  • Spacious adults-only Yorkshire site with easy access from the A64
  • A 20-minute drive from central York and 45 minutes from the coast
  • Eco-friendly site with a nature trail and nest box webcams
Gorgeous North Yorkshire countryside all around, handy access to the A64 and York a mere 20 minutes’ drive down the road… there’s no denying Flaxton Meadows is in a very fine setting indeed. And it has a good mix of rural views too – this is a site that has farmland on one side and the wildlife-packed Strensall Common heathland on the other. And that means plenty of options for cyclists and walkers, whether you’re into strolling on local paths or tackling longer outings on the likes of the Ebor Way or Yorkshire Wolds Way. Don’t know where to start? The team on site are on hand to offer advice. As well as day trips to York, they also frequently recommend outings to Castle Howard and Scarborough. Being rather proud of their area, the owners here have put in a lot of effort to make their place eco friendly, kitting it out with renewable energy sources, establishing wildlife areas and using sustainable building materials where possible. A nature trail and educational boards help guests to get to know the area and nest-box webcams give everyone the chance to get a closer look at what’s rustling in the trees.

Mitchell's Field electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Easy to find and received a warm welcome when we arrived. The site is well laid out, nice and flat with separate areas for motorhomes, caravans and tents. The ablutions were immaculate at all times and plenty of hot water for showers was available. Although we didn't partake, the site offers a bar and hot food with a covered area for wi-fi. The fact that there is a no children rule is fantastic.

Disliked Nothing to dislike although I do wish that the younger generation would appreciate that their constant loud chatter and giggling throughout the night despite there being a 10pm "no noise" rule isn't wanted by the whole of the camping area. It is also not advisable to speed through the site especially when there are people and their dogs staying there.

From the manager: Thank you Morton for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay with us, and enjoyed the facilities on site. We hope we can welcome you back again soon.

Local attractions

Starting your explores of the local area is as simple as wandering next door to Strensall Common, managed by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and with plenty of paths to wander along (some of them accessible to pushchairs and wheelchairs). York (20 minutes) is a must, of course – for history at the Jorvik Viking Centre, walks along the old walls and visits to the National Railway Museum. For more on the heritage front, next stops should certainly be Castle Howard (15 minutes), Nunnington Hall (25 minutes) and Rievaulx Abbey (35 minutes). There's a Go Ape adventure park at Dalby Forest (35 minutes) for an active day out. And there’s always the prospect of a trip to the coast at Filey (45 minutes) or Scarborough (50 minutes)… Can’t make your mind up? The team here has assembled a collection of podcasts to give you a flavour of some of the options and help you make your decisions.
