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!

Bay Ness Farm is open from 26/04 to 28/09.

A note from the site themselves...

We are a family-run site with fantastic coastal views! We have been letting some areas return to nature for 20 years now, so there is plenty of wildlife for you to see. We also produce most of the electricity we use over the year.

Our site is quiet and secluded, we welcome couples and small families to our wonderful site.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchJul 2023

I've just returned home from four nights camping with my two young sons, which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Our stay started with a friendly welcome and we were able to pick our spot to set up camp. The facilities were perfect, clean and tidy and had everything we needed. The views were fantastic and it was a great base for a stroll into Robin Hood's Bay and a cycle ride to Whitby. We would definitely recommend the campsite and will definitely try to revisit in the future.

Fantastic location

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchMay 2023

Excellent site in a stunning location with open views across the sea and Robin Hoods Bay. Modern, clean and well maintained facilities. The site is very well located for Robin Hoods Bay, which is 20 minutes away and is mid way between Whitby and Scarborough. I will be returning and can recommend this as an excellent place to explore this stunning section of the Yorkshire Coast on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park.
