Good site for York and around

York Beechwood is a lovely campsite with great facilities on site for all. Children are well catered for with a great play park and a field for ball games (bonus for 2 teenage boys). There's even a pétanque area so worth packing your boules to play here. There is a dog walking field/ area which I think would have been vital as you are unable to walk your dog down the approach road due to the request of the adjoining stables (our dog stayed at home as we were planning on heading into York). I note this has been an issue for some, especially those in motorhomes and I think if we'd had our dog with us it would have been tricky even though we're in a small camper van. The pitches are large, spacious, flat and I think all hardstanding, although there is a field for tents too. The toilet block was standard CAMC, large showers, hot water, toilets and enclosed wash basins and plenty of them. Definitely kept clean. Access to York is relatively easy via the park and ride with it's frequent buses and worked really well for us, but it's quite a walk so we drove here. Apparently there is a more local bus, but when we looked it wasn't particularly frequent, so might be worth enquiring. If you had bikes you could consider the fairly flat cycle into the city, but the cycle lanes are on the edge of the carriageway rather than entirely separated. We have also stayed at York Rowntree Park which also has great facilities. I think if you had a dog and/or motorhome this may be a better site, but it is not as peaceful, nor as spacious.
