  • 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.

What customers say

Stunning scenery, great for Whitby/Robin Hood's Bay. Falling Foss nearby. Facilities spotless. Lovely views, peaceful vibe. Sloping pitches a challenge for some, limited flat spots for big tents. Wi-Fi can be patchy. Manager updating facilities.

Liked Absolutely perfect location, stunning views and only a short drive to robin hoods bay or Whitby. Very clean bathrooms and lovely shared kitchen area, even a small food van to get breakfast buns and drinks.

Disliked Definitely pitch near the short wall if it’s windy, we leant the hard way when we woke up and almost lost the tent to the wind and rain!

Liked Everything was great. We were camping, and this offered any level of camping you like. (some glamping pods on site also). Nice clean toilets with running water. Clean showers and a kitchen with kettle, microwave, fridge and freezer. (and sockets for charging power banks)
Even Little coffee booth in a horsebox served by the lovely Brenda and we had a lovely chat about farming ☺️
The view was glorious also.
We will definitely be back 😍

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked The view was lovely, amenities were good and the coffee van was a nice touch.

Disliked We had a large tent and could only pitch up on the hill which made things quite difficult for us, especially with a toddler. We all ended up at the bottom of our beds. If there were more flat pitches it would have been perfect but hnfortbaly this did effect our stay

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).
