Electric optional grass pitch
Liked: Beautiful site with gorgeous views over parts of Oxford and shotover woods on the door step. The kids absolutely loved the fire pit and we had a big bbq as a group. Really enjoyed our stay.
Disliked: Facilities were clean when we arrived but not cleaned during our stay which would have definitely enhanced the experience with 60 plus people in our party alone.

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked: Fabulous site with stunning views. No marked out regimented pitches, just electric hook up points very well spaced out on a huge gorgeous open field which we loved. Very relaxed and friendly vibe. Ample showers and toilets. Great pub serving authentic Thai food a good 25 minute walk away. Bus to Oxford 15 min walk away -runs every hour so spent a great day there. Owner very friendly and helpful. One of best sites we have ever stayed on-can’t recommend enough.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: the view from the field was lovely. loved the red kites flying over. peaceful place
Disliked: portaloos and showers - they might be 'posher' versions, but they were not what we expected. This wasn't the cheapest place to camp and these were a shock. One of the toilet/shower units was quite a step up but instead of a step, there was only a little infant's plastic step, which is not designed for constant adult use. Though these were usually clean, once one was blocked and the bin over-flowing. Very unpleasant in such a small space. The field was almost all sloping. groups of campers carried on making noise past 11pm. On our second night a group was still making noise at 2am. The use of drones over the campsite The lack of information about where anything was - drinking water, chemical disposal, firepit disposal etc the unmetalled access road was very pitted and uneven
