  • 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.

Colin C. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Spacious pitches, quiet considering the proximity to major roads. Ease of access

Disliked: Poorly designed and tired facilities block. The combined shower, toilet and washbasin might work if there were lots more of them! At 9am I found myself waiting to use the loo and there was only 5 units on the site!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Colin, thank you for taking the time to write a review, we are sorry that you were not happy and will not be visiting us again. I note your comments re the toilets, there are in fact 9 in total and most people like the fact that the shower, toilet and WHB are all combined together in the same room.

Fantastic all round

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Great communication and details on how to access the site. Well lit for the hour we got there. clean showers with good hot water. Big gravel pitch. Nice and close to the park and ride but Rawcliffe Bar is better for the motorhomes and campers.

Anonymous The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Well set out site ,all hardstanding pitches with electric and tap.plenty of room to manoeuvre.Good lighting,secure barrier entry. Good correspondence with the owner re : pitch number and barrier code before arrival. Unlike some reviews,we didn’t hear the road noise. Good location for accessing York ,just off the A 64, Do watch out for the brown sign,as we missed it.

Disliked: Thought the shower block needed a complete overhaul .However ,it was clean and liked the individual shower rooms . As there was no warden on after 5 pm , I felt vulnerable as there was no one to contact in the event of an emergency.

From the manager: Hi Andrea, thanks for the review, sorry that you will not be visiting us again. We do advise that reception is not manned full time. We can be contacted via mobile at any time.

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.
