Bent Rigg Farm Campsite Reviews

Great Hideaway

It's a lovely spot with amazing views. The pitches are large and well spaced. The farm animals are friendly and the shop is well stocked. Its lovely and quiet too. These are the good points and I would have to give 5 stars for this. However, the entrance is quite narrow. The pitches are through a working farm yard, which to be honest is littered with farming stuff (mostly rotting and rusty) all over the place. I would certainly recommend a really good tidy up and a finding of homes for things. The toilet facilities are 1 x male WC, 1 x female WC and 1x unisex shower/WC., which considering the number of people camping is kind of alarming. My biggest gripe would be that the fresh water tap (x1) is not attached to anything and doubles up as the rinse for your chemical toilet. For the sake of a post in the ground and splitting the pipe off to have a separate one for the chemical disposal (pallet) enclosure. I know this site hasn't been open long, but I do feel that some attention to 'viewing things through customers eyes' is needed. I accept also that this is a busy and old fashioned working farm and I congratulate them for their endeavours in their diversification but until these things are sorted out, they will struggle to get regular or more caravan customers. Would I recommend - yes, but be aware of the shortcomings.

Brilliant

Brilliant stay, facilities very clean. Shop on site great for basic bits of shopping. Great location in between Whitby and Scarborough. Will be coming back again.

Wonderful stay at Bent Rigg. Really quiet site. Simple but clean facilities. Beautiful views and access to the Cleveland way and cinder path.

Thank you for your review Becky, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay.

Lovely setting

This is a working farm so expect the usual farm machinery and random bits and pieces around the place. If you prefer neat rows and an immaculate setting, this rustic site won't be for you. There is one large shower room - family size and two toilets. Once again these are very rustic but clean and serviceable. The views out to see are lovely. We would definitely return.

Back to basics

A lovely quiet farm campsite. Small and welcoming. Lovely views over the fields to the north sea, but this does mean it can be windy!. A variety of cows, sheep, horses and cats around the site. Limited number of pitches so it stays quiet. Lovely dark skies. Facilities are clean, but basic. Two toilets and a shower room with toilet and basin. Small campsite shop, fire pits and logs to hire. 10 minute walk to Ravenscar, but not much there facilities wise, so you need to take things with you, or drive into Whitby or Scarborough. Great walks/cycling from the campsite

Really nice site and good value for money. Only one shower room which is the only downside.

110% recommend, plenty facilities and lovely staff

Stayed here for 1 night booked a couple of days in advance with quick confirmation and very fair prices. We were greeted by a lovely lady who had a handy map and showed up where everything was. Fields are in great condition and well looked after. The farm animals including the cats are affectionate and friendly. Toilets, showers, outdoors tap and sink all very clean. The onsite shop has the very basics but beyond reasonable prices. Fire pits and logs available priced per night from the shop. We spoke with another lovely lady who worked for the farm (sorry, didn't catch her name) who showed us a mother and calf in the barn & some of the sheep waiting to lamb, very friendly and such a laugh. Really cannot fault this place and we will be back soon again, lovely atmosphere amongst everyone here. Can't ask for much more really :)

1 night tent stay

We had a good time camping here, our dog had plenty of room to play, the electric pitches have an ok amount of space between them. Had all the basic facilities you need, toilets, showers, microwave, fridge and little shop too! We stayed right next to the house as this was the only pitch left, so next time we would get there a little earlier to avoid this. We would recommend for a 1 or 2 night stay.

Fabulous Holiday Home stay in Ravenscar

Just stayed in the newly installed holiday home, Barbriar, on Bent Rigg Farm Campsite. We've loved our stay and will return. Loved - the views, walking locally, sitting on our patio area with firepit. Loved the carefully thought out local area guide. We went as a couple but will return with grandchildren as plenty of space - en suite plus bathroom and 2 bedrooms. Board games were a nice touch and fast WIFI. Appreciated the well equipped kitchen. The fantastic views from the lounge were so enjoyable. We almost didn't want to go out! Loved our stay on this friendly working farm and our helpful hosts.

Camper first timers

Great welcome from the hosts. Campsite was ideally situated for us and the toilets/showers were always clean and tidy.

Thank you Rhys for your review, we like to welcome people and are happy to help wherever we can.

Amazing night away!

We went for a spontaneous camping trip and so glad we found this place. For the great, cheap price, you get the amazing view, a spacious shower that has lovely hot water, a communal microwave and fridge/freezer, a toilet block and a shop with essentials (milk, meat, breakfast cereals, logs, firelighters). We hired a firepit for the night which was only £5. You're surrounded by sheep and horses, the site is quiet. Whitby is a 15-20 mine drive and so is Scarborough. Honestly, we had the best night away and have no complaints, we will be back!

Thank you Ellis for your review and lovely description of our campsite. Hope to see you again soon.

Cute

Bent Rigg Farm is cute. It's in a cute little village called Ravenscar. The facilities are just what I needed; a toilet, sink and clean water. The owner is lovely and responded to my call the morning after I left the message. It reminded me of sleepovers in my friend's back yards.
