What customers say
This is a quiet, scenic campsite with beautiful views and excellent transport links to Oxford. Visitors praise the friendly and helpful staff, particularly site manager Peter. Facilities are generally described as clean, though some reviews mention they are basic or cramped. Improvements to hot water and toilet cleaning have been noted by some visitors since early 2024. Some find the site expensive for the facilities provided.

Star geodesic dome
Liked La location del Dome e i bagni privati. A disposizione c’erano anche grill e friggitrice ad aria ma un po’ sporchi per essere utilizzati.
Disliked Viste le altissime temperature e il fatto che il Dome non fosse provvisto di aria condizionata o condizionatore portatile (ma solo un piccolo ventilatore) abbiamo dovuto stare la maggior parti fuori dal Dome in attesa che le temperature scendessero per poter entrare a dormire. Il frigorifero é molto piccolo e non ci sta praticamente niente. La doccia era bollente, era impossibile lavarsi. Sono quando abbiamo spento il boiler siamo riusciti a fare una doccia fredda! In generale ho trovato molto sporco, residui di ospiti prima di noi (medicine e un tappo di spumante sotto il letto) stoviglie appiccicose … insomma il posto é bello ma la pulizia lascia a desiderare.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Amazing views, great pitches, facilities great. Even though pay extra for electric; using the electricity app is easy and only pay for what you use. We were surprised how little you use charging phone and running camping fridge.

Beautiful site even if expensive. Minimise your elec input
Electric optional grass touring pitch
Liked Great location on a hill with views and close to Oxford with good bus link. Lovely facilities and clean. Great warden host.
Disliked Quite an expensive site with, in my opinion, added and unnecessary electric add ons which is by an app, that when we tried, failed first time but successful on the secondary attempt. However, the first failed attempt deducted the money, so we had £10 credit and only used a quids worth in 2 days!!!!
