 This is a lovely little site I would definitely go back ideal situation for exploring the cotswolds. Burford was a lovely little town and within easy walking distance. The toilets were really clean. The Only downside to this site was that it's close to a main road but that wouldn't stop me from visiting again

This is a lovely quiet, friendly site. We are complete novices to camper vanning and we were relaxed and comfortable putting the awning up and getting settled, the owners came over to offer support and suggestions in a friendly and helpful way. The site is extremely clean and beautifully maintained. The toilets and showers are also clean and comfortable to use. The village of Burford is gorgeous with plenty of good pubs and shops to explore. Oxford is an easy drive away, we found the Park and Ride the best option. If we were ever in that area again we would definitely use this touring park.

Stayed one night before the Levellers day festival. Easy to find and well signposted nearby. Arrived late after phoning ahead and a welcoming display board showed our pitch number. Easy to park and maneuver, on a large level grass pitch. Individual electric points and hedges gave real feeling of 'ownership' of your pitch.
Toilets and showers a little difficult to locate, even on a small site, so a few more signs please, but overall a very very nice site.
Walked into Buford in the evening with our two dogs and were really impressed by the beauty of the town - an undiscovered gem!
We will visit site, town and festival again.

We (wife and I) stayed here for just two nights to visit Burford and the Cotswold wildlife park. This is a perfect spot for just that, close enough to walk into Burford (watch out for The Hill on the way back) and only two miles from the park.
This site is the smallest we've ever used and we do normally prefer larger sites with more/better facilities but the facilities here are perfectly adequate for the length of stay and the size of the site.
Some of the caravans seem to be long term residents with tubs of flowers and plants placed outside but that's not a criticism !
Can't see they we will be back here anytime soon but wouldn't hesitate in recommending it for short stays.

This is a very small but pretty site round the corner from the Little Chef which is on the roundabout. So a cooked breakfast is sorted!The site is just at the entrance to the school. We didn't find it noisy despite location. It is a 5 minute walk downhill to the village where there are some nice quaint pubs which do meals and other little shops. The buildings are pretty made of Cotswold stone. We went to the pretty ivy clad Cotswold Arms. The site is also 2 miles from the Cotswold water park. Electricity is included in the site fee. Showers are 30p. You put 30p in a machine, take a token and use the token for the shower. The small block is unisex. The pitch was half hardstanding, half grass, half enclosed by hedges.

Site close to Burford, easy walking distance, but be earnestness hill back up. Site is compact but neat and tidy, level pitches and though small did not feel cramped. Facilities were clean and well maintained, an honesty box for the showers and hand wash hot water in the sinks. The side is close to the main A40 so there is background traffic noise but it is so convenient and sheltered it dies not disturb too much. Have used before, will use again.

This is a brilliant location to visit Oxford and surrounding area. The site is so well run and Geoff and Kay are so very helpful. Burford is a sort walk to visit as is the local garden centre. Such a charming area to visit don't forget bread to feed the ducks. We visited Blenheim Palace well worth it and Oxford itself brilliant use the Park & Ride as little parking space. So much to see and enjoyed a river trip. Also visited Stonehenge and Salisbury again well worth the time. The site is like someones well kept garden so nice and pretty.

We stayed at Wysdom Park over an extended weekend during the July 2013 heatwave. Sandwiched between a high school and the main A361 Burford-Lechlade road, it is a small, compact (though some might be tempted to say claustrophobic site), but with a friendly atmosphere that allays much of the anxiety of being pitched perhaps a bit too close to ones neighbour. Most of the pitches are well-trimmed grass plots, with some hard-standing plots further inside the camp – many occupied on a semi-permanent basis. All the pitches make good use of trees and foliage to aid privacy and help shield campers from each other.
The plot we were on was a grass pitch located right next to the fence by the road beneath trees that offered shade during the morning, but which opened up to the sun during the afternoon and evening. Ordinarily that much shade would have been disappointing, plunging as it did the bedroom of our caravan into virtual darkness. However, in the weather prevalent when we stayed it was actually a blessing to be masked from the sun’s intense rays before one had yet to fully wake up. And, yes, it is undeniable that the traffic noise can be intrusive (the road being busier than usual on account of a major air show being staged that weekend), although it does quieten down at night and all but the lightest of sleepers will undoubtedly adjust to it.
In terms of amenities, there are water taps dotted about the site and a facilities block with two showers and adjacent toilets located next to the warden’s caravan. It appears that the showers were once demarcated by gender, but now the signs have disappeared and they are available solely on a first-come-first-serve basis. However, this does mean that if you want total privacy from members of the opposite sex when showering you need to bolt the outer door, effectively taking a toilet out of commission in the process. The showers operate using a 30p token, both tokens collected from and money deposited in an ‘honesty bag’ pinned to the notice board. Around the rear of the block is the washing-up point, the elsan point and another toilet.
Out and about, once the busy A40 roundabout is negotiated, all the charm of Burford village centre lies just ten minutes stroll from the site – including a Sunday morning car boot sale held in a field across the road. However, those charms come with the caveat that prices in its shops, pubs and restaurants (and, alas, its car boot sale too!) reflect Burford’s status as a magnet for both wealthy locals and overseas tourists. Therefore, those with a less substantial purse may wish to head for nearby Carterton, which is ten minutes drive away and where pubs like the Beehive offer wining and dining at more reasonable rates. There is also a large Co-op supermarket in the centre of Carterton. In addition, dozens of enchanting Cotswold villages and attractions are also within an easy drive, as are the towns of Witney, Faringdon and the ever-delightful riverside haunt of Lechlade, with its beautiful walks and boat trips along the meandering upper Thames.
Oxford is also about half-hour’s drive from the site, although if you do plan on spending a day in the ‘city of dreaming spires’ avail yourself of the frequent Park-and-Ride bus service at the Pear Tree Interchange off the A40, rather than be fleeced by the punitive parking charges in force in the City Centre. Regular local bus services also connect Burford with Oxford and the Cotswold’s main tourist haunts. Indeed, if those campers with concessionary bus passes plan their journey right then they can also use the bus to convey them back from the town to the camp site, avoiding the need to climb back up the steep hill that is Burford’s main shopping street.
In summary, Wysdom Park is a small, friendly adult site with a reasonable tariff (£15 per night) that is ideally located for exploring Oxford and the Cotswolds.

Just returned from Wysdom touring park and felt I had to write a review. Super site, very well maintained. Toilets and showers extremely clean. Good location with Burford only a 5 minute walk away with plenty of shops, cafe and restaurants and pubs. Would recommend a visit to the garden centre which is only a ten minute walk away. Friendly and helpful wardens. Can't wait to go back a real find. Thank you Kay and Geoff.

A little gem in a beautiful setting. Everyone was very friendly and the wardens were so helpful that we couldn't help but enjoy our stay. Even the weather was beautiful.
The shower and toilet facilities are spotlessly clean, with plenty of hot water for 30p. There are lovely bakeries and coffee shops in Burford, and some lovely shops. You can take the bus to Witney, Oxford etc. Very easily.
Thanks Geoff and Kay, and we hope to see you again soon.
