About Flaxton Meadows
This tranquil site is set within rolling farmland and is a nature lovers paradise. Spot the site's friendly hens, or watch the ducks skim around the pond. Meet up with friends, relax and enjoy a refreshing drink at the onsite bar 'Champers for Campers'. The site has collaborated with Natural England to install nest boxes for various bird species that have seen a decline in numbers in recent years. Through the campsite app, you can watch live feeds from webcams set up in some of the bird boxes. There's also a good chance of seeing one of the rehabilitated hedgehogs that the site look after with local wildlife carers. There are a selection of secluded hardstanding touring pitches with 32 amp electric, surrounded by evergreen trees, and fully serviced pitches with 32 amp electric, water and waste connections. All pitches are generously sized so there's plenty of space for you to set up your table and chairs outside. Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome.
Flaxton Meadows is open from 01/03 to 31/10 in 2024 and from 01/03 to 30/10 in 2025.
Site facilities include sparkling clean and modern washrooms and toilets with underfloor heating. The facilities include hand dryers, hair dryers and shaver points. The facilities are fully accessible and controls in the showers are designed for ease of use.
An eco friendly laundry area is supplied too, fuelled by solar power, and there is a nature trail on site with hedgehog houses and bird boxes.

One of the best campsites we have stayed at. A great location, spotless facilities, lovely staff and a warm, cosy and reasonably priced bar. It was approximately ยฃ13 for an Uber into York. Would stay again and recommend to others.

Things to do on site and in the York area
Historic York is a mere 15 minute drive and perfect for a day out. Immerse yourself in the Shambles, take lots of photos at York Minster and then get yourself a slap-up lunch.
An easy 15 minute drive will also take you to Castle Howard, an incredibly luxurious estate with enormous gardens. It's steeped in impressive history and has more recently been featured on the big screen.
For active types the options are endless.
Up for a bigger challenge? There's the Yorkshire Wolds Way, the Ebor Way and Centenary Way which all cover impressive distances and stunning landscapes. The national park offers pony treks, excellent cycling and there are even adventure options like hot air ballooning and quad biking.
