What customers say
This is a basic, no-frills campsite adjacent to The New Inn pub, offering a peaceful atmosphere and good value. Visitors praise the friendly staff, excellent food and beer at the pub, and the convenient location for exploring the North York Moors. While facilities are described as simple, with cold water only and no showers, they are generally considered clean and adequate for short stays. Some guests encountered noise issues or boggy ground during wet weather, but many highlight the welcoming atmosphere and intention to return.

Good value for solo traveller, would visit again.
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
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.

Basic site but felt safe and wonderful pub, staff.
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
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.

Basic campsite. Great pub. Perfect for the money.
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Friendly staff and locals. Great tradition pub, warm welcome. Lovely locally brewed beers. Quality breakfast.
Peaceful camping. Very relaxing. So dark.
The campsite is a basic field and a basic toilet block. Nothing more. Nothing less, and it’s only £5 a night (out of season) what’s not to like.
Disliked Nothing really to dislike as long as your expectations are realistic and you know what you are getting.

Great place to stay
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Easy check in and able to choose where to park with my campervan. The beer they serve is great and the food did look good too although I didnt eat there. There was free WiFi too which I didn't expect.
Disliked There is zero phone signal on EE but thats not the pubs fault but worth a mention.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked We stayed here in our campervan and couldn’t have asked for better. We were a bit concerned about the weather and potentially sinking in the rain, but they were brilliant and let us stay in the car park instead, which took all the stress away.
Every member of staff we spoke to was genuinely friendly and welcoming. The evening meal was amazing and breakfast the next morning was outstanding, honestly couldn’t fault any of it.
Such a great experience from start to finish. Would absolutely stay again.
