Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: This campsite was perfect for us as a base to spend time on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. It is an easy walk from Grosmont Station, along a quiet lane. The facilities are superb, with plenty of parking, wheelbarrows and easy access from the carpark to the camping area. The hot water worked throughout our stay and the covered seating area was so helpful for making tea and coffee on a windy morning. The tuck shop/reception offers a great range of things to buy and rent, and everywhere is spotlessly clean: I've used my fair share of compost toilets and these are a cut above! The camping field is open enough not to feel crowded by other campers and the views are gorgeous all around. At night the stars were so clear, we spent some time just staring up at them. We will definitely be coming back to stay and to explore some of the great walking routes we saw on this trip.
Disliked: There was nothing really to dislike. I had a query about the facilities and this was handled promptly, helpfully and very graciously by our hostess, and I had the impression that any other issues would be equally well addressed.

Liked: The owners were super lovely and friendly. Facilities were always clean. Others guests were always quiet and respectful. Car park close to the pitch field. Lovely views. Close to places we wanted to visit (Robin hood’s bay, falling foss, Whitby). USB charging facilities. Condiments available for us to use were a god send when we ordered pizza.

Liked: Great facilities, hot running water, nice dry space to sit in, communal camp fire
Disliked: Owners are very strict on the campsite being a quiet space, wouldn’t recommend for those who like to have a drink on an evening

From the manager: Many thanks for staying with us recently. We are indeed a quiet, off grid low impact site that is not suited to partying. This is though clearly stated on our listing and our terms and conditions. Whilst we will do our best to take a pragmatic approach to the rules on this occasion, you gave us no option but to intervene. You were playing loud music which despite a polite reminder you proceeded to play, were then shouting to each other across the site (leading to complaints from other guests) and whilst so inebriated that you could barely walk had to be asked by us to leave another camper’s tent that you had invited yourself into and when you did leave (in a most inebriated manner) you still proceeded to shout and make out that there would be a party held at your pitch at midnight… This was totally unacceptable behaviour (on most sites I would expect). So, yes, in such circumstances where behaviour is clearly totally unacceptable, breaches terms annd conditions and negatively affecting other guests stays, we will absolutely intervene in order that other guests are able to enjoy their stay.
Excellent site very peaceful and relaxing.

Liked: Owners Gavin and Caroline are great the site is peaceful and relaxing with amazing views over the valley. The facilities are well maintained and clean. The site is about 4 miles from the Whitby park and ride which is cheaper and easier than trying to park in Whitby. Plenty of country walks in the area.
