 A very good, near level site, some hard / some grass pitches which are fine - a slight incline easily adjusted to - with VG facilities. Very reasonably priced.
Easy to find up the A343 from the bottom of the A34 bypass, turn right immediately after the building works into Penwood Lane (Road Name Board on the one side only), then follow clear signs to the campsite.
Spacious pitches, quite site, Toilets, showers, washing up facilities plentiful and clean. Good water and electricity supplies.
Dogs on leads on site, but only 2 minutes along the adjacent lane to a very large field where we were able to give our dog a good run, even into an adjacent wood. If you go through the gate at the top of the field, turn left and follow the lane. This can take you round in a loop for a much longer walk. Plenty of other walks in the nearby Pen woods across the A34 Bypass.
Nothing for Kids to do on site, except that you bring games etc. With you.
Good local pubs - good shopping in Newbury, plenty to do in the nearby area. Good friendly helpful folk on site.

A good site, but hard to find as their website is out of date. The car sales place is no longer there, houses are being built so look out for them and turn left here. Also Penwood road has no sign, nor is the site signed from the main road. 'the council won't allow it' apparently. If you cross the small hump backed bridge on the county boundary then you have gone too far and will have to go a mile or more to the nearest roundabout to turn round. Once on the unsigned Penwood Road take the first left turn.
It's not dog friendly, nowhere to exercise them on site; up the road to the left is a large field and some woods/heathland a bit further on in the same direction which are best driven to.
There is a sign at the site entrance which advises that longer caravans are not accepted, but this is not mentioned on the website and in fact there are several twin axle vans on the site, mostly used by workmen so no 'no commercial vehicle' rule here.
A nice enough site for a day or two; we paid £16. 50, £1 for a dog which is rather annoying.

Turned up here without booking whilst cycle touring. Very friendly welcome and no hassle getting a spot in a large well prepared camping field. Prices were very reasonable for a pitch and owner/manager even asked for feedback on what could make the site better for cycle tourists - a nice surprise on both counts ! He also offered to let us charge electrical things in reception. Shower block was not the most modern, but it was very clean and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it, and as mentioned previously there was also lots of soft loo roll ! Nearest shops are around 1-1. 5 miles away up the main road towards Newbury - there is a Sainsbury's local and a little further on a Budgen's, which is right next door to an excellent Fish and Chip shop (The Blue Dolphin - marked as Lemon Plaice on Google maps). If you're finishing a long day on the bike, you might want to go to the shops before you hit the campsite as there a small hill up the road outside of the camp. There is some road noise, but that's going o be a feature of most campsites as you get closer to London - it didn't affect the quality of our stay. I'd definitely stay here again, it's a great spot on the way out of or into London.

Great cheap tidy little site. Clean toilets and showers. The whole site is very well kept and seems to have one field for Caravans and one for Motorcaravans. Loads of toilet paper in the loos (expensive stuff too) Grass and hedges very well kept.
No Wifi and no footpaths for walking but for touring the area it is fine.

A little gem of a site. Stopped for 4 nights. We found the facilities spotless. Endless hot water to basins, showers and wash ups. Grass was a nice length with nicely trimmed edges. Pitches were a good size both grass and hard standings. Very good value for money.
Ideally placed to visit Highclere castle (Downton Abbey), Newbury races and many National trust properties. Lots of nice walks including Great pen wood, Snelsmore common and Greenham common were you can still see the nuclear bunkers.
A short drive away is historical Newbury with its many shops, supermarkets, Kennet and Avon canal, local museum and plenty of tea rooms/coffee shops.

Beautiful well kept clean site on the outskirts of Newbury. Easy access from the A34 and great value for money. 30 pitches, 16 amp electric. Some grass and some gravel pitches: Plenty of room for tents too. 2 ladies and 2 gents Clean showers with plenty of hot water (Hair dryer 20p) & toilet, laundry & recycling facilities & washups. Plenty of places to walk dogs close by in 'Penwood'. Close to Highclere Castle (the home of 'Downton Abbey'), 5 mins drive from Newbury. Ideally situation for Newbury Race course. Tennis court available (bring your own rackets/balls). Plenty of places to eat in Newbury and ' The Woodpecker Pub' is within easy walking distance

Visited here September 2016 whilst on route for 2 days 'Green Laning' around Wiltshire and Salisbury Plain, with our Land Rover Defender 110 fitted with roof top tent and side awning. Weather was overcast with overnight rain. The site is tucked away off the side of the very busy and at times noisy A34, but once you get use to the background drown it's not a problem. Pitches for camping are good solid grass and of a fair size to allow privacy to be maintained. The facilities are good quality and cleaned regularly. My only criticism would be there are no chairs / stools for getting changed when using the showers where outdoor footwear has to be removed before entering the cubicles. On exit I had to use my towel has a bath mat to put my shoes and socks back on and keep my feet dry and clean.
Needless to say we also used the site again on our route east and onward adventures. Would highly recommend and use the site again. Especially convenient for route between the north and channel ports at Portsmouth or Poole.

Stayed just the one night as broke journey up.
Nice gentleman at reception who gave us plenty of do's and don't's. He then showed us to our pitch which was set in a pleasant area.
Very handy for Newbury and some nice walks very close by.
The site does what it says on the tin! Definitely would have no problem staying at Oakley Farm again.

This is a cracking little site. Not overburdened with amenities, but the low price buys you a beautiful situation and meticulously kept surroundings.
Some reviews are critical of the shower block but I found it perfectly adequate, and I was pleased that unlike most sites it wasn't closed for cleaning at the time most people would be inclined to use it.
Mick castes a wary eye and his discrete team ( give or take the odd lawnmower) keep the place neat and manicured.
The pitches are well spaced and each has its own neat lawn to the side.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this site and look forward to staying again.
