Date of Visit: May 2016 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Rusty Voyager 2 reviews from this member

 We visited here to test out our new camper and We stayed for two nights arriving on Friday.

Due to a lot of roadworks on the dual carriageway near the site (coupled with badly timed rush hour traffic) We ended up arriving later than planned. We phoned ahead to let them know and found the wardens waiting specially for us (we were the last ones arriving for the day). As the website states, they do not take card so make sure you have enough cash.

There is a barrier at the entrance which opens upon approach during the day and needs a code after a certain time.

The washing up area was clean and inside. The toilets were very clean and well looked after. The showers were among the best I've had. As you can imagine at this time of year, the pool was Cold. The kiddlywinks didn't seem to notice though.

The bar resembled a very small social club, but everyone was friendly and the price very reasonable. We had food (mostly as we arrived late etc). And although cheap, it is all microwaved / deep fried. Which is definitely not our usual fare.

The play area was enjoyed and tucked into a corner so we didn't have to worry about cars etc.

We had a lovely stay. I do have a couple of downsides however.

The shop was very badly stocked. Unless you wanted milk, orange juice or the random camping item.

The other being that they were quite pushy about us leaving or paying the extra money for staying past the departure time. The area that we thought was parking is apparently not, and as we were walking back to the van 15 minutes after the stated time (after drying the kiddlywinks off from a last minute dip in the pool) the warden spoke to my partner about paying the extra. As we were on the verge of leaving she let it go. It does say on the website etc but as the park was so quiet it seemed a little unnecessary and almost ruined what was otherwise a nice weekend.

 Super site. We used this site as a night halt, found it very easily & had a pleasant welcome at reception where everything was explained even though reception would normally have been shut then. As it was the winter season none of the bar facilities were open so commenting only on what we found.

Toilet block was super, warm, dry & clean. Lovely large shower head in shower & plenty of room so clothes stayed dry. Good laundry room, we didn't use the machines but all seemed reasonably priced. Easy to use disposal points & rubbish area. We asked if we could stay hitched up as we had a problem with our jockey wheel & were given a place on a long tarmac strip which was perfect. It was obviously quiet when we visited, caravans & motorhomes only on site, no tents so can't judge what it would be like in the height of the season. We were very happy with the site & the facilities and also the whole booking process. Would certainly use this one again.

Reviewer: Tjfromdevon 1 review from this member

 Booked this site for a five night stay after reading all the excellent reviews on this site.

Positives;

Extremely friendly and helpful site wardens. Good toilets and showers, kept very clean - I think they were cleaned twice a day.

Bar was very nice, good availability of specialist beers and excellent value food served very quickly.

Pitches were very level and did not require much levelling of the van. Very handy to either Bicester or Oxford as this site is half a mile off the A34 and equidistant from both places. If you get the chance visit the Trigger pond pub at Bucknell - the food is excellent.

Our daughter was on site with us for about 3hrs one evening, we advised the wardens of this and they did not charge us as she was only there for a short while, which I thought was very fair.

Negatives;

The pitch we were on was adequate, it was gravel hardstanding, which was fine, but we were surrounded on three sides with 6 foot high hedges and in front of us across the site road we had a four foot high hedge that backed onto the area in the middle of the site for tents. Also we had low hanging tree branches just above the caravan so it was difficult to take advantage of the plentiful sunshine we had during our stay. We didn't put our full awning or porch awning up as to do so would have completely filled the pitch we were on with nowhere to sit outside.

Please don't get me wrong it was a lovely site but if were to return I would ask for a different pitch.

One other point was that the booking terms I was sent stated fairly emphatically that 'commercial or marked vehicles are not permitted on this site under any circumstances', yet a Thames water authority transit type van in full company livery was on site on and off next to a caravan all through our stay complete with water authority employee in full high vis garb.

 Lovely small site. Nose is minimum. Perfect for small families as has playground and small swimming pool. Area where playground is has plenty of space for ball games too and grassed area for tents. Facilities of toilets and showers always clean and warm and always hot water. Really nice family bathroom if you have small children, it's like home from home so you can all be in the bathroom together and sort the children out as one. Only require £5 deposit for the key to the bathroom. Nice small bar area and food available at weekends.

Nice area near to Cotswolds and Oxford. Must visit day out to the Cotswold wildlife park.

 Truly a gem of a campsite.

A family run business and it shows.

Upon arrival you are warmly greeted and given a tour to your pitch. (We were 33 and a fantastic pitch it was, very close to to the facilities).

Stuart, Sue and the team are the most friendly and helpful people you could meet.

The owners pop by every so often to make sure you are settled in and have everything you need.

The pitches are very well looked after. Just like the whole site. The facilities are some of the best we have had the joy of using. Toilets and showers are clean, tidy and well laid out. Hair dryers in the ladies are a fantastic touch.

We also used the family room as we have a flock of 3 darling children too. There is a bath, shower, toilet and sink with a baby changer inside.

I cannot tell you what a difference a bath makes with young children!

The park is towards the rear of the site. Safe and out of the way of vehicles moving around the site.

Well looked after equipment, swings, slide, monkey bars, tyres.

The swimming pool. Heated by solar tubes. Ok it was cold. The great British weather had not been kind for a few days. However as many people say once you are in. And I suggest you get it over and done with, it's just fine. There are some benches along the patio section you can relax on too.

The games room is a nice touch. Some board games, mega blocks, pool and a few arcade type games. There are also some children's and adults books you can read too.

The bar leads off from the games room, nice and cosy. It has a lovely feel to it and is very relaxed.

We ate in the bar on our final night and the homemade curry was delicious. Everything is very well priced. In fact it is good value for money.

The shop has the basic essentials, bread, sweets, washing powder etc. There are also some little toys. The tractor and trailer survived the first night so good quality toys!

There is a kitchen room, with 4 sinks, a microwave, toaster, 2 washing machines at £2 each wash and a dryer at £1 for 30 minutes. What lifesavers they were!

We had a wonderful time. We cannot wait to come back again. Thank you for a lovely few days.

 What a great site and easy to get to, second time we've stayed here this month. Site clean and tidy and pitches flat. Nice clean toilet block.

Play area great for the kids and games room as well to keep them happy also a swimming pool which wasn't to warm but ok once you got in.

Used the bar for food and drinks on both visits. Food was excellent and even though the bar was packed was ready and served very quickly well done Sean, Michelle, and Pete.

Only let down if any was a member of staff rattling keys on the bar as if she wanted everyone to go home 3/4 of an hour before the bar shut, made us feel not wanted.

Visited oxford so easy via park and ride at water eaton.

Will definitely be back again though and would recommend this site to anyone.

 This was my first visit to Diamond Farm, and my first camping trip where I brought my toddler along as well as my 4. 5 year old. I'd emailed that day to advise of a late arrival, as requested, and was greeted warmly when we arrived. We were escorted to our pitch and given a rundown on the facilities, with some local tourist information thrown in too.

The children were too excited to sleep after our barbecue, so we ventured into the games room/bar. All the staff were friendly and drinks were reasonably priced. We didn't try the food, but the meals brought out also looked good value. The games room had a couple of our-of-order machines, but my two were happy enough pretending to play on things! The table football was popular with the older children around.

The next day we made an early trip to the nearby Bicester Village for school shoes (Pret opens for coffee 30 mins prior to the shops if you want to get there early, and there's a 24 hour Tesco next door if you need supplies). We were back in time for the pool opening at 11am, and took a dip! We never used the family bathroom, as I found the showers plenty big enough for the three of us. The toilet/shower block was nearly always spotless; the only time I saw muddy footprints, they were gone by my next visit!

We want for a walk to the nearest village, by heading down the road virtually opposite the site entrance then taking a footpath across the fields before following the B road back. We rewarded ourselves with very reasonably priced ice creams from the site shop! I noted they had a few basic supplies, as well as small toys and the like.

The site is really easy to find - well signposted and off the aforementioned B road. You can hear some traffic, though it didn't really bother us as we were in the centre of the site.

Dinner on the second night was at the Harvester nearby at Kidlington (3 miles or so), as I had a voucher. They do takeaway if you're so inclined, and the site recommends it for when they're not doing food.

I would definitely return to this site!

 Stayed for an overnight stay on our way to Dorset and I think we have seriously found a little gem of a campsite.

Staff were really friendly, with the site wardens helping out, (reversing our caravan on to our pitch) and coming to see us when we had set up, to see if we had everything we needed.

The shower/toilet block was impeccably clean with one of the best showers we have ever used, had a great laundry room with sink and some cooking facilities to hand ie kettle, microwave.

The shop is very Basic but has everything in it you would need.

There is a bar/restaurant which is very nice, family orientated. Well behaved dogs were allowed in and from what I saw the food looked excellent, (especially the deserts) and reasonably priced.

If we are ever in the Bletchingdon area again, we would not hesitate to visit again, lovely site, lovely people. Our last 2 days in Dorset were rained off so set off home a day earlier, phoned Diamond caravan park, who were very accommodating so we ended up enjoying another night on this lovely site.

 Stayed here for a week with my children in our folding camper.

It's a lovely site and real value for money. By booking 7 days I received a 10% discount which was an added bonus. The pitches are flat and well looked after.

The toilet block was clean and tidy, Showers (3) were lovely. Very clean and had a waterfall shower head. Hairdryers also provided for your use. There was a family bathroom which could be used upon request.

The site had a small playground, a games room attached to the bar and free WiFi so all bases covered for the children.

There was a small shop on site which was reasonable. Ice creams were charged at a decent rate which isn't always typical!

The pub was nice. Open from Wed - Sun 6. 30-10. 30. Only ordered food for the children, but the other meals looked nice. Take away also available.

The pool was a lovely added bonus. Weather was lovely and it made our holiday feel like we were almost abroad when the sun shone! The pool is heated, but you wouldn't know. As they say, once you got in it was fine.

Used the park and ride to visit Oxford. Went to visit the natural history museum which is good for a half day out.

Also parked at Thornhill and got the X90 bus to London and had a day sightseeing. This cost £2 to park (11hrs) and £18 for the coach (kids went free) so was a fairly reasonable day out. Took approx 1.5hrs to get to Victoria which wasn't too bad.

Bicester outlet village is about a 20 min drive away and worth a visit if you want to bag a bargain. I timed it with needing to buy the children school shoes and saved a good £20 in the Clarks outlet.

I would recommend this site and looking forward to returning again soon.

Reviewer: Katyhamlett 1 review from this member

 This is simply the best campsite I have ever stayed on. We paid just £18 per night for our pitch in August. The wash blocks are new and superb, more like hotel facilities than a campsite! The site is thoughtfully laid out and well kept. The staff very friendly and eager to please. You can tell it is a family business and not paid help.

The worst thing about camping for me is a poor nights sleep. The site seemed to quieten down at 10pm and not get noisy again early. Perfect for both evening and morning types. We slept very well.

We did not travel with kids but there is a playground, games field and swimming pool for healthy old fashioned fun.

We recommend this site, stay if you have the chance.

 I am certainly not a seasoned camper, however I have been here twice recently. First time in May and was so impressed I visited again this month. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Pitches are flat and most are separated by a small fence or hedge. Toilet block is probably the best I have ever used. Very clean and music playing 24/7! So in the middle of the night it's quite nice!

Kids play area is great as is the pool. They certainly enjoyed it. Well worth a visit

Reviewer: Altom 24 reviews from this member

 Easily accessible from A34. Really handy for Oxford, P and R nearby, supermarkets also.

Ideal location to visit Blenheim Palace, Cotswolds and Oxford countryside.

Lovely toilet and shower block. Swimming pool on site, which we didn't use but it is heated however no shade around the pool.

We travelled from Portsmouth ferry terminal and it was a comfortable 2hour trip with the caravan on tow.

Quite a good stopover point if you have to travel a good distance north but worth spending more than the two nights that we had booked.

Staff were generally very helpful, a small shop on site with necessities.

Pitch reasonably level but all hard standings, need steel pegs to pitch an awning or to secure your caravan step. Most pitches separated by hedging

Traffic noise from commuter travel might be an issue for some people.

Pitches are flat / spacious and private. Lovely toilet and shower block which is Very clean with music playing 24/7 (a very nice touch)

Heated Swimming pool on site,

Well worth a visit we will definitely go back again

Reviewer: JulesT-001 6 reviews from this member

 We have a large Kampa Filey 6 tent that fitted perfectly in their lovely flat grass jumbo pitches. This site is lovely, with well maintained facilities and gardens. The swimming pool is just an added bonus! (If chilly - but great once you are in).

The site is peaceful. Some pitches are made 'private' by the use of hedges which is really nice. There is a playground & play field surrounded by these hedges which helps keep footballs away from the tents & cars.

The facilities block is brilliant. Very clean, with 3 showers in the Ladies section, 4 toilet cubicles & a sink cubicle + 3 normal open sinks. Showers warm with constant supply of warm water.

There is also a family bathroom, but we didn't use that so can't comment. But I would guess it's the same high standards as everywhere else.

Within the facilities block is a chemical toilet disposal point - one of the better ones I've seen & used. There was also a washing up area with 4 sinks, a freezer & a microwave, a 'pay as you go' washer & drier which was all clean & a pleasure to use.

The on-site pub served pub meals and had a selection of drinks. There was a snooker table within the bar and a pool table within the games room.

The on-site shop was sufficient for 'oh I forgot my. ' As you'd expect.

So the camp site was a real little gem. This was only superseded by the friendliness of the team who look after it! They were so smiley, chatty and really helpful. Their advice about Oxford's park & ride scheme was spot on. As was their hint to find The Milk Shed cafe (ice cream there was delicious!)

The location is easy to find, close to the A34 but not close enough for traffic to disturb. It just means that access is easy! We explored Berkshire, Cotswolds, Cotswold Animal Park, Oxford, Bletchley Park & the Uffington White Horse from this base.

Thank you for our lovely week's holiday.

Reviewer: Gammamummy 1 review from this member

 We stayed at Diamond Park this weekend in a folding camper. On arrival the warden, Stuart, very helpfully showed up to our pitch and helped us manoeuvre the camper to the best position on it. We also had an extra car- we had to book the space for this in advance and at busy times I would say this is essential as the car park is small.

There is a small shop, bar and games room. There is food available from the bar most evenings and a take away breakfast. The local eggs were delicious (but apparently in limited supply as the fox has been eating the chickens at the next door farm!)

The pool was open on request but due to the weather so far this year was quite cold, it was a good size though and if it had been better weather we would have got more use out of it.

The toilets and showers were really clean but at busy times the ladies showers were very busy as there were only 3, and the hot water did appear to run out towards the late morning.

The site was nice and quiet at night.

We visited nearby Thrupp where there is a great tearoom and you can also hire canoes and kayaks, or cycle along the canal towpath.
