  • Neatly kept grass pitches 20 minutes’ walk from Pickering
  • Flamingo Land Resort five minutes’ drive; Castle Howard 20 minutes
  • Price includes entry to Pickering Country Fair during your stay
A stay at Galtres Pickering Showground – refurbished for 2025 – includes entry to the family-friendly Pickering Country Fair during your stay. As well as mounted games displays, falconry, dog shows and heavy horses, the show features lots to do for all the family as well as evening entertainment (on Friday and Saturday only) – all included in the ticket price. There’s a bar and catering available on Friday evening, all day on Saturday and until 4pm on Sunday too. The level camping field itself is sheltered by mature trees and neatly mowed; simple facilities include portable toilets, Elsan points, rubbish disposal and water points. On Friday and Sunday, you can get stuck into an evening barbecue (bring your own gear and buy bits to grill in Pickering's shops, 20 minutes’ walk), but if you’d rather check out a few local pubs and restaurants, you have quite a choice, and there are takeaways in town too. If you’re staying over for the whole weekend, you might also have a chance to try the scenic rail journey from the town's station on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway or take a day trip to somewhere like Castle Howard or Flamingo Land Resort.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Great that we could have a fire.
Staff were very friendly.
Fantastic that we could enter the show for free.
Nearby to Pickering town centre.
Large pitch and no extra charge for extra tents on the same pitch.

Disliked We booked though pitch up.com which gave us the information that we could arrive from 11am. Other people who booked direct had been told 12pm. In reality we couldn't get in until 12.30pm. Had we known this wouldn't have been an issue but as we didn't we were sat in a queue waiting in hot weather, potentially missing an activity we'd booked nearby for that afternoon.
No showers although we were aware of this and only there one night so was fine.
Sign went up to saying that a particular water point was no drinking water later on during our stay after we had already drank from there.
