Lovely Family Site

Visited this site several times and thoroughly enjoyed it. The wardens are the best we have come across, very friendly, approachable and very hard working not the more common Inspector Blakey jobs worth types. Busy site with many kids around the play area so 5mph is a must as many members don't comply. Bit of background noise from the A64 but not intrusive. The toilet block could do with more showers and needs a wee freshening up but is more than adequate and clean. We will use Beechwood Grange again and would recommend it for visiting York as the Park and Ride is very convenient and there is a large retail park minutes away.

Week beginning 3 August 2015

Found this to be a very pretty site and the wardens were the nicest we have encountered at any CC site! Lovely approach to the site through the adjacent stud farm - lots of lovely horses and foals. If you like barbecueing, make sure not to park next to the stables as BBQs are not allowed here, close to the stables. Park and Ride for York very convenient and there are adjacent shops, including a supermarket. Only slight problem was that the laundry has only 1 washing machine but the cycle is the usual 29 minutes so didn't have to wait long. Would definitely recommend.

Facilities (Toilet Block)

The toilet block needs to be upgrade and revamped. the entrance to dishwashing is same entrance as Female facilities and can be a bit off putting. Also I think the club need to look at all site regarding pitches for awnings, as I have an awning I try to book a awning pitch but some times they are not available. When you get to site you find that awning pitches are take with caravaners who do not have awnings so people like me can miss out.

perfect site

We love this site. It's a great family park, doggy friendly. Perfect location for so many attractions. We have been here twice in 3 weeks and most definately be back possibly before the end of this season. The showers are dated but clean. Laundry has good fast machines. The site itself is beautifully kept by the friendly helpful staff. Nice playpark for the kids with a big sports field. The staff had a fun day for the kids which was great and they are hoping to make it a regular thing. Fab doggy field for your furry friends to run about. Huge retail parks 2 minutes drive away for everything you could possibly need and excellent park and ride facilities to take you into the city centre. All in all a fab site that we will use for many years to come.

Beware the SatNav!

SatNav will take you to the now defunct entrance half way down a road. Actual entrance is found on the roundabout with traffic lights! Maybe someone would think of putting a notice up on the road to say where the current entrance is moved to the roundabout???? Simple thing to do, shame nobody has thought of doing it.

Apart from that niggle it is easy to access and is a lovely situation next to a stud farm................ Play area safe and away from caravans near the horse paddocks. ................Busy place as many, as we were, are in transit up, or down, the countryside.............. Staff are helpful, polite and genuinely interested to sort out any problems. Site is clean and well managed. Toilet block is what you would expect from an older CC site, but well maintained considering the usage.........massive outlet centre with shops of food and clothing a couple of miles down the road ALDI for food, BIG Range is good for camping stuff of all sorts including, cutlery, bedding, steps and gas BBQ's!!

I expect that the exposed bits of the site are a bit bleak in winter with the wind blowing across the fields but mainly the gentle hum of traffic is the most downside.

Big site, bit cramped and outdated but would return.

This site is bound to be popular with its location being so close to York but it does feel a bit cramped. There was very few pitches to choose from when we arrived and we ended up shuffling the van into a spot behind other vans. The bathroom facilities are a little dated as previously mentioned in other reviews but were spotlessly clean. Not quite what were used to with CC sites. Having said that, we would certainly use the site again. The supermarkets/ retail area is about 1.5 miles away and also has a park and ride to the centre of York. The site is very level and so are the pitches, mostly hard-standing with some grass. The childrens play area is excellent and has a small sports field behind it. As always, the wardens are very helpful and friendly. There were quite a few comments about poor wifi in the visitor book, but we never used it so cant comment further. Although this site has some minor niggles, the positives far outweigh the negatives and we would certainly return.

Nice site but toilet block needs updating

Stayed at this site recently for 9 nights. The following are what we saw as the pros and cons of the site: Pros: - Friendly and very helpful wardens. - Site well maintained. - Good level pitches. - Close to major amenities such as superstores, park & ride, etc. Cons: - Toilet block need updating. - Only one washer and dryer. Not acceptable for a site of this size. Had to get up at 6:30am to be sure you got your washing done!! - Need to take the car if you want to go anywhere. Overall Assessment: Would definitely go back but the Caravan Club really need to give consideration to updating and modernising the toilet block and increase the size of the laundry room to install more washers and dryers.

Gem of a site

My husband and I recently spent a night here without the kids to test our new van and awning. What a treat - beautifully maintained site with friendly wardens and spotlessly clean facilities. We enjoyed it so much went back the following weekend with the kids, who loved the play area and playing field. Will be going back!!
