Reviewer: Ttwff 11 reviews from this member

 Ended up here after doing the coast to coast in the summer and wanting to relax and chill after a long hike this was not a ideal campsite. It was very loud think its more of a family campsite so not ideal place to chill. I found it unfriendly and over priced for a backpacker with no car.

There are showers, toilets, sinks, Washing and drying machines, All of which was very clean but that's not every think. There was nothing special about the place ok I guess if your a family.

 Just back from our 2nd 3 night break at this site and have booked to go again in 2 weeks time. On arrival the staff in reception are pleasant and helpful and the warden helps you to site your caravan if necessary. Toilet block and showers very clean with hot water.

Very busy with both tents and caravans but incredibly well organised on all levels.

Washing up facilities excellent.

I have 2 energetic Labradors who love water and this is a perfect site for them. Great walk into the Bay and easy access to beach.

Had one meal in The Bay Hotel which was very good and reasonably priced.

No complaints at all but would advise a long electric hook up cable ( as can be far away from point ) and hard standing pegs if you have an awning, metal ones took forever to get in.

This break helped by superb weather.

 Visited this site in the Easter Holidays, and with only a couple of days notice we got a booking, which surprised me as practically every other campsite in the area was fully booked.

The site seemed a little pricey (£23/night with electric hookup) but the facilities were clean and the site well-kept. There were hot showers available for free, which shut off after five minutes but we discovered (whilst getting dry, naturally) that after 3mins the motion sensor resets and if you move towards the shower, it starts again - moral of the story is, don't stand under the shower whilst getting dried.

The toilets were very clean, well lit and had free hairdryers etc in the block. Washing-up facilities were generally clean, although some campers seemed to forget that it's only good manners to clean up your mess in the bottom of the sink and not leave it for the next person to do.

We were in the field furthest away from the entrance, which was very peaceful and didn't get too much traffic. The family field seemed very crowded and we were glad we didn't get put in there. When we arrived it seemed they had been reseeding some of the pitches and they asked us to move a bit further out than we should have been, which was more than a stretch for our electric cable. Site staff offered to hire us a longer lead, for a deposit of £30 - although I sympathised with the need for a deposit, I wasn't too happy about this as neither of us had enough cash on us to pay for this, as we had no prior warning that this would be needed. Fortunately we came to an arrangement where we moved a bit closer, which meant we could use our own lead.

The site was generally quiet apart from the building noise in the field right next door - it started very early, and spoiled the 'sounds of nature' you normally get from early mornings in a tent. This may have stopped by now though, and apart from that we had no complaints.

The site has a small children's' play area but it's not very large - although we went out for plenty of long walks (didn't manage to catch Boggle Hole with the tide out though!) the play area would have been good for evenings, but it wasn't really very engaging, I'd like to see some improvements here when we go back.

Surrounding area very beautiful - lovely long walks, although the short cut across the fields to RHB shown on the website is officially closed til August due to a landslide. Robin Hoods Bay is very picturesque, although to call the beach 'rugged' is an understatement!

Don't leave without trying some of the lovely icecreams from the van on the beach, and the gorgeous fish and chips from the shop just around the corner. For some decent paddling we'd recommend another beach, Whitby's very close, Scarborough not much further, but RBH isn't really great. Having said that, it's worth investing in a net and rockpooling - watch for the tide though, it really does move remarkably fast and could cut you off very easily I'd imagine.

Overall a very pleasant holiday from a lovely little site - incidentally, if you don't know the area and your satnav takes you through Littlebeck, you might want to alter your course - I bet mountain goats would have problems making it up and down the sheer hills and single track lanes there!

 We stayed here for the weekend and had a fantastic time. 2 adults, two children and a baby. Pitch was a decent size and the facilities (showers, toilets, laundry) were all of a good standard.

There is a nice walk into Robin Hoods Bay itself through the fields and a good bus service to Whitby and Scarborough. The pub in the village (Fylingdale Inn or something similar) is child friendly with excellent food and 10-15 mins walk away. We will definitely be back!

 Spent 3 nights at this campsite for the bank holiday weekend. Loved it. Great facilities & very clean. They do pack a lot of pitches into the fields which we found a bit off putting when we arrived on the Friday evening but we needn't have worried. The organisation of the pitches by the wardens was excellent, we have a large tent and had plenty of room. In fact, despite the number of pitches, the campsite was very peaceful (except for the rain and high winds of the bank holiday weather!) The field we were put in (Square Field) was a bit exposed so do pack your extra tent pegs if bad weather is forecast.

Nice wash up area with an informative noticeboard and posters about the locality. Good, clean and warm toilets/showers with hairdryers too and a bathroom (cost £1) which we used to bath our two boys and 18wk old baby together. There were a few queues at peak times but nothing you wouldn't expect for a bank holiday. We avoided the obvious busy times for the showers & managed to get one straight away or within a few minutes.

Robin Hoods Bay is lovely, with none of the usual seaside tackiness. Ate out twice, at The Victoria Hotel (top of the hill) and The Dolphin down in the village. Good food at both. Also had very nice fish and chips near the beach. Visited Whitby for a day where there is lots to do, highlight for our boys was a tour on Elizabeth the Steam Bus.

On a negative note the site did seem a bit pricey, £29 pn for a tent with 2 adults, 2 children, 1 baby & 1 dog; but this wouldn't put us off returning as it was so well organised and clean.

We loved our weekend and will definitely stay at Middlewood Farm again and recommend it to friends.

 We have just got back from 2 nights camping for the bank holiday. We turned up quite early Saturday morning as you cannot pre-book but we managed to get a slot. They opened extra fields so there was plenty room, although in some areas they are packed in like sardines.

The shower blocks are always full and people were complaining that they had to queue a long time (I think that there is not enough facilities for the amount of campers during bank holiday)

There is a take-away van on site so if you don't want to cart all your Kitchen then you can get drinks and hot food, quite reasonably priced. You can walk to Robin Hoods Bay from the site it takes about 15 minutes. There is a small children's play area, but for smaller children I would think.

We visited the Fylingdales public house a few times during our stay as the weather was awful, it is a quaint pub with a small family area. It is 10 min walk from the site. There is also a general store that sells most essentials and lovely fresh meat from the local butcher. Had a taxi to Whitby which cost £9.00 we thought was a very good price.

I have read lots of reviews about the Whitby/Robin Hoods Bay area, if you've never been it can get very very windy! Make sure you take extra poles and plenty of tent pegs!

Although there was a tremendous amount of people it was very quite, the wardens would go round and warn anyone being loud after 11pm.

 Wonderful site, excellent facilities clean showers & toilet block and food bar, good food excellent value for money (great breakfast). Owners very welcoming and friendly, ready to answer any and all queries.

Tents sited away from main road very quiet at night no disturbances.

Very close to quaint seaside town of robin hoods bay. Very steep walk down to beach though we are hoping to return very shortly.

 We really liked this site. It is situated within walking distance of Robin Hoods Bay nestled in the lea of the rising ground from the sea. The site is flat and well drained. The owner was very helpful.

The toilet facilities are modern and well kept. You can order takeways and breakfast from reception although we didn't take advantage of this service. If you are going on bank holidays there is a minimum nights stay if you require hook up.

A deposit is required for electric hook up pitches. There is a surcharge for extra large tents. This wasn't a problem for us but your tent size will be required when booking-enquiring. We paid £12 a night for 2 x car and tent extra bodies are £3 but under 3s go free. Having said that this is a site which is well worth coming back to.

Fylingthorpe is a lovely village with shop and pub and the walk down to Robin Hoods Bay is quite easy on a well maintained public footpath.

There is a children's playground on site with sturdy play equipment. We only stayed two nights but intend to return in the near future. Definitely my favourite in this area.

Reviewer: Hawklord61 2 reviews from this member

 just spent 5 nights camping and found the site to be quite a good standard. It was busy for the start of stay but became much quieter. The field we were on was open to the wind and rain, but was flat well kept and the ground was perfect.

The toilet block was excellent and clean, free showers and hot. The wash area also was clean and tidy. The reception staff could not have been more helpful or polite. The burger van was ok and friendly staff.

The local village and area is really good for walks and the pub was a god send on one bad evening. A good walk down to the bays. There was two parties in our group and we pitched side by side no problem.

Overall well worth the money, good site good area good staff and not the last time we will visit, see you there?

 Just spent 2 days here for the bank holiday weekend. We had not booked but that was no problem. The site was lovely and clean the toilets and shower block could not be faulted.

There was a very small playarea but it was only for very young children. We had 2 13 year old boys with us, there was nothing at all for them to do.

There was a lovely pub 10 minutes walk away, lovely big beer garden though it was too cold too use it. Hot dog van on site a bit expensive but nice.

The only problem for us with the site was that the field was so open too the winds there was no shelter at all and the winds coming over those fields were really bitterly cold.

All in all we thought the site was lovely and clean but a little lacking in friendliness, also I think its only good for very hot weather due too the location

 We visited the camp site on the bank holiday weekend that fell at the end of may.

I initially found the staff on the reception pretty rude and my stay at the camp site went down hill from there.

The camp site was far too crowded (we could hardly fit out car at the side of the tent), the grass was very long, we had almost a 10 min walk (round trip) to the loo - not very good in the middle of the night!

Talking of loo's, the ladies constantly had mess on the seats - the owners cannot be blamed for this however it added to my overall opinion of the site - that its overcrowded, very expensive and nothing special.

Will not return

 Just had a great weekend here made even better by the brilliant weather! Superb campsite, nice big level pitches. We had EHU but all pitches looked fine.

Superb location within easy walking distance from Robin hoods bay. The campsite walk to Robin hoods bay was closed but there was an alternative route, mainly off road and fine for a pram or wheelchair.

Very clean (new)showers loos and pot washing facilities. Shower cut off after 5 mins but seemed plenty long enough. There is also a really nice food van on site, serves nice breakfast and evening food(chips, burgers etc) Really good value too.

Whitby only a short drive away and lots to see and do in the lovely Robin hoods bay.

Dog friendly, good value, Cant wait to go back

 We had a lovely time at this site. Spotlessly clean, in every area. Beautiful scenery, friendly staff. Some lovely walks, especially down to Robin Hoods Bay. Very dog friendly to.

Ideal for exploring the North Yorkshire Moors. Cant think of anything bad to say about it. We will be back very soon.

 Stayed from Monday 12th to Sunday 18th April 2010 on the Family Field without EHU.

Excellent friendly, clean, quiet and level site. Tents were well spaced out.

Site facilities were lovely and clean with plenty of hot water in the showers and for washing up. Children's playground is well equipped. There is a Laundry that has an electric point and also a private bathroom.

This site has quite a lot of EHU pitches for tents.

Have stayed in their static caravans before and will definitely return to camp.

Service could be improved by providing a freezer for campers use. They do hire out freezer blocks and charge for re-freeze but I have stayed on many sites that provide a freezer and have found this to be a better / easier service to use.

There is a food vending van on site and also the food at the local pub was excellent.

There are many places of interest in the area that are easily reached from this location, both coastal and inland. Robin Hoods Bay is within walking distance and can be reached by road, by a path on a former railway track and then road or by a path through farmland.

 Very nice site friendly, nice location old railway line good for bikes. Shower blocks very clean and plenty of hot water. Take away van on site very good and friendly free drinks while setting up walk to beach about 10 mins. Very dog friendly. Children's play area and field

Our only comment would be the road down is very steep and narrow, but worth it just to go to such a nice site and area
