The camping field

  • Basic camping field adjoining a pub near Pickering in North Yorkshire
  • A 20-minute drive to Flamingo Land Resort; 40 to the beach at Whitby
  • All-day catering and brewery tours available at the pub
Like the sound of wild camping within staggering distance of a brew-pub? Pick yourself a pitch at The New Inn, a camping field in the North Yorkshire village of Cropton, on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors. Back to basics this campsite may be, with simple grass pitches sheltered by trees, but there are a fair few advantages thrown in to make life easy for you. For starters, there’s no need to worry about getting the stove going first thing in the morning, as breakfasts are available in the adjoining pub – what better way to start your day than with a full English and a decent cup of coffee or tea? And it's not just breakfast – delicious home-cooked dishes are served throughout the day (although if you prefer the self-catering route, barbecues are allowed on the pitches). You can also sample beers brewed at the bottom of the pub garden – tours of the brewery can be arranged with the owners on arrival at the site. Please note that facilities on site are fairly minimal – there are toilets and running water but no power, so bring torches with you from home so you can find the way back to your pitch from the pub at night.

What customers say

This is a back-to-basics, no-frills campsite, praised for its excellent value and peaceful atmosphere. Pitches are spacious, and visitors appreciate the freedom to choose their spot. The adjacent New Inn pub receives widespread acclaim for its friendly staff, delicious food, and on-site brewery. While facilities are basic, they are generally clean and functional. Some guests experienced noise from other campers, and a minority noted issues with toilet cleanliness or the ground conditions in wet weather. Overall, it's a highly recommended, relaxed stopover.

Emma K.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Nothing! Don't stay here ! We have over the years done lots of camping this site is a shambles!

Disliked Turned up on the Friday night 7.30 ish to be greeted with an overgrown field. Absolutely disgusting. The toilet block over the road... unlit road on a bend . Annoying as the asked for names of people on booking and sges do knew we had a child. Felt really bad for man behind behind who trued his hardest. Lady on phone couldn't get a hoot.
Field 1 was full with camper vans who had booked whoke field wasn't willing to let us have a pitch. Got offered a plot in beet garden. No mention of 2 fields. Did get a refund from bar man as now 8.30 scrambling for somewhere to stay. Do not stay here owners don't give a toss. Can't even say was cheap as previous week paid £45 and electric!!

Local attractions

Camping at The New Inn puts you in prime position for exploring the North Yorkshire Moors on two legs or two wheels. You could even try travelling under steam, as trains on the vintage North Yorkshire Moors Railway leave from Pickering (10 minutes’ drive) and stop at Goathland (half an hour – and as seen in the Harry Potter films) on their way to the East Yorkshire coast. This is also a great base for families, as the thrill rides and animal encounters of Flamingo Land Resort (20 minutes) should easily keep everybody entertained all day. To run off any excess energy, spend a day on the high ropes and Segway trails at Go Ape Dalby (25 minutes), or let the kids loose on the beach at Whitby (40 minutes) or Scarborough (45 minutes). To add some culture into the mix, visit the Gothic-era minster and see how the Vikings lived at JORVIK Viking Centre in historic York (45 minutes), or mug up on World War II events at Eden Camp Modern History Museum (20 minutes). Closer to base, Pickering Castle (10 minutes) offers up exhibitions in the chapel along with wonderful views over the moors.
