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.

Liked Friendly relaxed campsite. Lovely to have farm shop, bar and food van available. Great spot next to the canal.

Disliked Please get a toilet block. The portaloos are the only thing that lets this place down.

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

A nice campsite, quite flat and not too busy during the week.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Being near the canal for walks
Liked the enclosed dog exercise area.
The brief encounter i had with staff, the lady was friendly and helpful
Grey waste area was clean

Disliked No animals (the very reason I came back, I have to admit I did not read the updated description of the campsite)
Ground very uneven in places
Train noises, seemed to quieten through the night
Cafe not open
Bar not open
Limited ‘farm’ shop, unsure when it was open
Place is looking tired
Campsite computer system was not working, so I was not expected. Thankfully I had proof of my booking and all was well.

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

Quiet site, lovely surroundings, rubbish portaloos

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

Local attractions

The Oxford Canal is one of the oldest mainline canals in England and has walkies all along its 77-mile towpath, passing some of the most scenic spots and villages in Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire and Warwickshire. It’s mostly easy hoofing along the whole route with few hills: carve a slice into a day trip or afternoon amble. Pack a picnic (of bacon sarnies) and go to Banbury four miles away to tackle the modernised towpath walk from Banbury to Cropredy via the newly added glass bridge, waterworks gallery and museum spanning the canal along the way. A day at dramatic Stratford-upon-Avon should be on the cards in any holiday too.
