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.

Clare M. Apr 2024

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: A wonderful, peaceful site with huge pitches hard standing pitches and some lovely landscaping including a very pretty lake with an island in the centre ( from which we saw a huge heron gracefully take flight on our first evening). We were greeted by friendly staff to show us our pitch and brief us about the facilities. The toilet and shower block are fantastic! Spotlessly clean and toasty warm. Loved the eco friendly vibe, the nature trail and the sound of the curlew.

Disliked: Not a dislike as such, but useful for campers to know the toilets are closed between 10:30 and 12 daily for cleaning. Also the bar has limited opening hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. You need transport for this site as shops and pubs are not really within walking distance.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Clare, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, and we hope you enjoyed your stay with us. Please note the toilets are closed for cleaning but we do have a family bathroom, which can be used whilst the facilities are been cleaned. We hope we can welcome you back to Flaxton Meadows very soon.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The site is beautiful, well laid out and standard of facilities second to none. Onsite bar is excellent. The site is well run by a lovely couple who were very welcoming, helpful and hard working.

Disliked: The hard standing pitches can be very difficult to knock awning pegs into - take a good hammer and good quality pegs and plenty of patience

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.
