About Flaxton Meadows

This tranquil site is set within rolling farmland. Spot the site's friendly hens, or watch the ducks skim around the pond. There's a good chance of seeing hedgehogs too! 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.

A note from the site themselves...

I have always been passionate about camping and love the outdoors. As a York Minster trained cabinet maker and joiner, the entire site has been built by myself. My father was a coal miner, and he encouraged hard work and ideas. My Grandad was a carpenter, and I followed in his footsteps.

I wanted to build a fantastic campsite that provides excellent access to York and the Yorkshire surrounding attractions. At Flaxton Meadows, I have incorporated many things that cannot be found in other campsites such as top quality showers and toilets.

In today's eco world, you can say that you have stayed at an eco campsite and made a huge contribution to the environment. There is a fantastic sense of community here as we don't pack campers and caravans in, so there's lots of space to enjoy the wildlife. You won't be disappointed!

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.
