Liked The pitches are pretty level and lots of space for awnings etc.
Toilet/Shower block was very clean and plentiful.
Strensall Common is 40 minutes walk away and open to the public.
Disliked The site had no character, just felt like an open field, with a shower block.
A small amount of cattle grid and road noise close by.
Basic site for the money compared to others, and lots of notices up asking you to book direct and use cash, we found the site on “pitch up” and wouldn’t have found it advertised otherwise.
Check that the clubhouse is open, because if you want to relax with a pint or two, you may have to visit the local village of Strensall, which is approximately 10 minutes Uber ride and 4 miles away.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and we note your comments, we are sorry that we did not meet with your expectations on this occasion. As its shoulder season the bar does have restricted opening hours, but is open on a Friday and Saturday.
Amazing site ! Lovely friendly staff & always spotlessly clean
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked We have been campers for many years, however we stayed at Flaxton Meadows for the first time last weekend with our new caravan. We have stayed on some lovely sites but this is one of our favourite pretty much the best site ever ! We absolutely loved everything. The site is perfect in every way. Calm, peaceful area with lots of areas to walk with our Spaniel. On arrival we were made to feel very welcome. Facilities are outstanding ! Always spotlessly clean all the time during our stay. Excellent quirky bar area that opened on an evening. Lovely peaceful atmosphere to relax and chat with friends or family. Outstanding pizzas enjoyed from the pizza van. Loved the fact they encouraged the use of CASH too !! This site is definitely a must to visit
I am sure we will return several times next year.

Liked Quiet site - beautiful location. The staff on site were helpful, knowledgeable and very welcoming. We enjoyed a pint or two in the bar and a nice walk around the locality.
It was nice to see that the menu at the pizza van had been extended and there was more variety which included jacket potatoes and burgers.
This is our 10th or 11th visit and it is just perfect to getaway and to recharge your batteries. Thanks again.
