  • 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.

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 !

Liked Quiet pitches, relaxed. Honesty shop is such a great idea with a place to charge electronics if needed. We had a little fire pit in that area. Stunning views.

Disliked Shame there wasn't shower facilities for the tent campers or ability to wash hands properly as I have eczema so hand sanitiser only isnt very good for my skin.

Liked Coast and camplight was perfect! It was amazing location. You felt like you were in the middle of nowhere, so peaceful but 5 minutes away from the coast and sea.
The outdoor cooking facilities were amazing. Showers were good!
We caught the bus into Whitby and it was easy and manageable.
I would definitely recommend for couples.
So peaceful and relaxing!
We will definitely be returning!
Ed and Verity have made a coastal heaven!

Disliked Nothing!

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.
