Thames Meadow Camping

Pedigree herd of ruby red cattle grazing in the neighbouring fields

Back to basics grass pitches half a mile from the Thames Path
A 20-minute drive from Witney and 25 minutes from the Cotswolds
Working farm within walking distance of three pubs; campfires welcome

Stunning sunsets, campfires, wildlife spotting and strolls along the Thames: the list of what to expect at Thames Meadow Camping sounds sweeter and sweeter the more you hear. The peaceful, back to basics grass pitches are on a working farm just half a mile from the Thames Path, and they’re also within walking distance of three pubs (and many more if you want a good stomp – there are plenty of circular walks from the site that swing by the pub). Fires are a hot topic at Thames Meadow Camping too… you'll be able to light a blaze in brick surrounds, with views of the sheep, Red Ruby cattle and chickens grazing in the neighbouring fields. Campfire packs (including logs, kindling, newspaper and firelighters) are available to purchase on site. There are basic provisions up for grabs from the site’s 'honesty shed', which on most days stocks eggs from the site’s chickens, meat from their grass-fed cattle and sheep, local honey, preserves, sausages and bacon. Ice packs can be frozen in the shared freezer. Come prepared for well-maintained but back to basics facilities, including composting toilets and a cold-water washing-up station. There’s no electricity, so bring along your torches. It’s exactly the set-up you’ll need and want for days visiting local family-friendly attractions or marching over Cotswolds trails (from 25 minutes’ drive). The market town of Witney, with a brewery and lovely riverside, is 20 minutes’ drive away and Oxford is half an hour's drive away. And if you’re of an active disposition, launch a canoe or paddleboard directly onto the Thames just half a mile from the site. For your grocery shops, there’s a village shop within two miles, a slightly larger shop within four miles and supermarkets from 20 minutes’ drive. Well behaved, vaccinated dogs are very welcome when kept on a lead at all times. A dog walking paddock is available 200 metres away, available to book at an extra charge.

Local attractions

Full steam for activities on the water… in Newbridge (25 minutes’ walk), hire electric or pedal punts or a paddleboard. Anglers can get their fix within 10 minutes’ drive of the site. Hardwick Watersports (10 minutes’ drive) has the most elaborate list of options, including the likes of kayaking, waterskiing and wakeboarding. Canoeing expeditions can be organised for you straight from the campsite – just ask the owner for info. If you’re craving yet more active activities, head to the tennis club (half an hour’s walk), horse-riding centre (five minutes’ drive), golf courses (from 15 minutes) or nature reserves (15 minutes). Oxford (half an hour) calling? No wonder, with its punting activities, museums, castle and prison, open-top buses and shops. The Cotswolds (from 25 minutes’ drive) is yet another spot that’s hard to ignore, and the main question is where to go first: farm shops, a garden centre in nearby Burford (25 minutes), a Roman. Villa, model village or Stow-on-the-Wold (40 minutes)?
