About the site


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. Dogs are welcome to join you on your stay. BBQs are welcome if raised off the ground, along with raised campfires. So bring your wood supply and marshmallows!

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 PitchJun 2025

I had a lovely two nights at this venue. It's just a 30-minute walk away from Robin Hood's Bay, and there's a direct path from the site. The owner was really friendly and helpful. The showers and toilets were spotless, and the view was absolutely beautiful. Just a heads up, it can be windy there, so make sure your tent is sturdy. Thanks a bunch, Bay Ness Farm!

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!
