  • Family-friendly caravan park in a rural spot just off the A64
  • A 10-minute drive from central York; park and ride close by
  • Peaceful eight-acre site with spacious serviced pitches
York, oh yes indeed – and as many times as you fancy popping in too… As the name suggests, Beechwood Caravan Park York is in a most handy spot for days out in this splendid city – it’s just off the A64 and about a 10-minute drive from the city centre (or a stress-free bus ride from the park and ride two miles away). Not that you’d guess either of those facts while staying at this peaceful rural North Yorkshire site: it’s a private and sheltered spot spread over eight acres surrounded by mature trees and hedgerows. There’s plenty of space on the pitches, all of which have electric hookups and access to a chemical disposal area and recycling facilities. Other facilities at this family-friendly touring site include a washing-up area and male, female and unisex/family bathrooms with toilets, basins and full-height showers with free hot water. (Please note the facilities are not heated) Visiting York several times is a fine idea, of course, allowing you to explore the city at your leisure rather than cramming it all in. This is, however, one of those particularly fine spots where you really can mix up a bit of city time, a bit of country time and a bit of coast time. Shake things up a bit by getting to the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in about 15 minutes’ drive, the North York Moors National Park in 40 minutes and the coast at Bridlington in an hour or so.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, spacious campsite with large, level pitches, many featuring water and electric hook-ups. The facilities, including individual shower/toilet cubicles, are generally reported as clean and well-maintained. Its excellent location offers easy access to York via park-and-ride or a short taxi journey. Staff are frequently praised for being friendly and helpful. Some guests noted road noise, unheated shower blocks, and a lack of Wi-Fi, but overall feedback is very positive, with many guests planning return visits.

 Sharon S. 15 reviews

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked The security is great with a number activated barrier just off the road. This is the start of the longest access we’ve come across in many years of camping and caravans
The initial information provided was great we had the access code and our pitch number but we were still met by Kate who was so helpful and very welcoming.
The pitches are all flat and spacious and we had our own water supply
Four shower cubicles which also had a toilet and sink plus a more spacious easy access one for women and the same for men
A nice laundry room which also had lots of useful information provided.
Proximity to the York stadium and the city of York

Disliked The showers were basic and looked to have been in for a number of years so perhaps need an upgrade
If every pitch had been occupied I doubt we would gave been able to use the facilities
Also quite noisy from the nearby road and several late arrivals and early leavers
No shop within walking distance (nearest we found was Asda at Monks Cross approximately 40 mins walk but quick if you rrove

Karen J. 15 reviews

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked We've stayed here a few times now, usually during the week when it's a bit quieter. Weekends are busier but we find people still respectful and it's still a quiet site.
Laundry (paid) 1 washer and dryer available.
Separate shower blocks for men and women. Only had to wait a few mins once for a shower, it was just bad timing because when I came out all 4 women's showers we're available.
Spacious gravel pitches with plenty of grass around.
Water and electric on pitch.
Plenty of bins, drive over waste water drop and chemical disposal.
Walking distance to a bus stop to get you into York. Taxis are really cheap into the city too.
Communication is good beforehand and throughout
Christine has greeted us the last couple of times and is friendly.
We'll be staying again when in the area.

Liked Nothing

Disliked Out dated toilet and shower facilities dirty and needs a complete overhaul the cost of this site is way over priced we booked in for 5 nights we only stayed for one night and left early the next day

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Paul.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review and we are sorry to hear that you did not like the site.
We appreciate all reviews, both positive and negative but we do feel that your review of the site as 1/10 is very disappointing.
Looking at other sites in the area price wise we are below some and slightly above others but they do not always include electric in the shown prices.
Every site is different as is everyone's expectations and we hope that you find a site that is more suited to your requirements.

Highly recommend

Local attractions

Naturally you’ll want to start with York, for history-tinged days at the Jorvik Viking Centre and the minster, strolls down the Shambles, (free) engine-gazing at the National Railway Museum, cruises on the Ouse and sweet tales at York’s Chocolate Story. And then? Maybe for more excellent architecture at Castle Howard (25 minutes’ drive) or Ripon cathedral (45 minutes), or a journey back to the past with a steam railway ride on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (an hour)? Or perhaps turn eyes to the skies with a trip to the Yorkshire Air Museum (10 minutes)? If you’re of the opinion that no visit to the countryside is complete until you’ve brushed a pig or milked a cow, you can get such things sorted at Piglets Adventure Farm (10 minutes). Thirsk racecourse (40 minutes) is the place if you’d rather see the horses going full pelt, while Flamingo Land Resort (half an hour) should be on the list if you’d rather hurtle along rides or meet exotic beasts. Beach time? It’s around an hour’s drive to Bridlington for a classic British seaside day out – think funfairs, amusements, donkey rides and tasty portions of fish and chips.
