Dog-friendly wild meadow site on an organic Buckinghamshire farm
A 10-minute drive from Waddesdon Manor; 15 minutes to Aylesbury
Values of health and sustainability; rural footpaths and pub nearby

Green-fingered and keen on a getaway that’s got the same values? Pitchcott Hill Farm is such a place, founded on sustainable, organic and biodynamic farming. The large, handsome meadow is part of a friendly, authentic organic farm where the pitches are spaced out for privacy and wildness – that means acres of space (literally, as the field is 14 acres in total). Nature’s at the fore here, that’s for sure, and it all begins in the site’s camping shower, set up inside a hedgerow alongside the meadow. It’s inside a tree, so you’ve got a hot shower just like at home, but with a natural cubicle and wildlife as your viewing window. A firepit is provided here ready for evening time – and for other facilities, there are toilets and charging points. Off site, there are plans of action for both foodies and walking fans alike – first, a whole load of footpaths in the surrounding Buckinghamshire countryside and, just over the fields, a pub in Oving (around 20 minutes’ walk) with a jewel of a menu and beer garden. The local village, Whitchurch (35 minutes’ walk) has shops for everyday essentials and the local farm shop (10 minutes’ drive) is a good place to pick up local and seasonal produce. The aim of the farm is to regenerate the health of the soils, so sustainability, regeneration, woodland creation and environmental protection are all at its core – and the team are grounded in creativity, authenticity and inclusivity for a healthy community feel.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Lovely clean and peaceful site with great views. Marshmallows round a fire pit, under the stars.

Elyse was super helpful, texting before, around if we needed anything, but it was all as described.

Would stay again.

Ellie M. Aug 2024

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The site was super quiet, easy to find, and had lots of relatively flat areas to pitch our tent. The composting toilet was okay, and the person I spoke to when we arrived (Elyse) was very friendly. A simple campsite if you want to be in that specific area, not sure it's exciting enough to stay otherwise.

Disliked: The £70 I paid for two nights with two kids felt a little steep given that there is one sink, one toilet, a grubby looking barn with picnic benches, and soooo many spiky weeds all over the field so we couldn't wear sandals/flip flops, the kids could roll around/sit on the floor as they quite often enjoy doing.

From the manager: Hi Ellie, thanks for your feedback. There are a maximum of 10 pitches within the field in order to retain the wild nature of the site. It's a 15 acre field so campers have a lot of space and privacy. The facilities provided included 2 basins and the hot shower within the hedgerow. The philosophy of the farm is to balance the needs of people and nature. I'm glad you appreciated the quietness and simplicity. Best wishes, Tony

Great stay, would definitely come here again

Andrea D. May 2024

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: We enjoy our stay and the feeling of spaciousness, being a huge field full of wild flowers with alot of distance between campers. Also liked the no car at tent rule, which adds to feeling of having gotten away from it all. (There are wheelbarrows to assist.)
There's also a barn which we used to dry tent before packing it away.

Had a great stay and we'll be back.

Disliked: There is only one compost toilet and area to get water, which was fine and adequate for number of campers, but glad we brought a large water container.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Site is easy to find. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Everything was easy enough to find. Nice site good view. Short walk to a very nice pub and other things. Good price. Lots of space lots of privacy.

Disliked: Could not download the site map. It kept failing so we didnt have the suggestion of 10 pitches or great idea without speaking to staff but staff made herself available at key times so didnt have to call which was good as she was in site at arrival time

Local attractions

With the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the east, there are many trails within reach and Phoenix Trail (half an hour’s drive) is one of the highlights. Between Princes Risborough and Thame, this seven and half-mile is free of traffic, meaning you’ll get to cycle, walk or horse ride in peace – good conditions to spy on red kites and birds of prey about the area. National Trust properties know a thing or two about a peaceful time too. Perhaps you’ll want to fly a kite or practise your aim with archery on the Dunstable Downs (35 minutes) or poke your head into the aviary at Waddesdon Manor (10 minutes) to see rare birds? At Boarstall Duck Decoy (half an hour), you’ll get to see just one of four duck decoys remaining in England too. Now, how about a ride of some type? There are rollercoasters in Gulliver's Land Theme Park Resort (35 minutes) or steam train rides from the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre (10 minutes). Meanwhile, the vehicle of choice at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London (45 minutes) is a broomstick… and in Oxford (50 minutes), a punt.
