 Had a very enjoyable 5 night stay. Easy access to the site although could be easy to miss exit but easy enough to rectify by going to next roundabout and coming back.
Wardens very welcoming we had to delay start of our holiday as my son had been in hospital rang them up and very they were good to roll our booking over to the following day. On arrival explained about some pitches could become waterlogged and these were marked with red markers although it had been dry so no worries for us and as we weren't using an awning decided to use one of the red marked pitches near to the play area so we could keep an eye on our little people. Excellent play area and large play field so kids could play football.
Although you aren't allowed to take dogs out for a walk out of the site there looked to be a large field for dogs to be exercised.
Good sized pitches and well spaced between pitches.
Toilet block up to the normal Caravan Club standard, always clean and warm.
Site is well located for access to York via Monks Cross Park and Ride only £2. 60 return for adults and kids go free. In Monks Cross retail park there was an Asda and a Sainsbury's as well as other retail outlets.
On the way to Park and Ride there is a Toby Carvery offering good value meal and along A64 the excellent Thompson's Fish and Chip restaurant.
Whilst site is close to a busy road this did not cause us any issue but if you are sensitive to road noise this maybe an issue for you.
Lots to do in York enjoyed the Railway museum and mooching around the Shambles as well as watching the various street entertainers. Walk along castle walls very enjoyable and free.
I would recommend this site and will look to stay again in the not too distant future!

When we booked this site in December 2012, for a week in April 2013 we were torn between Rowntree Park and Beechwood Grange but as Rowntree Park was being evacuated again due to flooding we took the safe option and went for Beechwood. With 3 children I certainly made the right choice.
This is a very nice, well laid out site with excellent large hard standing pitches all in very good condition. The site has trees and hedges. The toilet block is centrally located for easy reach anywhere in the park. The children enjoyed the very good playpark and large playing field and visiting the pregnant horses at the nearby stud, where the lady there was happy to tell them about them.
We were not troubled by and road noise, one family next to us moved pitch because it was under a rookery and had a dropping problem, which did not affect us. We used the park and ride for York city Centre at nearby Monks Cross most days, parking was free and the return was £2. 60 with all our children free. The buses were every 10 minutes, but we never had to wait. We also used the large Sainsburys and ASDA store at Monks Cross and the kids loved the Waterworld Swimming Centre.
The site was also ideally located as we visited Castle Howard and Flamingoland. I would recommend a visit to Thompson Fish and Chip Restaurant about 2 miles out on the A64. As for York there is so much to do we could not see everything in a week, but the best thing for me was the walk around the old walls.
We would certainly go back to Beechwood Grange and highly recommend it.

Whilst there are no narrow or winding single track roads to negotiate, there is no getting away from the fact that access to the site could be a little bit tricky for the first time visitor.
The site is very close to the A64, but is accessed off two traffic signalled roundabouts and involves a few lane changes.
The site is mostly hard standing and at the time of our visit, those pitches which are prone to getting waterlogged (marked with a red peg) were not in use.
The site has a quite open aspect to it and is flat with very few trees. There is an excellent play area for the kids and a large field for walking dogs.
The site is handy for visiting the city of York, with the Monks Cross pay and display being only a mile or so up the road. At only £2. 50 per person return with free parking it offers great value for money.
There are numerous supermarkets within a few miles as there are out of town shopping opportunities.

We spent a very enjoyable long weekend at Beechwood Grange as it was convenient for a weekend away and a family get together. In a good location close to the York park and ride, and with easy access to all of the major routes out of York this site is perfect for York, the North Yorkshire moors, and surrounding areas. Access to the site is good and easy to find, and just far enough away from the York ring-road to minimise traffic noise to a very low level. Site administration is the usual keen and well-organised CC affair, and pitches are well-managed and consist of a mix of grass and hard-standing. Normal electric hook-ups on all pitches, with water and waste points close by the pitch. The washrooms are heated, modern, and in line with the usual high caravan club standards, and throughout our stay were spotlessly clean.
There are a couple of pubs within a short drive (or moderate walk) including a Toby carvery which was good value. The site shop is limited to a few basic items but there are a choice of supermarkets within a couple of miles.
The list of worthwhile places to visit is endless, but during the weekend we visited the Yorkshire air museum (a mixture of indoor and outdoor) which was very good, the beautiful and fascinating Castle Howard, a trip through the North York moors and 'Heartbeat country', fish and chips at the harbour in Whitby, the Dalby forest drive back to the site, and of course York, the minster, and the shambles. And after that, a much-needed great pint !

A lovely site perfectly situated to explore the City of York. Next to a stud farm the site is flat and well landscaped with everything you expect and need. We chose a grass pitch in the centre under some trees, plenty of room and close to the amenities. There is a dog walking area and a playground for the children. The Park and Ride in to York is a few minutes drive away, with designated parking for motor-homes, you can walk but there is no footpath along a busy main road so best to drive. The City of York, well what can you say with so much to see and do the day just flew past.

Good clean site, good reception area with very welcoming staff who explained everything and gave us choice of pitch explaining where play area was so we could avoid/or not according to our wishes. Well laid out site with very clean spacious toilet block. Plenty of water /refuse points well spaced out but always close at hand. Good sized dog walk with plenty of poo bins. Only downside not being able to walk dog off site as not allowed on drive way shared with stud farm.
Imagine will be lovely in summer with trees, shrubs and foliage in full bloom and more than adequate for a few days chillaxing

We were only able to book one night here as it is a very popular site but we wish we could have stayed longer. This is a very well maintained, spacious site with very pleasant and helpful wardens and we found it to be far better than the Caravan Club's other site in York, Rowntree Park [although I think that it is being upgraded soon]. It is very handy for the park and ride into York and there is an excellent shopping park about a mile and a half away.
The pitches are large, mostly hard standing and with plenty of green areas.
This was our first time out with a motorcaravan and we found the service point to be a little awkward - it was poorly positioned right next to one of the roads through the park and on a corner with cars having to be careful when trying to get past.
We were not disturbed at all by any noise. The water/service points were a short walk away from our pitch but not a problem. The one toilet block was very clean and seemed to be perfectly adequate even though the site was full.
We especially appreciated the excellent dog field where our two border collies had a brilliant time off-lead. The grass was kept short and it was very clean. Adjacent, but completely separate, was a very good children's playground and playing field.
This is a site which we would recommend and return to.

This site is pleasant though we wish we had read these reviews first, the traffic noise was very noticeable, not a very peaceful site. Most of the pitches are now hard standing (none of the grass pitches were open on our visit) and so big in places it feels like you are in a car park.
Just one toilet block located to one side of the site and a little bit of an odd lay out - for example the washing up is indoors at the bottom of the corridor between the two doors to lady’s toilets and showers.
We did find it quite easy to get in to the city centre from, plus convenient for touring.
There is a large ball field and separate children’s play area all within sight of the caravans so I think its safer for children. There is also a petanque piste – unfortunately near the play area and not fenced so children were using it to build mounds with! So you had to flatten them first – not to mention warning children not to pitch their play tents there when you are playing!
The other down sides for us were Wi-fi antennae covering the whole site (located at toilet block and at service points), which we would choose to be away from, and mowing of the small grass strips between pitches most days, not just when pitch vacated which was worrying as going close to caravans and cars with mower and stone chips could potentially cause damage or injury.
On balance we would not go back to this site again as too noisy and too much hard standing to us.
Nearly forgot there was a dog walk too.

If choosing this site for its convenient situation to get into York, be aware that it has all the noise of an urban site with none of the benefits of actually being in the city. We found it noisy due to the surrounding roads, and thanks to low-flying aircraft (sometimes very low!), but it's not so close to York that you can easily access the city on foot unless you relish a long walk to the bus stop - so it's the worst of both worlds in that respect.
None of that matters too much if you're only staying for a night or two, however, as the park-and-ride (a five minute drive away) works well, delivering you by bus into the heart of the city for a reasonable fee. However, the buses stop running by 8pm, so if you're after city nightlife you'll have to make other arrangements.
The site is a little odd in its lay-out, with the facilities block tucked away to one side, so campers on the other side of the site have a longer-than-average walk to get to the showers. Also, there are only two water/waste points (other than at the facilities block) which seems too sparse for a site of this size.
Overall, I would recommend either camping in the heart of the city or in the heart of the country - this site is neither one nor the other and suffers as a result.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this site. The pitches were a generous size and, although we were quite close to the road, the noise did not bother us at all. If you get fed up with the carvery up the road there is a very nice and cheap alternative called the Four Alls which served generous portions is on the road to Scarborough. We had a fabulous time and this site is on our list of places to revisit.
