  • 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

The Old Dairy Farm is a popular, family-friendly campsite with a relaxed atmosphere. Visitors praise the spacious pitches, clean facilities, and the abundance of child-friendly activities including a playground, bouncy castles, and animal enclosures with goats. The on-site shop and food options are considered good value. While most guests enjoy the location and friendly staff, some mention train noise and the need for facility upgrades. The site's informal approach to pitching is popular with groups.

16-amp electric grass pitch

Liked Really lovely site. Friendly, helpful staff. Lovely family feel. Was busy but still felt spacious. Easy, scenic walk along the canal into the village - 2 nice pubs. Shop has all the basics. Didn’t eat from the kitchen but could see it was really popular! Very good prices at the bar 👍🏻 Overall a well situated site 👌🏻

Disliked Shower and toilet facilities really could do with a facelift. Nowhere to put your things in the shower - could do with a shelf or hooks that are actually properly attached to the door 🙈 The shower I used had to be hand held as the riser rail was not working properly. Another shower didn’t work at all. The toilet bins need to be bigger (or emptied more regularly) Didn’t mind the rustic feel, but was a little grubby. The mat at the entrance to the toilets has definitely seen better days. Wouldn’t stop me coming again, but not able to give 10 stars…

6-amp electric grass pitch

Liked Everything about this site exceeded our expectations. The people that run this site are so helpful and the staff are a credit to you. There are also two lovely pubs in the village about 20 min walk, but you could easily stay on site. The food and drink are great value. Its lovely to come across a site where you don't feel like your paying through the nose. Clean facilities

Disliked Nothing

16-amp electric grass pitch

Liked At the weekend there was a bar and kitchen open and the shop. It was buzzing excellent place for families

Disliked On the Sunday when all the campers had left the facilities were filthy and were not cleaned until Monday morning. I accept that the bar and kitchen is not open during the week but the shop was also closed and with no shop in the village this was a problem

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: The site is cleaned on the Sunday. And there is a sign on the shop door with our contact number if the shop is needed. Would be a huge waste of money to pay someone to sit there with no one on site.

So a very inaccurate review, did I upset you? Hence reviewing anonymously.

Definitely use again

10-amp electric grass pitch

Liked Allocated pitches for ehu. Bar and undercover seating area. Plenty of seating, could do with more shade by outside tables. didn't try the food ,good choice of menu. Toilets clean even after a busy Saturday night. Staff very friendly.

Disliked Toilets need/ shower and washing up areas need a revamp to keep up with the look

Liked Friendly people, very laid back, clean facilities with hot showers. It was a busy weekend but didn't feel over crowded at all. Good play area for the kids and generous pitch sizes for us to set up camp.

Disliked Nothing to dislike

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).
