  • 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

This adults-only site gets the nod for spotless grounds, staff who'll bend over backwards, and top-notch facilities, especially the showers. Campers love the calm vibes, roomy pitches, and the pub and pizza van. Most folks had no complaints, though a bit of road/train rumble and patchy Wi-Fi cropped up. It's a quality spot, and many come back time and again.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked We were happy with the electric hook-up and water point — easy to pull the caravan in and connect. The showers, toilets, and other facilities were all lovely and very clean.

Disliked We were told to park up in a certain way, which made it really difficult to put the awning up. The ground is concrete/stone with no grass, so the pegs just bent or wouldn’t go in at all, even with a hammer. It took us about 3 hours on and off in very hot weather. We weren’t the only ones struggling.

My advice to the site / future guests: Please make it clear on the website that these pitches are hard-standing. Bring a drill/rock pegs if you’re putting an awning up, and warn people they’ll be pitching on stone/concrete, not grass.

Recommend to friends Visit again

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

When making a booking the pitch is described as an electric hardstanding touring pitch.

We hope you had an enjoyable stay whilst with us, and hope we can welcome you back.

5th time visit and excellent as always.

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.
