  • 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

A no-frills campsite by The New Inn pub, great value & peace. Staff are friendly, pub food/beer excellent. Handy for North York Moors. Simple but clean facilities. Some found it boggy or noisy, but most loved the vibe and plan to return.

Chris S.

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked Rural location next to pub, sheltered camping field, freedom to pitch wherever you wished, no marked pitches. Price for solo traveller very reasonable. Pub excellent, great service and food.

Disliked Facilities very basic and in some cases non functioning, no marked water point visible, had to use tap in amenities, evidence of several fires being lit on the ground and debris not cleared away, some litter on ground (toilet paper and wet wipes), not the owners doing but irresponsible campers.

Facilities on site advertised as basic so no surprises.

Michelle S.

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked Basic grass field with room to pitch up wherever you wanted. Pub staff friendly and welcomimg. Food amazing in the pub.

Was well described on pitch up website so we knew there would be no shower facilities and a basic toilet. The ladies toilet was clean and basic and a night light would come on when entering. I cant speak for the mens toilets but they looked from the outside to be rustic and basic too.

We found a lovely walk from the village, we're not 'walkers' but did a lovely 6km circular route.

Disliked We are newbies to campervanning and this site offered us a basic example of what going off grid would be like but with the convenience of a toilet. For us personally we would want a nicer toilet/shower block for our future bookings and we do prefer having electric hook up but this is just personal choice and not in anyway against this site as we got what we paid for an appreciated being able to book just one night during a busy season.

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.
