When 1st driving up the lane I thought what the hell have I come to but you turn the corner into a lovely if very rustic site with chickens,turkey's,geese roaming about, it's almost like going back in time.
You are met by Rob the owner/manager/cleaner/cook who is a smashing bloke doing his bit to save the planet, so it's all recycle recycle recycle.
The fields are large and you can pitch where you like, but the ground is a tad hard and we bent a few pegs so beware. We pitched with the EHU's which was a strange set up, seemed to be all extension leads onto extension leads but worked fine.
There is only one shower for the gents and I'm told one for the ladies to ( 20p for 2 mins), the problem you have is if someone washes up whilst your in the shower the water pressure drops (as I found out covered top to toe in soap).In all not the best shower/toilet block but not the worst. We left on Saturday as the site was filling up for the bank holiday and it was getting busy in the showers/toilets/washing up areas but I guess that's the same every where.
Local beaches are great and spent a lot of time there £3.50 parking for the day with a cafe and toilet just above the beach
What a fantastic site. Plenty of room for the tent and windbreakers. We stayed 4 nights and had a firebucket every night. A tip though is not too near your tent! It was very windy and some ash blew onto our tent and melted it. Toilets basic but shower hot and lots of bins to recycle your rubbish. Lovely village pub within walking distance which does a good pint. Will def visit again.
There was myself, husband and 2 children-a 1 year old and a 4 year old. This campsite is so original! When you first drive into the lane it looks quite ramshackle, but quite beautiful. If Rob the owner is not about, there is a walkie talkie on the door you use in order to reach him-great idea! Rob is a one man band and wow what a superstar. He opens a breakfast bar serving tasty bacon, eggs, sausages etc. He also drives round in the afternoon delivering wood and a burner if you want it-cost £4.50 per night. I suggest you take more wood if you want a decent burn! My children loved feeding and chasing the chickens round, but I was quite pleased the chickens rarely ventured into the main tent fields. No playground-no real loss- but a great area for running around in and the little stone henge Rob has made was perfect for my 2 to play hide and seek and chase. Electric hook up is limited to mainly the caravan field-some tents were there, but disappointed we couldn't use it-too crowded. The toilets were absolutely fine for us, but we did go when it was quiet. I can imagine they would get rather dirty in busy periods, but wouldn't all camping toilets. Showers take 20p and £1.00 coins only. There is a lovely beach and small cafe at humanby gap-we parked at the top and walked down with a loaded buggy, a little steep as you get to the beach but fairly buggy friendly- and a great farm for little children called cruckley farm-head for Driffield and brown signs then take you there. About 5 min drive away is the village of humanby where there is a co-op, pharmacy, butchers and newsagents. Perfect for supplies.5 min walk from the site is a pub-great food-and a post office. The tent fields were a little exposed, but we did decide to camp when it was windy! Also take a mallet as ground in areas is quite hard.
Oh WOW! How on earth did we find this gem of a place - it is a cross between Pa Larkins, Darling Buds of May and Steptoe and Son's Yard.
If you blink you miss it as you drive into the village, but once found you are met by Rob the owner. His only rules seem to be recycle, recycle, recycle and leave the washrooms as you'd want to find them. He then sends you off up 'The Yellow Brick Road' to pitch wherever you want and if you don't like your neighbours don't blame him 'cos he didn't pick them!
Hens, chickens, cockbirds, turkeys, stone lions and wooden moose are all there! They just add to the charm as you reach a mini Stonehenge amongst the tourers.
We pitched in a large field with very stony ground so heavy duty tent pegs are a must.
For £4.50 Rob delivers a chimnea or brazier with a pile of wood to burn, this added to the still night atmosphere. It is a must!
Although it doesn't boast a kids play park ours loved the tree swings and freedom in the wide open space and intereaction with the animals.
If you can't be bothered to cook breakfast Rob opens up his Chuckwagon and does the best breakfast buns we have ever tasted, not to mention the best freshly brewed coffee.
The washrooms are quirky to say the least with LLoyd Loom chairs and tasselled lamps in the toilets. Found them to be clean where they needed to be and very well stocked.
There is so much to say we would be here all day raving about it - every camper should visit at least once for the experience.
Burton Fleming is a lovely village too, with Post Office and village pub. It was Scarecrow weekend when we visited and it added to it's charm. Don't forget to buy your eggs and honey before you leave the site!
Will we be back??? Course we will, only came home yesterday and the kids are asking when will we be going back!
This site is very rustic and the owner is a helpful chap. Nice to be able to pitch your tent were you like and was busy when we stayed, but never felt to cramped in. Good location for the coast and the village is very welcoming and the post office sells proper sweets out of jars and a few basic bits.
Showers / toilets I have to say let this site down ,they need a very good clean, pity really as quite good being in the old butter churn shed. Pot washing area was very bad,as take your wellies as waste was running down were you stand. Only used that the once. Fire pits. Look good, but ashes fly all over, at £4.50 feel the price is quite high I would go back to this site again.
Instead of camping, why not try a house for your break to the East Coast ! At this delightful family home you will be close to everything that Bridlington Old Town has to offer. If you want the roar of the sea, then you will be just a short drive or 30 minute walk to the harbour and beach. The house is fully kitted out with everything your family need for a stay away from home. Up to 4 guests - living room - kitchen - 2 bedrooms - 3 beds - 1 bathroom - good size year round garden - parking for 2 cars
So don't bring your tent, airbeds and sleeping bags, and enjoy the feeling of being home from home. Find out more here
We arrived with just a few hours booking notice, great to find a place - we thought! Site is as previous reviews but I really wanted to add that the showering/toilet facilities are awful :(
We were charged £18 per night for 2 adults & 2 children, more that at the site we were at near Ashborne where facilities were superb! Having to pay for a shower is a joke - and it was dire! Pkus there were over 100 pitches not the 30, so as you can imagine 2 showers and 6 toilets were not going to be adequate!
The chickens are everywhere, but we did expect that, however the amount of poo from them in the area's you need to be in such as the waste emptying area is terrible. The power was intermittent and our fridge was warm when we came back as it had been off all day - by the way it's only 5 amp, which is why it is always going off as people are using hairdryers. The electric cables are all over the place a real trip hazard as the lighting is very poor/to none at all!
The owner is a nice chap, if the prices were reduced by half I would visit again (but come well prepared with my gennie!)
After reading reviews,thought we'd give it a try. Arrived Friday evening about 6pm Rob was up in top field had a walkie talkie system on door of reception so called to let him know we'd arrived. He said he'd be down shortly was in top field as we were blocking the lane we moved car and trailert ent further up lane after waiting 15 mins went looking for him explained who I was and got a very frosty reaction telling me I'd not booked etc told me to go wait by the field further down he'd sort me out,another 15 mins later he came to me realised he'd got me mixed up with a trailer tent he moved off the field for being noisy till 2am in the morning earlier in the week and apologised for being shirty but damage was done.
Having said all this was a great few nights hired a bbq and firepit which the kids loved had our bacon butties in the morning from the snackbar which was reasonably priced turkeys were great lots of animals roaming reviews were not wrong about showers me and my daughter went across to ladies put a £1 in machine and got 10 mins I had mine fine when she got in with plenty time left everytime anyone went to use toilet or ran a tap it went freezing cold and took 2 mins to warm up again.
But overall if your after a long weekend you can't go wrong for the price will go back. There's a nice village pub and lots to do with bridlington down the road.
When we arrived here we found it quaint a little run down but friendly. Every thing seemed to be made of recycled material, we pitched our tent on the outside of the cornfield which was lovely and quiet until a group of 9 youths camped next to us. In the evening the camp fire was wonderful that rob supplied at £4.50 was well worth it and the free range eggs are delicious . The toilets were a bit of a trek and they needed a good clean but they served there purpose.
Just returned from a one night stay at Bobbybees, had a great time! Facilities are basic but Rob is looking to improve them. The firepits made our evening, its well worth getting one. The guy who says they only last for 90mins is wrong as we had ours going for three hours! Well worth the £4.50. The site is clean and tidy, don't know how Rob manages to do it all himself! Site is lovely and quiet as it is away from main roads and all pitches are flat so you are guaranteed a level tent pitch. If you are looking for a site with modern facilities this is not the place for you but if you are looking for an authentic camping experience with plenty of rustic charm, this is the place for you. Can't wait to go back.
This is a great site for anyone wanting peace, warmth and a safe spot for kids. It is small, but with a large tent field so you don't feel overwhelmed by caravans. It is rustic, and that is it's charm, but not for people who want every mod con. The best bit is the fact that Rob, the owner, provides fire pits (£4.50 incl wood) so even if it is chilly you can sit out for hours. He also has a small bar that opens on Bank Hols (we came May Day weekend too) and serves local real ale! The site is close to Filey or would be great for some Wolds walking/cycling. The kids love it here and can have relative freedom. The downside for me is the toilet block - though it is cleaned and Rob provides toilet roll, soap and even cotton wool (it never ran out of anything, a rare thing!) it is just not enough when site is busy. Rob says it is his next development.

One of the seemingly few campsites that will take larger tents (our tent is a large dome tent which measures 30ft x 30ft). Mere Farm was our first camping experience and most certainly won't be our last. Beautiful surroundings and very well kept camping fields, freshly mown. We must have gone at a really quiet time as we were the only tent in the tent field and had the mini stonehenge to ourselves.
Prices were very reasonable at £10 per tent for 2 people. Facilities were good, Rob the owner, is an absolute star - he does everything himself and nothing was too much trouble, from cooking breakfasts in the Chuck Wagon (fantastic food and great value for money and great for a hangover cure when you have had far too much cheap french wine to drink) to bringing the fire pit around in the evening which made our first evening of 'campage' a very enjoyable experience (fire pits £4.50).
Lots of free range chickens and of course, the 2 turkeys, Frank and Mork, who were extremely friendly. Also best free range eggs in the world on sale! We took our two dogs with us and had plenty of quiet lanes and country roads to walk them.
Hunmanby Gap is the most beautiful beach and only about 5 miles from the campsite. Local pub only does food from Wed-Sun, so watch out for that. There is also a post office and a butchers in the village, a short walk from the farm.
Facilities were adequate: men - there was 1 shower and 3 toilets, same for ladies, which at peak times must be inconvenient. Showers were nice and hot though, 20p for 2 mins worth. No play area as such for kids, although there was a lovely swing from an old tree and plenty of room for running around, ball games etc.
Would definitely recommend and we will definitely be going back!
After reading this site's reviews of Mere Farm we decided to visit for the weekend. Once we got there we both looked at each other and thought we had ventured into a time long ago. The site looks very rural and rustic. Chickens, Turkeys and other breeds of birds roaming round. The electrics were a tad basic, being an extension lead.
Toilets are out of date and need a revamp, but it doesn't detract from the fact that this is camping / caravanning and as such this should be expected. Even though they are basic, they are kept clean.
The owner runs a very Green site, making sure that the rubbish is sorted into glass, cans, plastics etc. We loved this site and plan to visit again soon. Very amiable chap who does everything. One thing we found very sad was the local council is trying to shut him down. The reasons given are disgusting. Green issues, lack of public transport, other caravan site in area (even though it isn't a touring site and just statics) We signed a petition to make sure they don't win! If you visit, please help him out by signing the petition to protect him from the local council.
We have just returned from a 2 night trip to Mere Farm, and like a couple of the previous reviews, I have to agree that this place is like going back in time. There is plenty of space for the kids to kick a ball about, and most of the children on the site seemed to be more than happy just cycling around everyone elses pitches.
The toilets are the weak link on this site - I can't speak for the Ladies, but the Mens were not good. They were cleaned daily, but I guess it comes down to the lowest common denominator, and they soon got to be in a state where I was uncomfortable using them.
The fires that Robert - the owner - hires out are adequate, but the wood you get for £4.50 can last as little as 90 minutes, so beware.
So if you like the old fashioned way of camping & early starts due to the chickens etc, then Mere Farm is for you.
This site is very quirky and almost a little bizarre! however we really enjoyed our stay here, the positives, we went early may bank holiday and were met by Robert, who is the owner and runs everything on his own. Robert is very friendly and helpful.
We were in the non electric field, there is loads of space which is great so not too on top of your neighbours. We hired a fire pit, fab, the kids thought this was great, had toasted marshmallows and sat keeping warm, great fun.
On an evening a little bar was open, which was a bit like sitting in steptoes yard with all the old equipment, etc everywhere, but again fun. All the drinks are £2. I got a Pims and lemondade and got a swirly stick and fruit with it! It is a little bizarre as there are chickens, a dog and turkeys walking round all over the place and the toilets are housed in some old farm equipment tanks.
The shower I have to say, I did not like the look of at all and didn't use it. My husband pulled a face after using the mens too! If you don't mind basic facilities this is a great site, in a peaceful location although not too far from the coast (and civilisation!) I would go again, but only for two nights maximum so I could avoid the showers.
Well what can I say but WOW, I am so impressed I doubt we will go camping anywhere else again. Bobby Bee has got it sorted in every way, basic, clean, central to all the east coast seaside resorts, and so helpful.
We had the best two family holidays here already and we are planning to go again in July and August 2009. Thanks to Rob and his eco warrior outlook we have learned a thing or two, not forgetting Frank the guard turkey and Lucy, feel like I am part of it all.
The amusing signs and the swing for the kids, no nintendos all week great! You have to go to see what I mean if you don't laugh on this holiday, you need help! Be back real soon.
