Very well sign posted. Clean toilet block, friendly staff. The surrounding area is great and has a bus route running within 5 mins walk from the site, with buses to Scarborough or whitby; don't expect to get a seat on Saturday morning going towards Scarborough though! it gets very busy as we found out. The Fylingdales Hotel is very good and located about 5 mins walk away; the food is great and they do good beer (theakstons hand pulled ales). Nice walks down to robin hoods bay are available, either along the roads or using footpaths across the countryside.
Negatives centre around noise at night, twice now I've been woken up on this site by people in adjacent tents making telephone calls to friends in the early hours (2.30 on this occasion). Unfortunately if some one chooses to do this there isn't much the site staff can do, however putting more distance between tents would be a start!
That said, we probably wouldn't have got a space if they'd limited the tent spaces, so I'd recommend camping here definitely, but take some ear plugs just in case you end up next to an idiot!
We arrived on the Friday afternoon & stayed 4 days. After reading their website, we were slightly disappointed. The warden directed us to pitch no.4 with EHU. The pitch wasn't deep enough & a little small, therefore we had to pitch side on. We have Outwell Minnesota 6 with extension.
Our pitch was behind a house & it felt like we were in someone’s back garden. On the 2nd day the old lady that lived in the house spoke to us from over the fence and said we'd encroached on to the next pitch (which we hadn’t). She told us we'd have to move our tent when the occupants of pitch 5 arrived! The lady wasn't very friendly and we felt we were being watched during our stay. After speaking with our neighbours on pitches 5 & 6 that arrived the day after we’d had our telling-off, it was apparent they'd had the same treatment.
We paid £29.50 per night for 2 adults, 2 kids, 1 dog. Very pricey & we didn't get to use the electric much because it kept tripping out. Pitches 4-6 have 10 amp trip switches but the main trip switch is only 10 amp, not 30 or over. This meant the electric tripped out when 2 or more pitches wanted to use their kettle at the same time.
After speaking with reception we got the impression that although we’d paid for electric, we weren’t really supposed to use it. Both mens & ladies shower / toilet blocks very clean & looked quite new. 3 showers in the ladies, 4 in the mens.
We didn’t queue for showers as we were up early, but queues were forming by 7.30am. Good hairdryer in the ladies which charged 20p. Showers were powerful but the water temperature fluctuated and was very cold at times.
Plenty of toilets & sinks. Washing up area was adequate. Small play area for kids which did get quite busy.
Overall an okay-ish-site, with flat pitches & only 10 minute walk to the beach. RHB is great for rock pooling & the kids loved it. The best thing about the site is the location and that’s what you pay for. In our opinion this is not 5 star.
Just returned from a two night stay at Middlewood and was very impressed and would certainly go back.
Great location in Robin Hood's Bay. The short 10 minute walk is steep coming back uphill but is well worth it.
Site is well sign posted coming from Whitby and we had no trouble at all finding it.
All the staff on reception were really friendly and helpful.
Facility to hire ice blocks £1 deposit and 30p per freeze - cannot take your own to be refrozen - was really useful.
When we arrived on the Thursday there were two fields with tents, and then on Friday two more fields filled up quickly with more tents.
Small children's play area gets very busy but there is lots of space for them to play in the fields.
Coastal path to Whitby is aprox 7 miles and took us 3 hours. It is very steep in places though so not for the faint hearted. The railway path is a lot gentler on the legs!
Just come back from a weeks camping, great location for Robin Hoods Bay, good pub and little shop in village. Very busy site and tents to tightly packed for my liking, playground for kids but not really suitable for smaller children due to it being busy also no open space for kids to run around. Toilet block was fine but I had to complain 3 times about the showers and my wife complained once, tepid temperature and they suddenly went cold half way through the shower, not good when showering little ones. Overall a good site but could be better if the tents were not packed in as much and the showers were sorted out.
Just come back from a three night stay at Middlewood Farm, our first time there, will definitely return.
The facilities were very good, always kept clean. Two hair driers for the ladies and two plug sockets all included in the price. I never had to queue for the showers having said that I did get up early, around 8.30am it began to get busy but it is a large camp site. Friday's do get busy but wasn't off putting.
There was a play area for the kid's and a footpath straight into Robin Hood's Bay which was about a 10 minute walk came out opposite fish shop.
Fylingthorpe is a lovely village with a good pub serving excellent food.
Just returned from a 2 night stay, arrived Friday morning no problems booking in and was shown by a warden where to pitch, we were put in the Top Field, by teatime the field was full.
The toilet block was close by but you did have to pick your time. From early morning on Saturday till 11ish the queues were long for toilets and showers, again around teatime you couldn't even get in the toilets for the amount of people queueing.
There really isn't enough facilities to accommodate the amount of pitches on site. The views from the site and Robin Hoods Bay are stunning but would only return during midweek when the site is quieter and more able to cope.
Middlewood farm Fylingthorpe (we came from A171 Whitby road) is well signposted (the approach road coming from Scarborough is a better road for larger units)
We had a friendly and most helpful reception.
The centrally located shower block was first class, with sensor activated showers, for additional cost and indulgence there is a bathroom. All other facilities are close to hand.
Flat hard standing pitches, electric hook ups.
A 10 minute+ walk to robin hood's bay, a real treat
Just returned from 4 nights at this site. Thought it was fab. Staff friendly, washrooms great. Walk to shop, park, decent (if a little expensive) pub with great kids play area & not forgetting walk to beach.
Bit of a shock to the system with our 2 pre schoolers when the hoards arrived on Friday but very well organised pitching by owners/site team and everyone extremely friendly. The Friday night was our first experience of busy peak time camping and we weren't put off which says a lot.
Pre-booked 2 x EHU pitched adjacent for my family (2 adults, 2 infants) and my brother family (2 adults, 1 child, 1 teenager and a dog), we arrived early on the Friday and were virtually the first people to pitch, on a very windy and wet bank holiday.
Pitches were flat and none were too far to toilet/shower block which was clean. Never had to queue myself but on walking out of shower one morning there was a little queue, 2 hairdryers, free of charge. Also found the baby room useful for bathing our 1 yr old. Washing up facilities also useful and posted adjacent to notice board, for local info.
Site filled up very quickly and it was bit tight getting our car in front of our 6 berth Vango orchy tent.
We didn't use the food van on site but it did seem very popular.
No shop on site, but local shop is only short walk away.
We walked down into RHB, easy enough and with a pushchair, few rough bits but not too bad at all. 15 min drive into Whitby.
God little children's play area, but always very busy since was BH, perhaps not big enough for the site.
Appears its a very popular site, we did book about 6 weeks in advance and were told we'd got 2 of the last 3 pitches. Would return but would perhaps avoid the BH next time.
Great potential, shame the facilities were just not sufficient for the number of tents. Queues of at least 5 people each morning for the showers even though I tried a number of times between 7am and 8.30. Not enough basins and mirrors either. There was even a big queue for washing up.
If you are in the top field it is quite a distance to the facilities, particularly on a wet night! I felt that it was rather pricey for the relatively basic facilities.
The site itself is however in a beautiful setting. No light pollution and a pretty walk to the beach. Staff on reception were friendly and helpful.
Stayed one night late July. Had called in in June to enquire about booking in for 6 cycle campers for the next month. Was told they would not take bookings but if we rang early on the day we were to arrive space for our 3 small tents would be reserved.
We rang in the morning of our arrival day and were told we must arrive before 5pm to get a pitch, a bit of a problem as generally we schedule for 7.
I cycled on ahead of my party to get there for the requested time. The men in the office were efficient took £48 and one then took me some distance through a very busy camping field to find a space. Eventually a small area was found and I quickly set up one tent and shot off back along the route to help the others.
One young member of our party had fallen from his bike and therefore had to go to hospital for treatment and a checkup. A a result both he and his dad had to check into a hotel for the night.
I returned to the others and set up the other small tent and then asked the wardens about a refund for the 2 not staying, he just laughed. Hmmm! Not on really as we were together taking less space than a general tent pitch.
The site was extremely busy but the tents surrounding us had young families with well behaved children who did not need to party all night. Many thanks to them all.
This site is in a wonderfull location though is used a a money pump. If I go again I will try to get as far away from the centre as possible, just to ensure a decent nights sleep.
It’s difficult not to just repeat what others have said about this site in other reviews.
When we arrived, we reported to Reception, where I was given a welcome sheet and shown on the map where to find our pitch. The chap I was speaking to then radioed the Warden so he could meet us there and advise us on where / how to pitch.
The facilities on the site really are first rate, too. We were in the caravan field, as we had chosen to have an electric hook up to our pitch. We found that our extension lead was a little bit too short to reach the electric points (as it was only 15m), but I was able to rent one from Reception for a refundable £30 deposit.
The toilets / showers are accessed by a simple code lock on the door (the code is written on the welcome sheet you are given when you arrive) and were clean and tidy throughout our stay, with us only having to queue once when it was busy. We were on pitch 23, which is right across from the toilets / showers / washing up facilities / water points, so this really wasn’t an issue for us. It also meant that we could keep our dog on his lead outside our tent while we did the washing up and he was only about 10m away from us and in constant sight.
The other thing I need to mention as far as facilities go, is ‘The Great Griddler’ which is the takeaway van-thing on site. This is open in the mornings for breakfast and again in the evening for dinner (07:30-10:30 then 16:30-20:30, I think it was). The choice of food is great, they even offer a selection of homemade dishes in the evenings. I had the 16oz Rump steak with chips, onions rings, tomatoes and mushrooms (for only £10.50) and my partner had their homemade chicken curry with rice, mango chutney and Naan bread for only £6.00. Bargain, I thought! The lady who was running the van was really nice, too, and our dog became her best friend when she’d given him some doggy treats when we went to get the menu.
The location of this site is also brilliant. It’s only 20 mins drive to Whitby (where we spent some of the time on the Saturday) and only ten minutes walk from the beautiful Robin Hood’s Bay down the site’s own access path. This is through a field of cows, so you need to make sure you keep your dogs under control.
On the subject of dogs, they are more than welcome here and your best friend will no doubt make new friends, as ours did, while you are there. The pubs in RHB all seem to be dog friendly, especially the Bay Hotel. There’s not really anywhere on the site where you can ‘let them off’ for a run around off lead, but there was a dog walk a few minutes walk away from the site.
The great location, facilities, friendly staff and overall laid back and relaxing atmosphere of this site make it one of the best I’ve been to in a while. I’d definitely recommend this site to anyone, especially if you have a dog.
We’re planning on going back again, soon, and maybe staying in one of their static caravans that they have for hire.
Jekyll and Hyde of a campsite! We visited this site for 4 nights from Wednesday to Sunday. Arriving on the Wednesday we had a good choice of pitches to choose from and picked a spot with fantastic views and plenty of space!
The first 2 nights we found the site really peaceful and stress free with ample showers and toilets of a very good standard! As the weekend arrived though the site shows its other side! Cramming far too many tents on to the main field which also results in very busy toilet blocks! We will return to this site but only during the week!
The Victoria hotel at the top of robin hoods bay is one to avoid! beautiful views but we received very poor service when we ordered food and the manager was extremely rude and unprofessional.
Overall though we had a great time and the site is a perfect location for visiting places in the area.
It is the location that makes this site - situated in the lovely village of Fylingthorpe, adjacent to Robin Hoods Bay. RHB is about 15 minutes stroll away, there are cracking sea views from just beyond the site and an old railway track bed provides perfect walks along the coast. In addition there is a handy village store and pub about five mins walk away - both recommended.
The location is so perfect, it perhaps does mask one or two limitations of the site. It was very crowded upon our visit and our motorhome was squeezed in next to a small car park and tent. Also the smell was rather ripe - but hey, its a farm after all.
When we inspected the caravan field - again this looked a little cramped. At £26 for one night (four people, one motorhome) not cheap either. However, the facilities are good - excellent toilet block and the usual washing up, reception, etc. The site also does take away food, although we didn't try this.
All in all a pleasant stay in a wonderful location and will probably return, although not during the busy summer season.
We stayed here for 4 days and thought the site was very good. We were shown to our pitch by the warden who told us how they liked the tents to be positioned, unfortunately we were unable to park our car in front of our tent as it only just fitted on to the pitch (with the windbreak on).
The toilet/shower blocks are the best we have seen, always clean with plenty of hooks to hang your stuff. The addition of a folding seat in the shower cubicle is great for sitting toddlers on or to place your clothes on whilst showering. A mop and bucket is provided so that you can mop the floor after you have showered which meant they were always clean. Free hairdryers what a first! and piped local radio 24/7 was quite a nice addition.
Washing up area very good with information on local attractions and plate racks provided. We were on main field with ehu and the pitches were level. Would not really want to be on the family field next to the working farm as at times it could be rather smelly.
The 10 minute walk to Robin Hood Bay was very nice though somewhat steep. The 'Griddler' was a great idea for those who didn't want to cook or go out for tea, the food was very nice and priced competitively. Open most evenings and food cooked to order.
The local pub was nice but the food was not as nice as I had expected for the price, but it may have just been an off day. Stunning views as you approach the village but not sea views from the park itself. Whitby worth a visit and only 6 miles away. Overall a nice site would recommend

Very well sign posted. Clean toilet block, friendly staff. The surrounding area is great and has a bus route running within 5 mins walk from the site, with buses to Scarborough or whitby; don't expect to get a seat on Saturday morning going towards Scarborough though! it gets very busy as we found out. The Fylingdales Hotel is very good and located about 5 mins walk away; the food is great and they do good beer (theakstons hand pulled ales). Nice walks down to robin hoods bay are available, either along the roads or using footpaths across the countryside.
