  • Family-run Oxfordshire site at a smallholding with art studios
  • Didcot and Wantage 10 minutes' drive; half an hour to Oxford
  • On the edge of the North Wessex Downs, with great walks nearby
Off to Oxfordshire for fresh air, bike rides, rural walks and… a bit of pottery? Muster Point Campsite is part of a family-run three-acre smallholding that’s also home to an arts studio running pottery classes and art workshops. That makes this a particularly handy place to stay if you’re signing up for one of the courses or workshops at Oxfordshire Arts – but you don’t have to be arty in the slightest to appreciate a stay here. It’s also an excellent location for those seeking out walks and bike rides – it’s just on the edge of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape and both the Icknield Way and Ridgeway are close by for long-distance outings or shorter stints. Equally easy are outings to Oxford, which is about half an hour away by car (and best approached by using one of the Park & Ride services). Closer by are Wantage (the birthplace of King Alfred the Great) and Didcot (home of the Didcot Railway Centre) – both are about 10 minutes’ drive away and have a good collection of shops and places to eat, with an open-air market in Wantage too. Or maybe you’re after a country pub? There are plenty of those around too – you can walk or bike to Steventon or get in the car for Hendreds, Ardington and Letcombe Regis. Or perhaps an alfresco meal back on site? You’ll be allowed to bring a barbecue along, and there’s a great farm shop less than a mile away for fresh produce (and pick-your-own fruit in summer). Facilities in the camping paddock stretch to a kitchenette, a washing-up area and a purpose-built toilet block with a shower and two toilets.

What customers say

This is a small, clean, and well-maintained campsite with friendly and helpful owners. Guests appreciate the eco-friendly feel, level pitches, and excellent facilities including a kitchenette with a fridge and microwave. The honesty shop is a popular addition, offering local produce and treats. While some mention potential road noise, particularly at busy times, and the limited number of showers, the overall experience is highly positive, with many visitors recommending the site and planning to return.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Honesty Shop and Clean Toilets

Disliked Pitches are far too small. Just about enough space for our tents, barely enough space to sit outside of the tent. Not enough toilets/showers when the site is full.
If the pitches were made bigger it would be great, as it wouldn't feel overcrowded and there would be enough toilets.

The owner/site managers customers service was very poor and had a significant negative impact on the experience

Eve R. 1 review

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked I chose this campsite for a bikepacking overnighted, primarily because it had a shower that didn’t look like a portaloo! But actually it had so much more going for it that made it ideal as my campspot. The honesty shop had loads of really convenient and really fairly priced treats. After a long, 28 degree day in the saddle, to be able to grab a cold can of sprite from the fridge was a refreshing treat. But actually the coffee machine and hot water meant I didn’t need to set up my stove just to make hot water, which would have been such a faff. I’m so pleased a landed on this campsite and I would definitely come back and recommend to friends!

Liked Spacious grass pitch's, ground fairly level.
Showers and facilities were limited, but very clean and well presented.

Disliked Limited shower and toilets would be an issue, if the site was busy .
For us it was fine as only a hand full of Campers on site.

Local attractions

Bring your bikes or boots – it’s about 3.5 miles to the Ridgeway, an ancient track that takes you towards the White Horse at Uffington, and you can pick up the similarly ancient Icknield Way close by too (pick it up a mile away in East Hendred for a good bike ride into Wantage on a recently resurfaced path). There are lots more trails to follow too, but if you’d like something different from your rural experience, perhaps take the kids to Millets Farm Centre (15 minutes’ drive) to meet cute animals, hire a boat in Abingdon (20 minutes) to pootle along the Thames or climb high into the trees at High Ropes Oxford (20 minutes). For other days out, the Didcot Railway Centre (15 minutes) is often a hit with train enthusiasts of all ages, and a trip into Oxford (half an hour) to see the historic colleges and try your hand at punting is a great choice too.
