The camping field

  • Basic campsite 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 campsite 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 campsite with clean, simple toilet facilities and running water. It's praised for its peaceful location, spacious pitches, and proximity to the excellent New Inn pub, known for its good food, beer, and friendly staff. While some mention potential for noise from groups and basic amenities, the value for money and relaxed atmosphere are consistently highlighted, making it a popular choice for stopovers and those seeking a quiet rural break.

Liked Excellent location for exploration nearby towns. Nice walking area. Quiet location. Basic facilities but with the pub on the doorstep there's not much else we'd need. Pub is lovely, and dog friendly with excellent food and beers.

Julie B.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked We drink in the pub and don't live to far and have thought about camping here. Luckily we got a spot as last time it was full.table booked for 630pm. And a short walk from campsite to pub.dogs allowed although no noisy dogs on site.toilets available which is good as well as a tap..not a huge site but plenty of space between campers and that is a must on any site. Although some fill up.for the sake of money this was relaxing and your not on top.of each other. When we arrived there was a male cleaning the camping ground and that is coming you do not usually see very often Well done new inn.

Disliked Nothing to say .
Maybe solar lights for lighting the pathway from camping to pub.but not a dislike

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Love this place, stayed many times before. Quiet and never crowded. Nowt flashy, toilets are "functional" lol. Surrounded by trees in an old quarry. Sheleterd from any wind. Close to a great little pub with top food and good beer.

Disliked Not a dislike at all but you'll need decent pegs if you stay at the far end as it's only a few inches of soil then you hit stone.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Would definitely stay again. The food and ale in the pub was great.

Liked Great spaces to pitch up and a good vibe around the site in the evening.

Disliked The toilet block is a bit tired but then again, for £8 per night you can’t really complain.

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.
