  • 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

A family-friendly campsite with spacious pitches and clean facilities, praised for its friendly staff and numerous child-friendly attractions including animals and a play area. Guests enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and convenient location. While most visitors had a positive experience, some noted that facilities could benefit from updates, and proximity to a train line may be a consideration for light sleepers. The site offers good value, making it a recommended choice for families.

10-amp electric grass pitch

Liked Easy check in , good size pitches, close to lovely village and pubs

Disliked Very tired looking facilities. Not enough bins, overall despite potential the place felt neglected and tired. Needs investment and enthusiasm to return it to it's potential.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Certainly not neglected or tired, we are constantly upgrading and have done since we opened a few years ago.
Maybe the look was due to your stay being during a thunder storm?
Please read majority contradictory reviews.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Relatively easy to find - but could do with a signpost on the main road.

Disliked Contradictory information in texts and e mails received - both of which came far too late. No facilities at all open on campsite late afternoon or early morning. No one in reception to guide to pitch or to clarify contradictory information. Very noisy - trains, livestock,other tents. Just felt very unsupervised, almost like wild camping, but for a price. Also, no food facilities at all in the village. All in all, a dreadfully disappointing stay.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: You were here during the week, with 3 other campers on site. Unfortunately these numbers are not worth running a bar/kitchen etc, it would create a huge loss. Shop is open on request 8-3pm.
Obviously not a regular camper if you expected different.
There is always someone onsite, and our number is clearly displayed.
A very harsh review from someone who obviously was expecting room service at this campsite.

Great campsite, brilliant facilities and lots…

10-amp electric grass pitch

Liked Absolutley great set up and everything that you need for a comfortable stay. Bar area and on-site shop for necessities, social sitting area and plenty of space for kids. The staff on-site are so friendly and helpful. The Top toilets and showers are great, clean and what you'd expect. Field toilets are a basic set up but it works and are convenient if you are at the far end of the site.

Just a lads get away this time, but are already planning to return with our families in a few weeks as the site has everything you could want from a for a camping trip.

Liked The site was well laid out, well maintained and the central facilities (bar, shop, cafe, seating area) were really helpful and looked great. The goats were adorable! We had loads of space on our two pitches and had no problems with the electrics

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).
