  • Peaceful dog-friendly site surrounded by the Yorkshire countryside
  • A 20-minute drive to York, the Yorkshire Wolds Way and Castle Howard
  • Walk to the Northwood Trail, a café and restaurant; farm shop nearby
A chilled drink in hand, the Yorkshire Wolds on the horizon and a belly full of fresh farm food grilled on your barbecue… that’s one way to spend an afternoon at Beech Farm. Other ways include hiking out into the Yorkshire Wolds (the site is around 20 minutes’ drive from the Yorkshire Wolds Way for long-distance hikes) or setting about exploring the immediate countryside. A 20-minute drive from York, this is a peaceful escape for any city dwellers… or indeed, a wise spot for those looking to check out its chocolate-making history, historic minster and Shambles shopping street from a base that’s in the countryside. The gorgeous site is half a mile back from a main road and has views across the fields, woods and the distant Yorkshire Wolds. The site is simply a beautiful field with a rustic toilet, shower and wash-up block, so it’s just the place for those seeking a back to basics break and lots of peace and quiet. Handily, dogs are very much welcome too. Yorkshire strolls might be next up. If so, the three-mile Northwood Trail is just 15 minutes’ walk from the site too. On the trail, there’s a restaurant, café and a simple playground. If you’re after more tasty things to eat (or to take back for a barbecue), there’s a farm shop and café five minutes’ drive away (or a 45-minute walk away), as well as a cluster of pubs in Stamford Bridge (five minutes’ drive or 45 minutes’ walk).

Liked: Nice and quiet campsite with plenty of level/ flat camping space. The toilet and washing facility's were immaculate! I noticed they were cleaned several times during our visit. Great location, with hardly any light pollution for those star gazers.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: We really loved this site. It was so quiet and peaceful. The location was perfection, on a gorgeous well kept farm. The owner was lovely and popped over to make sure we had settled in and said it was fine for us to take the little one to see the cows. One thing we really appreciated was the kettle, made life that little bit easier! The toilet facilities were great and the showers were amazing, really hot! We will definitely be coming back again. Thank you for having us Beech farm x

Disliked: We didn't dislike anything!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Really friendly owners who have taken the time to ensure that the basic facilities provided as well maintained and high quality. Perfect for that 'camping' experience but still wanting to have access to a flushing toilet and a shower! The farm itself is beautiful and well situated for some glorious views and the field flat enough for multiple pitches of various sizes. Would highly recommend.

Disliked: Probably just bad timing on our part but the neighbouring 'glamping' site seemed to have a festival/event the one night we were there... howling party-goers and awful music until the early hours of the morning despite the large distance between sites.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely feedback and glad you had a nice time. The nearby festival was unknown to us and kept us all awake too, we hope to forwarn future campers looking forward, but these events with our neighbours are very few

Liked: Everything absolutely amazing the complementary treats like hair dryer coffee toilet roll was thoughtful . My son made friends with the neighbours little chickens donkeys pigs and added bonus the farmers children who came to knock at our tent to call for Finley was so adorable. We had a peaceful outdoor enjoyable stay here would be back tomorrow if we could see u next summer. Many thanks

Liked: Me and my girlfriend recently visited beechwood farm and we could not of been happier with our stay, the facilities were spot on. And the space for our dog was great too!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We received a warm welcome from the owner who was busy on his working farm but still came to say hi. Nice hot showers and plug sockets to charger any devices. Pitch where you like set up was good. Lots of space for my dogs to chase the ball. Would return again. £22 for 5 of us to stay, have a hot shower and charge devices was a bargain. Thank you.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike. You can see this is a new set up and a work in progress for them. Everyone has to start somewhere and planning permission is due. Good luck.

Local attractions

Soaking in some of Yorkshire’s history should be no hard feat around here. Start with the rural side of Yorkshire at Murton Park (10 minutes’ drive), which is a farming museum with 14 acres of playgrounds, animals and historic areas all about Yorkshire farms in the present and past. Castle Howard (20 minutes) is a similar spot with a historic house and estate, playground and walks where the fashionable Howard family have strolled for 300 years or so. Keep up your history-themed tour with a visit to the National Railway Museum York (half an hour) or welcome a bit of wildlife art into your itinerary with a look around the Robert Fuller Gallery Ltd (20 minutes) - and see what inspiration strikes for when you’re relaxing around the green spaces at Beech Farm. Any folk who have come prepared with all their hiking gear and who are itching to get going will get in a good, long hike around the Yorkshire Wolds Way (around 20 minutes), a Wolds trail totalling 79 miles. Failing that, the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (25 minutes) has a gorgeous set of trails.
