  • 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.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Was met by a welcoming member of staff on arrival, she told us as it’s a quiet evening we can park up anywhere. She offered some food recommendations however we brought our own food.

Very relaxing atmosphere, well kept, tidy, facilities were clean and stocked up.

We were allowed to park up and pitch next to our car, however I believe when it’s busier you have to unload and leave your car in the place next door. It wouldn’t have been an issue at all, but glad we could park up.

Only stayed one night, however it was very pleasant. Would visit again.

Disliked As nice as it was, £27 was a little expensive, given how simple the site is. Still enjoyed the stay nonetheless!

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked The location is good for exploring the local history, the toilets and showers were kept clean and well stocked with toilet rolls and sanitising wipes, there are plenty of pitch choices.

Disliked As others have mentioned, the perimeter hedge is very high and obscures the surrounding landscape, but this is problematic due to the fact that the site is surrounded by farmland and there was a lot of tractor activity while we were there.
Whilst not a fault of the site, our stay was spoiled slightly by a group of six men that arrived at 2:30am on the Monday, they were very loud and left the washing up sink in a terrible mess!

Liked Lovely friendly welcome. Bijou toilet/ shower/ wash up block: Clean and tidy inside.
A view of the White Horse from the entrance.

Disliked The old caravan in the corner would benefit from a clean. It would be more in keeping with the rest of the site then.

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.
