  • Small family-run caravan site at a North Yorkshire golf course
  • York city centre 15 minutes' drive; designer shopping outlet 10 mins
  • Restaurant, woodland walks and several golf options on site
Woodland walks on one side, a golf course on the other, and a cosy restaurant serving up tasty meals 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 on offer 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 – in fact the caravan site is 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. Meanwhile, non-golfers have direct access to Forestry Commission woodland walks, or may prefer to get out for a day of retail therapy at the Designer Outlet York, 10 minutes’ drive away. Whichever one of these you fancy, you can get set up for the day at The Roost restaurant on site, which is open for breakfasts, lunches, drinks and sweet treats throughout the day (closed Monday and Tuesday, and not open evenings). It’s a popular place so booking a table is recommended if possible. Wheldrake has a pub and a small shop for your other sustenance needs. Pitches have access to an eco-friendly modern toilet and shower block; please note that only eco-friendly biodegradable toilet fluid can be used on site.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Great location, clean modern facilities site owners were friendly and helpful. On site “clubhouse” serves great food . With the current weather conditions the owners made sure we still had a hard standing pitch when most of the site was inaccessible. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quiet site in a good location for York and North Yorkshire

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: This is a super little site. Owners very friendly and super helpful (Especially when we got our campervan stuck in the mud!). Peaceful and relaxed environment with lovely woods around. Showers/Toilets very modern and lovely hot water (With great pressure) in the showers. Location was great for York. We drove 5mins up the rode to the York Designer Outlet (which is great in itself) and then caught the park and ride into town. Would recommend the Railway Museum (free entry).

Disliked: There are radiators in the shower blocks but these appeared not to be on (maybe as we stayed early season) so it was a little chilly but not too much of a problem. It's noted on the website but just to flag there there is no washing up area at this site and no hairdryers. Not necessarily a big problem but don't get caught out.
