  • 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
Off to Oxfordshire for fresh air, bike rides, rural walks and… a bit of pottery? Muster Point Campsite is part of a family-run three-acre smallholding that’s also home to an arts studio running pottery classes and art workshops. That makes this a particularly handy place to stay if you’re signing up for one of the courses or workshops at Oxfordshire Arts – but you don’t have to be arty in the slightest to appreciate a stay here. It’s also an excellent location for those seeking out walks and bike rides – it’s just on the edge of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape and both the Icknield Way and Ridgeway are close by for long-distance outings or shorter stints. Equally easy are outings to Oxford, which is about half an hour away by car (and best approached by using one of the Park & Ride services). Closer by are Wantage (the birthplace of King Alfred the Great) and Didcot (home of the Didcot Railway Centre) – both are about 10 minutes’ drive away and have a good collection of shops and places to eat, with an open-air market in Wantage too. Or maybe you’re after a country pub? There are plenty of those around too – you can walk or bike to Steventon or get in the car for Hendreds, Ardington and Letcombe Regis. Or perhaps an alfresco meal back on site? You’ll be allowed to bring a barbecue along, and there’s a great farm shop less than a mile away for fresh produce (and pick-your-own fruit in summer). Facilities in the camping paddock stretch to a kitchenette, a washing-up area and a purpose-built toilet block with a shower and two toilets.

This small, tidy spot has top-notch facilities, incl. a kitchenette & hot showers. Hosts are lekker friendly, and the honesty shop's got good local stuff. Pitches are mostly level & treed. Occasional road noise & busy periods are noted, but most reckon it's a brilliant place, keen to come back.

Zoe N.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Stayed 3 nights. Pretty site, easily accessible and close to local amenities - would definately book again.

Very clean, tidy. Kitchenette, washroom, toilets and shower were simple and well kept and smelt clean and ventilated and aired.

Honesty shop was well stocked and reasonably priced. The farm shop 2 minutes drive was also really well stocked with local produce so no need to supermarket shop 👍

Sheltered by pretty poplar windbreaks the site is open and relaxed with pitches you can set up responsibly, but as you please. It was really windy one night but the trees did their job.

Bonus fire pits to hire if you don’t have your own and handy bricks if you do! It

Hosts were lovely, and I paired the visit with a pottery class but worth booking ahead to avoid disappointment as very popular.

One shower seemed limited but site was busy with camper vans as well as tents so if you’re staying more than one night and need a shower plenty of opportunities so don’t be put off. Probably the best shower I’ve used on a small site!

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Such a lovely campsite. Incredibly well maintained and designed. The honest shop is a great idea with lots of fresh produce like eggs from their hens and homemade bakes. The owner is also really friendly and thoughtful, offering us a spot that was more accommodating for our doggy.

Disliked Nothing to dislike, other than I wish we could have stayed longer.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Friendly welcome from our hosts, who couldn't have been more helpful, even giving a lift to the party we were attending in East Hendred.

Excellent fresh and clean facilities - the tea/coffee making facilities being particularly appreciated.

Level pitches, lots of trees, the call of green woodpeckers.

Local attractions

Bring your bikes or boots – it’s about 3.5 miles to the Ridgeway, an ancient track that takes you towards the White Horse at Uffington, and you can pick up the similarly ancient Icknield Way close by too (pick it up a mile away in East Hendred for a good bike ride into Wantage on a recently resurfaced path). There are lots more trails to follow too, but if you’d like something different from your rural experience, perhaps take the kids to Millets Farm Centre (15 minutes’ drive) to meet cute animals, hire a boat in Abingdon (20 minutes) to pootle along the Thames or climb high into the trees at High Ropes Oxford (20 minutes). For other days out, the Didcot Railway Centre (15 minutes) is often a hit with train enthusiasts of all ages, and a trip into Oxford (half an hour) to see the historic colleges and try your hand at punting is a great choice too.
