Flaxton Meadows Reviews

Perfect Campsite

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 £13 for an Uber into York. Would stay again and recommend to others.

Peace and quiet

Quiet weekend away. Great, spotless no fuss. Top top facilities. We did nothing with no pressure. Just walked the dog. Will defo be back.

Camping

Would definitely recommend this place to anyone. We stayed as a young couple and thought it was absolutly brilliant. Hosts were absolute brilliant and couldn’t ask for anything more. Onsite facilities were very clean.

Brilliant

Will be booking again, lovely site. Staff were great and so helpful.

Worth a visit

Excellent for the week long stayers who want a break at a very private, quiet place. Also for those who want to keep off the internet and not want to make Whatsapp video calls to see your grandchildren whilst away. My sim company signal I found was was useless, so relied on Flaxton Wi Fi, which I also found was terrible. But, positioning of the site was great. Village 2.5 miles away with garage / post office combined, shops, pub & restaurants. York approx. 9 miles away, also one hour away from Scarborough, Bridlington and Whitby. Flaxton staff nice and helpful, very nice shower block and toilets spotlessly clean. Nice drinks bar selling fresh / lively pint of lager and a pizza trailer. A lot of converted vans parked up whilst we were there, they have many doors so expect to hear every one open and close, unlike a caravan with one only door.

Amazing

Fantastic service. One thing, on the website it said no children under 18 and we did see kids running about.

Brilliant

Brilliant. Staff friendly. Lovely place and quiet.

Thanks Paul for your great review. We hope you enjoyed your stay with us and will visit again soon.

Thoroughly enjoyed

Great site. Lovely team to assist and brilliant bar to end the day. Woodland/Moorland walks adjacent to the site. Can't comment on surrounding pubs/restaurants as we had no need to venture too far.

Great site

Lovely site, spotlessly clean and the staff are really helpful. I have only rated the facilities as 2 star because we ran out of gas and ended up going to every stockist in York and no-one had any stock of the gas, so had to return home a day early as we couldn't cook and the site doesn't allow BBQ's, which would have helped! The pizza van only opens at 5pm, pizza's are okay but really needed a few herbs for taste. Would definitely visit again.

Thank you Anthony for taking the time to leave a review. I am sorry to hear you ran out of gas during your stay and struggled to buy anymore. The only barbeques we allow on site are gas barbeques. We do hope you will visit again soon.

Amazing campsite

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Flaxton Meadows. Very well maintained site with outstanding facilities and great staff. Showers and toilets were wonderful, so clean and spotless. Also, great pot wash area and recycling area. Brilliant little bar which opens every evening from 5.00 through to 9.30 with outside and inside seating. There is also a great on site pizza van which opens Tuesday to Sunday 5 till 8.30. We will definitely be returning.

Great site

Great weekend away at Flaxton Meadows. Site spotless, great facilities and the bar is very good with great prices. Not far from York and Scarborough. We will be back next year for a couple of weekends. What a find.

Thank you Paul for taking time to leave a great review. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay with us, and we look forward to welcoming you back next year.

Going back

A lovely site and we were made to feel very welcome on arrival. Spacious pitches very clean tidy toilets and showers. There was a great bar and pizza van on site. The dog walk/ nature trail is ideal. All in all, I can't fault this site. We liked it that much we have already booked to return next week too.

Thanks Pam for your great review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and are looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Just wonderful, 100% would love to of stayed longer

Stayed for a week, but could have stayed a month. What a fabulous 👌 site. Two sets of couples ran the site like clockwork. Amazingly clean, tidy, friendly and both made our stay so enjoyable. The bar on site was a bonus of course, but not only convenient, it was a great social meeting place to chat with other like minded people. Never noisy and just a comfy and welcoming space to chill on an evening. We can't recommend this site enough. Once visited, I'm sure it won't be your last. The best we have ever stayed on. Thanks guys for being so lovely and making our stay so memorable. We left feeling like we were friends and not just another customer. Well done on all your hard work, you are all just brilliant at what you do. Hope to visit again. Carol, Ron, and of course, Buddy - who thanks you too for all the free treats 😀

Our stay

What a little gem of a site! Staff on hand to help on arrival. Extremely clean modern facilities. Value for money. Every thing was clearly signed. The bar was a lovely touch! The ground was nice and flat which made it easy to get our tent up.

Friendly staff

Very helpful team at Flaxton Meadows. We only stayed one night but the setting is nice with a wildlife walk around the camp perimeter. Clean and warm toilet and shower block with a good eco ethos.

Beautifully maintained site

A lovely quiet, secure site that was well maintained and included top quality showers and toilets with underfloor heating plus adequate facilities for washing up. The onsite wardens were very friendly, helpful and visible as they manned the very cosy on site bar, as well as ensuring the site was always clean and tidy. Dogs were welcome in most parts of the site but had to be kept on a lead at all times. The specific dog washing area was really helpful especially as it used warm water too. The camping pitch was almost limitless as the camping area was never too busy. The location was ideal for travelling around in all directions. There was plenty of wildlife including the resident peacocks. Be aware that there is water nearby (inaccessible) so for those that need it, make sure you protect yourself from mozzies! The Wi-Fi was a bonus too but not always reliable. All in all, an excellent site that we would not hesitate to recommend to others who wish to explore York and surrounding countryside and coastline. We used the Park and Ride in York and Whitby, which was ideal. Monkey, our Maltipoo gives it 4 paws despite being apprehensive towards the automatic lawnmowers! 😂 🤨👍🐾

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review, and for your kind recommendation. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us, and hope we can welcome you back again very soon. Hopefully Monkey wont be too apprehensive towards the electric lawnmowers on his next visit.

Weekend break

The Camp Rangers were very welcoming, but they were not local so didn't know much about the area. The facilities and site were immaculate. The downside was the excessive noise from the busy road.

Site's response

Thank you for your review and we note your feedback. We do have a leaflet stand of all the local attractions situated in the Champers for Campers bar, and our notice boards on the facilities block also have a QR code which lists all the local attractions and restaurants. We hope the noise from the road hasn't put you off visiting us again, and hope we can welcome you back very soon.

A really excellent campsite

We booked at short notice due to the storm coming and we needed a hard pitch. We were made to feel really welcome, the facilities were excellent as was the bar!

Site's response

Thank you Yvette for leaving such a great review. We were glad we could help at short notice, and delighted you enjoyed your stay with us. We hope you will be able to visit again when the weather isn't so bad.

Fantastic site

Lovely site and very friendly staff. Toilet facilities very clean. Will return with our dog next time. Wish I had known they take blue light card, but I'll use it next time we book.

Thanks Sarah for taking the time to leave such a great review. We hope you enjoyed your stay with us and we look forward to welcoming you, and your dog, on your next visit.

Pleasant break

Lovely, well tended site with a really nice, well priced bar. Slightly isolated from any local pubs etc and struggled to get a taxi into York. No complaints about the site though.

Site's response

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, and we hope you enjoyed your stay with us. We hope your struggle to get a taxi hasn't put you off staying again, and recommend trying Uber app. We hope you will visit us again soon.

Lovely site!

Lovely site. Clean & friendly. Will be even better in a few years when the many tree saplings have grown up!

Weekend stay at Flaxton Meadows

Excellent clean campsite. Lovely pitch with lots of space for awning tables etc. Toilet block was excellent and always clean, in fact probably the best we've been in. The wardens were amazing and very approachable. Nothing too much trouble for them. Lovely bar area with very reasonable price drinks. Warden ls took us to our pitch and gave us all the information about the site and surrounding area.

Thanks Linda for taking the time to leave such a great review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and enjoyed the bar and facilities. We hope you will visit again very soon.

Our stay

Great site with large, very spacious fully serviced pitches. Very helpful staff, amenities very clean and up to standard, in fact better than most. On site bar opens at a reasonable hour, you can order from local establishments (i.e. pizza etc) and easy access from A64 in both directions. We really enjoyed our 2 night stay and guaranteed to return when we can.
