  • Friendly site eight miles from York
  • Surrounded by a network of public footpaths
  • Well-equipped play area with zipwire and giant draughts
'All singing, all dancing' is what the friendly folk at York Meadows Caravan Park eight miles from the grand old centre of York say about their site, and after a quick perusal of the site facilities you'll likely fully agree. The location here is pretty splendid too, tucked down a private lane near the village of Sheriff Hutton, close to York but also the Yorkshire coast, and surrounded by a network of public footpaths including the Ebor Way, Wold Way and Centenary Way. (If you fancy wandering further, ask the owners for their suggestions, as they're happy hikers of these parts.) Don't want to walk too far? Wander into the friendly village instead for the village shop and to investigate the two pubs. However. The York Meadows folk also point out that guests might not want to leave the park at all… The play area is just grand, with swings, zipwire, a climbing frame and a slide, as well as outdoor table tennis, giant draughts, and snake and ladders; meanwhile, the reception shop sells all you might have forgotten such as bread and milk as well as burgers and bangers: yes, barbecues are allowed here… Don't fancy cooking? Ring one of the local takeaways and get your dinner delivered right to the site, or try a couple of the York Meadows's team's recommendations like the Highwayman Inn in Sheriff Hutton, selling homemade food using fresh local produce, or Thompsons Fish Restaurant and takeaway on Malton Road: anywhere that's won awards for its fish and chips might sound pretty grand to you too.

All-weather electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Spacious pitches, spotlessly clean facilities, which were never busy, nice friendly welcome on arrival.

Disliked Not too much of a problem for myself, however there did seem a lot of children running about, perhaps due to our location being close to park facilities.

Was a little bit out of the way, requiring a drive to shops, or drive to park and ride to visit York

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review and for choosing to stay at York Meadows Caravan Park. We’re so pleased you enjoyed the spacious pitches, clean facilities and friendly welcome from the team.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the children around the play area. During busy periods and bank holidays especially, the park can become lively with families enjoying the facilities, particularly on pitches located nearby.

As for our location, many guests enjoy the peaceful countryside setting while still being within easy reach of York via the nearby park and ride, but we understand it may feel a little further out for those wanting shops and attractions closer by.

We hope to welcome you back again in the future.

All-weather electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked The staff were really friendly and helpful en arrival. There is good space between pitches. The toilet block and showers were great. The showers were really nice and hot. The site was clean and tidy. Would really recommend this site. We didn't try the WiFi as I had my own hot spot so can't comment on that. But on the whole we had a great time and would deffo bring our children next time as the park area and football pitch would suit them. We also walked to sherriff Hutton which was nice for a wonder round. The highwayman pub was good. We didn't try food but not a bad walk from the site for a pint and a nice log fire.

Disliked Nothing.

Local attractions

Sheriff Hutton is a pretty place to start when considering the countryside around here. And then one must go Yorkwards, to the splendid city with York Minster, cobbled streets, York Dungeon, York Railway Museum, the Jorvik Viking Centre… Spend some time too among the market, shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs of the Shambles, the teeny streets that are among the most snapped shots of York. Plenty of indoor options are around if the weather decides to be a tad inconsiderate: you could dash to an indoor play centre nearby or take the tour at York's Chocolate Story (yes, tastings are included…) Bigger parks like Flamingo Land and Lightwater Valley are in the area too. Golf? Greens surrounding the park include Sandburn Hall (with other activities too), York Golf Club, Fulford Golf Club, Easingwold Golf Club and Ampleforth Golf Club. Fishing? Also popular in these parts: cast off locally at Pottery Pond, Birkdale Farm, and Brickyard Farm Lakes. And of course as it's Yorkshire, there are also piles of abbeys, castles, stately homes, historic houses and museums to visit – without even mentioning the moors or the Yorkshire coast…
