  • Family campsite with great views in the Vale of the White Horse
  • A half-hour drive to the Cotswolds or central Oxford
  • Communal firepits with seating on site; firewood for sale
You’ll be in for a real rural experience when you stay at Oxford Oak Camping – this simple family-oriented site is just behind Farmer Gow’s farm park and shop in the Oxfordshire countryside. Back at base, pitches are pleasingly spacious, flat and surrounded by hedgerows for a bit of shelter. Simple facilities are provided in the form of toilets and showers, and campfires are heartily encouraged by the provision of communal firepits with seating around them. Firewood can be purchased on site to help such evenings along. With splendid views of the Ridgway and the Uffington White Horse there’s no mistaking the fact that you’re really out in the countryside here – but that doesn’t mean you’ll be cut off at all. There’s a pub about half a mile away in the village of Fernham, and it’s very easy to get to the A420 (the main Oxford-Swindon road) close by for your days out in the likes of the Cotswolds, Oxford and the North Wessex Downs.

Liked A very peaceful spot behind a farm. A good sized field for privacy and space.

Disliked Not a “dislike” but would have loved the farm shop to include a few more fresh fruit or veg or baked goods for the morning!

Liked Really friendly host, lovely clean facilties.
Plots were easily marked, and camped together as a group which was lovely.

Disliked CmNothing to dislike, a nice additon would be a shaded area, like communal picnic benchs with sale/shade as was very exposed to sun.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked What a fantastic little site I found and so close to home.
A lovely ladies called Sylvia runs the site, she shows you to your pitch on arrival, tells you where the facility’s are.
The showers were spotless and super hot, same as the toilets, there’s washing up facilities too, which were spotless.
Will be going back again when I need a night away. Peaceful too. Top site.

I’ve seen some negative comments saying there’s no shops. When we all go camping we go prepared with food and drink, the little village of shrivenham is 3 miles up the road or Faringdon which is 3 miles away too with big supermarkets should you need them.

Disliked Nothing to dislike about a fantastic site.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Booked during the week so it was lovely and quiet. Just what I needed to escape the hustle and bustle of life.

Great facilities with a lovely warm shower. Perfect. There was also facilities to clean my plate & pan with a tea towel which was extremely useful, as I’d left mine at home. Toilets were very clean.

Farm shop located on site with yummy lamb & mint burgers, if that’s your thing.

Disliked Nothing to report.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Small, secluded quiet campsite, that felt safe - especially as it is lined with a tall hedgerow. The glamping yurts looked incredible!! Communal campsite fire pit - although no one used it during our stay. Pub a 2 minute drive down the road is incredible.

Disliked No essentials shop - there is a farm shop on site, but seemed more like a tourist giftshop than farm shop.

Had to visit the farm shop on arrival as there are signposts to "reception" but there is no campsite reception. As booked on pitchup, didn't receive "check in" information from campsite before hand (this was indicated by the lady in the farmshop), so didn't know to call on arrival - and had to go hunting for contact info!! Once I did phone to check in, was told she would be there soon but never saw her!

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Small quiet campsite, fantastic powerful hot showers, not a queue, provided hand towels and washing up liquid etc

Disliked There isn’t a shop for essentials -e.g. toiletries. In which case complimentary feminine hygiene products in the loos or honesty box for eggs and bread would have been really appreciated. Electric just added so bit muddy where the cables have been added.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Small site behind farm. Very basic - field with 3/4 yurts and 3/4 camper van pitches with electricity. Water available a short walk away along with basic toilet and shower facilities. No frills at all but our last stop before home so it didn't bother us at all. Very nice and quiet. Lovely friendly host .

Disliked Basic toilet and shower facilities which were all unisex. Two toilets one of which didn't lock properly. Two showers round the other side which were both in one room, just a shower curtain separating you from anyone else coming to use the other shower. All very clean though.

Could be perfect peaceful site with no traffic noise, if Yurts moved.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked The field is excellent, hedges providing shelter from wind, good views and flat pitches. The facilities are clean and showers worked well. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Delightful site and would have been perfect for our needs.
Unfortunately, the Yurts had been rented to a large group of Dad’s with kids. The kids were not a problem. The Dad’s however were up very late drinking and getting louder and louder as they shouted across the fire pit. This may have been just bad luck for us, but fire pit set-up encourages large groups and distance across encourages shouting rather than normal talking volumes.
Would be perfect if Yurts were relocated to another field on farm. This could be a really peaceful site, with no traffic noise.

Disliked Yurt fire pit set-up encouraging large groups and shouting rather than normal talking volumes.

Local attractions

This is some splendid countryside, so come along prepped for walks or bike rides, either in the immediate surroundings or a little further afield in the North Wessex Downs (10 minutes’ drive) and Cotswolds (half an hour) Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. If you’re not sure where to start, the Uffington White Horse (10 minutes) and the area around Burford (half an hour) are good bets. You may spot some native wildlife as you roam, but for something more exotic you’ll need to head to the Cotswold Wildlife Park & Garden (half an hour) or to meet the snappy residents of Crocodiles of the World (25 minutes). It’s certainly not safe to get in the water there, but it is at Cotswold Water Park (35 minutes), which has a whole host of watersports as well as a beach area and fishing. For a bit of history and culture, you can’t beat a day out in Oxford (half an hour), punting along the river, touring the college quads and visiting the Ashmolean Museum. There are lots of scenic villages and towns to see up in the Cotswolds too – places like Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold (both 50 minutes) may be some of the prettiest places to see in the whole land.
