  • 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, water hook-ups and access to a chemical disposal area. 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

Beechwood Caravan Park offers a peaceful and clean environment with spacious, level pitches, many fully serviced. The individual shower/toilet cubicles are a highlight, as is the convenient location for accessing York via park and ride. Staff are consistently praised for friendliness and helpfulness. While some found the facilities basic and unheated, the overall consensus is positive, with many visitors recommending the site and planning return visits. Minor issues include distant road noise and the need for clearer signage at the entrance.

Liked Really quiet site close to the centre or park and rides. Site surrounded by trees!

Disliked toilets / showers. 3 male and 4 female. They were also fairly cold even given the time of year.

John Paul L.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Convenient for Park & Ride into York

Disliked On arrival, visually the site was disappointing having the appearance of neglect - many pitches large weeds. This could easily have been addressed when pitches were vacant - the site never appeared very busy with low occupancy.
We were on Pitch 27 which was right opposite the children's play area - although there was a sign stating children should be supervised, we never saw parents there.
Too many dogs were not on leads when being walked. The couple next to us had a dog where its lead was tethered to a stake but it was that long it was often at the steps of our caravan - we told the couple and they parked their motorhome the opposite way which remedied the problem.
The 'facilities' block was acceptable but looked very tired in places - even many loose slabs around the approach.
No WiFi.

Christopher J.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Size of pitch and distance between them. Very clean showers. Coded access at barrier. Really easy access to buses, park and ride and large supermarkets

Disliked Road noise is unavoidable on a site near a city but still feels like being rural.

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.
