field that we were in. The surrounding woods were amazing, we found more and more little nooks and crannies as we went on - treehouses, hammocks, lots of surprises and wildlife!

Inside the tent, the bed was really comfortable and it was well lit on a night with solar lights & fairy lights, even a lantern and torch for if we left the tent after dark. The kitchen had pots, pans, cups, glasses and all the utensils we needed along with a working fridge, a hob (even though we chose to use the fire to cook on) and running hot & cold water with a sink. We also enjoyed a refreshing shower in the separate bathroom!

We loved our stay and will definitely be returning to this spot!

Unpowered grass campervan or tent site

Liked 18th July-20th wild camping.

Worth every single penny!

Lovely owners who check in on their guests, and offer a lovely spot to pitch up. Also anything else you may need.

Tap and sink area to wash pots, and fill buckets, and a compost toilet in the field that is maintained and very clean.

One of the best things is that you are not limited to check ins and check outs, so if the weathers good before heading home, you can still relax and bob those pans on, with no worry of being off site at 11am. Very laid back.

Although you’re out in the country side, they have a lovely fully stocked honesty shop, stocked with everything you could think of. Even a fridge with milk and cans of fizzy drinks, also locally made ice cream 🍦

10 minutes from Robinhoods bay and Whitby.

Pitches are wide apart, in the long grass. No close neighbours and no noise from early risers, apart from the wood pigeons, or barn owls 🦉 ❤️

We will definitely be back again!

Thank you Coast and Camplight xx Keeley and Karl xx

Unpowered grass campervan or tent site

Liked The over grown field with the pitches cut into them, great for wildlife and sort of was more private. The host was excellent, very helpful and talkative. Barn owl visited the field many times during day hunting and comes quite close, fantastic. The view of Whitby Abbey from our site was great too

Disliked Not much to dislike really. We booked camping site and all was as we expected.

Local attractions

Start by taking a stroll to see your surroundings – there are lots of lovely walks from the site, and about a mile away you can link up with the Cinder Track, a disused railway line running to Whitby or Robin Hood’s Bay. You can also follow part of the Coast to Coast trail, which passes through the farm. A little beck in the woods is a nice place to cool off with a paddle when you return. Having seen Whitby from afar you’ll surely want to get down there to explore. If you're not walking, you can drive down there in about 10 minutes to visit the abbey, 199 Steps and Captain Cook Memorial Museum, wander through the historic streets and grab fish and chips on the beach. For more outings, Robin Hood’s Bay and Falling Foss Tea Garden are both 10 minutes’ drive away, and it’s a 20-minute drive to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway at Goathland.
