 This site is only 30 mins from our home, but great for our family if we just want a quick break. Fantastic location if visiting the yorkshire coast, moors etc. Pickering less than a 10 mins drive. Great to see a working farm.
Unisex facilities block, always seems to be clean so the fairies do a fantastic job! Full of information on the local area too.
Pitches very spacious with ample space for kids to run around or play in the play area without disturbing others. Plenty of space for exercising dogs. Most of the pitches seem to slope in one direction or another but never had a problem levelling up.
Owners very friendly and always happy to help. Great farm eggs too!

What a very relaxing weekend was had as a new 'caravan club member' 1st time I had visited a CL site ( although been caravanning for 30 years) and what a lovely site it was. Only £11 per night inc electric.
We stayed on the 5 pitch CL site (large field behind us was for regular non caravan club members and Tents).
Easily accessible, field slightly sloping with grass pitch (hard standing pitches available on 5 pitch CL field) when ground is too soft) but easy to level caravan with chocks! grass kept short and very tidy easy access to water points/ toilet disposal and lovely clean unisex shower and toilet block.
Ideal location for North Yorkshire Moors, Whitby etc. Fox and Rabbit pub just up the road do fantastic meals. Highly recommend
Working Dairy Farm didn't see much of owners but they kept it very presentable. Play area for children and Dog walking area too!
Will be visiting again.

We came to this site based on the fantastic reviews from all the other guests. We were not disappointed and we were lucky to get a pitch at very short notice due to a cancellation.
The pitches were all level, well spaced and very well maintained. The facilities - showers, toilets and washing up sinks - were immaculate at all times. Also, even though it was peak season and the site was full, it was always easy to get free hot showers and to wash the pots.
Some of the family were very lucky to see the cows being milked. It was fascinating to see the high tech machinery and experience the skills needed to run a dairy farm.
The owners were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Trevor, the owner, even lent us an electric hook up extension because ours was too short. He was happy to help, despite having a busy farm to run.
Even though this was a working farm and close to a busy road, there was a friendly and relaxed atmosphere on the site.
We got the impression many of the other guests had been before and were regulars. We would highly recommend this site and would definitely stay there in the future.
This site is friendly, fantastic value for money and a great location to visit surrounding towns and villages in North Yorkshire. Book early to avoid disappointment!

Just returned from a 4 day break in our tent (with EHU) at Marfit Head Farm, and I have to say that we had a lovely time. The site is very well maintained and the ground has excellent drainage as we had quite a bit of rain but the field never became muddy. The shower/toilet block is nice and clean with ample facilities - we didn't have to queue. There is a small dog walk on the farm and also some playground equipment - swings/slide etc which our 6 year old loved! With it being a working dairy farm the cows are ever present (hold your nose when walking past the cow shed!)- our kids (6 & 13) were fascinated when the cows all lined up to walk down for milking - very well trained! The farm is well located between Pickering and Whitby and also not too far away from Flamingo Land where we had a great day out. We would definitely return and camp here again - we had a lovely holiday.

Excellent campsite. Toilets and shower blocks spotless. The pitches were massive, loads of room infront of the tent for the kids to play safely. Has a small play area available but we never went to it. Off the main road so easily accessible to whitby and dalby forest is only a short drive away
Would recommend this campsite. It is very quiet and spacious, but after a busy day out that's just what you want to come back to. Will be back again next year

This site was lovely to stay on. The fields and surrounds were very well maintained as well as being very spacious (we had an 8mx8m tent!). The owners were lovely and the toilet blocks were excellent.
You have numerous clean toilets as well as showers and vanity rooms and a freezer to re-freeze ice blocks.
There is a park for children and the site itself is situated where easily accessible to drive across to Whitby or York. We were a 15min car journey away from Flamingo Land which was ideal.
The only thing I would recommend is some lighting down the main path to aid in going to the toilet blocks through the night.
All in all, a fantastic stay and I hope we return sooner rather than later!

What a gem. Just returned from marfit head farm. Pitches huge. Toilets lovely, spotless. There were quite a few children, but they played in middle of field, no bother at all. A previous review said about noise from road, not as bad as my husband snoring. Very good price. Don't hesitate about going there. Couldn't ask for a better site. We've been caravanning for over thirty years and I can honestly say one of the nicest farms we have stayed at. Will be going back in future

Just come back from a brilliant weekend away at Marfit Head Farm. The owner was really helpful and nothing seemed to be much trouble. My kids loved all the animals there and even got to watch the cows been milked and stroked the baby calves. Great little climbing frame/swings etc. Toilets immaculately clean! Great sized pitches with plenty of room. Hard to find any negatives really. The pub down the road (Fox and Rabbit) definitely worth a visit with all meat etc purchased locally the food was great and not badly priced for the quality. Would definitely return.

Just returned from a great week camping at Marfit Head Farm. The pitches were huge, our tent is 8m x 5m and we still had plenty of room. Toilets were cleaned daily and although the toilet block wasn't big we never had to queue.
The staff on the farm were great and very friendly. The kids didn't get to see the cows being milked, but they weren't bothered. They loved the playground and the spacious field to play on.
The only things missing from the site was laundry facilities and also a light outside the toilet blocks as it was very dark on a night when you went to the toilet.
That said we will certainly visit again.

We spent three nights at this site and absolutely loved it. There is a CL field which was fully booked and we had a pitch at the top of the site where there is a large overflow field. Our pitch was huge and even though there were other outfits there we never felt as if we were crammed in.
The boys loved the free range chickens that wandered in and out of the awning and watching the cows that were in the field adjacent to us. The toilet and shower blocks are amongst the cleanest we have ever used and are decorated to a high standard. There is a little playground on the site as an added bonus, as well as donkeys, pigs and the cows.
The owners are incredibly helpful and friendly and nothing is too much effort for them. We did some lovely walks in the local area and Whitby and Ravenscar are within easy reach by car. This site gives excellent value for money and was a real pleasure to stay on. We are looking forward to our next visit.

We are not long back from nearly 2 1/2wks at this wonderful campsite. It is based on a working farm, which is great, as we love animals. There are also very friendly pot belly pigs, donkeys, hens etc which all add to the ambience of the place.
The pitches were a really good size and we were given a choice of were we could pitch our tent. It rained and I mean rained 2 days in each of our first two weeks. It got a bit slushy underfoot in the tent (there were 2 adults, 1 large dog & 1 very active 11wk pup)with activity, but the field drainage was very good. The owner very kindly gave us solid sheeting to go underneath our groundsheet.
The toilet facilities were always clean & lovely to use, never any queues. The ice cream on supply was also very tasty. The Hole of Horcum was just minutes up the road, providing a very enjoyable walk & views for both the energetic & the not so energetic. Pickering, Whitby, Thornton le Dale & Goathland(Heartbeat country) are a few places that are within very easy access.
The only minus, was the lack of laundry facilities, especially if you are there for more than a couple of days, but the owners wife assures us it is in the pipeline. The laundry facilities in Whitby were very good & very reasonable
Would certainly recommend this site to anyone, I definitely didn't want to come home.

What a little gem, a lovely site about 5 miles from Pickering, a working farm, chickens wandering around the site, cows mooing, lovely owners. There are three fields, one of which is a ccc. The field I was in was sheltered on one side by trees, open to the fields on two sides, the farm at the other side.
Slightly sloping, grass had been recently mown. Very large pitches. Very well drained, stood up to thunderstorms and torrential rain while there. Small dog walk nearby. Toilets/showers(hot) unisex, cubicles fully enclosed, very clean, freezer free to use, washing up area inside. Very peaceful and quite, nice drive to Whitby and Scarborough, nice pub nearby, the Fox and Rabbit.
There is nothing negative about this site, just one or two niggles, the grass had been recently mown and the cut grass not gathered up, consequently I had grass sticking to shoes and all in tent, though it was rather wet.
A sign would be useful before reaching the site, the traffic on the road is very fast and the gateway slightly hidden. The nearest village for shopping is Pickering, 5 miles away, so its a good idea to stock up.
I loved this site and have already booked again for August!

Had a lovely weekend break here.
Lovely couple, farmer came to help when we started skidding while trying to pitch up.
Showers nice and clean, although there were not many people using the site. We used our caravan sink as we found the water not hot enough for our washing up
Lovely seeing the little calves as you go to the shower block.
Road is close by, but then, its easy to find, so it's going to be eh? We didn't find it too noisy.
Great places to walk close by. Nice pub in Levisham, which is a good walk away.
Recommended site. Will certainly be coming back again

My friend recommended this site and I'm glad she did £6 a night for me and my two children.
Toilet block was extremely clean only stopped two nights(plan to stay longer next time) so I didn't use the showers.
Adventure playground thingymebob for the kids. Chickens roaming freely, cows in the next field plus other animals.
Pitches were huge, granted I don't have a big tent or car, but we only used 1/4 of the pitch!
Only down side was the noise from the road. That aside I would highly recommend this site.

Visited this site early august and stayed 4 nights, but wished we had stayed longer as there is so much to do and see in and around the area.
We received friendly welcome. The pitches are very generous and grass was kept maintained at all times. Though it is next to the main road, you feel like your in a different place once your on the site.
There is good access to pickering, which is a lovely little market town, with a great atmosphere. It is also close to Goathland(heartbeat), you feel like your on a film set.
All in all a really nice site beside a real farm We will be back
