High Lodge Farm

Liked I liked that the pitch up field was nicely mowed, had set out organised pitches and we had the option of pitching up next to the untouched field that was adjacent to the pitch up field. There was access to very basic outdoor, yet covered hot showers, but my daughter and I opted for the cold shower to wake us up and funnily enough, there wasn’t a queue for the cold shower. I also liked the option to hire a fire pit. Very well organised campsite, looking forward to returning. Also a mini park for younger kids. Good reception on O2.

Disliked Marked out pitches were a little too close to each other meaning you could literally hear people snoring in the next pitch. Ground was especially hard and full of stones which ruined a good amount of tent pegs.

Liked It is a great campsite, with good pitch sizes. Great space for the children to play around and the view of the sunset is great too and the showers are great too, really enjoyed my outdoor shower for £1. Liked everything apart from the toilets.

Disliked Portable toilets. We left earlier than planned because toilets were not in good shape. We usually avoid portable toilets, but wanted to give it a go but this confirm to us that this option is not for us.
We usually opt for the compostable ones, and still prefer them, obviously just personal preference but here they need to check the toilets more often.

From the manager: Thank you for your fantastic review and we're delighted you enjoyed the showers. We love them! Much appreciated. We've taken onboard your feedback about the toilets and we've added additional facilities for this weekend. We've tried compost toilets in the past, and a toilet trailer and we've had complaints about both sadly.

Liked Open space, central play area for children was a bonus. space for football. enjoyed the badminton and good washing up facilities. field surrounded by woods

Disliked perhaps would benefit from more portaloos

Liked Beautiful views ~ we parked up on the far side so our tent had views of the sunset. The lovely walk that we could do with the dog was great and a fun adventure. It was a simple check in. The kind and helpful staff sorted out a querie and allowed us to add an extra car. Loved the play area which my son took full advantage of whilst I enjoyed the benches around so I could watch him from a little further away,

Disliked Toilets not great by Sunday morning (not the campsites fault) and slightly confusing as to where to pitch for a first timer (again, not the campsites fault more mine but as poles had fallen down the instruction of parking between poles was difficult to follow). The ‘road’ round the campsite could have been made clearer. No hay bales to play on sadly.

From the manager: Thank you so much for visiting and leaving a review. It's much appreciated. We are very aware of the toilet issue and we've rectified it for this weekend. Many apologies. This feedback is always so useful and allows us to improve, so thank you.

Liked Very generous pitches
Dog friendly
Large play/sports area
Hand washing facilities
Logs and fire pits well organised
Woodland walks and sunset views over Abingdon
Close to paddle boarding launch spots
Chilled but family focused vibe

Disliked Toilets - 4 portaloos for 50 family pitches. Knew on arrival (Saturday) that by checkout (Sunday) they would be absolutely disgusting and they were. Put me off the site. Either need 3 times as many portaloos (and/or daily clean out) or for goodness sake get some composting toilets made and just lock them up off season.

From the manager: Hi Elizabeth, thank you very much for visiting our campsite and for taking the time to leave a review. We're so sorry about the toilets. We thought we would try Portaloos this year because customers and repeatedly complain about the smell in our event trailer toilets, but it seems we didn't order enough. We've added more for this weekend so hopefully it won't be an issue going forward, but I'm sorry we didn't get it right for your stay.

Liked Nice general feel, all families, nice play area in the centre. Large marked pitches. Nice views and woodland setting.

Disliked Toilets in a very bad state in the morning. Porta-Loos are fine for camping at this price point but they need more for a field of this size (and it wasn’t full when we were there). By 9am Sunday morning the loos were unusable

From the manager: Thank you very much for visiting and for your kind words and 8 score. We're very aware the toilets weren't up to scratch, we've added more for the rest of the season and additional bins. Thank you for letting us know, hopefully it won't be a problem going forward and we're sorry they were not in a great state for your visit.

Liked Large pitch, could pitch near friends, large area to play

Disliked Only 4 toilets that over 1 night filled up (and were not pleasant sun morning)
Very small bins, loved the recycling options but no way big enough for the number of pitches

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We really do appreciate all feedback and it gives us time to improve and make changes. We've sorted the toilet issue now for this weekend, adding two more and more, bigger bins. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Liked We loved the outdoor showers, the space, walks around the woods, and the small children's play area.

Disliked The toilets were great when we arrived on a Friday but were blocked by Sunday morning (there aren't many toilets for the whole campsite)

Liked - Lovely picturesque site with woods behind.
- Generous pitches. Can share with friends.
- Fire pits a bargain and really sturdy.
- Great for kids. The huge area in the middle has a few things for kids to play on and so much space for games. There were loads of kids there and they all made friends.
- lovely walks nearby (about 10 mins walk on busy road and then you're riverside)
- Food deliveries come to site. Ordered 14 pizzas for our big group and was with us within the hour.

Disliked - Loads of kids. If we went without kids in our own group, we would had found all the playing space a bit much. Everyone that likes to sleep in past 7am should take ear plugs.
- Needed one more portaloo. There were four, which I originally thought would be plenty for the number of people, but they had filled up after just two days and had got a little grim.

Liked Lovely space, great for the kids to be able to play where you can still keep an eye on them. Great facilities, warm showers were fab. Lovely and peaceful, already booked to come back!
