Reviewer: Awroe3 1 review from this member

 The fields are beautifully situated with glorious views. I liked the unregimented nature of the place. Lots of wild flowers and grasses with wildlife. We paused, as we left, to let a hare find its way off the lane into a field.

The distance to Robin Hoods Bay itself is not far but it is a steep walk back the farm track to the campsite. If you are going to Robin Hoods Bay though you will be happy with walking up steep hills.

It is a quiet and peaceful place and we had a lovely restful time.

There are individual shower rooms with toilets and wash basins and also a separate unit with toilet and washbasin rooms. Very Covid friendly. All kept very clean.

The pot washing area was closed, because of Covid restrictions but there was a hot water tap where you could wash up as long as you had a bucket or a bowl.

It is not really a site for children as the ethos of the place is peace and quiet. A sign asks for no radio/audio disturbance for example.

 If you don’t want to be crammed onto a site in regimented rows and want fantastic views this lovely site just a walk down a steep path to the cinder track to Robin Hoods Bay may be for you. Pitches are large and all had good views,

Showers ( wet rooms containing shower w/c & wash basins) were rustic but very good, clean and free, plus separate w/c’s. EHU’s on some pitches. Dogs to be kept on leads, no radios, no traffic noise. Bliss.

Friendly & informative staff member.

 Cracking site!

Really helpful owners.

Great location overlooking RHB.

Easy walk down the Cinder Track into the village.

Picthes are plenty big enough and the facilities are excellent.

Highly recommended.

NB ensure you follow Mike"s instructions on how to get there. DO NOT FOLLOW YOUR SAT NAV 😁

Reviewer: Davidndebbie 1 review from this member

 A site with character. Laid out in sections rather than military rows. There is hard provision.

However the site is uneven because of its position on the land. Excellent position for walks to Robin Hoods Bay and Whitby.

Very clean facilities. Chemical disposal area is much better than most sites. Very good views.

Access to the site is long and narrow however the ground has been laid extremely well.

Reviewer: Laurac 23 reviews from this member

 Only stayed the one night but wow what a view I had! I was awake to see a beautiful sunrise over the bay.

Paid £23 for the one night but it was worth it for the pitch I had.

Toilets and showers were still closed, fresh water and Elsan available to use. I

F you follow the signs you can walk into Robin Hoods Bay, takes about half hour, longer coming back as it’s mostly up hill

 Wonderful site with outstanding views absolutely loved it.

Perfect location for walking and visiting Robin Hoods Bay.

As we had a lot of heavy rain we were stuck and so needed towing out, a HUGE thankyou for getting us safely on our way.

 Great site overlooking the sea

Helpful owner

Narrow road to the site and some difficulty in levelling on some parts of the site

Easy access to the cinder track and easy walk to Robin Hood’s Bay

Reviewer: Simonb 1 review from this member

 Lovely quiet site with beautiful sea views from all pitches.

We didn’t see the toilet/ shower facilities as we used our own in the caravan but suspect they will be adequate but not plush.

It’s a bit of a long narrow approach to the site but this means that there is literally no road noise whatsoever.

We will definitely be returning.

 Interesting site - not the most pristine but we liked the wildness of it!

Facilities basic but clean and really hot showers not on a timer!

Great views over Robin Hoods Bay will definitely consider booking again

 Beautiful sea views, pleasant site, Mike, camp site owner pleasant and helpful. Nice walk into Robin Hood Bay, (40 minutes).

A little pathway down hill from the site to the cinder track road to the Bay, but not that bad at all.

Would stay again.

Reviewer: Gumstabber 12 reviews from this member

 A lovely, peaceful, quiet site with plenty of room between units. Beautiful clifftop views from the entire site. Chatty, pleasant owner. Facilities are unisex and always clean and there's enough of them.

Close to the cinder trail to access robin hood's bay and Whitby. Robin hood's bay only 1 mile boa the cinder trail.

Bear in mind that this is not a flat site and you will probably need chocks to level your unit up, but this is north Yorkshire and nowhere is flat.

Overall we had a wonderful time and would certainly return.

Reviewer: Jerryhatrick 2 reviews from this member

 We highly recommend Bayness campsite. From our warm welcome from Mike to the superb location with lovely views of the coast and sea. The facilities are decent, much more than adequate. The drive in is a little rickety (on the concrete sleepers) but okay if you take it slow.

Its only a half hour walk into Robin Hood's Bay (along the Cinder path) and very close to the Cleveland Way (we enjoyed a super walk up the coast to Whitby).

It isn't the cheapest (£20 per night for 2 and a tent), although no money needed for showers etc.

We stayed for 5 days (we had great weather, almost no rain - very lucky!) and definitely would return!

Reviewer: BigErnie 32 reviews from this member

 Wow what a view! We stayed here for two nights whilst visiting the area, a friend had booked the site and if I’m honest I wasn’t sure about it as it seemed quite expensive but as soon as we arrived my mind was changed.

The owner seemed friendly, a little quirky but really helpful and pointed us in the direction of the least saturated pitches. The site is divided up into two or three camping areas with stone walls surrounding each, all of which are grassed and sloping but we didn’t get stuck and managed to level up ok.

During our stay it was really windy, another camper suggested that we take our silver screen off overnight as his has been damaged and we are glad that he did as we were hit by the tail end of a storm and the site is pretty exposed.

The facilities are a bit rustic, with large chunky wooden doors and stone floors, I found the shower temperatures a bit temperamental but managed to have a hot shower in the end. To be honest thought this all pales into insignificance when you walk out of the toilets up the ramp and see the unspoilt view of the sea and stunning coastline.

Walking is easy into Robin Hoods Bay which is well worth a visit or in the opposite direction to Whitby. We were staggered by the beauty of this coastline it really is worth doing the walk to Whitby along the coast path if not for the view, then at least to reward yourself with Whitby Scampi and Chips!

We’ll return to the area as we were only here for two days and it feels like there is so much more to explore.

Reviewer: Gingawarrior 82 reviews from this member

 An interesting site to say the least, quirky is another good description. Owner is very friendly and a bit of a character, and the site reflects this.

Facilities are fine, not particularly modern, but clean and practical and they were perfectly adequate whilst we were there, although the site was not busy.

Quite exposed high up on the coast, but as a result you are rewarded with fantastic views out to sea, Great walk into either Whitby or Robin Hoods Bay, which are both really lovely places.

Its a long way from home, but I guess if I'm ever in the area I'd happily stay here again.
