Reviewer: Daleswalker 9 reviews from this member

 Had a few nights here with the wife and the dog. Overall the facilities were pretty good, the toilet blocks were clean but Mrs DW reported that her shower was cold (I stuck to the shower in the van).

The staff were extremely helpful even when we had to extend our stay due to some car trouble, they had to shuffle some other guests around but were really good about it. They even gave us a rebate when they realised they had charged us for an awning we didn't use.

The pitches are quite tight and the printed list of do's and don'ts is a little less than welcoming but I guess some people need a little reminding!

Be warned though, the tow in and out is not for the faint hearted, very narrow and VERY steep in places, which in retrospect is probably the only aspect which will prevent me from going back.

 Great site, reasonably quiet units wise. Agree the motor home pitches are a little close but easily adequate. Facilities were spotless. Location is great to walk to robin hoods bay and Whitby. Bus also runs to Whitby and Scarborough from just up road.

Great pub in village serving good beer and food.

Will return

 First visit to this site, great location and a nice welcome by the staff.

Good facilities and we didn't have to queue for showers but the schools weren't on holiday so I'm not sure what it's like at busy times.

Nice walk to Robin Hood Bay and handy location for Whitby where we visited family.

This is a working farm which we don't mind but if your not used to farm noise and routine then maybe not for you.

Dog friendly site which is nice to see. We will return.

 A nice time at Middlewood Farm with friends at a gathering. Brilliant Location being a 15 minutes walk from Robin Hoods Bay and Bogle hole. Smallish pitches but good facilities including a van which does brilliant breakfasts and dinners on weekends. Dog friendly and because of its location had many pooches present but no problems. Ideal for touring North Yorkshire and would recommend. Owners friendly too! Good pub in the village.

Reviewer: Hairywol 29 reviews from this member

 Stayed for one night in this picturesque site close to the village of Fylingdales and only slightly further away from Robin Hood's Bay.

Access to the site is a bit tricky for caravans, the approach road getting very narrow at some points with residents' parking making it very tight indeed.

The site itself is split: behind the reception/owner's home is a very well kept grass field, on which there were mainly tents but also some motorhomes. There is also a playground for small children.

The second site, over the road, is quite a bit larger and houses the caravan park as well as tents. A third site is for static homes.

Checking in was quick and straightforward - the site is very clearly laid out and is accessed by a coded barrier.

Caravans I have to say were herded together very tightly. Had we put up our awning we could have passed a cuppa to the guy next door. Our hardstanding pitch was pretty low on hardstanding and consisted of grey muddy gravel which, it having rained, stuck to our footwear and was difficult to keep out of the 'van.

The toilet block was kept clean and was never too busy while we were there.

The site itself is placed in a valley with magnificent views of hills and woodland. The grass was well kept and there is a food van which opens to serve meals to those unwilling to cook, which those who bought them seemed very pleased with.

The pitch cost us (couple and dog) £26, perhaps a bit on the high side considering the very small pitch and the fact that we didn't use our awning. However the site was pretty busy nevertheless.

Fylingdales Village is fewer than ten minutes walk and has an excellent pub serving good food and excellent ales. It also has a good garden area for those with pets and kids.

On balance it's a well-placed site for touring a very pretty bit of country, but a bit of hardstanding maintenance would be very welcome.

 Excellent time here. Helpful staff led us to our pitch in the main field close to the facilities. Plenty of taps about for fresh water to save going to the main building. Good showers, toilets and washing facilities, never had to queue even when the site got busy.

Great that it has a bathroom you can pay extra for access to as our 18 month old didn't like the showers!

Nearby village with a pub with good food and a couple of shops make driving unnecessary. A bit of treck over the fields to the beach at Robin Hood's Bay, but that was with two small kids and a lot of 'kit', much easier with older kids I'd imagine.

Great location for getting about, will definitely be back.

 We have just returned from a 4 day break here.

The facilities were excellent, clean and modern (though I had to queue for the free hot showers, they quite quickly become free, the water lasts for 5 mins so a quick turn around).

Tents / caravans are quite close together, it is strictly organised to fit as many on the fields as possible.

There are signs to say no noise after 11pm, unfortunately there were a couple of groups who did not adhere to this and it was quite noisy until 12pm ish.

The play area for the kids is really basic, though there was plenty of room for them to play ball games on an empty field which they loved.

The scenery is quite nice, but the real draw of this site for us was it's proximity to Robin Hood's Bay, which is a 10 minute walk away through fields. The bay is really magical and the kids loved it.

We took our dog with us and must echo the review of a previous visitor that it is not very dog friendly, no area to exercise the dog on site, although dogs are allowed on the beach at Robin Hood's Bay which is a major plus. The beach was clean of any dog mess so people seem to respect the area.

I would return to this campsite because of how close it is to the Bay, but I personally prefer quieter campsites.

 We have just returned today from Middlewood campsite, I've never been as disappointed as I was after reading reviews from your website and looking at their website I thought we were on to a winner. I found the toilets and shower to look grubby, the site overall was not well kept.

The staff were pleasant and the square field behind the reception which didn't have hard standings looked better than the touring field plus the toilets that they used were of a better standard, but overall very disappointing.

We had booked two nights, but went out today and then decided we wouldn't return, but go home.

The only plus point was the footpath through the site to Robin Hoods Bay, which would be nice in the height of summer as you could go there in the evening.

 Our first family camping holiday booked last minute, Site was great, no problems at all facilities clean, ideal location for Whitby and Scarborough with lovely walk to robin hoods bay, play ground is basic but kids loved it. Staff helpful and regular warden drive-by's through the site, definitely use the site again.

Reviewer: TentnTrailer 6 reviews from this member

 Situated just a 10-15 min walk from the picturesque Robin Hood's Bay, this campsite is in a great location. The site is divided into two fields, the main field and the family field near to reception. We were sited in the family field which has some electric hook-ups and is the smaller of the two. Booking was straight forward (£25 deposit) and we were allocated our pitch number on arrival. The field was flat and tidy and the toilet block, for the most part, was clean. The family field also includes a small kids play area.

One irritation with regard to the toilets is that boys will not lift the toilet seat when standing up using the toilet. This means the next user has to wipe the seat prior to sitting down. Perhaps fathers should educate their sons in toilet seat etiquette. Unfortunately, this seems to happen at every site I have been to where there are young children present.

The washing up area only had three sinks and so sometimes there was a queue. Perhaps families eat at similar times and then need to wash up soon afterwards??

This is a working farm and so expect some noise from machinery and animals.

It's an ideal base for exploring the North Yorkshire coast and the nearby towns of Whitby and Scarborough.

There was no on-site shop but a van came round the site every day selling some basic food items - ok if you were stuck. However, then nearest shop was in Robin Hood's bay village. Apart from that it was Sainsburys on the way in to Whitby.

By comparison with average campsite prices, taking into account the on-site facilities, this ranks as on the expensive side at £31 per day for July-Aug period.

 Booked for 3 nights & only stayed 2. Would've left earlier if the barrier wasn't in lockdown.

On arrival we found the staff unhelpful and a bit miserable. We were given a list of things we weren't allowed to do !

The tents were way too close together.

Not sure how many toilet block there were, but there wasn't enough for the amount of people they crammed on to the site.

Only positive is the proximity to robin hoods bay.

Reviewer: Philwil32 3 reviews from this member

 Fantastic site! Highly recommend. Immaculate. Firstly arriving were so friendly and shown us around site. We were in 'top field' pitch 41. Toilets and showers were really clean and well looked after. Seen cleaners in there quite often over our 3 night stay so were getting cleaned well. Got to keep noise down to a minimum after 11 pm which is great if you have children with you. There is a warden who patrols the site which I thought was pretty good.

The site itself is situated really well. We have a 2 n half year old girl who loves her farm yard animals and to walk to Robin hoods bay we had to walk through the fields where the cows where n she loved it. After the cow field it takes you to a little forest which has beautiful scenery! Took around 10mins to walk to the beach. Back to the site, for us, it was flawless. Very tidy and well kept. Very friendly. Very clean and nicely priced! What more could you want!?

Reviewer: Merlot65 19 reviews from this member

 Visited midweek and the site was fairly busy so don't think we'd like to pay it a weekend visit! Positives: Great location, just a short walk into the village where there is a local dog friendly pub - Flyingdales Inn (which sold the most amazing burger!) and a short walk to the beach and Robin Hood's Bay which is absolutely stunning, you could have been in a greek fishing village as the weather was amazing. Hairdryer in the ladies and also a couple of sockets for those wanting to use straighteners!

Negatives: As this was only our second ever campsite and it was bigger than the first one we camped at, we just felt like a number and it didn't feel as friendly and felt as though there were laminated rules everywhere you looked which would suggest there could be regular issues that need addressed by all these rules. 5 minute window of opportunity in the shower and it won't go on again, a bit annoying when you have a mop of hair to wash!

 Fantastic time, wish we'd had time to stay longer, hopefully we'll get time to visit again soon.

Working Farm but you'd never know it, nice a peaceful site close to Robin Hood Bay.

Local village has great Pub with fantastic Food and a must is a stop at the local butchers for fresh local produce.

Showers and other facilities were spotless, endless Hot water so do delay in showering for us late risers.

Many thanks

 Arrived back today after a 2 night stay at Middlewood Farm with our 5yr old daughter and our dog. Great little site. Lovely views and some decent walks (very steep hills though!). Robin Hood bay is a good walking distance but its only a 10-15min drive into Whitby and there are also buses to and from the village where the camp is. There is a very small play area on one field of the site but we were placed in the field across the lane but our little one didn't seem to mind too much. Toilets and showers good standard, a bit muddy at times but this was always cleared up by the next visit to the loo! Very reasonably priced food van on site open for breakfast and on an evening. Dog friendly however a tiny gripe we had was there are notices asking to pick dog mess up, obviously any responsible owner does, but on the walk to Robin Hoods bay which is a nature track there are no bins to put the waste in. Not sure if this is Middlewood Farm's issue or a local council one but bins would be a help! That is the only fault we had which is extremely minor so we would not hesitate to visit this site again.
