  • Family-run dog-friendly farm site in Cropredy village
  • A 20-minute drive to British Motor Museum; 40 mins to Blenheim Palace
  • Wood-fired pizzas on busy weekends; a short walk to pubs and cafés
Fancy a farm stay, but not so keen on the idea of navigating little country lanes? Set off to Oxfordshire and The Old Dairy Farm Caravan and Camping: getting here involves a mere 10-minute detour from the M40 at Banbury. That location makes this a most handy spot for motorway stopovers, but there’s plenty around to please those who choose to stay longer too. However long you stay at this family-run farm, you’ll not want to miss out on meeting the pygmy goats and free-range chickens and peering into the aviary; once the kids have done that, send them off for a proper run about on the large recreational field to tire them out before bedtime. Handy too are the smart and well-maintained facilities, including a toilet block, showers, a washing-up area, water supply and Elsan point. The wood-fired pizza oven gets going on busy weekends (and it’s also available for private hire if you’re having a gathering). Don’t worry if there’s no pizza action while you’re here: it’ll take just a few minutes to walk to Cropredy’s pubs, cafés and shop (or its play park). It’s also possible to walk to the Oxford Canal and River Cherwell for waterside wanders, and a short drive will get you out into the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for more walks, plus golf courses, fishing lakes and National Trust estates. In the main this is a peaceful site, but it's worth noting that a rail line passes fairly close by so you may hear a bit of noise from the pitches (or even spot trains – much to the delight of young rail enthusiasts).

What customers say

Family-friendly site, spacious spots, clean facilities. Staff friendly, lots for kids (animals, play area). Relaxed vibe, good location. Some found facilities dated, train noise a factor for light sleepers. Great value, recommended for families.

10-amp powered grass campsite

Liked Space initially was good Location good Showers spacious there is a small shop bar and cook up place animals nice touch met a lovely young couple pizza is good nice walk to local pub pitch size good owners friendly enough and let you get on with it

Disliked We left early other campers just spoiled our chill time messy rowdy and some just horrible to their children we just didn’t want to be around that vibe came to chill not listen to drunks and parents yelling or not minding their children Maybe bank holiday was a bad idea for us level of people meant things a tad dirty but I think it was just that lots people

10-amp powered grass campsite

Liked Loved how big the site was and the location the site was. There was a shop and bar on site too. They also had an ice cream van that went round the site too

Disliked The toilet facilities were in a shed that appeared to not be maintained. The shower ‘block’ contained only 4 showers females and then 4 for male which were constantly queued and always smelt of urine. The overall hygiene of the washing facilities were poor

16-amp powered grass campsite

Liked Great site, perfect for families! Bouncy castles amazing! We had such a great time cannot fault anything. Fantastic for kids! Great atmosphere!
Was concerned by some reviews? - don’t read them, not sure they’ve ever been to a camp site?! Toilets & showers were as clean as any camp site, it’s not en-suite! & never dirty even over the August bank holiday. If you don’t want train noise ask to be at the opposite side?

Cara B.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked There were some nice things about this campsite… it was a short walk to the canal, and then into the village. We visited both pubs which had a good atmosphere. The campsite is in a good location, we visited both Oxford and Diddly Squat. The campsite is big, with non electric you can pick anywhere mid field and the electric pitches were round the edge. We didn’t have anyone next to us, and it was pretty packed. The site has a little bar and shop, and they do food too, it has a certain charm about it which I quite liked! We had pizza’s, they were good! The park is great too, they had bouncy castles when we visited, as well as the birds and goats.

Disliked The toilets were just about passable, not sure they were cleaned while we were there to be honest and the urinals which sort of sat in the middle were smelly. The pot wash sinks didn’t have a plug, and a shared hot water tap. It is right next to a train line, and boy are those trains loud, but we did find that we tuned them out after a while. We could also hear the hum of the motorway through the night, we live rurally so we aren’t used to it!

Local attractions

Coming to the Cotswolds for a bit of fresh air and gentle activity? Set forth for fishing at Clattercote Reservoir, or tee off at Cherwell Edge Golf Course; both are about 10 minutes away by car. Country walking routes are plentiful too, of course, as are fine buildings to mooch around. Blenheim Palace (40 minutes’ drive) is perhaps the best known of all the Oxfordshire stately homes (and with good reason, for ’tis fab) but it’s worth taking a look at some others too, including Farnborough Hall (10 minutes), Sulgrave Manor (20 minutes) and Upton House and Gardens (20 minutes). For a break from the classic Cotswolds activities, head out to meet the big birds of Fir Tree Falconry (15 minutes) or sigh over all the shiny machines at the British Motor Museum (20 minutes). And if you’re in need of a tipple or two to accompany your barbecue back at base, there are some excellent local ones to be acquired at Hook Norton Brewery (25 minutes) and the Cotswolds Distillery (half an hour).
