Beechwood site is exactly what you would expect from the caravan club, clean and tidy and to a good standard, and that is exactly what you get.
I must agree with some of the other caravaners and that the toilet/shower block could do with an updating but other than that it was spot on. This is the first time I've left a club review and that was because I think the wardens must be amongst the best the club have. So friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Sadly we arrived on the back of a tow truck and the help received was second to none. Thank you Beechwood.
Could be excellent
Just back from a trip here. The site is well maintained and has very friendly wardens. The site is perfect for the local park and ride and local restaurants at monks cross. The only thing which slightly marks down this site is the toilet block. It's dated and whilst the wardens do there bit to clean them, then often stayed feeling unclean due to the age of them. Very peaceful site, well worth a try
Only 1 Night
Easily found once I ignored the directions my Sat Nav was giving me. Met at reception by a very friendly and helpful warden. It was our first visit to this site but it won't be our last as there are so many things to do within easy reach. It was a bit spoiled by the weather which made the dog walk/play area very muddy but the facility was very good. We enjoyed our stay very much.
poor drainage
only problem was the poor drainage was not able to use my awning for the week I was there .
Great location
Excellent location close to retail park & park & ride to York. Easily accessible for Scarborough, Whitby, Leeds & Harrogate. We were there from Easter weekend for a week. Only criticism would be showers & toilet area in the woman's later in the day & early morning quite messy & not the cleanest. Would recommend the site for its location.
Good site in a good location
A clean site with good facilities. It's located about a mile away from an out of town shopping complex, which has a park-and-ride to take you into the centre of York. I'd recommend using the park-and-ride as parking in York is expensive. Buses run every ten minutes or so.
Site is nice and quiet with some nice views over the fields.
Only small criticism I have is there is only 1 toilet block with 6 showers (in the mens). So when site is busy expect a possible shower queue.

Handy Location
We have used this site several times now. Facilties are good and the staff always very curtious and helpful. Perfect for visiting York and the Motorhome Show at Harrogate which we have for the past two years. York park & ride takes all the hassle out of trying to find a parking space. We shall continue to use this site in the future.
March Weekend
Nice pleasant friendly site, grounds well maintained and so were the pitches. Staff were helpful and friendly. Very handy for visiting York and all the shopping centres and useful being only 10 minutes drive from a Caravan sales and accessories shop. One thing we did note is that the toilets appear to be 'tired' they could do with a bit of a refurb, found it disappointing that there were no grab handles of any sort in any of the showers in the main toilet facility only the one for lesser disabilities which is in a separate bit and the only time this was accessible was over the friday and saturday of the break we had and the hand drier never seemed to be warm air. All in all though a good site and we will be visiting again.
Handy for our first outing this season...
This was our first visit to Beechwood Grange, handy for our first outing this season as it's fairly close to home. Overall, this was a great site for us; our two dogs loved the dog exercise area, the facilities were clean, wardens friendly, and the location is excellent for site seeing in and around York, North Yorkshire Moors and even Yorkshire coast.
The only reasons we've not given 10/10 are that you probably do need a car to get around, (although the site is down a fairly long drive, the entrance to the drive is on a busy junction close to the A64 which is notorious for congestion, and probably not best for pedestrians), the toilet block is a little 'tired' and could do with refreshing, and there are no super pitches, which would always be our preference if there was a choice. We have no small children so can't comment on child friendliness.
Perfect for York
We have stayed at this site a few times and always find it quiet and relaxing. We had a friendly welcome from reception. Plenty of pitches to choose from at this time of year also invited to stay till 4 pm if wanted. Facilities up to the usual clean standard if anything the showers are on the small size a bit of a squash! Plenty of shopping centres, John Lewis, large M & S and large Next if not wanting York but park and ride nearby if wanting to travel into York. Thompson award winning fish and chips restaurant ( take away as well) 5 mins drive away ...always a must for us when in York.
