  • 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.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Excellent pitches,plenty of room and space between them, it is a lovely location, quiet and peaceful. The site is very well maintained but the highlight for us was the shower block. In the block there are individual cubicles which contain a shower cabinet, toilet and a wash sink. They are kept clean and in good order.
This is something we have only seen abroad.

Disliked No dislikes, there is no Wi Fi which was no problem to us but maybe it would be to some people.

Liked Peaceful location
Generous size of pitch. Nice grass area as well as hardstanding.
Water and Electric available on pitch
Not far to toilets and showers.
All the facilities were clean.
Easy to access with motorhome
Good communication
Family could visit during day
Easy to get into York. We used a taxi was only £7 in but as coming back later in the evening was £13, but still £20 return for 2 people is not bad. There are buses, and park and ride is close by.

Liked Really peaceful site with beautiful flat pitches and well kept grounds.

Only £10 from the site into York city centre so great for going out for dinner etc

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.
