  • Well-kept adults-only site 10 minutes’ drive from Banbury, Oxfordshire
  • Silverstone Circuit 20 minutes’ drive; Blenheim Palace 40 minutes
  • Dog-friendly pitches with pubs and cafés 20 minutes’ walk away
If you’re looking for a peaceful and adults-only Oxfordshire escape, the tourer site at Highlands (10 minutes’ drive from Banbury) fits the bill very well. It’s easy to get to, being five minutes’ drive from junction 11 on the M40 and just off the A361, and has a handful of pitches with electric hook-ups in a well-maintained field sheltered by mature trees. Any doggy companions are welcome on site, and you can all set out for long meanders along the pretty Oxford Canal (20 minutes’ walk). If you’d like to be a bit more active, try a round of golf, playing tennis or kayaking on the River Cherwell (all within five minutes’ drive). For a change of scenery, there are several pubs and cafés in riverside Cropredy, a pretty village with thatched cottages and site of a well-known music festival held every August. It's a 20-minute walk from the site to Cropredy, although the lanes are narrow and windy in places, so you might prefer to drive or cycle there. Spotless facilities on site include toilets and a shower, a washing-up area, fresh water supply and Elsan point. If you feel the need for a little pampering, you can also book a private session in the hot tub.

Liked Found this little gem 💎 “Highlands” Williamscot, for the wonderful chilled out time in our caravan🙌🏼 🍷🍹
Our hosts, John 😇and Judy 😇are just the best! 🤩💙🩷
Beautiful site, very well kept, set in quiet surroundings, facilities were great, toilets, shower and all amenities clean and tidy, beautiful village “Cropredy” on the Oxford Canal, pubs to eat too. Visited Banbury and Daventry which are both in driving distance or the bus is accessible directly outside the site!
Thank you for everything♥️we had a brilliant, relaxing time🥰♥️💋💋

Liked Easy to find, close to the motorway, great for an overnight stop. John was very friendly and welcoming, there was also a very handy, comprehensive welcome pack. Basic but clean facilities. Nice to be able to use the paddock in the middle of the site for a bit of sun once the shade covered the van. I would recommend bringing levellers.

Disliked Nothing to dislike, the site is perfect for an overnight stay

Liked Chose this site originally because it was adults only!

There was so much space and only a small number of pitches so we barely saw anyone and didn't feel you were staring at someone else's van all weekend.

Facilities were simple but clean.

Amusing and informative visitor info leaflet.

John was the perfect host and loved a chat. What an interesting man!

Disliked Only that the site is quite near the road so some traffic noise but soon got used to that and just became background hum

A friendly, welcoming site

Liked Site was well located close to the motorway in pleasant countryside, the owner was very helpful on arrival and pleasant to deal with. Facilities were adequate and spotlessly clean.

From the manager: Thanks for your positive review, however the low overall score you gave us, only serves to reduce our overall rating I am sure you never intended for that to happen, see you soon!!

Will return again

Local attractions

The only problem you’ll have is deciding what to do first. Warwick Castle (25 minutes’ drive) is a good place to start, with tours of its medieval banqueting hall and live jousting shows, although stately Blenheim Palace (40 minutes) holds its own with fabulous Vanbrugh-designed rooms to tour, an exhibition dedicated to Sir Winston Churchill and numerous walks in the formal gardens and parkland. For more history, head for Stratford-upon-Avon (also 40 minutes), where you can visit Shakespeare’s Birthplace, see the thatched half-timbered cottage where his wife Anne Hathaway lived, and catch his plays performed at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. If you fancy combining a sightseeing trip with a decent stroll and exercising your canine chums, National Trust - Stowe Gardens (half an hour) has several options for lakeside walks in 250 acres crammed with follies. Petrol-heads can catch the British Grand Prix (held in July) and book their own driving experiences at Silverstone Circuit. Alternatively, check out all the classic cars at the British Motor Museum (both 20 minutes), where star exhibits include Del Boy’s three-wheeler from “Only Fools and Horses” and Jackie Stewart’s F1 car.
