Liked The site has had a ‘glow up’ since we visited last year. The camping pitches have been extended and more organised pitching.

The outside bar area has had an upgrade

Facilities spotless as always and nice running showers

It’s one of the most peaceful sites that we’ve stayed on.

We were originally placed smack bang in the middle of electric hookups but the guy getting us sorted realised we didn’t need it and move us to a peaceful spot

Disliked Not a dislike but a bit of a culture shock early in the morning when you go to the toilet and Flaxton Radio is still playing full blast

Liked This was our second time visiting Flaxton Meadows after staying only two nights last year and wishing we'd stayed longer. The site was everything we'd hoped for on our return, with a spruced up outdoor area at the on-site bar and a new weekend menu for the pizza truck. The drinks, pizzas and sides are reasonably priced, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The facilities are still the best we've visited whilst camping, and we would happily stay even longer!

Disliked Flaxton Meadows is adults-only and mainly a quiet, relaxing campsite (not a dislike!). Unfortunately, on our final night, some unruly campers ignored the “quiet after 10pm” rule, partying with loud music, shouting and jeering until 3am. Several complaints were made to staff via the emergency number, but nobody came out overnight.

At 7am, we were woken by overhearing the site manager telling them to pack up and leave after "too many complaints." This would have been fine had it have been enforced. Instead, the louts carried on as if nothing had happened, strolling the nature trail and enjoying a leisurely breakfast whilst neighbouring campers like ourselves were left to pack up on little sleep before the 12pm departure. By the time we left, they still hadn’t moved, and no further action was taken.

We previously thought the campsite had quite strict rules, but the lack of enforcement was disappointing. Had we been staying another night, the issue might have been easier to shrug off with a lie-in, but having to pack up and leave on little sleep whilst the perpetrators enjoyed their morning made it feel especially frustrating and quite insulting.

Liked Very clean, approachable staff that were very professional and helpful.
Good location with an Uber costing around £10 to get to the centre of York.
spacious pitches and not money grabbing (very appealing as many sites are now)
The bar is a nice atmosphere and the drinks were very reasonable, I really like that they are not greedy and because of that it's an absolute gem and I would highly recommend, I will be returning again soon.
Absolutely fantastic facilities including a hairdryer (again FREE) and lovely toilets.
Bring your rock pegs as the ground is a bit hard but wasn't a problem for us!

Disliked The £60 deal for three nights when booking with them direct is only for campers and caravans not tents.

Liked A really lovely and well maintained adults only site. Impeccably clean toilets and hot showers, friendly staff and a great on-site bar with indoor and outdoor seating as well as pizza/ burger food options to save firing on the stove after exploring/ relaxing.
The nesting swallows near the washing up area were an added entertainment bonus!
Will definitely be returning.

Disliked No negatives at all.
