Bent Rigg Farm Campsite Reviews

Our stay

Really nice campsite.

Peaceful, lovely sea view

Site was nice and peaceful on a working farm. Two very basic toilet sheds with a shed in the middle with freezer and charging points. There is a family size shower/toilet room which had plenty of hot water and a separate shower in a shepherds hut style building.

Camping virgins

Our first ever camping trip...had a lovely time.

Seaview and cuddles from farm cats

Booked this site along with my 2 children, 12yr and 8yr old boys in our campervan, Cliff. We had the choice of 2 available pitches when we arrived, so chose the one with the sea view. What could be better than opening the rear doors of your camper and seeing the sea? Just perfect! The pitches are huge, so plenty of space for Cliff and our awning. EHU at the pitch, and drinking water just nearby. The toilets and showers were clean, and chemical waste facilities too for those with facilities on board. On arrival we checked in at the little shop, which seemed to have a good selection of groceries and treats too. The owner was welcoming and gave us all the info we needed for our stay. Location wise, the site is around 20min from both Whitby and Scarborough, so great for exploring. The site was super quiet on an evening and throughout the night. We were lucky to be visited by the farm cats throughout our stay, and had plenty of cuddles both in our camper, and also whilst sitting outside on our camping chairs. I'd definitely recommend to families, couples, solo travellers and couples, and will book again.

Fantastic

Fantastic campsite.

Beautiful stay

Had a lovely time, so peaceful. Beautiful scenery and great location, the staff were lovely and friendly. Only thing that was wrong, was the queue for the toilets, with there only been 2 toilets. Other than that everything was perfect, so we definitely will be back xx

Site's response

Thank you so much for your kind words - we're delighted you enjoyed the peaceful scenery, lovely location, and our friendly team. We're sorry you experienced a wait for the toilets during your visit. Just to clarify, we do have 3 toilets available, but at busy times there can occasionally be a short queue. We really appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back soon! Thank you, Julie

Great location

The good. Beautiful location. Lovely view from camp field over sea. Quiet farm site friendly owners and cheap fees. No so good. Only two toilets, one male and one female. A new shed shower but cold as bottle gas had run out. One small sink for washing up. One outbuilding shower and toilet. Nothing clean if you are fussy about that. Not enough facilities for the people on the site at least 30 adults and 20 children in the camp field alone. Good job we had a camp toilet! We would stay again but in a quiet time and if hopefully the owners will invest more thought into the facilities. This could be a winning site!

Would visit again

Lovely site with great views and able to see the sunrise over the sea. Facilities basic, but clean and sufficient for a few days away.

Lovely farm stay, beautiful surroundings

Nice quiet location, stunning views. Working farm, lovely farm shop to buy burgers, bread, eggs, milk. Not far from Ravenscar. Not far from beautiful coastal beaches.

Fab campsite with incredible views

The most beautiful view across the sea. Facilities were good, hot showers and a shop open at convenient times. It was peaceful but in a lovely location and not long to get to Whitby. We also walked down to Robin Hood’s Bay to see the seals which was great! Fire pits are allowed which our son loved.

Lovely Campsite, great value for money

Lovely place lovely owners

Thank you the stay was great even tho it was a little windy but that added to the experience we will be back. Ant Jenna and Kaci.

Beautiful location.

Beautiful location with stunning sea views, with the rural fam feel that we loved. The kids especially loved the super friendly cats who came for frequent cuddles in our tent. The facilities were sufficient but there was often quite a wait for a shower or toilet being that there's only two on quite a large site.

Brilliant location for Scarborough, Whitby, Robin Hood Bay

The owner was very pleasant and helpful gave me a site map on check in. Only stayed one night. Bathroom was very clean. I wanted to stay another night but it was full. Really quiet and plenty of room. I loved the fact you could have a fire pit. Would definitely recommend. It's a bit windy but everything was perfect.

Loved our stay

Very good very peaceful, lovely people.

Great site

Lovely site with magnificent views. Clean toilets and showers. Limited number of people on the site which ensured plenty of space. Friendly owners.

Fabulous space

Big spacious quiet good location clean facilities and bonus shop and very helpful owner!

Third time here and will be back again

Nice surroundings and plenty of room. Thanks again!

Beautiful setting, campsite needs some attention

Thank god for the beautiful setting as this campsite would have been a big let down if it wasn't in such a scenic area. The previous nights, I stayed in a campsite which was £1 more expensive and the standard of facilities was incomparable, much cleaner and well equipped. The main frustration for me was there was no running hot water in the toilet or for dishwashing, not very hygienic.

Site's response

Thank you for your review, were glad you appreciated the stunning setting though were sorry to hear the rest of your stay didn't meet your expectations. To clarify our site does not currently provide hot water for dish washing, and we understand that may not suit everyone's needs. We'll revisit how clearly this is stated to help future guests make informed choices. That said we maintain high standards of cleanliness and hygiene within our rustic facilities and we regret that your experience didn't reflect that. Your comparison with other campsites is noted, and we'll continue working to improve where we can. We appreciate tour feedback - it helps us stay accountable and improve.

Lovely campsite

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ben Rigg Farm. Very spacious site with all the necessary amenities. Family friendly and very quiet. We had best nights sleep.

Happy days

Very nice stay on a real farm, happy days.

Few days away

This is a nice, small site which is nicely out of the way and quiet. Not the most extravagant site but great for a few days away to explore the area from.

Great no fuss camping

Had a great stay at Bent Rigg Farm. Went with another family with 4 children ages 2-5 and a dog. The space was ideal for kids to run around and be kids all looking out over an incredible sea view. They also loved the sheep, Highland Cow and friendly farm cats roaming around. The toilet and shower facilities are very basic outbuildings. The wet room was nice but there's only one so can be a bit of a wait. There is a 2nd shower but it has no light and the water was either freezing or boiling. But other than that the stay was brilliant and I'm sure we will back on a fine weekend! Thanks for having us!

Very cute

So great to have the little shop on site and amazing for our little boy to be able to see the animals so close. A bit more bin capacity would be perfect.

Our perfect campsite

With incredible sea views, friendly staff, and some very friendly cats, this campsite was everything we needed and more. All facilities were clean, the shop had everything we needed, and the general atmosphere was spot on. Thank you for a perfect stay and we cannot wait to come back!
