Excellent site with top quality facilities

Excellent site with new top quality facilities. We used the taxi company offering reduced rates to campers to get into York, as it is guite a walk to the bus stop. Large and well serviced pitches although if you have a large motorhome (ours is >9m) then the service point is very big with easy access, but we had to go all around the site one way system to get out. Not really a problem just takes a little time. The staff are very helpful and friendly

Lots of road noise

Unfortunately road noise spoiled our stay. It goes night and day waking us up at 5 am. Consequently we will not be returning - Sorry!

Lovely site.C&M Club sort the drains!

Great site! We stopped for 2 weeks 3rd visit this year. GREAT HELPFUL WARDENS. The C&M need to sort the drains, this site has been refurbished but they obviously didn’t update the drainage system, the sewage can be smelt in the toilet blocks. The warden spent time trying to unblock them. We have visited this site on numerous occasions and the problem persists. Lots to do locally in and around York.

Excellent site

Beechwood Grange took us in when our original site (Rowntree) was closed due to flooding. The staff were extremely helpful despite being really busy with loads of evacuees from the floods in York. The shower block was the best we've come across.Buses into York were not very frequent but there are more when the spring service starts in March.

Very Good Site, Excellent Staff

This was our first time at Beechwood Grange, we stayed for 4 nights Jan to Feb 2020. Easy to get to (although adjacent main roads do create some traffic noise on site) and well located for exploring around York - some of the other sites in Yorkshire might be better if you want to spend much time in the Dales or the North York Moors. The site is well laid out with good sized pitches, there is an excellent new toilet block and a good play area. The large dog field is well enclosed and dogs can be let off lead there which compensates for not being able to walk dogs off-site down the access road (due to the proximity of the stud farm and livestock). The two wardens on duty during our stay were excellent - friendly, efficient, helpful and hard working - and the whole site is very well kept. We would definitely recommend for exploring in this area.

Happy New Year 2020

We have stayed at Beechwood many times over the years and are very impressed with the new shower/toilet block. The site had a power cut on New Years eve but this did not spoil our evening as wardens/club had already provided food and refreshments before the power went off and temporary lighting was available for the reception area, it was well attended by members. We have booked again for next New Year so this must be a good recommendation.

Excellent But---

Another excellent stay over the Christmas period, everything up to scratch as usual but-- I have to say the power cut on New Years Eve (5 1/2 hours) was to say the least a bit inconvenient, we all thought this was down to a problem elsewhere but after reading some of the other reviews this seems to be an on-going problem, come on CMC in this day and age and after all the upgrades on the site it's no good having a state of the art toilet block that you can't use when it goes dark. Still it has to be said the wardens do a great job, and we still had a great time, and a New Years Eve we won't forget for some time.

Almost everything that can be said about this site has been...in previous reviews....I have , however, marked one point off excellent for two reasons..1) The traffic calming humps are very severe and can cause damage to caravans and more importantly they don't work.... either on this site or any other on the network..a waste of money. 2) Disappointed that no service pitches were installed when the site was redeveloped earlier this year...this meant I had to fetch water and empty grey waste!! obviously the installation of a dog wash was more important !! and they go free !!

Great alternative

Whilst Rowntree Park has great advantages for walking into York, don’t be put off from using Beechwood, close to lots of shops, and easy access to the park and ride with spaces for Motorhomes. The site is well maintained with spacious pitches and the facilities are of the latest style within the club and superb. Love the way the wardens use a trolley to pull round the site for emptying bins and general maintenance, so no noises tractors where not necessary. The wardens do a great job, but unfortunately the site suffers from ‘boy racers’ like so many others, we were barged off the road by a 70+ year old racing with his van to get to a pitch. When are the club going to get tough with these idiots! Other than that, we had a great weekend but with temperatures around -3c and a full site, the site electric supply seemed to suffer with our fridge struggling to run on electric and needing to switch over to gas. A Google search suggested low voltage supply could cause this, fridge is now working fine again on a different site.

Excellent site.

We found the wardens at this site very cheerful and extremely helpful and hard working. Unfortunately the electricity went off on a third of the site ( late evening) the wardens identified and sorted the problem so the electricity was reinstated quite quickly. The washrooms are new and spacious and clean. York is a great place to visit the park and ride is at Monks Cross ( not far away). Follow the directions in the book as you can easily miss the sign for the site.
