  • 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.

This adult-only site earns praise for spotless facilities, roomy pitches, and welcoming staff. Guests rave about the bar and pizza van. Minor gripes include awning peg issues on hardstanding, occasional noise, and spotty WiFi. Management is actively working on improvements.

Mitchell's Field powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Toilet and shower facilities. Very clean. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Disliked The pitches are not set clear enough and seemed a bit confusing. Someone set up tent very close to us and spoiled our stay. Definite marked pitches would help.

 STUART A. 4 reviews

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked absolutely everything , immaculately clean facilities , massive pitches , fantastic friendly staff , excellent bar with pizza caravan and covered outdoor seating .

Disliked only glitch was trying to put awning up on hard standing pitch , i tried twice over 2 days but couldn't get a tent peg in , even went to go outdoors to buy hard ground ones but no use, other people managed on there pitches but said it was really hard work . wont stop me coming back .

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.
