Grass pitches

  • Well-maintained pitches behind a friendly rural pub in Yedingham
  • Castle Howard, Flamingo Land and beaches within a half-hour drive
  • Beer garden, playground, river fishing and home-cooked meals
Pitching up by a pub – that’s always a fine idea. Settle in for a tasty dinner, and as many drinks as you wish, then simply stroll across the garden to get to your bed without any worries over who’s going to drive. And it’s an even finer idea if the pub in question is a cosy, friendly place like the Providence Inn in the village of Yedingham, around a 15-minute drive from Malton. There’s a cheery Yorkshire welcome for all guests here, be they families, groups, couples or single travellers – the folk on site just request that all visitors respect each other (and the neighbours) by keeping the hubbub down after midnight. (Please do note that there is likely to be a bit of noise from the pub/beer garden in the evenings though – such is the way with pubs…) Life here is pretty relaxed and informal – guests can pick their pitches, and are welcome to light up barbecues or build fires in firepits (as long as they're kept off the grass). Along with basic bathroom facilities (cleaned twice daily), there’s access to the River Derwent for those who’ve brought along a fishing licence and asked permission. Pike are the most likely catch, but there have been sightings of other slippery species around here too. And so to dinner… home-cooked food is served seven days a week in the pub (you're advised to book in advance for meals, and take note that on Sundays, the kitchen closes at 5pm), and it gets a thumbs up from the locals, who have been known to drive a considerable number of miles to get their dinner here. There’s a good-sized beer garden for alfresco drinks on fine days, and a generous play area to keep kids entertained while the grownups nurse their drinks nearby.

This is a friendly, welcoming campsite with a popular on-site pub offering good value food. Pitches are generally spacious and level, with a lovely play area for children. While facilities are basic and some visitors noted they could be cleaner or better maintained, the overall experience is positive with many recommending the site for its relaxed atmosphere and convenient location for exploring the area. Noise from the pub can occasionally be an issue for those on nearby pitches.

Danny S.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Decent little site and for £15 I honestly cannot grumble I used for the night with my wife as we were passing through. Site was quiet and staff and landlady very welcoming and pleasant. We had a few drinks and food and it was reasonably priced. I’ve stayed at worse places for a lot more money. It’s cheap priced, probably the cheapest pitch up by far with facilities. Toilet was clean, shower was being refurbed but the disabled toilet had a shower and was a good size.

Free WiFi in the pub but unfortunately didn’t reach my van.

Vale of Pickering campsite just up the road does a cracking breaky you can just enter the site great to stop for the onward journey.

Disliked Lots of wasps but in their defence the whole country is horrendous at the moment.

Sam M.

Electric grass pitch

Liked We stayed here for a week in a trailer tent along with two other families who were allowed to pitch next to us. The electric hook up pitches were a good size, ground was easy to peg out.

The site is very basic with 2 mens toliets, 1 ladies, 1 shower and a disabled toliet/shower. But for the price we was expecting much.

The play ground was excellent and the kids enjoyed it.
We had no noise issues from the pub or other campers. I liked the later 11pm noise curfew.
The location of the site is great for visiting Whitby, Scarborough, the forest, Flamingoland and Eden camp.
I enjoyed the site and would come back. The food at the pub was decent. It also had WiFi.

Disliked Wasps were a pain but it seems to be the same everywhere at the moment.

Only one ladies toilet and the shower was out of action for half our stay so had to use the disabled one. It just meant a bit of a wait in the mornings. Also toliets could be doing with more frequent checks as they keep running out of loo roll.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Nice little site, facilities basic but perfectly useable. The pub has Black Sheep ale which was a bonus.

Disliked Pub food was okay, like the site a bit basic but edible. Avoid the fish as mine was a bit odd looking like it had been frozen for a long time or not very fresh.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Well worth a visit. Central location for getting out and about.

Local attractions

To work up an appetite for dinner, drive north for about 15 minutes to the North York Moors National Park, head west for the Howardian Hills (25 minutes) or make a break for the beaches and coast path around Filey and Scarborough (both about half an hour away) or Whitby (45 minutes). A bit of history as you roam? Stop in at Castle Howard (25 minutes) to stroll through the elegant gardens, visit the stunning stately home and seek out the secret island. Swish Scampston Hall (10 minutes) is also worth a stop, and there’s more recent history on display among the 20th-century exhibits at Eden Camp history museum (15 minutes). For more rural pursuits, join the pretty pink birds at Flamingo Land (20 minutes) or puff through the countryside on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway from Pickering (15 minutes). When you fancy a change of scenery, head to York (45 minutes) for a day of visits to the minster, the city walls, the Jorvik Viking Centre, the railway museum, the chocolate museum…
