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.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
I would stay again, despite the toilets.
Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked Lovely setting, quirky features, friendly staff, the atmosphere was great with everyone on the site.
Great food, enjoyed a meal on arrival & a great breakfast.
Good little farm shop on site.
Disliked Only 2 toilets open, the rest were padlocked as it was end of season & they were full, one of the toilets had no door & the other didn’t have toilet paper & no flush, I don’t mind festival toilets but if they’re available please keep them serviced.

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

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked The view, the laid back vibe, nice greeting from the staff, lovely walk along the canal to the pub. You should expect simple facilities. The shop looked nice but we didn't need anything this time. The bar area and fire pit was a lovely touch.

Liked Is a good sized field with plenty of space to suit.
Clean and tidy
People running the site were helpful and pleasant.
The small shop is a nice touch
Was very little traffic noise

Disliked Not a "dislike" more a suggestion : a simple kayak or a paddleboard launch platform near water level would be nice.

Quiet, scenic location on the banks of the Oxford Canal
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked This is a quiet, adult only site with views of the Oxford countryside. Located on the banks of the Oxford canal, there is a pub about 30 minutes walk down the tow path, which the gentleman on reception kindly informed us about on arrival. The site has a small local shop and basic toilet facilities.
