About Bay Ness Farm
Sun, sea, sand and sheep - this site sits perfectly above Robin Hood's Bay on a farm with breathtaking panoramic views of the sea and scenic countryside surrounding. Soak up the relaxed atmosphere and get back to nature in a location that's hard to beat. Tents, campervans and motorhomes are welcome on the site's 12 non electric grass pitches, each measuring 5m x 5m and welcoming up to two guests. The site is also a mere 25 minute walk from the famous Yorkshire bay, with views out over the boats bobbing below. The walk takes you along an old railway track to the coastline. Whitby is also just a 15 minute drive away, with a sandy beach and plenty of seaside attractions, it is a great destination for a day out. BBQs are welcome if raised off the ground along with raised campfires, so bring your wood supply and marshmallows!

Great stay with amazing views. The walk to Robin Hood's Bay takes around 20 minutes and the Grosvenor Hotel menu gets a big recommendation. Showers and toilets are functional and clean. Site was pretty much silent after 10pm which was very welcome. Will revisit.

Small site. Well off the road. Some electric hook ups that seemed to be for motorhomes and vans etc. Non electric pitches were large and had great views. Some closer to the cliff edge than others which were set back a little with a bit more protection from the winds. It was windy at the front but the payment for this was having great views! Offered the choice of pitches on arrival. Relatively quiet site, even on August school holidays as pitches are quite far apart and large. Owner pretty much left people to it, but was happy to chat if bumping into him around the site. Toilets were clean, although with a 'rustic' charm. Showers were like wet rooms with toilet, sink and shower in each of the four (I think?) cubicles. It was great to actually have some space to move around in, unlike some other campsites I've stayed at. Plenty of hanging space in cubicles too. There were two sinks for washing up. These were sheltered and clean. Had one day when there was a bit of a smell around the toilets from the septic tank, but otherwise it was fine. Great location for Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay.

Things to do on site and in the Whitby area
Strap your boots on and join the length of the incredible Cleveland Way on its 110-mile run from Helmsley to the Brigg at Filey, or take the gentle 25 minute walk down to the charming village of Robin's Hood Bay.
Here you can enjoy rock pooling, taking a dip in the sea or shell collecting. The famous fishing village also has plenty to explore inland with the National Trust Old Coastguard Station offering fascinating fossil exhibits, bird-watching spots and more!
Whitby is also just a 15 minute drive away, full of coastal charm. The sandy beach is perfect for days of soaking up the sun, or you can take a walk along the two piers stretching out to sea.
For something a bit different, visit during Whitby Goth Weekend. This alternative music festival transforms the area for the weekend, making it a spectacle of self-expression.
Other nearby attractions include:
- Whalebone Arch (15 minutes)
- Dracula Experience (15 minutes)
- 199 Steps (15 minutes)
- Sea Life Scarborough (30 minutes)
- Peasholm Park (35 minutes)
