Sunset over robin hood's bay

  • Dog-friendly farm site one mile from Robin Hood's Bay
  • Walking distance from the beach, village and the Cleveland Way
  • Horses welcome; shops and restaurants nearby
Robin Hood’s Bay was once the stomping ground of smugglers, but you’ll be the new sharks about this place… you see, Farsyde Farm is only one mile from the beach and village, so you’ll be well-based for hunting down rockpools, ancient fossils and cobbled streets chock-full with independent shops, pubs and fish and chip shops. Plus, you’ll get to freestyle right onto the Cinder Track or Cleveland Way, as both trails are 10 minutes' walk away. More on that new den of yours… the peaceful Farsyde Farm is surrounded by the coast and countryside, and the large field spies over the grand Ravenscar cliffs, the countryside and the sea. When you’re not preoccupied with the views and splendid sunrises or sunsets, dark starry nights take over by night – just the thing after a day spent walking, mountain biking or following family trails locally. When it comes to getting your go-to snacks and meals, there’s no need to put the car into action either. The village and its well-stocked shops are 15 minutes’ walk away along the Cleveland Way. Of course, the beach might very well reel you in with its rockpools and fossils (just be sure to take care, especially with the kids). There are good facilities on site, including two flushing toilets, showers, a tap and a washing-up area. Those of you who have horses in your flock will be happy to find they’re welcome too, and guided rides are available. An added bonus is that this site is home to a flock of adorable Valais Blacknose sheep and a small herd of alpacas.

What customers say

Great views, awesome spot near Robin Hood's Bay. Lovely, quiet place with big spots and a warm welcome. Basic but clean facilities, good for a natural break. Some queues and farm animal noise, but mostly loved it, keen to come back.

Joy W.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked EVERYTHING!! What a great spot. Surrounded by beautiful countryside with the ocean on your doorstep. Lovely animals around. Great host. Lovely clean toilets. And a gorgeous friendly teddy bear of a dog. We were in a tent and there was loads of space, the field was level and you aren't far from the toilets even at the farm end of the field. They are lit up with lovely solar lights on a night so easy to see. It's what camping is all about. Perfect for us! 🥰will definately be back 🥰🥰

Disliked Nothing to dislike. Just a shame we weren't staying longer 😔

Unpowered concrete and grass motorhome site

Liked On late arrival the owner was so welcoming and friendly, all the facilities were spotlessly clean and lovely waking up to the cockerels and a stunning sunrise over the sea, best night of our week touring in the van. Had a lovely walk in the morning out of the camp to robin hoods bay and boggle hole, before the crowds arrived, perfect 👌.

Disliked As a note to others theres only one shower so would probably be busy in peak times but I wouldn't go then anyway so for our stay I didn't dislike anything apart from I would've loved to stay longer

Unpowered concrete and grass motorhome site

Liked Great, simple camping field. Very basic facilities but well maintained and friendly owner. Great location to Robin Hoods Bay & beach (10 min walk).

Disliked I loved the outdoir shower, but imagine in cold weather it would have been a different story. There were 2 toilets and 1 shower all well maintained but if the site was full more facilities would be needed.

Local attractions

So, where to get walking to? You’ll be going off-road on the 22-mile Cinder Track (10 minutes' walk). Depending on which way you go, Scarborough or Whitby could be your end destination… with the latter, you’ll be on track for the gothic-style Whitby Abbey (15 minutes' drive), and spooky it is, as the 13th-century abbey was the inspiration for the Dracula novel. The Cleveland Way (10 minutes' walk) is another cycling or walking route pretty much on your doorstep. It passes through Scarborough and Whitby too, as well the North York Moors and Saltburn-by-the-Sea – there are 109 miles, so you may want to be choosy about which section you go for. When you’re ready to rest your feet, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (25 minutes' drive) is right and ready for a steam railway trip, perhaps on one of the historic Pullman carriages. As for those of you who aren’t ready for the action-packed activities to end just yet, there are the zipwires and treetop obstacles at Go Ape Dalby (45 minutes) or wakeboarding, paddleboarding, kayaking and an aqua park at North Yorkshire Water Park (45 minutes).
