There is a festival campsite for season ticket holders only and several commercial campites in area but not within walking distance other than possibly Stoop Cross, Whitby Holiday Village (ex Haven) Sandsend (?caravans only) .some illicit (but every year) camping in small tents in Whitby Abbey carpark)
Other sites possibly cycleable from if fit as very hilly!
If you have a non drinking driver available drive in & park up for the day - free parking not easy but public carparks probably won't be full at 9am!

tourist information should be able to provide list of campsites

Arguably the best festival of the lot, I have been going every year for about 25 years

see you there
