This is a lovely site with immaculate facilities and helpful, friendly staff. The cleanliness of the toilet block could not be bettered and there seemed to be great detail to maintaining the landscaped areas. There is a small shop at reception selling a few essentials.
The pitch was almost level for our motorhome, only needing a little levelling, and was very spacious. TV and 4G reception was good. There is an enclosed dog field which is a brilliant idea for allowing your dog to run off the lead.
Having said all this I don’t think we’ll return to the site due to the rule concerning walking dogs off the site. This is not allowed due to issues with livestock and so a vehicle is needed to get your dog off site. Anyone with a motorhome will know that this isn’t really feasible. I asked a member of staff about this and he suggested getting a taxi!! The approach road is wide enough, in my opinion, to allow a responsible owner to walk a dog on a short lead to the site entrance. This is a real pity as the site is perfect in every other way. There is a site next door which looks great and has no such restrictions so I think we’ll use that when we have our dog with us.
Tourist visit
We were disappointed with this place. The staff are not particularly friendly comparing this with other sites. The atmosphere on the site is unfriendly also. We had a complaint about our dog barking at 7.30 am which was short lived as he was anxious to go out for his walk. He isn’t a very barking dog and this was very upsetting and spoilt our stay. It is impossible to access the park and ride without crossing several very roundabouts. Overall although the site is immaculate and the dog walking field is great we won’t come back here again.

Lovely site well kept and friendly wardens
Only one drawback to this site, and that is only relevant to MH users. There is a good 15 minute walk to the nearest bus, which is now run by Castle Line, the nearest stop being at the Toby Carvery the other side of the big junction, and these only run every couple of hours, the last bus back being late afternoon. However, this is the bus which also goes to Castle Howard so that's a bonus. You can cycle into York from here too, though we couldn't on this trip. There are dedicated motorhome spaces at the nearby shopping centre too, but we prefer to leave the van at the campsite. The campsite has done a deal with a local taxi for a fixed rate (could be two couples) for a taxi, which if you don't have a free bus pass, is not a bad deal. Otherwise a very nice site and would visit again.
back again
must say every time i come back to this site it seams to get better is lovey grass hedges ect kept spot on , i have been on the road for 2 weeks this time been to 6 different sites thou out the uk but guess where i have ended up back at my 2nd home , sorry my jeep just cant pass the door , back here for the may day weekend and looking very busy , thanks again to all the staff who make it so much better ,
Lovely wardens!
We visited this site with our new puppy who we had only had for 2 weeks. We thought it would be good for her to see and hear children playing, see and hear other dogs and be outdoors to experience the sounds of nature. We absolutely loved it. The weather was beautiful for Easter. One thing that stood out for us was how lovely the wardens were. They were very helpful, always present and they keep the site immaculately clean. We will definitely visit this site again.
fantastic site
been to loads of sites around Yorkshire, but always come back to my 2nd home , fantastic site everything as it should be and the staff are very helpful , see you soon ally
Another good week at beachwood
We had another good week at beachwood after having knee surgery for the 4th time on same knee the wardens looked after us asking if needed help with awning we would definitely go again
Ideal
Have been here twice and booked for a third time in March. Came initially with my daughter and then with my husband - both times it has been excellent. Warm welcome. Clean facilities. Quiet and friendly campsite. Can highly recommend. I expect to have many more stays here, especially as my daughter is planning on going to a University in York - so its also a perfect base.
Lovely Stay
Recently stayed for 3 nights - lovely and clean site
Greeted by lovely wardens
Pitches lovely and spacious
Ideal location for exploring York and the Yorkshire
My only gripe, which is no reflection on the site or those that run it is…..
Why do people leave the facilities in such a disgusting condition (mainly the toilets) I just don’t get how people can walk out and leave such a mess!! I’m sure they wouldn’t do it in their own homes!! #cleanupafteryourself
Recommend the Gammon Yorkshire Pudding Wrap, from the Toby Carvery and Fish n Chips from Thompsons!
Lovely stay and we will be back 👍👍

Christmas & New Year stay
We spent Christmas & New Year 2021/2 at Beechwood York . The wardens Janet & Pete put up fantastic Christmas decorations and lights making the whole place inviting and a joy to come back to site on a evening.
As usual the site and facilities were one hundred percent .
We had a great Christmas & New Year a real pleasure to stay at this site , thank you Janet & Pete for your attention to detail and generous hospitality over the festive period.
