  • Friendly site eight miles from York
  • Surrounded by a network of public footpaths
  • Well-equipped play area with zipwire and giant draughts
'All singing, all dancing' is what the friendly folk at York Meadows Caravan Park eight miles from the grand old centre of York say about their site, and after a quick perusal of the site facilities you'll likely fully agree. The location here is pretty splendid too, tucked down a private lane near the village of Sheriff Hutton, close to York but also the Yorkshire coast, and surrounded by a network of public footpaths including the Ebor Way, Wold Way and Centenary Way. (If you fancy wandering further, ask the owners for their suggestions, as they're happy hikers of these parts.) Don't want to walk too far? Wander into the friendly village instead for the village shop and to investigate the two pubs. However. The York Meadows folk also point out that guests might not want to leave the park at all… The play area is just grand, with swings, zipwire, a climbing frame and a slide, as well as outdoor table tennis, giant draughts, and snake and ladders; meanwhile, the reception shop sells all you might have forgotten such as bread and milk as well as burgers and bangers: yes, barbecues are allowed here… Don't fancy cooking? Ring one of the local takeaways and get your dinner delivered right to the site, or try a couple of the York Meadows's team's recommendations like the Highwayman Inn in Sheriff Hutton, selling homemade food using fresh local produce, or Thompsons Fish Restaurant and takeaway on Malton Road: anywhere that's won awards for its fish and chips might sound pretty grand to you too.

All-weather electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: This site is a great base for travelling around north yorks or enjoying a very quiet get away, outside the school holidays. We chose the travel & visited Scarborough which I would describe as a small Blackpool with the usual arcades & Knick knack shops that we did stroll around but our main reason for visiting was to go up Oliver’s Mount race track to enjoy the views & a breakfast at Oliver Mounts cafe, which was lovely & worth the experience. We also went to Helmsley a Yorkshire town which is worth a little stroll around with a few pubs & cafes, but not many shops to browse. We then visited Malton, a market town reknown as the foodie town of Yorkshire & it didn’t disappoint we ate at cafe Forty Six & it was immaculate & the food was beautiful & well priced & set in the heart of the quaint market square. I must add to this review, that if any of you want an amazing al a carte meal, without the snobbery & very affordable at a very friendly village pub, then don’t pass by the Baytree inn in a lovely village called Stillington, about 4.4 miles from York Meadows site. If you’re planning to eat in then make sure you bring your own provisions as not much around big shop wise without a good drive out. You can get pizza delivered if you like though.

Disliked: It’s an observation really for pitch up. We were sent our receipt with a pic of the pitch which sold it as a gravel & grass , however the pitches reserved for pitch up are just gravel pitches which was not a problem for us but could be for others.

Local attractions

Sheriff Hutton is a pretty place to start when considering the countryside around here. And then one must go Yorkwards, to the splendid city with York Minster, cobbled streets, York Dungeon, York Railway Museum, the Jorvik Viking Centre… Spend some time too among the market, shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs of the Shambles, the teeny streets that are among the most snapped shots of York. Plenty of indoor options are around if the weather decides to be a tad inconsiderate: you could dash to an indoor play centre nearby or take the tour at York's Chocolate Story (yes, tastings are included…) Bigger parks like Flamingo Land and Lightwater Valley are in the area too. Golf? Greens surrounding the park include Sandburn Hall (with other activities too), York Golf Club, Fulford Golf Club, Easingwold Golf Club and Ampleforth Golf Club. Fishing? Also popular in these parts: cast off locally at Pottery Pond, Birkdale Farm, and Brickyard Farm Lakes. And of course as it's Yorkshire, there are also piles of abbeys, castles, stately homes, historic houses and museums to visit – without even mentioning the moors or the Yorkshire coast…
