Cracking site

Fantastic new site. Well laid out, lovely little bar and beer garden, with dog walk route. The showers and toilets are very nice and the warmest with underfloor heating, there is no shivering showers. Wash and dryer payg and dog wash. New reception being built so may be a bit noisy for the next few months. Can't wait for my next visit.

Anniversary break

Lovely and well presented site, facilities were first class :-) A well stocked bar onsite with a very nice Black Sheep Ale on draught and lovely hosts. Large hard standing fully serviced pitches - cant fault anything (even a 32 amp EHU!) Great value for money.

Thank you for your lovely review Garri, it does mean a lot to receive. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and the Black Sheep Ale. We hope you will be able to visit again soon.

It was okay

Never read that it is next door to an army base so our first night there, all we seemed to hear was the sounds of the base. Also this was advertised as adults only, which we always prefer, and there were kids up and about, so yes, the bar and toilet block are immaculate, but when I book adults only, that's what I expect.

Site's response

Thank you for your review Gary. Please note the site is not next to an army base, but a firing range which is located 5 miles away. The firing stops at 7PM and does not continue through the night. In terms of children present on site, for clarity, the motorhome and caravan pitches are adults only and some of our log cabins allow family bookings. Thank you for your comments regarding our immaculate bar and toilet block, we do pride ourselves with our immaculate facilities. Reverend Jon Charters-Reid

Excellent

Definitely friendly staff, very quiet and clean lovely campsite.Can recommend.

Lovely site

Definitely recommend. Excellent camping facilities and extremely clean. Will return. In easy reach of York park and ride too. The touring pitch was stone, which was fine, and water on pitch. But we didn't put the awning up as we don't like awning on stone, especially pegging down into the stone, but that's a personal preference. But otherwise a lovely touring park.

Thank you for your lovely review. We hope you will visit us again in 2023.

Great site with amazing owner

Best choice for anyone visiting York on a budget. There also is a lovely bar on the campsite operated by the owner.

Outstanding holiday site

Extremely good site, the best we have stayed at so far. Great friendly and helpful staff, and the owner is friendly helpful and generous. Very clean, well kept and loved site. We will visit again. Thanks for a great break away.

Nice quiet site

Lovely quiet site, nice little bar and lots of space and very clean. The best toilets and showers I've been to. We will definitely be back. X

Short stay

Just had an amazing weekend away. Staff showed as to camping pitches and were really friendly. The toilets and showers were immaculately clean and the showers were really good power. We will definitely be going back it's an amazing location for York and Flamingoland and general exploring of local areas. We would definitely recommend.

So peaceful

This site was perfect for the weekend of peace and quiet we were looking for. Our host Gavin was brilliant. He looked after us so well and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. Hats off to Gavin, keep doing what you're doing! We even ended up adding an extra night due to being so comfortable here!

Great!

We only stayed one night as heading north, but would definitely stay again. Lovely and clean and a friendly host. Nice social bar area too. Definitely worth a visit.

Booking again!

Words cannot describe. All brand new, clean, friendly, nice bar, welcoming and close enough to nip out for essentials! 5 minutes off the A64 with no testing roads. Book it and try, but leave the teenagers at home, not much for them.

Flaxton Meadows Campsite

The most modern, user friendly facilities that I've ever come across within this space. The cabins are warm, quaint and peaceful. Being positioned by the water was so utterly zen. The staff were attentive but not encroaching. This place is truly a slice of paradise. Not to mention York in general, what a beautiful place, the architecture in the city center left me in awe. The Mrs was in heaven, we'd shot into York in the late morning to check out the historical buildings and the train museum and grab a bite to eat. Then we'd return to the Flaxton Meadows campsite absolutely brimming with nature, isolated from all the hustle and bustle in the town center. We had a perfect holiday and felt right at home in the cabin.

My stay

The campsite is very clean and looked after. The toilets are very clean. The staff are polite and helpful. I would stay again.

Fantastic

This place is awesome. I take my boy and his friends about 3 times a year. Family friendly, good facilities, safe.

Ideal location for visiting York with fabulous facilities

We stayed on a hard standing pitch, but be warned that underneath the top gravel layer, there must be some very large chunks of hardcore as we bent 3 rock pegs and broke a mallet when pegging out our awning! Will be lovely once the hedges are established, though I fear for some of the smaller plants getting trampled by small people. The facilities are fabulous - underfloor heating was a welcome luxury :) They could use some hooks to hang towels and washbags on by the sinks, as there's nowhere to put them at the moment. Would be good to have a dedicated playing area for children- the grass area wasn't full when we visited, but I can see that when it is, there isn't anywhere for them to play. Minor points though in an otherwise well thought out site :)

Outstanding site, amazing service and facilities

The best site we have stayed. It is an incredible place, the location is fantastic with perfectly maintained landscape and gardens. Immaculately clean with fantastic facilities available. Large pitches with large spaces between each. The service is the best available and would highly recommend this place as it is one of the best available. A truly beautiful and peaceful place. We have stayed a couple of times and cannot wait to go again soon.

Lovely little site

A lovely little site with a very high standard of cleanliness, especially the showers and toilets. Large area for car and caravan, dog friendly, and a lovely little bar area stocked with games. The owner is very friendly and there were chickens and even a peacock. Fresh eggs from the chickens can also be purchased. The only downside was the TV not working, but needed a better aerial. Will definitely return.

Lovely & friendly site

Lovely, clean, well kept site. John was a great host who made us feel very welcome.

Friendly and very clean

Greeted with friendly smile, bar/cafe well stocked, toilets and shower block very clean and tidy, excellent one night stay.

Flaxton meadows

Very clean, pleasant and friendly. Showers and toilets are spotless and there's a bar on site with tables outside, suitable for caravans & camping, they also have a few self contained chalets. We felt it was just a little bit remote for visiting York city centre for a night out, it's a 15 min drive and £20 each way by taxi. But if you want nice long walks or cycling routes, there's loads of places to go.

Great wee site

Facilities and cleanliness rated 4 starts due only the the dish washing area which was open to the ducks which meant there were droppings everywhere. Perhaps a gate of some kind would solve this. All other facilities were first class.

Ideal quiet spot just outside York, we will definitely be returning!

Had a lovely peaceful stay here for four nights in our touring caravan. The site is easy to find, being just off the A64 outside of York, which meant it was quiet and far enough away from the road that you couldn't hear it. The site is new, and the facilities are immaculate with beautiful spacious showers and plenty of hot water - the underfloor heating was a real bonus. There is a cosy bar on site which was well stocked and a lovely place to retreat to for a couple of drinks on a night after a day out. We had our granddaughter stay with us one night and she soon made friends with other children on the site and enjoyed feeding the ducks and geese which were roaming around the site. A lovely dog walk around the edge of the site was also a bonus, and there was plenty of open space for tents. Very friendly staff who made sure to explain where everything was when we first arrived. We will definitely be returning.
