  • 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.

john k.

Mitchell's Field powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Upon arrival and throughout the stay, I found the staff were very friendly and helpful. They have an onsite bar and pizza trailer that are open until 10pm with an outdoor seating area that was popular with guests. The trailer also did bacon/sausage butties in the morning. What we dont mind is that there were a few people sat up and talking until 11pm at night. They were quiet and respectful and I am ok with this as I like to stay up until around this time anyway. If you are expecting lights out and no noise past 10pm, then this might not be the site for you. As I said, I dont mind this, it certainly wasnt noisy and people did keep their voices low. We stayed on a grass pitch and found that there was plenty of room and we didnt feel overlooked by other guests. The toilets and showers were nice, clean and modern. The site itself is easy to get to (no narrow roads for the caravan/trailer) and the city of York is only about 20 minutes away.

Disliked Although I did enjoy the pizza and bacon butty, I did think it was a bit expensive (£4 for the butty and I think it was £13 for the pizza). I'm not marking the campsite down for this, as this was optional (we didnt need to have this). It says it has wifi but it doesnt reach as far as the grass pitch. Not the fault of the campsite but there was a noisy couple from Newcastle sat up until past 1am talking loudly. They were told to be quiet by another camper and voices were then raised. Thankfully nothing major came of it and it went quiet 5 mins later. Again, this isnt the campsites fault. I link this to the bar and adults drinking. 99%of people that drink alcohol are ok but there is always that 1%.

From the manager: Thank you John for taking the time to leave a review, and your comments have been noted. We are sorry that we did not meet with your expectations on this occasion, but hope you will stay with us again in the future.

Will definitely be visiting again

Liked Nice site in a good location with a bar. Friendly staff and clean facilities.

Disliked Cant be helped but noise from tent pitches looked to be groups, music/shouting. Hedged borders between would be better for privacy.

Kimbly M.

Mitchell's Field powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Really liked the freedom and space of the pitches. The site was very clean and had all the facilities we needed. The staff were friendly and helpful and the bar and pizzas were great. Great central location for all local attractions. The site also felt very safe.

Disliked Would have preferred self contained toilet and shower unit for privacy. I used the disabled / family one to overcome this.

The ground wasn’t completely flat so we did have puddles when it rained but it was nice to have a fully grass pitch.

From the manager: Thank you Kimbly for taking the time to leave a review, and we have noted your comments. We hope you enjoyed your stay with us, and hope we can welcome you back when the weather is a little better, and hopefully doesn't rain.

Would definitely come back, Level and ample size pitches. Clean & Tidy

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.
