Generous pitches, hot outdoor showers, sunset views and firepits

Pitch up and relax in the great outdoors at High Lodge Farm in Oxfordshire. This peaceful 400-acre farm borders the River Thames and looks out over historic Abingdon (widely thought to be England's oldest town), with views that are particularly spectacular at sunset. Made up of rolling fields, meadows and mature woodland, this back to basics site feels a world away from urban life and is a great place to enjoy a mini break under the stars. This pop-up site has spacious pitches where you can keep warm by hiring a firepit on site. Other facilities include a mobile toilet trailer, basic hot and cold water outdoor showers (hot showers require a small charge), a cold-water washing-up station, an outdoor games area, book exchange and a small bale stack to play on. Barbecues are permitted if raised off the ground (no disposable barbecues, please). Firepit hire is subject to availability, and logs will be available to purchase. If you're here in summer, you'll also have access to the site's nearby PYO sunflower field, along with special Sunflower Sundowner events on select weekends, where you can sip a glass of fizz or artisan Oxfordshire gin alongside freshly grilled burgers as the sun sets. Catering trailers also sell locally roasted coffee, cake and ice creams as well as breakfast rolls, burgers and hot dogs during PYO Sunflower opening hours. Dogs are welcome and select parts of the farm will be open for exclusive walkies with your four-legged friend.

Liked: Single parent family with 3 children 8-16 years old.
Really lovely safe campsite. My children and I loved the relaxed feel. We enjoyed the woods, play areas and especially loved our fire put making smores as the sub set beautifully over the hill.

Disliked: There was nothing to dislike.

Liked: We had a fantastic stay at High Lodge Farm. The hot showers were great and the toilet block a good improvement from last time we stayed. Our children loved the activities in the centre and it it lovely that we can see the play area from our tent. Thanks for a great stay- we will be back!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: It was a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The location is beautiful and the sunflowers are an added bonus. Dog friendly 100% and we loved the fire pit hire.

Disliked: Toilets were not cleaned once in my 3 night stay.
Parents not supervising their children (not the camps fault) but staff should monitor more during the day.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for coming to stay and for leaving a review - we do appreciate it. I'm sorry you felt the toilets weren't cleaned. We're visiting three times a day to clean the toilets and check the bins as we know that's the thing that irritates guests more than anything. I'm sorry you felt they weren't up to scratch. Sometimes after a flurry of people using them they can look like they haven't been, but I promise we do clean them regularly!

Recommended, we would go again.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We were a large group of 13 families. The space in the middle was ideal for the children to play safely surrounded by campers. Facilities were basic but fine. Scenery is beautiful around with hills and wildflowers.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're delighted so many of you came and enjoyed camping on our farm! We hope you welcome you back again soon. Emily
