  • 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.

A no-frills, peaceful getaway! Enjoy the quiet, rural setting and the great food/drinks at the attached pub. Basic but clean facilities, flexible pitching, and good value. Note: ground can be hard/wet; toilets are functional, not modern.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Overall lovely location, surrounded by wooded areas and a small quarry wall. great beer and food in the pub, friendly and helpful staff.

Disliked No showers, toilets could do with an upgrade or even some new ones, maybe not shared facilities.

Been an old quarry the ground is solid and rocky to get tent pegs in, probably more suited for vans, motorhomes or tent box on car but with good pegs you’ll get fine.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked The site is really quiet and peaceful. It is extremely basic with toilets and water provided, but as we didn’t want anything fancy it seemed the perfect spot. The pub was an added bonus with friendly staff and great food.

Disliked The toilets are disgusting, no toilet roll and don’t look like they’ve been cleaned for weeks, the smell was horrendous.

Great place for a stop over!

Liked The pitch was ok pub was nice food was ok too

Disliked Well the toilets was not good at all no lights no hot water they were a bit of a mess it wouldn’t take much to make them clean and look a bit better I know the price is reasonable that’s why they haven’t been looked after if you was to put a shower make paying buy coin meter

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.
