  • 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.

Paul B.

Mitchell's Field powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

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.

David H.

Mitchell's Field powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Wife and I camped at Flaxton Meadows for 4nights, we were greeted on arrival and shown to our pitch which was a very good size, showers and toilets where very clean. Onsite bar was very nice along with a covered outside seating area, and the onsite pizza station is a gem.. all the staff are so polite and very welcoming, if you'd fancy a walk they have a folder of many walks you can enjoy. Or ya can just kick off ya shoes and just sit back and relax as it's so peaceful. I could carry on rating Flaxton but why not just book and go you won't be disappointed. We had a peaceful break and would highly recommend, wouldn't hesitate to rebook.

Julianne E.

Mitchell's Field powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The whole vibe!

I tented on my own as a mature female single camper.
I sat in the bar in the evenings and chatted.

The welcome as I arrived was friendly and there were always lots of staff around with friendly smiley faces.

The shower and toilet facilities were new and beautifully clean.

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.
