About Marfit Head Farm Caravan and Campsite
Tucked into the North Yorkshire moorland near Saltersgate, Marfit Head Farm is a family-friendly farm site that strikes a welcome balance between simplicity and comfort. Pitches come with electric hook-up, and the facilities – showers, toilets, drinking water – are reliably maintained, though don't expect Wi-Fi here; it's genuinely off-grid in that respect. Dogs are welcome, making it popular with walkers keen to explore the surrounding moors and forestry tracks.
The location is the real draw: you're well-placed for Dalby Forest, Pickering, and the dramatic sweep of the North York Moors National Park. The site itself is straightforward rather than fancy – a working farm with a practical, no-frills approach – but for many that's precisely the appeal. A solid, honest base for a moorland break.

What visitors say
Very happy we found this site. Large pitches with ehu and lovely facilities at a great price. Our kids loved the cow themed facilities and the small play area. The shaded dog exercise area was fab for the 32° heat. They've thought of so many little things! We will definitely be back.

Having stayed only for a too short amount of time to appreciate the care the owners take to this place. Shoutout to UK Steve & Steve who would be so pleased to know we enjoyed the stay with our carfull of friends. Facilities are spacious and clean with cute little cow facts pinned to the wall to ready while cleaning the dishes. What we paid was more than reasonable, highly recommend!

Awesome campsite. Lovely toilets and showers. It's a working farm so lots of different animals and free range chickens. I would buy animal food if it was available. Fresh eggs for sale and I got 2foot away from a cow. We will be back my van was lost on the huge pitch. Thank you for 2 really good nights.

Lovely site with plenty of water points and large pitch sizes with plenty of space between them. Really enjoyed our stay with plenty of farm animals around, cows, chickens, pigs and donkeys. Some noise from road, more so during day, only a real pain when a flotilla of motor bikes heading to Whitby go by but you get used to it. Very handy for Whitby Scarborough and goathland. Overall a very relaxing break definitely recommend
