We have stayed at this idyllic CL several times now and have never been disappointed. The owners have a very busy small farm sadly, the Little Bakers Shed is no longer providing the home made produce jams chutneys, bread, scones etc. However, the local amenities are great, nearby are the market towns of Stokesley and Yarm which are well worth a visit with shops a plenty. Stockton and Middlesbrough are a short drive away if you fancy something bigger. As are Whitby, the North Yorkshire Moors and Redcar. The site itself is very well kept - no toilet or shower block but we have all those facilities on board our van - hence the "practically perfect" header. We love it here it’s peaceful and relaxing and will be returning as often as we can.
Gorgeous place
Absolutely lovely CL site , we were lucky enough to be there when lambs were born and saw Fiona hard at work.
The next day she brought the little lamb over for a cuddle, we were thrilled.

Love it!
We’ve stayed at this CL several times now and have never been disappointed. Martin and Fiona are lovely and we always receive a warm welcome. They run a very busy small farm and have a great ‘Little Bakers Shed’ with lovely home made produce jams chutneys, bread, scones etc freshly baked. Local amenities are great with a village pub serving food in Hilton and a Michelin *** rosette pub 2 miles in Maltby. Market towns of Yarm and Stokesley worth a visit with shops pubs and restaurants. We love it here it’s peaceful and relaxing. A previous posting on here was way off the mark and not sure where they stayed to be honest. We’ll see you again soon though and keep doing what you’re doing it’s fab.

Great Site
Booked Greenfields Farm C/L as it was close to see relative.
Site is slightly sloping, three pitches at one end and two pitches lower down.
Entry to site was easy and two mirrors sited for ease of exit.
Fresh water, waste water, elsan point and three dustbins for rubbish.
Contrary to a previous entry the grass was well kept and even cut while we were there.
There is a pub the Falcon within a ten minute walk and we tasted a Parmo, a Middlesborough dish, very nice too, but unless a good appetite just have a regular.
Overall a well kept value for money site, will be back.
Absolute Gem.
Love this CL, Martin and Fiona are great hosts and keep the site neat and tidy.
The views from the site are stunning and so much wildlife on the door step. We loved watching the lambs playing and listening to the call of the Curlews, we even saw Curlew chicks from the caravan window. Every night we watched the local Barn Owl on the hunt around the nearby fields. On walks around the area, which there are plenty of, we saw dear and Trout rising in the nearby river Leven.
Walking distance from the site the village pub serves great beer and fabulous food.
The Fiona’s farm shop just outside the site entrance provides great home made sweet treats, bread and free range eggs etc.
Nearby are the market towns of Stokesley and Yarm which are well worth a visit. Whitby, the North Yorkshire Moors and the Dales are just a short drive away.
So if you want peace and quiet and lots of nature this is a perfect CL.
Can’t thank Martin and Fiona enough for making us feel so welcome.
Disappointing
We booked this site for one night only when we were planning our Yorkshire road trip. We’re just glad it was only the one night. Could not get near enough to the water tap to fill up our Motorhome, despite having a reasonably long hose. The owner had fenced the tap off, because he had previously towed out two Motorhomes that had got stuck in the mud earlier in the year, but no alternative solution was offered, so we had to fill by hand using a two gallon water container. The grass needed mowing. Somebody had allowed their dog to foul the only available pitch for us, so we had to clear that up, we’re not dog owners ourselves.
The shop mentioned in previous reviews, was in fact, just a small shed, with some items for sale. Didn’t see any meat in the fridge to purchase. When enquired about wool to purchase, was informed, Oh, it’s still on the sheep.
When we went to pay, couldn’t get anyone to answer the door, so had to leave the money with a lodger in another part of the property. A delivery driver was having a problem delivering a parcel as well.
The owner’s description of their site on the CAMC website sounded idyllic, but in reality fell far short. It really needs a lot of tlc to bring it up to standard and an accessible water tap for Motorhomes.
Such a shame, as we thought it was going to be a great find, but wasn’t.
Loved it
First time we have really been to a site with no ‘block’, but we are self sufficient so not a problem. Fiona was lovely as was the seasonal chutney and scones, from a great little hut full of goodies. Had it to ourselves, first night great weather so we had a b b q as the sunset, gorgeous, and farmy stuff was going on as we did. Terrence the turkey decided to adopt us, which was lovely, and the whole stay was tranquil. Pubs either way two miles max, we went into Yarm to see friends on the second night, taxi cost was £15 return. We will be back.
What a find
Just had a great weekend on this CL. Double gates lead to a spacious fairly level grass field. Helpful markers on each pitch although pitch spacing is quite relaxed. Recycling, water and elsan points in one corner and are well kept and very clean. The owners farm shop has fantastic home made produce including cheese and fruit scones, homemade bread, flapjacks etc. Also beautiful homemade jams and chutneys, if you're lucky, you might catch their own honey but sounds like you have to be quick. Their own eggs are also on sale. The farm shop is open from morning until dusk. Make sure to stop and brush Cinnamon the very friendly pig on the way to the shop, the brush is hanging on the fence post and she loves the attention. Easy walking distance to the pretty village of Hilton and The Falcon does great meals, enormous fish and chips and their famous Parmos, the large one is a challenge! Yarm is 4 miles away and Stokesley is 5 miles away and are both worth a visit. We will definitely be coming back.

Lovely, peaceful site - with a fabulous small farmers shop attached.
We’ve just spent 2 very peaceful nights at this lovely CL. The pitches are all grass and quite level. Each pitch has electricity and there is a rap and waste facilities in the corner of the site. As this is a working farm all the pitches overlook a field with sheep and other animals. There is a small farmers shop next to the site selling delicious scones, ham and bread. We had some and they were lovely!
Phone signal was ok. The site is near Hilton village which has a pub but not much else. Yarm is 4 miles away which I cycled too. This is a lovely CL. Thank you x
Little Gem
This was our second time on this site and we will be back, Very clean and really good views all around, The bread and scones are MMMMMM. Well worth the £12.50 per night
