Showground campsite in Whitby with tents, caravans and motorhomes, five minutes' walk from Whitby Abbey and the Cleveland Way, with basic facilities and no showers.

## About Abbey Farm Showfield

When you want Whitby's gothic drama without the price tag, Abbey Farm Showfield delivers brilliantly. This vast, no-frills showground sits just five minutes' walk from Whitby Abbey and the top of the famous 199 Steps, with the Cleveland Way long-distance path slinking past barely 300 feet away. Campers praise the unbeatable location and friendly welcome, though facilities are deliberately basic – there are loos and chemical disposal points, but no showers, so come prepared for back-to-basics camping.

The site's generous space means you can park right by your pitch and spread out, perfect for families, bikers, or anyone towing a commercial unit. Whitby town centre, beaches, and the Captain Cook Museum are all within a 10-minute stroll, while Whitby Brewery sits practically next door. Dogs are welcome year-round, barbecues encouraged, and the scenery across the headland is spectacular – just don't expect luxury washrooms to match those knockout views.

Christopher Luckup ★★★★★

A beutifull quiet lil farm field in Aisalby. With the bus stop just a couple of mins walk down the road and in ten mins your in Whitby.. The only downside was theres no toilet or washing facilitys there.. Just a field with water and electric..and beutifull views overlooking Whitby.
