  • 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.

Simon M.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked What you see us what you get, this is a no frills campsite. The toilets are dated but very clean. I really enjoyed myself here, propper camping, lovely little spot. Cropton is a lovely place and the New Inn is a little gem. The food and beer is excellent. Your camping in a field (1 of 2) within a minutes walk of the pub and micro brewery. If your looking for frills or glamping this is not the place for you. However you get a lovely spot, with access to some lovely bridalways and it was less then £10 per night. Pub is very dog friendly and you can get a breakfast in the morning. Well recommended.

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.

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.
