  • 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

Adults-only site praised for friendly staff, spotless modern facilities, & spacious pitches. Enjoy peace, the on-site bar & pizza van. Great for exploring York. Note occasional train/military noise & spotty Wi-Fi away from the bar.

Mitchell's Field powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked A lovely site. Beautiful camping area with a decent amount of space between pitches. Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Shower block is immaculate - as good as you'll get on a campsite, really. Bar was really good and beer at a reasonable price. Pizza van was busy and we got a very decent pizza. Ideal for walking to Flaxton and Strensall - the latter had two excellent village pubs worth a visit.

Disliked Check in at 2pm is later than most and really shortens the first day.

There are a lot of rules, intended to keep the place a quiet, adult-only site. On our second night, a very loud group broke about half of them and were playing loud music and singing into early hours. It didn't effect us much at our pitch, but it certainly affected others closer to them. It isn't the park's fault if some campers break a bunch of rules and create a large disturbance. It is, however, the park's fault for not enforcing their rules, which they literally give to you on a sheet at check-in...

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely location, great staff, on-site bar, lovely local Flaxton beers (open until 10pm - perfect). The week we were there the weather was exceptional (heat wave over a bank holiday weekend). Would definitely stay again.

Disliked No onsite shop. Not really a problem. A small Morrisons and Tesco in the local town of Strensall (2.5 miles away)

Recommend to friends Visit again

A peaceful haven. Just what was needed to recharge.

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.
