A marvellous site with something for everyone. We had 3 pitches together which were all quite large. We had plenty of room for a BBQ for all 13 of us without needing to move cars.
The children (ages 18 mths - 12 yrs) had plenty to do. The older ones enjoyed the woodland walk with the exercise machines and especially the horses and donkey, actually all of the animals! There was also a giant chess set and a giant draughts set for anyone to play as well as a tennis court.
They played in the park area and in the play room, in fact we saw very little of them! I suppose it helped that the weather was gorgeous, but I think it would be a good site whatever the weather.
There a lots of places to visit in the general area, Oxford is only a 20 min drive away.
Charlbury is close enough to visit for shopping at the Co-op but the camp site does have a good shop considering the size of it. I agree with a previous reviewer that it would be easier to sign in at a different place as the shop is so small.
The staff are very friendly and helpful.
The toilets and showers were always clean as was the rest of the site, it was obviously well looked after
The staff on arrival were very friendly & helpful. We needed 3 pitches together and they found us a great area by the kids playground.
The pitches are level with electric included, though we didn't use it.
The layout of the whole park works well. They even have pods to hire if you fancy leaving the tent at home.
The shower blocks were spotless at all times of the day, yet I never saw a staff member in there. Plenty of cubicles, sinks, urinals etc. And you even get to listen to Heart FM, which is played over the speakers while you shower.
The play equipment was good, our 6 year old spent many hours on it with other kids he met while there.
There is another area for older kids but I didn't visit that and they have a football pitch area with goals set up too.
There are farm animals for the kids to go & see while walking the Farm Trail, but they have also set up a Boundary Walk & a Woodland Walk, which are great for the dog walkers amongst us.
There is even wi-fi for those that need to keep in touch with the world.
The village of Charlbury is walk able (about a mile) but we drove down. Some lovely pubs & a Co-Op food shop.
The site has a very small shop within reception, but it lacks many items.
All in all, a fab site & we will be returning very soon.
We spent two days in one of the 4-berth Pods on this site. We're a family of five so the Pod was on the snug side! But we booked it at short notice, too late to get a 6-berth Pod, and the dimensions are clearly shown on the website so we can't complain.
The larger Pods appear to be about three feet longer, so again, I think they'd be a bit tight for a family of six, but for five they'd be perfect. We had a dedicated parking space next to the Pod so it was no bother taking stuff to be left in the car as and when required.
Overall we were very impressed with the site and had a wonderful couple of days. The site was half-empty so was fairly peaceful - we intend to come back with our tent for a longer stay in the summer, when it will obviously be busier but we hope the site won't lose too much of its charm because of that.
The kids enjoyed the woodland walks, with exercise machines available to be used along one of them (great idea). Enough play areas to keep younger kids amused, and our boys made full use of the games room, which is small and a bit cramped, and the pool table has seen better days, but all games were reasonably-priced. We didn't use the tennis court but I had a look at it one morning, it's a carpet-type astro court and in excellent condition.
Nice to be able to get freshly-baked bread and croissants in the morning. The shop is small, but not as overpriced as many other such shops I've seen on similar sites, and seemed to have most of the things we needed (including butane gas, crucially, which I'd stupidly run out of on a Sunday evening.)
The toilets/shower blocks were nice and large and very clean. Showers were absolutely fine, our kids didn't think they were too hot.
Just a couple of small concerns - it struck me, as a relatively inexperienced camper, that some of the tent pitches were on sloping ground; only slightly sloping, but enough to maybe cause problems in wet weather.
Also, the Pods are split into two groups, one of 6 and one of 4. I'd strongly recommend trying to book one of the group of four, as the group of six (where we were) are right next door to the giant chess set, which was still being noisily used by kids with torches well past 9pm. As it happened, the kids in question were polite and apologetic when I asked them to quieten down a bit, but this could be a problem if more stubborn kids decide to pitch up there late in the evening, when you're trying to get your own kids to sleep.
Charlbury is a nice little town, a mile or so away from the site, easily walkable although, alas, there doesn't seem to be any cross-country route available, so the walk has to be done along the road (which isn't that busy). The newsagent in Charlbury is open very early, 5.30am I think. The Co-op opens at 7pm (later on Sundays).
We found all the staff to be friendly and helpful. On the basis of this brief, two-day visit, we'd recommend this site to anyone, and we look forward to visiting again in the summer.
We stayed for 4 nights. We were spoilt with the weather for the time of year!
The campsite is lovely with spacious pitches. It was reasonably quiet whilst we were there with a lot of seasonal pitches. We were pitched right next to the play area where the kids spent most of the time. There is a sense of peace and security round the site.
The kids loved the animals too - horses, goats, chickens, donkey, rabbits and guinea pigs.
The site has amazing facilities including;
Washing machine, tumble dryer, veg prep room with microwave, showers inc a disabled shower room which is also great for kids. There was also a family room with a bath which we thought was great for the kids!
The shop is well stocked with essentials and the sort of toys young children go for!
There was a co-op only about 5 minutes away in Charlsbury too.
We did some great geocaching too on a 6 mile walk in Charlsbury.
Dogs are welcome too at no extra charge which was a bonus.
Lovely woodland walk to let the dog off in.
There are tennis courts and in door bowls here too but they charge £5 for an hour each which seems a little steep.
Overall a great site and we will be back as it has been one of our favourites!
We had a lovely pitch part hard standing, backing onto the main play area which was convenient for our children and was not noisy.
The Site had lovely well signposted walks around the site through the wooded area or past the animals.
The play barn was small but adequate but we were surprised that the skittle alley and tennis court had charges.
The only negative was the shower/toilet blocks - they were not very clean and smelt. We did see cleaners but the blocks were not closed off and just moped with water.
Shop small but sold the essentials but a store selling everything which was open till late was located in the Village - 5 minute drive.
Overall a nice site.

Just returned from a 4 night stay using our new tent for the 1st time. Our pitch was very spacious and the electric hook up was very handy.
The toilet & shower blocks were clean and well maintained. The site shop was well stocked and quite reasonable in price. The children's play facilities where plentiful with a games room and playground on site.
It was a short trip into the town to the nearest CO-OP and pubs for bar meals etc. I recommend this site to anyone wishing to visit this beautiful part of england and I hope to return soon!
We have just come back from camping at this site for the fourth time and cannot fault it for the size of pitch big enough for any tent small or large
The toilets and showers are clean and cleaned twice daily. The hot water is hot. Only down side is the shop its very small also it is the place you have to go to when you sign in with people shopping and trying to get onto your site, it's too small. Staff are very friendly and welcoming
This sites welcomes dogs, my son has three I have one and all are welcome there with no charge. There are great dog walks with animals for the children to see. All in all a great site will be back again soon
We have just returned from a two night stay in a 'pod' at this camp site. It is a very popular campsite and we can see why. Everything is nice a clean and orderly. The toilet blocks and plentiful and clean too. Free hair dryers and free good hot showers all day.
The dog walks - we have two dogs - were excellent and clean - looks like everyone respects the campsite and cleans up their pooch poo unlike some I have been on!
The pods are great, we have a tent but it was being borrowed so we tried one of these and it really is a tent that you don't have to put up and down and no drips, condensation or noise in the rain. Thanks for a lovely stay even if the weather wasn't so great.
You can walk to Charlbury as they have made an 'off road' path to the village The Bull was very nice for food and very friendly.
Camped for 7 nights with neighbours, requesting 2 pitches together. We stayed midweek (Tuesday to Tuesday). The pitch cost was reasonable at £26 pn for EHU and 4 persons to a pitch.
We paid £10 deposit for a barrier pass and Wi Fi card - which we used heavily and the coverage was excellent. The site itself was fairly quiet although we were told that the weekend was fully booked. However, the pitches we were given were extremely small and we struggled to put up our 2 tunnel tents as we were effectively wedged into a corner.
Campers are to pitch their tents with the middle of the tent in line with the pitch number - but there was no uniformity to the pitch sizes and there was already a camper on the pitch next to us, which created a huge squeeze. We couldn't guy out our tent properly and were crossing guys with our neighbours! We asked at the office to be moved as there were still plenty of other pitches available until the weekend, but the owner was insistent that we had to stay put and that they had never received any complaints about the pitch sizes before. We walked around the site and found that we really had been given the rough end of the stick as there were definitely better pitches about!
The pitch was sloping and we spent 7 nights hoiking ourselves up our airbed as we kept sliding down the tent - and the weather was inclement so there was a lot of pooling by the end of the week!
The children loved the play areas and spent most afternoons there and there were also forest trail walks which were pleasant.
The shower and toilet blocks were mostly clean but the showers were cold for 2 days with no hot water for showering or washing up. This was reported to the office and was fixed after 2 days. In general though the showers were warm but the cubicles were very cramped with little room to put clothes. The separate wash basin cubicles were a good idea.
The reception/ shop was very small but sold essentials and you could also order daily papers / bread/ croissants which was a nice touch.
There is a local Co-op in Charlbury, but be warned that it is very expensive. You are better off travelling into Chipping Norton and using the larger Sainsbury's. We also used the fish and chip shop there.
We had a Chinese meal in Burford which was lovely but pricey and also visited Warwick Castle - took about an hour travelling and Stratford Upon Avon about three quarters of an hour away.
Visited this site on the first weekend of the school holidays. It was very busy. The staff were very friendly explaining were we had to pitch also asked if we wanted to order a paper and croissants for the next morning which I thought was a nice touch. Our pitch was quite small as we were in the rally field which is like an overflow field. But having said that there was a really nice feel about it. The shower block and toilets were kept clean although there was no toilet roll in any toilet early on sunday morning but I'm sure this was just down to the site being so busy as by eight oclock the cleaners were replenishing!The site is very family friendly and caters for children of all ages.There are some lovely walks on the site and also some farm animals.I would definitely recommend this site to anyone with children. If you don't have children then you may not enjoy the early mornings! I would definitely return to this site again.

His site is probably our favourite of all sites since camping again with a child. Plenty of areas for children to play and be safe; pitches lovely and big, all with EHU, two large and well-kept toilet/shower blocks and very welcoming staff.
We've just come back from a weekend camping here with a group of 5 other families, a couple of whom were new to camping. This is the perfect site for newbies, although sets a high standard for other sites! All the children had a great time and we hardly saw them! We even managed to 'adopt' other children who wanted to come on our night walks in the forest or just play cricket/football!
I really can't fault this site. Even fully booked we didn't feel cramped at all. The one downside, if there is one, you are not allowed to pre-book pitches - requests can be made and they will try to accommodate you, such as being near the children's play area. A lovely mix of caravans, motorhomes and tents. A delightful treat to be able to buy fresh croissants each morning and order a paper!
This place is a real find; I'm sure we'll be going back for many years and there's such a lot of lovely places nearby to visit. A bit pricey but well worth it.
Just returned from a 2 night stay and I must stay me the wife and two children (2,4) thought it was a wonderful place the atmosphere among fellow campers was very friendly and the site was clean, there where cleaners waiting outside to mop the toilets/showers during peak times in the morning.
There are nice wooded walks around the site and the children loved the animals especially the donkeys. The children on site where all enjoying themselves making friends and running around making lots of noise but this stopped by about 10.30 ish every evening.
The wifi on site is a real bonus £5 deposit required for passwords. We really enjoyed our stay here and we will be back.
I am not an experienced camper. This was the first camping holiday for years. The site is however excellent. Had electric hook up, water close by and sheltered pitch on nice grass area. There are plenty of rubbish bins and recycling is encouraged. The facilities are excellent with clean shower and toilet block. The shop supplies limited items however more than enough for our 1 night. I had fresh bread baked for the morning. There is a play park for kids and the owner placed us by this to keep my child entertained. We also had a walk through a forest type area which seemed to go on forever. Would definitely recommend and will return there again to see the farm animals on site this time which we missed on this occasion.
Stayed here from Thursday until Tuesday as were off to the RIAT at Fairford on the Saturday and wanted a site not too far away.
We booked a 4 person pod as thought it would be easier than putting up a large tent just for a weekend and there wasn't much difference in costing between a pod and a pitch.
On the plus side I am glad I didn't take a tent as when we arrived it was extremely windy and people were struggling with tents. On the down side, the pod was small and we were cramped in there. We had a double airbed and 2 singles and you had no storage room, everything else had to be left in the car. Each morning we had to deflate the airbeds so we could put table and chairs in there. They do have a 6 person pod but even that didn't look much bigger.
Anyway, onto the site review.
Very welcoming on arrival, sorted out key, wifi card and gate access card quickly (Paid £10 deposit for these). You can order your papers / milk / bread / croissants etc for each morning.
Very well laid out site but also very open so when it is windy you know about it.
Good playgrounds for the kids, good football pitch, good under cover games room, good walks around the site with farm animals to look at including a very vocal donkey!
Plenty of toilets and showers. A family shower room and family bathroom (50p for water for a bath). A microwave and veg prep area for guests to use and also a freezer for ice packs. A normal laundry room with washing machine / dryer / ironing board etc.
Decent washing up areas. Nice touch was each sink had a plastic draining rack. By the time we left on the Tuesday, 3 had disappeared.
Bad points.
We used the family showers with my 4yr old and the water was scalding hot even my 12yr old said he got burnt. Hubby tried them out the following morning and he also got burnt. Mentioned to reception and they were supposed to sort it out but the next time we used them it was still fairly hot.
The showers are the silly push button type (as they have in the sports centres). You have to try and wash and press the button at the same time. They only stayed on for a few seconds at a time. Difficult when you have a head full of shampoo and are trying to find the push button.
Speed of traffic around the park. There is meant to be a 10mph speed limit but hardly anyone keeps to this including a member of staff who was driving around on his little truck and then proceeded to do doughnuts on the football pitch. One night a bloke nearly got run over by a car and there was an all out row in the middle of the park and 2 other blokes had to pull this guy off as he was about to hit him. If that had been a child, they would have been run over.
The pods are all fenced in to make it private but we had children climbing the fence to do the short cut through to the football pitch and walks. Got fed up telling them off.
There was nobody from the site coming around checking on things, i.E children playing ball around the tents when they are not meant to and we had to tell them the Elsan point was blocked and stinking to high heaven. We reported it on the 2nd day and they were not aware of this.
It is a nice site, very well laid out and a good location for visiting the cotswolds. We went by train from Charlbury to Oxford for the day on the monday and it only took 20mins. With a family rail card it only cost us £7.60 return for all 4 of us plus parking at the station.
Lots of hot water, clean showers and toilets - never had to queue for these, despite being very busy;
Well stocked shop including fresh bread and hot croissants as well as newspapers - if ordered in advance;
Lots for children to do - with a games rooms, chess and draughts, two play areas, tennis court and a few animals;
Generally quiet after about 11pm;
Negatives:
We booked in advance and were asked whether we would like a plot by one of the play areas, which we accepted (and told our children). When we arrived, it emerged that we had been booked as a tent on a hardstanding pitch, and that they were full for the weekend. As a result we were squeezed onto a small (grass) plot on the other side of a hedge to the reception area and far out of sight of either play area leading to great disappointment all round. The plot was also noisy with cars parked up/ came in and there is a children's ride outside reception which made intermittent sounds all night. Generally, not a relaxing experience!
Overall I think that it was bad luck that there had been a mess made of our booking, but might be worth double checking when you book that you have been allocated the right type of pitch.
There was radio coming over loudspeakers in the showers/toilet areas;
Quite pricey;
They have cockerels!
Generally, this just wasn't our kind of site - it is quite commercial with lots of bustle, not peaceful and whilst there are some lovely big plots, there are also small, noisy and cramped ones (these seem to be the plots in the field prefixed with 'R'). We had hoped to unwind and spend quite a lot of time on site whilst the children played, but instead couldn't wait to get away for the day.
