 I enjoyed this site. A little off the beaten track, by car handy for exploring Robin Hood's Bay, Whitby and Pickering areas. Lots of Moors walks close by.
There is a choice of several fields, not difficult to find a flat spot. Closer or further from flushing loos and showers depending on where you choose. Additional water taps available. The village above, Goathland, is the TV's 'Heartbeat' village with some quirky features and sheep wandering around freely.
This is not an 'all mod cons' site but I found the facilities adequate and appreciated the clean, hot showers. Good value pitch fee for a solo traveller. Take a torch - it's a rural site(no street lighting)!
There was a big group of families with children when I was there and they seemed to be having a great time in all the open space.

This site is primitive to say the least.
Three large grass fields, some parts fairly flat.
The toilets and sink in the top field are disgraceful. Two toilets in a shack and a sink with cold water only. The shower block near the reception is a good ten minute walk. Hit and miss if there is hot water.
The walk to the village is down a long lane 10 to 15 minutes, unlit.
Will not be returning.

What a lovely site - met up with 5 lots of friends and had the paddock to ourselves - great place to visit -
Goathland really is something else - the night skies are fantastic - a steam train came past the site every 45 minutes or so and made for a good competition to see who could guess if it was going to be the green one or the black one.
Dont forget your midgie spray if you're staying on the paddock as there is a stream than runs all around it so lots of flies -
I imagine the rest of the site would have been ok though -
Would defo visit again !

First camping trip in over 10 years was here, we were a large group of friends with children age range 5-18.
A very basic site but we had the best time. Plenty of room to pitch without feeling cramped. The children had ample room to play and explore without bothering other campers.
The trek to the loo was interesting! It was quite a walk out of the and field down a track, a bit spooky in the middle of the night. The weather wasn’t the best but camping is what you make it so we enjoyed it. I would definitely revisit.

The site not well signposted is about half a mile along the old (and bumpy) railway track. It is ideal though if you want a site close to the village and it's a pleasant walk on a summer evening down the track to reach it.
The facilities are dated and not clean, no hot water, no lights and either on the main field or a long walk to the farmhouse.
During our stay most dogs were exercised on site off lead and would run up to our dogs (on leads). We didn't feel comfortable about this as you don't know if they will be aggressive.
On the field next to us there was a group of very noisy families in tents, who on their first night were shouting at/to each other until 1. 30am
The site fees of £29 per night for 3 adults and 2 dogs with no electric seemed high.

Philpin Farm Campsite - Yorkshire Dales
Beautiful tent only site set on a family run hill farm in the Yorkshire Dales, nestled between Ingleborough and Whernside. The Three Peaks footpath runs right through the farm adjacent to the campsite with lots of walks direct from the site from easy strolls to climbing the Three Peaks, and five minutes to the pub!
Tent pitches only, no electric hookups. Toilet and shower block and washing up facilities. Sit, eat and socialise in the old barn, with free wifi, charging lockers, freezer. At weekends the Philpin Snack bar is open for cooked breakfasts, hot and cold snacks and drinks, ice creams, chocolates etc, on other days there are vending machines in the barn. Find out more here

Beautiful location.
The site was difficult to get to. 25% down and up hill roads approach this site. Sign outside not very clear and with tourists everywhere and no turning points, it was just up a mountain to the main road to try again. Clearer signage would be very helpful. Or clearer directions.
Very long single dirt track, full of pot holes and very rough ride.
in a valley so no telephone, mobile, internet or TV. Not a problem for me.
The toilets, washing up facilities and showers were unkept, old, dated and looked dirty. Holes in the roof, no hand soap or drying facilities when you had used the loo.
Not recommended to stay. £22 a night was very expensive for 2 people with electric hook up.
The only reason we stayed the 3 nights was because I had paid in full.

We known the area really well and have visited Goathland many times but decided to camp there this time.
The site is in a fantastic location, it truly is a shame that the site does not offer better facilities. The two toilets in the top field for the campers were so run down it was unacceptable considering the cost per person and electric, I could find no light? They had no hot water nor did the washing pot area?? They did not look clean at all.
The showers were a long walk down a track and so very tired looking and felt they needed a deep clean.
Considering the tariff for the site no money seems to be being spent on the facilities.
Dog friendly though and seemed laid back which is nice as some sites have to many rules.

Owners very friendly and helpful and let us pitch in the yard as they had had a lot of rain. Great view of the railway line, plenty of waving at trains. Great location for goathland, 15 min walk down a flat track. Camping fields looked good. However the showers are very tired looking. The basins and loos were kept clean, but definitely ready for a makeover, just rough concrete flooring too. The road is still quite bumpy for a caravan as well. I think £21 per night is a little high for 2 people and a hook up for a caravan.

Last half term we took a very welcome break from the electronic world and all its intrusions, and returned for a blissfully happy few days to Abbots House Farm on the North Yorkshire Moors, a campsite with clean, basic amenities (loos and hot showers) along a beautiful drive, right in the place where the television series Heartbeat was filmed. Goathland has retained its latterday charm and a walk into the village from the site sees you navigating wandering sheep, roaming free wherever they choose. It’s about as picturesque as you can get.
Our field was entirely empty apart from us. We set up camp with three hikers’ tents and a tarp, under which we constructed the fire pit barbecue where we cooked our suppers every night. And along the bottom of the field ran the old steam railway with half-hourly trains providing plenty of waving opportunity for the children.
No screens, no social media, no intrusion… we even had a visiting squirrel allow us to feed and stroke it.
Other than a 100-mile stint on the Pennine Way before my youngest was born, I don’t think I’ve felt happier or freer.
Our beloved Teddy was diagnosed with autism back in 2012 and camping and hiking are just perfect for him. This place was just right.
I'm looking forward to the pitch and stitch event coming up in September, combining two of my favourite things: knitting and camping :)

I stayed here over Easter and again a few weeks later with my family. Ignore all previous comments about the access track its now been transformed with no potholes! Fantastic camp site with stunning views and very peaceful! There is plenty of space between pitches so you don't feel squashed in.
