  • Small family-run caravan site at a North Yorkshire golf course
  • York city centre 15 minutes' drive; designer shopping outlet 10 mins
  • Bar, woodland walks and several golf options on site
Woodland walks on one side, a golf course on the other and an on-site clubhouse serving up tasty snacks and drinks to get you through whatever activity you’ve chosen for that day – now doesn’t that sound just a little bit fabulous? This is the setup at Swallow Hall, a small family-run caravan site in the North Yorkshire countryside, a couple of miles from the village of Wheldrake and six miles from the centre of York. This place is something of a dream for golfing types – it's inside the grounds of Swallow Hall Golf Course, which has a pay-and-play 18-hole facility that doesn’t require any tee time booking. Guests also have the option of playing on the 9-hole Academy course (par 28), honing their skills at the short game area or extending the day with some time on the floodlit driving range. For activities that don't involve golfing, there's direct access to Forestry Commission woodland walks from the site, or you may prefer to get out for a day of retail therapy at the Designer Outlet York, 10 minutes’ drive away.

What customers say

This quiet, well-kept campground has roomy, level sites and great, modern restrooms. It's perfectly located for visiting York via park and ride, woodland walks, and features an on-site golf course. Guests loved the cleanliness, peaceful vibe, and friendly owners, often wanting to return. Minor drawbacks included no Wi-Fi, limited clubhouse dining, and infrequent local buses.

Liked Gorgeous tidy pitches, well maintained shower block and sink area. Lovely walk out the back of the site through woods. Close to York Park and Ride at the designer outlet. Great golf course and onsite pub. Quiet.

Disliked No shop or actual check in not very obvious where to pitch. But this is minor.

Liked The facilities were incredibly clean and well maintained, in a beautiful setting and communication was fantastic. There was a lovely walk through the woodland at the far end. It was 15 minutes from the centre of York. The kids loves the massive open spaces and waking to a symphony of bird song.

Local attractions

When you’re not playing golf on site (or perhaps while your other half is on the course), there are plenty of outings to be had in the surrounding area. If you’d like to soak up some more of the local scenery, you could settle in for some coarse fishing at Raker Lakes (five minutes’ drive), stroll around the various themed areas of Stillingfleet Lodge Gardens (15 minutes) or stretch your legs on a walk at Skipwith Common National Nature Reserve (20 minutes). City time is right on hand too, and in the wonderful place that is York (15 minutes), where you could easily spend several days exploring the minster, the Shambles, the National Railways Museum and the city walls, or taking boat trips and riverside walks. And that’s before you’ve splashed the cash at Designer Outlet York (10 minutes). For different days out, plan trips to the Yorkshire Air Museum and Allied Air Forces Memorial (15 minutes), Selby Abbey (20 minutes) or York Bird of Prey Centre (half an hour).
