What customers say
This quirky, adult-only campsite offers a peaceful canalside location with spacious pitches. Guests praised the friendly staff, on-site shop, bar, and food options, including a popular breakfast. Features like fire pits and live music contributed to a relaxed atmosphere. However, facilities are basic, with portaloos being a common point of concern for cleanliness and smell. Some visitors also noted road noise and found the site overpriced or pitches uneven. The pigs are a significant draw for many.

Nice little one night stay with my wife
Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked Lovely location for walking up and down the Oxford canal. There’s a little bar, food truck and small farm shop on site which is as a nice touch. Toilets were clean and sound. No showers and the running water was slow as it’s from a borehole, but didn’t bother us at all.
Disliked Probably only thing was no showers but we knew that before hand so didn’t bother us really but would probably be a nice touch

Beautiful location. I was hesitant after…
Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked Beautiful location. I was hesitant after booking and then realising that there was no pigs on site anymore & some reviews said that nothing was open either. But….when arrived we greeted by a lovely young man in the reception shop, who showed us where everything was & what we needed to know. Lovely variety of things to buy in there from your essentials to drinks and meats. Also the Outside bar was open with seating looking over the canal. With this being an adults only site it was very peaceful, just what was needed for an overnight escape. Pretty grounds and a lovely canal walk close by
Disliked The only thing that put me off coming back here was the toilet situation.
These are unisex portaloos.
would be much better if they divided it
Recommend to friends Visit again
Quiet site, lovely surroundings, rubbish portaloos
Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked Relaxed and laid back. Great that it’s a no kids site after 6pm.
Disliked The toilets are crap to pardon the pun. Would be so much better if there was a proper toilet block

Non-electric grass tent pitch (medium)
Liked It’s a decent place, nice shop and friendly staff. We was greeted and shown around and felt at home. Loved the bar they have and the pig sty/ stable area. There was a little band playing pirate music! Great surprise
Disliked Toilets are portaloo’s and were full! The smell was horrendous. Unsure when they get emptied as we stayed one night
Recommend to friends Visit again
