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.

Jacqui W. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely quiet location and fantastic pub next door with breakfast bookable in advance. Very informal, no booking in, just turn up and find your own spot. We also had a good meal in the evening. Unisex loos but with the option of a single loo if you're worried by that. Very handy for our visit to Scarborough the next day.

Disliked No fires allowed according to the sign (which other visitors ignored). I think you could officially allow fires and offer wood. 🤔 but nothing wrong as is so just a suggestion.

Liked Really relaxed camping. The toilet block is small but sufficient for the number of campers. We could pick our spot so we tried a few before we settled on where to park our van.

Disliked Nothing

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Such a gem of a place. Right next to the New Inn public house..( right result), food is out of this world, generous portions are an understatement, and the quality, second to none in my opinion.
Site manager and his wife were fantastic, after a bit of a mishap with our tent, they offered their help and advice which was greatly appreciated. Can't believe it took me to be this old before discovering this place, and we are definitely coming back......had to, bought a new tent 😂.
All round, highly recommend this place for peace, quiet and oh....nearly forgot. Their Compton's Classic beer is brilliant too. Go on, give it a look. Toilets but no showers, so don't go looking for them or complaining when you realise there ain't any. Site has no electric either, but camping is back to basics.

Disliked Nothing.....cept British Weather....... 😂 😂 😂

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.
