 Ideally located with a 10/15 min walk in to Robin Hoods Bay.
Good first impression. Quickly through the booking in process and quickly shown to pitch. The place itself and the organisation is spot on. There is in my opinion adequate shower/toilet facilities, pot washing sinks and daft little touches such as bricks to use for bbqs.
My gripe, and this was my first camping holiday so to speak, too many kids running round, playing ball, screaming etc etc. So great for families but not for those who are child intolerant. This was morning noon and night.
We were in the main field which was tightly packed with good tent/car parking space management. But it did feel like a refugee camp, too close to everyone else so you heard farting and snoring all night so I apologise for the missus's manners. No, it was everyone else close by.
What was needed was a German machine gun post situated in the middle of the site and if you made a noise before 8am you were shot by a noise police sniper!
So, the site itself can't be faulted, only the people who chose to get pissed and spout off their big mouths til whatever time. Like I said, this was my first camping experience and will in future find, if there is such a thing, a adult only campsite. Haha and not one of those funny ones, her indoors wouldn't approve.

We have camped here for the last four years and have found the site to be family friendly. There are two fields one as you enter the farm (don't be put off by the sight of a big grey barn in front of you) which is the family field with a play area. Follow the road round to another field
Which caters for both tents and caravans. There are toilet/washing/shower facilities on both areas. There is also a catering van on caravan site for breakfast sandwiches and drinks.
There is both a shop and pub in the village and a nice walk into Robin hoods bay from the camp site.
I have no hesitation in recommending the site, [please note: you have to pay for internet access and to freeze ice blocks]

We had an excellent stay at this site really enjoyed the long wk end with the family.
The site is really well located just a short walk into the bay where the kids loved having a rake about in the rock pools catching all sorts.
The site toilet blocks were clean and very good.
Only slight criticism was the children's park was small and a little ran down.
Would definitely return to this site to this site one day.

This is an excellent site for camping in a tent. We have visited this site four times in two years as we love it so much. It would be ideal for you if you have young children, or children who enjoy simple things in life.
The Site's facilities include two shower blocks and a children's play park in the family field. The shower blocks are lovely and warm with hot running water, but just note that the showers Re on a timer, so make sure you wash your hair quick! They are cleaned regularly throughout the day and the staff are really friendly, willing to help with any problems or enquiries you may have. The play park is only small but a big winner with my 6&8 year old kids.
This site is a working farm, and a nice scenic stroll through their cow fields takes you to the bottom of Robin Hood's Bay, right to a lovely fish and chip shop. There are plenty of places to eat and drink down in the bay, and lots of quirky little trinket and souvenir shops. Check the tide times with the site reception, as when the tide goes out, there are lots of little rock pools for the kids to go crabbing in.
In the village itself there is a well stocked shop and a pub with play area, which is a hit with the kids. The pub does lovely food, but the kids menu isn't all that great.
On site there is a burger van, which is open weekends and bank holidays, and all week in school holidays. She serves breakfast and evening meals, which are all fantastic. Hardly worth cooking, as food is so cheap and so delicious. Not your average burger van, she sells steak, gammon, curries. The steak is to die for and just melts in your mouth, the gammon is huge and could easily serve two kids.
Middlewood farm is a ten minute drive from Whitby and half an hour from Scarborough. Plenty of surrounding areas to see and explore and a really good base to do this from. We have just bought a caravan, and planning another trip, although, there aren't too many touring pitches so book in advance.

Overall, an excellent site with more good points than bad. Arrival was dealt with very quickly although unhappy about the surcharge for using a credit card.
Once supplied with a map of the site, we quickly found our hardstanding pitch. It is fortunate that we have an extra long mains hook-up lead as the supply was quite some distance from the pitch.
The site was very busy during our stay which led to long queues at the toilet blocks. I even had to wait for a urinal one morning! 4 showers in the block serving the caravan hardstandings and two large tent fields is woefully inadequate!
The showers were very good with a constant supply of hot water. They are timed to 5 minutes which is plenty of time.
On of my main concerns was the number of children playing around the toilet blocks which seemed to go unchecked by both the site wardens and the parents.
The other concern was the age of some children allowed to use other sex facilities. Boys as old as 9 to 10 were using the womens toilets and showers which is far too old in my opinion.
The site is superbly situated for exploring the surounding area. The cycle path (the old railway line)which runs from Whitby to Scarborough is just outside the camp and there are easy walks to either end of Robin Hood Bay.
The Bay has several pubs and restaurants, we dined at the Victoria Hotel which provides excellent bar meals along with a superb view of the surrounding area.
There is no on-site shop but there is a newly opened Sainsburys supermarket approx. 3 miles away just outside Whitby. We did not use the on-site hot food van but the smells of bacon and eggs was very tempting. The van was very busy and the prices seemed to be quite reasonable.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at this site and would certainly go back.

The reception staff were very helpful on arrival. There were 4 of us staying in the top field. This field was fairly level and even though there were a lot of people in this field it was quiet and felt spacious. The other field had mainly families on and was a bit nosier but was quiet on an evening. A warden patrols the site in a van and helps with any queries. The views out to sea are excellent.
The facilities were excellent and clean even though the site was very busy. The washrooms get very busy so go early for a shower which are hot and free. There is a food van at the entrance to the site serving breakfast and evening meals.
For shopping there is a big Sainsbury's on the outskirts of Whitby or the local store in Flyingthorpe. The pub in Flyingthorpe (5 min walk) serves good food and is reasonable but gets busy with people from the campsite.
There is a nice walk from the campsite into Robin Hoods Bay (10/15 mins) and there are a few more decent pubs here. We ate in Ye Dolphin and the food was excellent and reasonable. There is also a chippy here.
We walked into Whitby from the campsite (8miles) and returned by bus (X93) which stops in Flyingthorpe.
This is an excellent site, very family friendly and in a lovely part of Yorkshire. I can highly recommend it and will definitely going back.

I have just returned from a three day break at this site and wished it could have been longer. Well organised and friendly; with top quality wash facilities and toilets.
There is a well marked path to both village, to beach and to cycle route.
Robin Hoods Bay itself is just fifteen minutes away along an attractive woodland walk and is chock full of all types of pub and small restaurants.
No complaints. Sheep and seagulls a touch noisy, but this is the countryside after all.

We spent a weekend at this site as our usual nearby haunt was fully booked (that will teach us!)
We were sent to an overspill field at the bottom of the site which was quite some distance from the toilet block, but away from what seemed to be the busy family field.
The field we were in was quiet most of the time apart from an 'incident' one afternoon when someone was playing music intrusively loud as opposed to a bit of background music. Fortunately, this was promptly dealt with by the warden.
However, other site rules were disobeyed and not enforced namely a couple of vehicles exceeding the 10mph speed limit and cycling, scooters etc. Near the toilet blocks.
As for the toilet block, the capacity was inadequate for the number of pitches on site. I never got the chance to use the showers (after paying £10 per night for the privilege) as there was constantly a queue, even at what are usually off-peak times. I ended up using the washing-up bowl in my tent to get a wash.
There was often a queue for the toilets as well. Also, it was difficult to get to the basins just to wash my hands as there were a lot of people taking up space around the basins with toiletries spread everywhere.
I didn't use the takeaway, so I can't comment on that.
Robin Hood's Bay was at it's gorgeous best, as was Whitby. It's a wonderful walk between the two. If only the buses back ran a bit later.
Will I return to this site? I'm not in any hurry to do so.

This is a lovely camping and caravaning park with ample space between tents. This farm have dairy cows which are lovely to see and hear for the children. They do moo early in the morning but it never bothered us at all. One early morning there was a bird there that woke us up as it sounded like a car alarm which was quite funny but it just happened the once.
My family and I were there over the bank holiday just gone and even thought there were loads of tents the facilities they were always clean and we never had to queue for toilets or showers. Water pressure in the showers was good and the water was really warm.
There are 2 parks for the children. One is in the family field and the other near the static caravans. My children loved the park even though it is quite small. There is also a field to play in at the side of the park near the static caravans.
There is a burger van near the main camping field that is open from 8am - 10am (most days but not all) and 4. 30pm - 8. 30pm(most days not all). It sells cartons of milk, hot and cold drinks, cooked breakfasts(I had one this morning before we left to come home and it was gorgeous), curry's, burgers and scampi etc. We also went to the local pub (Fylingdales Inn) which is 5 minutes walk away and the food was delicious. It is a Theakston pub so you might be able to go online and look at their menu. Also in the village there is a good grocery store that sells almost everything you could need while camping and also there is a bakers and butchers.
To get to Robin Hoods Bay you have to walk through the farms own fields and nature reserve which is beautiful but bring your wellies in case it rains as can be very muddy plus there are plenty of cow pats around. My kids loved it when the cows were moved from one of the fields to the cow sheds as they walked by us very slowly so they could have a good look at them. With small children it is a 20 minute walk to get to the beach but it will be about a 10 minute walk if you have a good steady walking pace. The hills in Fylingthorpe are very steep so be prepared to get out of breath.
The staff were absolutely lovely as they are very welcoming with lovely smiles. They will do anything they can to make your stay a good one.
We will be returning.

First, the good bits! The staff were lovely, very friendly and helpful. The toilets, showers and washing up area were clean and tidy.
Now for the moan! This was our first family camping trip and we were really excited. We read the reviews of this site and they looked pretty good as did the website.
When we arrived we were shown to the ' square' field. On first impression it looked a bit bedraggled but the weather was poor so that didn't help!
As we were pitching others started to arrive and we started to realise how close we would be to other tents! When the field was full there was hardly any room between tents at all, literally no space for the kids to run around.
The field next door appeared to be a bit more spacious, this was EHU I think.
We soon realised that we were pretty far from the play areas, yet the field we were in was full of kids. When we walked round at a later point it seemed that couples and people without children were located in the field next to the play area. Somebody told us that you had to book for 7 nights to be in that field, how true, I don't know.
It seeemed a tad silly to put families miles away and people without families in what appeared to be a family area.
I am trying not to sound like a moaner and we do try to see the good in stuff but little things like only one bin/skip, pretty far away wasn't really good enough.
It was pretty expensive for what it was we think. The field we were in felt like a complete afterthought, people packed on like sardines in a poorly kept field. We appreciate that this is a working farm and that this field was probably in use the day before but maybe the campers staying there should pay less?
A lovely location, great pub nearby, friendly staff and clean facilities but we felt like we were shoved in a corner with no thought so extra money could be made!
