About Beech Farm
Tucked into peaceful North Yorkshire countryside, Beech Farm offers a proper escape for campers seeking somewhere remote yet well-connected. With around 26–50 pitches spread across grass and hardstanding, it's a solid base for walkers and wildlife watchers, set amid spectacular scenery and farmland that feels genuinely wild. The site welcomes tents, tourers and motorhomes, plus dogs year-round, and facilities include showers, a communal freezer, chemical disposal and renewable energy.
York's historic attractions lie within reach, while the surrounding area delivers everything from cycling and climbing to canoeing and horse riding. Pitches start around £25 a night. Some visitors note the site can feel fairly basic in places, but for those after a no-frills, back-to-nature stay with easy access to both countryside and city, Beech Farm hits the mark.

What visitors say
Lovely camping site. Flat grounds with shower and toilet facilities. Will definitely return

Lovely flat field, plus showers and toilets. Metered electric all good. Host very friendly. It's a working farm, so don't expect it to be totally quiet also close to road noise, though not an over busy road. Only the chemical waste left something to be desired as you had to go up to plastic steps and empty in to a large plastic container. The smell was not pleasant and the risk of splash back or missing all together were increased. For us with reduced mobility it was a two person job! However toilets are provided so you don't need to use this system. This is our second visit here in a number of years. Would we return, probably not, as we have done quite a thorough exploration of the area.

Great site, plenty of room, portacabin toilets and showers perfectly clean and adequate. No pubs in walking distance but a small Tesco in the nearest village (Strensall) that sells Leffe 👌 The Ship Inn does nice food at Strensall too.
