  • 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.

We were put in the hedgehog section out the way because we didn’t need an electric pitch amd it felt like we were on our own campsite

 Deborah L. 2 reviews

Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site

Liked We were very happy with how clean & tidy the site was. Felt really relaxing. Pitches were very spacious. On site bar & pizza hut.
Made to feel very welcomed by the friendly staff. This was our 2nd visit, our 1st was xmas 2025. We would highly recommend this adult only site that also caters for tents in a large, spacious field. There is also log cabins on site that look very luxurious around a pond. Looking forward to spending Xmas 2026 here.

Disliked Only problem I had being disabled was the facility was flooded & very hard to get dressed in standing water as there didn't seem to be any drains to mop the water into.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you Deborah for taking the time to leave a great review, and your comments have been noted.

We hope you enjoyed your stay with us, and look forward to welcoming you back for your third visit.

Will be back .

 Scott M. 1 review

Mitchell's Field powered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked We stayed for 4 nights . We found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. The facilities were spotless. The price for the drink was cheaper than i was exspecting. I have two french bull dogs and it would have been nice to have been able to let them off their leads in the surounding fields but due to there being adders around that wasent possible. We would be be happy to stay there again great get away . Thank you to the staff . X

Disliked Not being able to let the dogs off their leads . But i yotally understand it was far thrir own safety

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you Scott for taking the time to leave a great review. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay with us, and understand our policy of dogs on tight leads at all times. The neighbouring fields also have sheep and lambs in them. We hope we can welcome you back again very 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.
