Electric optional grass touring pitch
Liked: Just home from a brilliant weekend at Greenacres. Staff were really friendly, helpful and welcoming. Well spaced out pitches, all with great views. Facilities all very clean. Fire pits, especially the communal one made for a very pleasant stay meeting other campers. For me the highlight was the fantastic walks from site, you can go for miles off road, my dogs highly recommend.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Friendly staff and owner, small site, minimal facilities but hot shower. Great view, close to Oxford Brewery tap room.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: No one bothered me, it was mostly peaceful. It was close to where I needed to be.
Disliked: There was no hot water for washing dishes and it dropped below zero so it was difficult to wash anything.
Also the coordinates in the email took us to some land about 5 mins away. There was no one answering messages but found the site by using Google maps

Liked: We like the site a lot, our first visit was back in the summer, this was our return visit. The facilities are fairly basic, but clean and tidy and are being added too all the time. The views, the location for local walks, the brewery in Horspath and the No46 bus into Oxford are all excellent.
Disliked: We asked a question on the booking form, I tried to phone a few times but the phone was not picked up and I tried asking a question via Facebook Messenger - all were unfortunately unanswered which is poor. Also, we did not have electrical hook up as in our view £9 per day is far too much to charge.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Great view
Excellent bus access.
Washing up is under cover and more sheltered from wildlife than at many places
Site has a gate which closes, with a code. Although the gate doesn't work sometimes
Disliked: Tent price curiously went BACK up from £10, to the full Summer rate of £25. In the middle of November. With only one of the tent pitches occupied. Message heard loud and clear. Tent campers not wanted this winter.
Pump in shower is weak and it also doesn't drain well. Meaning you're stuck there in standing water with an electric pump struggling at full capacity, which seems a very dangerous combination.

Liked: Lovely big field with electric hookups if needed. Big sky and lovely views to the south.
The toilets, showers and washing up area were perfectly clean and well-equipped, with complimentary biodegradable cleaning products.
We used our bikes to reach Cowley using mainly traffic-free paths.
Disliked: Shower wasn’t very hot in the morning.
