What customers say
This is a basic, quiet campsite conveniently located on the edge of Charlbury, close to shops and good walks. Guests appreciate the peaceful atmosphere, the freedom to pitch where they like, and the lovely views. Facilities are minimal, including a portaloo and an open-air shower. Some guests found the shower lacked privacy and the site felt overlooked by houses. The manager acknowledges feedback regarding the shower privacy and water quality, and aims to make descriptions clearer.

From the manager: Thanks so much Natasha 😊
Good location for local amenities but extremely expensive.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (wild)
Liked The location: only a few minutes walk into Charlbury for shops and pubs etc, but also country footpaths within a few minutes too.
Very small and quiet, nice views of the countryside and the night sky.
Disliked The cost!!! Extortionate for a pitch in a field with one cold tap and a portaloo which didn't function properly because it wasn't level (and as a result was pretty disgusting).

Good for a wild camping feel, with only a tap and porter loo!

Peaceful, pretty, basic campsite
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (wild)
Liked Convenient spot on the edge of Charlbury, close to good walks, peaceful site.
Disliked A bit basic but we knew what to expect (improvements could be more than 1 toilet for example, or separate water and shower taps/areas)

Liked Right in the heart of Charbury and yet lovely and quiet. Basic site but ideal for what we wanted

Just nice, nothing special, but perfect if you're just passing by.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (wild)
Liked It's quiet as it is just a field, with a shower in the open air, some running water and a dixie. Easy to find and get in.
Disliked It's just a field, and that was what we expected, so nothing really to dislike.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (wild)
Liked campsite was within walking distance of local supermarket yet still quiet and rural setting
you were free to pitch up where you liked
Disliked unsupervised so campers rocked up at 1am and played music until 3 am
the mobile chemical toilet flushing mechanism was not working ( I will leave the reader to fill in the blanks there}
The solar powered shower was above the water tap in the open so you had to shower in the open in full view and while you were advised to bring a costume for this purpose showering with or without clothes is too intimate a proceedure to do in full view of everyone I have been on other campsites with solar powered showers but they had a screen.

The view was lovely if you…
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (wild)
Liked The view was lovely if you pitch your tent facing away from the houses.
Close to the village, walking distance to the shop.
Good directions how to find the field and information on local walks.
If you like a minimalist site this is for you, we found it amazing as it’s something we love.
Not many people there due to this which made it peaceful.
Disliked Just the houses that are right beside the field but if you look non of them really have windows on that side of the house so not a massive issue.

From the manager: Thank-you for visiting Nikita - and for the feedback :)
