  • Family-run Oxfordshire site at a smallholding with art studios
  • Didcot and Wantage 10 minutes' drive; half an hour to Oxford
  • On the edge of the North Wessex Downs, with great walks nearby
We are a family run three acre smallholding hosting an Arts Studio running pottery classes and workshops. We have a level, grass covered paddock that is ideal for camping. It is served by a purpose-built toilet block with two toilets, one shower, a wash-room and a kitchenette. We are 3.5 miles from the Ridgeway - an ancient track that, to the West goes past the White Horse at Uffington and to the East links up with the Thames Path near Goring. The Ickneild Way - like the Ridgeway an ancient long distance track - has recently been resurfaced between East Hendred and Lockinge to provide an excellent cycle path from East Hendred to Wantage. Wantage is an historic market town and the birthplace of King Alfred the Great. It is the nearest town for a good selection of shops, supermarkets and a weekly open air market in the town square. Reachable by car and bicycle (and in some cases by foot) are some excellent places to eat and drink. Steventon is easily achieved by foot or bike, while the Hendreds, Ardington and Letcombe Regis are further afield.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Fantastic site with great facilities that are well maintained and cleaned. The little kitchen with microwave was really useful and the honesty shop selling everything from delicious cakes to fresh eggs to hot chocolates and marshmallows was a real bonus. Mark was very welcoming and really helpful with local suggestions and walking routes. Can’t wait to come back!!

Disliked: The road next door is quite noisy but as long as you’re prepared for that you will have a great stay!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: What a lovely little campsite. Really handily located off the A34. Friendly welcome and no problem to arrive a bit later than advertised. It has all the facilities you'd need for an overnight or a weekend stay and the site looks to be really well sheltered by trees if the wind was to get up.
