  • 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.

What customers say

This is a well-maintained, clean, and quiet site praised for its spacious pitches and excellent family facilities, including a top-notch play area. Staff are consistently described as friendly, helpful, and welcoming. While most amenities are clean, some noted basic or occasionally unreliable facilities, with an extra charge for Wi-Fi. The site is well-located for day trips to York. A few guests experienced disappointing pitches, particularly when booking through Pitchup.

Wendy W.

All-weather electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked The whole site is very well thought out with a couple of separate meadows, good facilities block and Reception/small shop, playground and dog walk/ball pitch. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I liked the drive up to the entrance barrier and the vehicle reg recognition system.
Sheriff Hutton village and the pub and shop are walkable on a path.

Disliked The only small point was WiFi is paid for per day/week for one device only. I paid £4 for 2 days but could have done with access for more than one device for that. Not sure why it’s restricted like that

All-weather fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (super)

Liked we were welcomed and shown to our pitch by the warden who was a credit to the campsite, we had a great crack and chat with him. we took the grandchildren who loved the play area and they made new friends. Toilets and showers were basic but clean. The pitch was the best weve come across, big , water, waste water, and toilet waste all on your pitch. The local pub is about 1 mile walk, about 20 mins but worth it good pint and good food and easy to call a uber back to the site for about 4.50 pounds.

Disliked A small number of older youths about 16 or older in the play area should not have been in there spoiling and showing off a bit, it was off putting to the younger kids.

Siobhan K.

All-weather electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Beautiful well maintained site. close to local amenities and also an easy trip to York centre and the monks cross shopping parks. Modern Shower blocks with separate family bathrooms. Peaceful clean and private site. Lovely well stocked shop and welcoming friendly staff on site. The dog walk /cycle track was a great start to the mornings with a pretty little woodland. Reg plate recognition on the gate so you don’t have to mess around getting out to punch in a security code is ace! Their children’s area is really top notch. We will definitely stay again and have recommended to friends

David E.

All-weather electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Lovely friendly welcome. Good advice about the site facilities and about how best to get to York for a day trip (had hoped for a bus from near the site, but the Park & Ride option seemed more practical). Simple site with clean facilities. We had a pitch where we weren't too close to others, so nice and quiet and private.

Disliked I was there with my 6 year old grandson. He loved the zip wire, but found the other toys targeted more at younger children, which was a little disappointing.

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…
