  • Family-friendly farm site by the A19, 15 minutes’ drive from York
  • Askham Bog Reserve 15 minutes’ drive; Castle Howard half an hour
  • A 10-minute walk from a historic pub; park and ride five minutes away
Looking to explore the gorgeous city of York, but fancy a rural location, perhaps with a little stargazing action at night? Then Meadow Field might be the place for you. On a farm just off the A19 (one of the main routes into York), this peaceful site sits about half a mile south of the village of Shipton by Beningbrough. That means a half-mile (or a 10-minute) walk to the local pub, a historic watering hole serving real ales, a range of gins and home-cooked meals (including popular Sunday lunches). In the opposite direction from Shipton, along the A19, is York (15 minutes' drive), with more dining options, pubs, shops and supermarkets. And the good news is that you won’t have to fret about finding a parking spot in the city or having the right app to pay for it: the York Park and Ride is just five minutes down the road – nice. Site facilities include a modern toilet block with a hot shower, plus a sheltered washing-up area and a tap for drinking water – plus oodles of space where the kids can play and burn a little energy. Or maybe you’d like to go for a family hike? A five-minute drive takes you to Yorkshire Wildlife Trust Moorlands Woodland Nature Reserve, with colourful rhododendrons and azaleas, wooden sculptures and guided night-time walks to spy on the resident bats. Meanwhile, ponies graze at the Askham Bog Nature Reserve (15 minutes), where you might also catch glimpses of kestrels and red kites.

What customers say

This friendly farm campground offers spacious, flat sites in a quiet rural setting, perfect for visiting York. Facilities are basic but clean and functional, with hot showers. Owners are consistently praised as welcoming and helpful. Easy public transport to York is a big plus. Some wish for better signage and more restrooms during peak times.

Liked Really friendly - offered me a cup of tea on arrival and also as I was packing up the following morning. The toilet block was small but perfectly formed with a decent hot shower.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Lots of open space, friendly site staff/owners, good location, clean and hot showers, relaxed feel.

Disliked Don't mind a basic site but £31 per night (with EHU) for a site with one loo and shower and very long grass is a bit steep. We knew the site was near the A19 but didn't realise how busy and noisy the road is, it will be better when the hedge planting gets better established as this might reduce the road noise a bit.

Local attractions

Besides the glorious Minster, with a massive tower with far-reaching views over the city, York (15 minutes’ drive) has several interesting museums exploring such diverse subjects as its Viking heritage (Jorvik Viking Centre), the history of the railways (National Railway Museum York) and archaeology (the kid-friendly DIG). You can also walk along the medieval city walls. Piglets Adventure Farm (20 minutes) has tractor trailer rides, climbing structures and an indoor soft-play area with sand and ball pits. And of course, there are seasonal encounters with baby animals, including cheeky alpacas, soft ducks and chatty goats, plus the Piglets Maternity Ward. Built in the 18th century in the southern fringes of the Howardian Hills National Landscape, Castle Howard (half an hour) is an elegant stately home. Highlights include the chapel, featuring stained glass by pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones, plus the manicured gardens and 1,000 acres of parkland dotted with lakes and follies.
