Hardstanding pitch with water and electric

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.

What customers say

Visitors praise Flaxton Meadows for its immaculately clean facilities, spacious pitches, and exceptionally friendly staff. The on-site bar and popular pizza van are highlighted as great additions. The site is described as peaceful, well-maintained, and ideal for visiting York. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few mention difficulty pegging awnings into hardstanding pitches and occasional noise from nearby roads or trains.

Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews. Last updated 14/07/2026

The tent in the morning after the storm—still standing, and we had a great time despite it.

Bowie waking up in the morning—just ready to go.

Our tent under the stars—so peaceful at night.

Mitchell's Field electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Toilet and shower facilities. Very clean. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Disliked The pitches are not set clear enough and seemed a bit confusing. Someone set up tent very close to us and spoiled our stay. Definite marked pitches would help.

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.
