We had the most wonderful bank…
The Outpost bell tent
Liked We had the most wonderful bank holiday stay at this beautiful off-grid campsite near Whitby. The setting was so peaceful, with incredible views over Whitby Abbey, especially at sunset — absolutely stunning.
The wildlife was amazing too. We were lucky enough to see a barn owl and hear so many birds around the campsite including oyster catchers, curlews, wrens and meadow pipits. It felt completely immersed in nature.
Our tent was gorgeous, with such thoughtful decor and lovely little touches throughout. The bed was incredibly comfortable, with cosy throws and blankets, fairy lights inside and lanterns outside that made the evenings feel really magical.
We loved sitting around the campfire cooking food and relaxing under the stars. The honesty shop onsite was such a great idea too and really added to the friendly, trusting atmosphere.
Ed and Verity were fantastic hosts and it’s clear how much care, thoughtfulness and attention they’ve put into creating this special place. We’ll definitely be recommending it to others and can’t wait to return ourselves.

Great stay and location
Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked Fantastic view across Whitby Abbey, pitches spaced out across the field. Easy access to the ‘The Cinder Track’ for walking to Whitby/Robin Hoods Bay.
Disliked No dislikes to be honest, maybe have direction posts into field from both directions

If you’re after lots of facilities,…
Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked If you’re after lots of facilities, this site probably isn’t for you – but if you want peace, space, and incredible views, it’s an absolute hidden gem.
The location is so tranquil, with wide open views right across to Whitby and the Abbey. There’s a little honesty shop on site, plus a sink for washing up and a composting toilet (though we didn’t use these as we had our own in the van).
Another nice touch – the local chippy even delivers to the site!
We’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful break with stunning scenery.

We didn’t like anything about this…
Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked We didn’t like anything about this amazing site , we absolutely loved everything that Ed and Verity have at their lovely site.
The amazing views of Whitby from our camping pitch was like a dream and we could have stayed forever.
Ed and Verity are lovely people that nothing is to much trouble , they have a great honesty caravan , washing up facilities and you can even charge your phone or electric pumps etc ! Their homemade honey is exquisite.
If we could give them a rating of more than ten stars , 12/10 we would.
Excellent rates, amazing scenery and all you need to have for a wonderful holiday at a fantastic camping site which we will most definitely be visiting again and again.
Thank you so much for a wonderful week at your adorable campsite !
