 Perfect site for visiting the city of Oxford.
Nice welcome by the staff, escorted to pitch which was on the one of the link roads (all campers are required to do this during the wet months but no problems)hookup is 10amps, little shop on site which sells the basics. Showers were clean, hot & working well but getting dried is race against time before being frozen - no heating! No motorhome drain point back to the bucket again for us lot. Train noise but not overwhelmingly so.
Nice pub up the road serving cheap meals, chip shop is very good as well, tried them both. Paper shop next door. Park & drive across the road £2. 00 return or walk the river into the city, very pleasant.
Apart from the shower block this is a good site

I know there are a lot of comments about traffic noise, but that’s what you get for a CITY centre site. If you’re in a caravan, then it’s unnoticeable, but if you need peace and quiet in a tent, then choose another site and travel in to Oxford each day. Right outside the site is a bus stop and we never waited longer than 10 minutes for a bus and then it’s less than 10 minutes into Oxford city centre. There is also a great children’s playground within 5 minutes’ walk. The other added bonus is that there is a Go Outdoors right next to the site so if you break anything, then you’re in luck. Don’t rely on your Sat Nav for this site because it’s only sign posted from one side – just look out for Go Outdoors instead opposite the park and ride and the site is behind Go Outdoors. A nice, clean toilet block and very friendly staff. Our first visit to a Camping and Caravan Club site and we’re glad we paid for our membership. We will definitely use this site again if we want to visit Oxford.

We stayed on this site for one night. The wardens were extremely helpful and friendly, and the site is very well situated for easy access to the city of Oxford.
The pitches were not private, but this did not concern us at all. However, the shower block was extremely shabby and my husband was unable to use the showers in the mens shower block.
The gulleys were choked with brown sludge and there appeared to be a problem with the water draining away. Not pleasant.
We would not wish to stay here again and were surprised that this was a Camping and Caravan Club site - definitely not up to an acceptable standard.

If you want a city break in Oxford this is the campsite for you, easy to find right behind a large 'go outdoors' store so if you forget to take anything its on site.
Access to Oxford is so easy as there's a park and ride bus station accross the the road or if the weather is fine there's a lovely river walk into town passing a beautiful pub right on the river (takes about 25mins).
The site is an oasis of calm after coming off the main Oxford road, there is some traffic noise and there's also a train line quite close, neither of these bothered us, might be different if your in a tent.
The site is kept in immaculate order by the very friendly and helpful staff, toilets are a bit dated but kept very clean, my one and only small gripe is being a club site is the price, if your not a member the price is loaded by about £7 a night.
If I had been staying any longer than 2 nights I would have joined but wasn't offered the chance to save money when booking.

As usual for a C&CC site, the welcome was warm, the wardens wonderful and the administration was efficient.
However, there is no mistaking that this Site is not up to the C&CC standard. It is let down by a toilet block that is well overdue for a total refurbishment.
Several toilets would not flush properly, the toilet cubicles were very small, the showers were under-powered and feeble. There were no private wash cubicles.
There was a big mixture of different toilet seats, and taps - even on the same basin. There was no hairdryer (not that I use one on site but it does indicate the underpar facilities).
Oxford is a magnet for tourists and I think this site could put off tourists wanting to stay at other Camping and Caravanning Clubs. I presume there must be a major reason why this site is not up to standard.
It would be useful if some explanation could be put up to reassure and encourage us to bear with the problems and await a new improved 'Friendly' Site.

This site is what you'd expect from a Club site - clean showers and toilets, helpful staff, chemical disposal and fresh water.
There was also a small shop and reception with local info and WiFi is available at a cost.
You can walk to a nearby bus stop and catch a bus into Oxford. It's a great city for shopping and the bus tour gives a good flavour of what there is to do and see. There's also plenty of nice places to eat.
The site can be quite busy and there isn't always tons of room around your pitch. Generally, a great site.

We used this site as a stop off on our return from Devon to visit friends in Oxford for 2 nights. The site was easy to find but the entrance throws you as it is the entrance to a large 'Go Outdoors' superstore, behind here is the site entrance. If you are new to camping & caravanning this site is ideal as you can by everything you did not know you needed!
The staff were very friendly & helpful & showed us to our pitch, 2 minutes walk from the site was the bus stop on the Abingdon road that could take you in to explore Oxford & 5 minutes from the site was a small 'Nisa' shop selling the important essentials.
My criticism of the site is with the facilities block as this was very 1960's & the water pressure & heat was non existent for the showers in both the male & female units.
Overall this is probably the cheapest way to explore Oxford costing our family of 4 just over £30 for a Friday & Saturday stay, we may use again if visiting but overall we felt a little let down by the C&CC facilities as these wre not as we expected.

Just had a family gathering at the site, the wardens were very accommodating at placing us all quite close to each other which was appreciated however the noise at night was unbearable, we expected traffic noise as you would in a city but the site backs onto a dairy which comes to life at around 2100, it was heard even with ear plugs in, to top it off there is also a train line nearby to ensure you really don't sleep for long.
I would never go back. What I thought was strange was that tents were sited nearest the dairy and the caravans and motorhomes were sited furthest away, it should be the other way round to give the tent occupants a chance to sleep.
The toilet and shower facilities are nice and clean but they close for 1 and a half hours with no alternative toilets to use, which is unacceptable as young children do not understand this.
If you intend to go with a motorhome or campervan, there are no facilities to get rid of your waste water.

I was booked in for 8 nights. I was positioned near enough facing the reception and barrier.
This was a very busy busy site and after a few days this was not the pitch to be on for a restful time. Motorhomes, caravans and campers were coming in each day all day.
The wardens and assistant wardens were very friendly and chatty.
My first night was a very hot night so windows were left open. I had trouble sleeping with the sounds of the railway, roads and a loud generator sound coming from the milk depot, so I had to close all my windows at night.
The site is a nice small site and very friendly, the amenities were very clean and so was the site.
No dog walking area on site but off site plenty of places.
No childs play area
My first impression on going through Go Outdoors was not a good one, but this did not encroach on the site.
There was a shop down the road for extras
Being a lone traveller and age concession it was very good value for money
Easy access to park and ride bus service or a nice stroll along the river into Oxford.
This site served it's purpose for Oxford and Abingdon.
Advise to anyone going do not pitch near the reception, because of this I left a day earlier.

The last leg of our trip took us to this small C&CC site at Oxford over the Whitsun bank holiday 2011.
Being members of the C&CC we had booked in advance and were shown to a good sized level grass pitch (no hard-standing) not far from the shower block (no pitches are!). The warden was both helpful and friendly and guided us into our parking position with the precision I’ve only ever seen before at Heathrow Airport!
One of the wardens gave us the lowdown on the local pubs which I found really useful. We like the informality of the C&CC sites and this was no exception with a good mix of caravans, motorhomes and tents.
The facilities are a bit dated and there are no privacy cubicles for hand basins - though this may be an age thing – but the showers are a good size with individual temperature controls.
The main selling point for this site is its position. We only use sites where we can walk or catch public transport into towns/cities and this one is perfect. We found a riverside walk into Oxford city centre which takes around 45 minutes or there’s a good bus service (park and ride close by).

We are Aussies currently on a 6 month tour around the Uk. This was a lovely site. The wardens were very friendly and escorted us to our pitch. The office sells a few basic groceries. They have an information room with lots of tourist information.
The toilets were very clean with plenty of hot water. They also give discounts to over 55's. At 13.50 per night it is excellent value.
The park is very close to Oxford. There is a park and ride next to the site (2.20 return). A 5 minute ride. Alternatively you can walk along the Thames towpath into Oxford. It is a very easy 40 minute stroll. Also if you walk in the opposite direction it will take you to Iffley Lock. Very pretty.
The nearest pub is a 15 minute walk (The Duke of Monmouth). They sell good pub grub but also have a Swiss menu. Reasonable prices.
The entrance to the site is through the Go Outdoor store and is easy to miss. Even though we read this in previous reviews we still missed it.
All in all a great site.

This is an excellent site, one I would recommend.
The site is very clean & tidy. The toilets & showers were good. The hosts were very patient & helpful.
The proximity to Oxford is very good - park & ride bus opposite the site or you can walk along the riverside (about 40 mins) right into the centre of Oxford.
Nearby are pubs, shops and takeaways.
We are members of the C&C Club, hubby has age concession so it was very cheap to stay here!
This site is near a busy road and next to a railway so you do get noise from them but it's not too bad late at night and bearable during the day.
They do get very busy - we couldn't get in on our first try as they were full so you would need to phone in advance.

Second time we have stayed at this site. The location is spot on for walking, cycling or getting the bus into Oxford city centre, or taking a ride or walk along the Thames. The site is very tidy and the warden always friendly and helpful. The toilets and showers are a little dated but always clean. You do get a little noise from traffic but you are in a city and not enough to disturb sleep.
There is no play area for kids on site but there is a park next to it.
Would happily recommend this site for exploring Oxford and the surrounding areas.

We spent 4 nights at this site and it is ideally placed for visiting Oxford. We didn't find the noise a problem - it was barely noticable at night.
The site is well maintained and the wardens very friendly. The pitch we had was a very good size and the site didn't feel cramped. The facilities block is clean and the showers were lovely and hot. In the ladies there were only 3 of the 5 showers working though which led to queues at times even with the site only half full. There are also no privacy cubicles in the ladies.
The site leaflet gives helpful directions to the river and we can recommend the riverside walk into the city and going the other way to Abingdon.

Only one gripe freezing toilet blocks but lovely hot water and nice showers.
Site good for motorhomes, Park and Ride straight across the road into Oxford which is a great town to visit Winter or Summer.
Shop just down the road for papers and any food bread etc, Chippy close to shop did not use. Nice pub close by that did good food we did not eat but it was always busy with food which looked very appetising. No children's play area that I could see but one close by I think could be used will use again
