Přeložit (Překlad pomocí Google Translate)Líbí se: Much better than expected, Has a shop, food van and bar, area for dogs and canal towpaths are just a short walk out of main entrance which has a dog friendly pub about 20 mins walk away
Nelíbí se: Some of the reviews, yes they're portaloos but they were clean and fairly new, think some of the reviewers should stick to caravan club sites

Přeložit (Překlad pomocí Google Translate)Líbí se: Nice welcome
Lovely canal walk along to the local pub
Food available and a small shopNelíbí se: We knew this at the time of booking but the toilet situation isn’t great. Luckily we were self contained as I wouldn’t have used them. They were like being at a festival really not great at all.
No pigs at all to watch and look at
During 2025 we have had a few comments about our toilets and requests for a toilet block. The Pig Place is not on mains water and never will be, we have our own water source from a borehole. The water goes through three filters and is tested annually to ensure that it is safe to drink straight from the tap – it is.
Borehole supply means that we are unable to offer either showers or a permanent toilet block. We have 7 portable toilets (on of which is set up as a urinal to prevent queues at busy times). They are cleaned regularly – usually by me. They have signage asking users to be considerate to other campers and ‘leave no trace’ of their visit and toilet brushes are installed in each cubicle to make this possible – however not every user adheres to this request.
I am sure everyone can appreciate that it is impossible for us to monitor every toilet after every user has left.
I’m open to suggestions as to how we can ensure the toilets can be left how people would wish them to be.
This has been by far the worst year of comments regarding our toilets – we have been using this system for over 12 years.
The provision of the facility is to open up camping @ The Pig Place to those who do not have their own facilities – however it would appear that the majority of comments are from campers who do have their own! Might I suggest that they use them as we have a toilet emptying point by the main gate for use on departure!
Friendly relaxed campsite. Lovely to have …

Přeložit (Překlad pomocí Google Translate)Líbí se: Friendly relaxed campsite. Lovely to have farm shop, bar and food van available. Great spot next to the canal.
Nelíbí se: Please get a toilet block. The portaloos are the only thing that lets this place down.
Glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to welcome you again soon.
Please see above response regarding addition of a toilet block.

Unbelievable full English breakfast from the onsite food vendor.
Good welcome with quick show around where things are!Nelíbí se: Uneven ground.
No showers but aware there was none.
We went for supposed fishing but no swims to fish.
Awkward fishing between moored barges.
Not ideal.
If want fishing go elsewhere.
Otherwise ideal good value friendly place
Nice little one night stay with my wife

Přeložit (Překlad pomocí Google Translate)Líbí se: Lovely location for walking up and down the Oxford canal. There’s a little bar, food truck and small farm shop on site which is as a nice touch. Toilets were clean and sound. No showers and the running water was slow as it’s from a borehole, but didn’t bother us at all.
Nelíbí se: Probably only thing was no showers but we knew that before hand so didn’t bother us really but would probably be a nice touch
Everything about this campsite is great. …

Přeložit (Překlad pomocí Google Translate)Líbí se: Being near the canal for walks
Liked the enclosed dog exercise area.
The brief encounter i had with staff, the lady was friendly and helpful
Grey waste area was cleanNelíbí se: No animals (the very reason I came back, I have to admit I did not read the updated description of the campsite)
Ground very uneven in places
Train noises, seemed to quieten through the night
Cafe not open
Bar not open
Limited ‘farm’ shop, unsure when it was open
Place is looking tired
Campsite computer system was not working, so I was not expected. Thankfully I had proof of my booking and all was well.

Přeložit (Překlad pomocí Google Translate)Líbí se: Good points: location, price, cafe, peaceful, clean, friendly
Nelíbí se: No showers
Extra £5 for car parking
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We are unable to have showers as we are not on mains water here.
You were charged an additional £5 because you booked a back packer/motorcyclist/canoe pitch that does not have a car allocation as the price is only £10 per night. You arrived in a car and we upgraded your pitch to one with a car allocation.
Glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you again soon :@)
Thank you :@)
