What customers say
This is a friendly, relaxed, adults-only campsite with a chilled vibe, situated on the Oxford canal. Visitors praise the picturesque location, canal walks, and on-site bar and food van. Live music and quirky features are highlights. While many appreciate the well-maintained grounds and helpful staff, the portable toilets are a recurring point of dissatisfaction. Some note uneven pitches and occasional M40/train noise. The absence of pigs has been noted by some returning visitors.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (medium)
Liked Everything! We had a brilliant couple of nights in tents. The whole place is really well organised and signposted, but with a very chilled vibe. Everyone very friendly, both staff and visitors. LOVED the live music (on both days) and a good boogie too! Paddleboarding on the river to a great pub. Cannot fault it, will def come back.
Disliked Nothing really ... we knew about the loos beforehand, not really a problem. Just wonder if you could possibly do compost loos ....?

Anonymous Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked An informal park with a shilled out vibe. Nice bar and great entertainment on offer. A bit tricky to find a flatish spot but otherwise very good all round. Also good as only an hour or so from the Hartlington Indie Camper depot.

Friendly and welcoming site, great location on the canal.

Liked Very friendly staff. The shop, bar and food were all open. Pretty location on the canal, choose your own pitch, pitches slightly slanted but wasn’t an issue for me.
I did not use the facilities but they looked quite basic.

Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked Much better than expected, Has a shop, food van and bar, area for dogs and canal towpaths are just a short walk out of main entrance which has a dog friendly pub about 20 mins walk away
Disliked Some of the reviews, yes they're portaloos but they were clean and fairly new, think some of the reviewers should stick to caravan club sites
