A stay at Galtres Pickering Showground – refurbished for 2025 – includes entry to the family-friendly Pickering Country Fair during your stay. As well as mounted games displays, falconry, dog shows and heavy horses, the show features lots to do for all the family as well as evening entertainment (on Friday and Saturday only) – all included in the ticket price. There’s a bar and catering available on Friday evening, all day on Saturday and until 4pm on Sunday too. The level camping field itself is sheltered by mature trees and neatly mowed; simple facilities include portable toilets, Elsan points, rubbish disposal and water points. On Friday and Sunday, you can get stuck into an evening barbecue (bring your own gear and buy bits to grill in Pickering's shops, 20 minutes’ walk), but if you’d rather check out a few local pubs and restaurants, you have quite a choice, and there are takeaways in town too. If you’re staying over for the whole weekend, you might also have a chance to try the scenic rail journey from the town's station on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway or take a day trip to somewhere like Castle Howard or Flamingo Land Resort.
