  • 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.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: What a lovely clean, peaceful site. The managing staff are extremely friendly and very helpful, the toilet blocks are the best we've seen, and the little bar a gem. We liked it that much we booked an extra night but then ....... families arrived in the log cabins. I booked on the understanding that it was an adults only site, so pitch up are very misleading. If we'd have known families are allowed we wouldn't have booked it. We had children shouting and screaming and playing football for well over two hours opposite our caravan.we like to go away for peace and quiet. If it wasn't as late as it was we'd have packed up and gone home. Everything was perfect till then.

Disliked: It's not an adults only campsite as advertised on pitchup.com. it's very misleading.

Tony B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: The site was well advertised on Pitchup.com and so we chose this site based on specific requirements. This was our first time ever with our new caravan so were very nervous. Upon arrival at the site, the park rangers were extremely helpful. and assisted us with locating the caravan and made us feel very relaxed. The site itself was very well laid out, it wasn't overcrowded. The showers & toilets were exceptionally clean. The owner was himself running the bar on Sat evening and was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be visiting this site again and have recommended to friends

Disliked: Nothing, it was an excellent site

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks Tony for taking the time to leave such a great review and for your kind recommendations. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay with us and 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.
