Stayed here for the weekend prior to an appointment at the Hospital. Efficient pleasant staff, clean site, clean very hot showers. Lots of Blackbirds at 0515 for the dawn Chorus and loads of ducks begging food wandering around the vans!. Wifi is OK at £3 for 24 hours. Though why do the French site give WIFI for Free yet in the UK we pay? another ripoff??
This site is next to the mainline railway so can get a little noisy but it isn't overpowering at all.
We found this site to be unattractive and in need of updating. The ground was very undulating both on the tarmac and the grass. The passing trains were very noisy whilst we were there and seemed to run late into the evening. The shower and toilet block is in need of a complete refit, rotting screens between showers is not nice. The Gents toilet door banged each time the door was used, The resident ducks added interest but also left some mess.
If you want to be handy for visiting Oxford or passing through on the way south it's OK. But it really is past its sell by date and considering its run by the CCC they should be ashamed for not investing in new facilities. Expensive for what it is!
We stayed on the site recently, using a free night voucher that we received at the NEC for joining the camping & caravanning club. The remaining 3 nights were a very reasonable price. As there had been a lot of rain, motorhomes were parked in tandem on the Tarmac. Certainly preferable to getting stuck in the wet grass and churning it up.
The site is in an ideal place for catching the bus into town, but, in fact it is also very easy to walk into town along the riverside, watching the university college rowing teams training on the river.
As its open all year round, if you fancy a site near the wonderful city of Oxford, with loads to see and do, then give this site a try. You won't be disappointed. The wardens are very friendly and work hard to keep the site looking at its best. OK the showers aren't the best, but the block is clean, warm and does the job. After all the price reflects this so I had no complaints.
With direct access to the River Thames, this family-friendly spot is perfect for boaters and walkers alike. Tourers, tents, motorhomes and RVs welcome. Grass electric, hard-standing and premium multi-service and RV pitches available. Spacious, modern, heated shower blocks with free hot water, hairdryers and shaving points. There is also a laundrette, park shop, disabled facilities, a book swap library, riverside picnic grounds, slipway, fishing in season, Premium WiFi, childrens playground, nature trail, football goals and outdoor table tennis table. A fantastic base for visiting Henley, Windsor, Legoland and more! A serene oasis nestled in the beautiful countryside at the base of the Chiltern Hills, just a stone`s throw from the charming Henley-on-Thames. Find out more here
This is an ideal site to explore Oxford from. As previously explained, the facilities require updating (ongoing issues with the landlords are preventing further investment) but they are well maintained and kept clean and tidy. Both the railway line and main road run nearby so don't expect peace and quiet but you can't be this close to the city centre without some noise. There is a mini Tesco's and fast food outlet a short walk away. The Duke of Monmouth does an excellent pie and chips and good beer too. To get to town, walk by the road or river, or take the park n' ride bus. About £5. 00 for two adults return.
The wardens were attentive and helpful. They even put on a small Halloween party! We enjoyed a very comfortable stay for a couple of nights (£17 / night for two plus tent). Come here to do the Oxford experience and soak up the university town atmosphere.
Visited the site Sept 2015 for a single night. Booked via the usual very good C&CC site app.
Warm welcome - found the site easily with google maps - situated behind a Go Outdoors. Felt a bit 'urban' at first but wasn't that bad - I suppose we are next to a city ;)
Was shown to pitch by a friendly chap. We decided to go non-hook up so was pitched towards the back of the site. No real choice of pitches and felt slightly more cramped that we are used to.
I also believe from chatting to a chap on the Sunday morning this is used as a stop gap for students and lecturers without accommodation while they find digs (based on a conversation I had with a lecturer who rolled in at 1am !)
Bit of train noise which stopped at 11. 30pm and could hear the dairy 'hum' but I think previous reviews have made a bit of a meal of how bad it is. Not bad at all.
What sets this site apart from the rest of the C&CC club sites is the huge canyon between this site's facilities and the usual club site standard. For this reason I think it should be reclassified. This is no fault of the owners more of Go-Outdoors - especially as they seem ' a corporate partner' and no doubt they get their fair share of passing trade by patrons of the site ! To be fair it's stated upfront and previous reviews have highlighted.
Bathrooms are functional - but only so. I would shower, but only if I had to, but the experience wouldn't be anything but that. They did smell a bit despite the efforts of the owners - just the age of the building fabric I think. I think I`m going to go to world of camping and yeomans instead :)
On to what to do. Nice walk into Oxford besides the river, or you may want to ride a bicycle. 30-40 mins stroll and a very nice one too - you may even see a rowing competition. Similarly good bus link into oxford.
Would recommend the colleges. We grabbed a couple but would go back.
Very good welcome and expert help backing up our caravan to pitch. All flat, good sized, grass pitches. Facilities clean but a bit dated. Easy route when towing, all main roads. Some noise from trains but did not bother us. Good site to visit Oxford. Bus stops close and lots of buses to the city. When driving, Oxford has one way systems and road closures at present, so not good for strangers. Large Sainsbury about two miles away with cheap fuel. Small Tesco close to site.
Just spent a fortnight on this site, all the facilities are more than adequate and are kept lovely and clean, nice to have showers that don't keep timing themselves out when you use them, the site staff work hard and are extremely helpful.
The site itself is easy to get to and is within easy walking distance of the city centre, or if you prefer there is a park and ride close by and the bus stop is just around the corner.
Clean and comfortable site. Very easy to walk into Oxford City centre along the river. There is nothing wrong with the shower/toilet block. Staff were friendly and helped with our request for 2 pitches together. We had the front ones, opposite the reception and they were fine. There is some road noise, being so close to city, but didn't bother us at all. A Tesco express is within easy walking distance, along with a reasonable pub! Nice site, and would use again.

We stayed here in june 2015 and found it good its a little run down as the land owners are being a little difficult with the club so as regards investment in the site its on hold, so
Dont expect usual top class facilities however they are functional. Just a few mins walk from the site is a supermarket and a bus stop to Oxford town centre and its many delights the site wardens were friendly and knowledgeable the site shares an entrance with Go Outdoors who own the land, at times we found the site a little noisy as the railway line borders the site and I think the line was being upgraded, try not to camp directly under the trees at the back of the site as there are many birds in the trees and I saw a few tents with large deposits on them, overall I would use this site again as I enjoyed my stay. Oxford is a most interesting place to visit I liked the Ashmolean Museum.
Lovely little site and ideal for Oxford which is either a short bus ride away or a leisurely stroll along the river.
While its a shame that CCC are unable to obtain a long lease on the land and guarantee its future, its nice to be able to stay on a slightly 'rustic' site so close to a busy city centre (reminds me of how camping use to be) and with easy access from the A34.
Site was clean and tidy and the staff were very friendly and welcoming, I'd definitely stay here again.
Stayed on this site purely to visit Oxford, having two dogs it seemed like the perfect site being 1/2hrs walk along river to the city, which it is, however, I wish we had stayed on our previous site and driven to the park and ride opposite and walked from there. Yes it is behind GoOutdoors and they are only granting one year leases to C&C Club but this is no excuse for 7 out of 10 toilets being out of order on three days, the showers being caked in limescale and the shower gully filthy, the hairdrier stuck up with duck tape (which fell off) the grass being exceptionally long, and a very scruffy appearance of the whole site including two almost derelict caravans obviously long term parked in corners and lived in full time. We will never return and left after two nights having to forfeit the third night's site fee. The warden suggested that as we had a motorhome we should be using the facilities in it - we are happy to do so on a CL site paying their fees but not premium rates on a full Club site.
This is a pleasant tree-lined site in a spot which is very convenient for getting into Oxford by bus or a lovely walk along the riverside. Oxford is a very interesting and historic city with some wonderful places to see and to visit. The Pitt Rivers museum (in the Natural History Museum) is fascinating. It was so interesting with such diverse collections of exhibits, that we had to go back for a second visit.
Facilities on the site were fine. Showers and toilets were adequate and clean with soap, loo rolls and plenty of hot water. Washing up area was OK too. We had no problem with access to the site, although the barrier was often left in the up position.
Access to the Go Outdoors shop was too easy, and I bought new boots, fleeces and walking trousers!
Pub food available within easy walking distance along the main road, and plenty of buses (free to those of us with bus passes!) to a variety of places around the area.
I would recommend this site, and we will stay there again - provided it's still there- if we're visiting Oxford in the future.
The site has a great location 1 mile from the centre of Oxford.
Leave the car and cross the road to the park & ride bus station, costs £2. 40 return for each adult, kids under 16 ride free + free wifi on board.
Great to cycle or walk to the centre which takes about 30 mins.
Plenty to do around the city from bus & walking tours, climbing the spires, visits to the colleges & cathedral as well as following the inspector morse trails, Alice in wonderland story & Harry potter film locations. Blenheim palace is about 9 miles away & makes a great visit.
The site itself is situated behing a go outdoors store which owns it, but apparently only grant short one year lease's to the club, hence the reluctance to invest in the facilities.
The toilets are in the middle, a bit dated but clean, with plenty of hot water in the shower. Electricity was stated at 10amp but due to time of year of visit & units all having heating on, it really struggled and the whole site tripped out on a few occasions, don't know how it would cope if it was full.
No kids facilities on site, ie playground.
The pitches are fairly level but do undulate in places so ramps are recommended.
There is no motor home service point, as all the pitches are grass the motor homes generally park on all the paths, so the site can turn into a bit of a giant car park.
Mobile phone signal was good together with good tv reception.
A code is needed to get into the site which apparently changes on a Friday, which the wardens didn't warn us about, until we got back at 9. 30 on the Friday night and couldn't get in!
All in all decent site with a good location. Well worth visiting the area.
Cheers
John
