 What a fantastic site! From the warm and friendly welcome when we arrived, to the view - it was amazing.

We came here with our 2 year old grandson, and the facilities were really good - much better than we expected. Clean toilet block, good showers, and an excellent washing up area.

We are not expert at parking up, and so our caravan was pitched for us within minutes of arriving.

I don't think words can really describe the wonderful view! Even our grandson was amazed by it, and couldn't wait to open the blinds in the caravan each morning to see the sea!

We will most definitely be coming back here.

 Stayed on August Bank Holiday weekend and the site was very busy, but we did not have to queue for long to use any of the facilities. We paid £6 for adults and £2.50 for children. The site is on a hillside and slopes slightly but this did not cause any problems. There are electric hook ups for caravans and campervans.  There is an outdoor and an indoor washing up area, which includes use of a kettle, microwave, fridge and freezer (although these were very full). The facilities include 2 men’s showers and 3 women’s showers and were kept very clean. 

The view of Robins Hoods Bay and Ravenscar is excellent, although been quite high up means it can sometimes be quite windy. On the plus side there were hardly any midges. There is a trail through the fields down to Robins Hoods Bay and it takes about 10 minutes to get to the village and maybe a further 10 minutes to the beach. There is a small shop about 10/15 minutes walk from the site.  We only went here as Middlewood Farm was full, but it proved a very good (and cheaper) alternative and the owners were very helpful and friendly.
 
Excellent location for visiting Robins Hoods Bay and Whitby.

 We arrived at the campsite to a warm welcome by Jill and was quickly shown to our pitch (the view was just fantastic!)
I had read the reviews prior to booking and was not disappointed, the toilets, showers and kitchen areas were exceptionally clean.
The only downside to using this campsite is that you don't want to leave !
It can get very windy, but if you double peg your tent you shouldn't have any problems.
We will be returning to this site without a doubt, its the best in Robin Hoods Bay.

 This was our first trip camping and we made a good choice choosing Hook House Farm. On arrival we were warmly greeted and filled in on all the facilities and etiquette of the site by the reception team. All the pitches are sloping but not too much (enough to send you to the bottom of your sleeping bag by the morning!).
 
The toilets and showers were clean and free, but there was sometimes a queue at busy times. The kitchen with it's free microwave, kettle, fridge, freezer and sinks was very useful.
 
The views of the bay from our tent were stunning, and the nearby shop stocked everything needed.
 
We shall be returning

 Wow! Irrelevant of any faults this site may have (and there aren't many) it's all worthwhile when you see the view it has. We camped at the bottom of the field where it was flat (ish) and so going to the loo was quite an effort, but still worth it. The showers and toilets fine. Everyone was really friendly and willing to help. Robin Hoods Bay is a really steep walk and ensures you get fit! I would definitely return to the site and remember not to drink too much before the walk home from RHB!

Reviewer: Pinkybijou 1 review from this member

 This was our very first camping trip with our two young children as a 'tester' for the weekend to see if we liked it. I have nothing to compare with, but if all sites are as good as this then I will be very pleased. It had been raining on the Friday when we had intended to arrive, and Jill was very honest on the telephone and advised us to delay coming until the following morning due to the rain. On our arrival she was very friendly and helped us to get organised. The field was sloping but fairly flat at the bottom, where we decided to pitch our tent.

It was very, very windy and after pitching our inner tent it took off like a huge kite and thankfully some very helpful fellow campers helped us chase it across the field and re-peg it! Despite this shaky start we soon got settled in and found the toilet and shower facilities to be absolutely spotless. I was pleasantly surprised to find a kitchen in the building next to the shower block with three sinks, a fridge, freezer, microwave and kettle - again very clean and well kept. The view from the site is absolutely amazing, and waking up to that sight in the morning sunshine was the best thing about the whole weekend. Robin Hood's bay is approx 10 minutes' walk away, though there was no footpath along the main road for the first half which was a bit hairy for walking with a pram. All in all, a lovely weekend, lovely campsite and we will re-visit in the future!

 Arrived on the Wednesday of half-term, having been advised in a helpful email from Jill to avoid the Bank Holiday weekend.

I had a choice of pitches, all with a great view, and had a fantastic peaceful two nights. There is plenty to do in the area, and it is a short and pleasant walk down to the village (with a variety of pubs and shops) and the beach. I ended up next to the field used as a play area, but all the children there for the first two days were quiet, polite and well-behaved.

The toilets and showers were basic but spotless, and I met Jill as she was filling up the loo rolls at 10.40pm!

The whole experience was only marred by the inconsiderate group who had arrived while I was out for the day on Friday - who had no regard for the rules about noise, parking topside of your tent or keeping dogs on leads, and whose many children ran around screaming for much of the evening.

On the whole though, a fantastic site, and one which I will definitely be returning to.

 We stayed at this site for a week beginning the second bank holiday weekend in May and ending the following Saturday.
When we arrived the site was very full as expected for a Bank holiday weekend, however we had booked in advance and the friendly owner, Jill, had reserved us a few pitches for the tents in our party. Costs were £5.50 per adult & £2.50 per child.
We had read about the sloping pitches and that is exactly what you get - there isn't any flat ground however the field is well drained and even in the pouring rain, mud wasn't a problem.First three days rain then sunshine (if you moved from the coast inland!)
The site and facilities are quite basic but the view more than makes up for it.
You are looking directly down on Robin Hoods Bay.
The toilets and wash basins are housed in converted porta-cabins along with the showers.These were always spotless. The showers are free however there are only two each for male and females. There is also a mixed disabled toilet in a new kitchen area which also housed washing up sinks, a useful kettle, microwave, fridge and freezer (all of which are free).
All the site was missing really was a small shop selling very basic camping needs -fresh milk, etc.but I realise that these things need staffing.
Robins Hoods Bay is only a fifteen minutes walk away with P.O, pubs etc and Whitby (with supermarket) is a ten minute drive.
Overall a very pleasant site on which we all had a great weeks holiday and one which we would all return to.

 We got blown away by this campsite- literally. Despite losing our tents to truly awful gales on the Friday night, we persisted and bought cheapy tents in Whitby then stayed the whole weekend- it is worth it. The site is gorgeous.
Handy facilities in a barn (microwave and kettle) were very useful at five in the morning for us when we were tentless! Great walks around including a short walk to Robin Hoods Bay which is gorgeous- especially at 8 in the morning when you have no tents and nothing else to do except wander into the nearest town for refuge from the howling winds!
