  • Secluded riverside site 20 minutes' drive from Oxford
  • Wild camping, wild swimming and kayaking
  • Cooking facilities, campfire area and farm shop on site
Wild swimming in Oxfordshire… what a clever notion. D'Oyleys Farm is an excellent option if you’re visiting Oxford and want a bit of adventure along the way: this laidback place has a riverside setting, a wild camping vibe and the means for outdoor cooking and picnics at its lush little island. The farm is in a secluded setting by the Thames, with pitch numbers carefully managed so that guests have loads of room and plenty of peace. There are four access points where you can plunge into the river for a spot of wild swimming – it's a little muddy in places (getting in and out is all about the sit and slide…) but it's fab for cooling off. A highlight of the site is the little island, where the D'Oyleys Farm team has set up the ‘BBQ shack' with cooking facilities, woodburning stove, deck space and a campfire area, where you can sizzle up supper on the woodfired cooking stove. And another, also excellent, highlight? D'Oyleys is home to a farm shop and prepares breakfast packs (bacon, sausages and eggs) and barbecue packs (lamb chops, chicken drumsticks, steaks and burgers) for guests, all home-produced and all easily sorted by ordering before you arrive – use the details in your booking confirmation email. When (if) you crave a bit of city life, Oxford is half an hour away by bus via the service running from the village 15 minutes’ stroll away, or about 20 minutes by car. The farm is four miles from Junction 7 of the M40, so it’s easy to get out and about from here by car too. The local pub (dog- and welly-friendly) is 15 minutes' walk away.

What customers say

This peaceful, spacious campsite offers a back-to-nature experience close to Oxford. Guests loved the generous pitch sizes, providing privacy, and the beautiful riverside location with opportunities for swimming and relaxing. The welcoming and helpful hosts, along with the farm dogs, were frequently praised. While facilities are basic, they are generally well-maintained and functional. Some visitors mentioned the walk to facilities and the self-emptying compost loos as minor drawbacks, but overwhelmingly recommend the site for its tranquility and connection with nature.

Freedom non-electric grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We really enjoyed D‘Oyleys Farm, because of the space, swimming in the river, and fire making possibly. Showers were wonderful!

Disliked Toilets! Too far from the pitch and too festival-like.

Freedom non-electric grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The setting of this campsite is nice and this is the second time we have stayed here. The children enjoy being able to run free and play by the water. The campsite is not crowded and you definitely have your own large pitch. The showers are also lovely and hot!

Disliked The owner is responsive to messages and comes across nicely via message however I have had a different vibe when meeting in person on both occasions. Some of the grass on the pitches are really spiky, so something to consider if you have blow up beds! No bins on site or at reception meaning you have to take it with you, which is not ideal when you have a dog to clear up after!

Eco non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked We liked the spacious pitches, the beautiful views, the red kites, an own eco toilet, the nice hot showers, the friendly owner and the dogs, the farm shop. Such a clever concept, wild camping but somehow it felt luxurious. Everything was so well thought out. Big compliments for the owners!

Freedom non-electric grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We loved the setting, the simplicity and ease of checking in and out of this campsite. The owner was friendly and helpful. The access to open water swimming was fab. Everything was clean and tidy.

Disliked Depending on where you are located, there can be quite a long walk to the toilets and showers and water tap.

Local attractions

Oxford might be your first stop: take the 20-minute drive or 30-minute bus ride to the city centre for wanders around the university buildings and museums, potters around the market, and, for Tolkien fans, a reverent pint in his fave pub The Eagle and Child. The farm is between the Cotswolds and Chiltern Hills National Landscapes for hikes and scenic strolls in either direction; wanderers could also venture off to Stratford-upon-Avon (an hour and five minutes' drive) for book-themed activities or Royal Leamington Spa (an hour and five minutes). Staying close to home, a footpath leads directly from the site to local villages. There are a few National Trust sites around too, like Watlington Hill (20 minutes), Greys Court (35 minutes) and Nuffield Place (20 minutes), which are all in the Chiltern Hills National Landscape.
