Our pitch
Pool bridge farm, wild swimming for adults and children a 20 minute drive from site
Dreamers gardens. a ten minute walk from the site through the woods

  • Peaceful dog-friendly site surrounded by the Yorkshire countryside
  • A 20-minute drive to York, the Yorkshire Wolds Way and Castle Howard
  • Walk to the Northwood Trail, a café and restaurant; farm shop nearby
A chilled drink in hand, the Yorkshire Wolds on the horizon and a belly full of fresh farm food grilled on your barbecue… that’s one way to spend an afternoon at Beech Farm. Other ways include hiking out into the Yorkshire Wolds (the site is around 20 minutes’ drive from the Yorkshire Wolds Way for long-distance hikes) or setting about exploring the immediate countryside. A 20-minute drive from York, this is a peaceful escape for any city dwellers… or indeed, a wise spot for those looking to check out its chocolate-making history, historic minster and Shambles shopping street from a base that’s in the countryside. The gorgeous site is half a mile back from a main road and has views across the fields, woods and the distant Yorkshire Wolds. The site is simply a beautiful field with a rustic toilet, shower and wash-up block, so it’s just the place for those seeking a back to basics break and lots of peace and quiet. Handily, dogs are very much welcome too. Yorkshire strolls might be next up. If so, the three-mile Northwood Trail is just 15 minutes’ walk from the site too. On the trail, there’s a restaurant, café and a simple playground. If you’re after more tasty things to eat (or to take back for a barbecue), there’s a farm shop and café five minutes’ drive away (or a 45-minute walk away), as well as a cluster of pubs in Stamford Bridge (five minutes’ drive or 45 minutes’ walk).

What customers say

Peaceful, well-kept farm site with spacious pitches & great views. Clean, modern loos with extras. Friendly owners & animals a hit, great for families. Mostly excellent, though some found loos basic and wanted more facilities.

Unpowered grass tent, caravan or trailer tent site

Liked Lovely campsite, would definitely recommend! Spacious and plenty flat space for our berghaus 6xl. The kids absolutely loved being on a working farm – they were thrilled with the animals and tractors, which kept them entertained for hours. The farmer was so friendly and welcoming, which really added to the experience. A great spot for families looking for something a bit different

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review- we loved having you!

Unpowered grass tent, caravan or trailer tent site

Liked Lovely location super friendly. Very easy. Beautiful site

Disliked Just not enough toilets or showers - two between two fields of tents. Always a long queue is difficult with kids.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I’m afraid the nature of going anywhere on a bank holiday will always mean queuing somehow, weather that be on the roads, to use the facilities or for fish and chips at the seaside! There are never queues on normal weekends.
Very glad you liked the site, thank you. Hope to see you again sometime and you can experience how peaceful the place is usually

highly recommended indeed!

Sandra D.

Unpowered grass tent, caravan or trailer tent site

Liked If you’re looking for simple camping - this is a perfect place
Such a lovely camp site on a working farm with enough facilities to accommodate all
The owners interaction suggested it was normal to go above and beyond to make visitors welcome
We watched him spend more than an hour trying to help someone with a car problem and he made time to have a chat with most campers at some stage throughout their stay
The owners’ care and passion for all they do is obvious ❤️

Disliked Having to leave ☹️

Unpowered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Quiet relaxed site with loads of room for the kids to play, friendly owners and lovely location

Disliked There are not enough toilet and showere facilities for the amount of guests. It was a constant queue!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I’m afraid the nature of going anywhere on a bank holiday will always mean queuing for the facilities- had you stayed an extra night you’d have been sharing the campsite with only 4 other tents.
Very glad you liked the site, thank you

Great campsite if you're looking for the basics, just to my taste

James S.

Unpowered grass tent, caravan or trailer tent site

Liked Large campsite on open fields. We had a family stay for 5 days to explore York and surroundings, and it was an excellent stay. You're on a farm and the whole family are engaged, which adds to the experience. Toilets and dishwashing good, shower drainage iffy but perfectly hygienic within 'basic' categorisation. And having a shower with the sun coming over the door in the morning was great! Loads of space for kids to run around, and the owner was there to keep noise down at night with (sadly) the inevitable rowdies. (Stay was over bank holiday so very busy for 3 days in the middle, but site and facilities coped well) Really good stay and would go back.

Disliked OK, these relate to me, and they're not criticisms of the site, rather observations! We camped beside the big oak, but chose the west side and should have been on the east to enjoy sunshine with morning brew. This would have also moved us down from the morning ducks :-) Wind was also interesting, tended to pick up at dusk and then drop back, as an open site quite a few people had windbreaks. We just layered up and sat closer to the fire pit!

Local attractions

Soaking in some of Yorkshire’s history should be no hard feat around here. Start with the rural side of Yorkshire at Murton Park (10 minutes’ drive), which is a farming museum with 14 acres of playgrounds, animals and historic areas all about Yorkshire farms in the present and past. Castle Howard (20 minutes) is a similar spot with a historic house and estate, playground and walks where the fashionable Howard family have strolled for 300 years or so. Keep up your history-themed tour with a visit to the National Railway Museum York (half an hour) or welcome a bit of wildlife art into your itinerary with a look around the Robert Fuller Gallery Ltd (20 minutes) - and see what inspiration strikes for when you’re relaxing around the green spaces at Beech Farm. Any folk who have come prepared with all their hiking gear and who are itching to get going will get in a good, long hike around the Yorkshire Wolds Way (around 20 minutes), a Wolds trail totalling 79 miles. Failing that, the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (25 minutes) has a gorgeous set of trails.
