  • Family-run dog-friendly farm site in Cropredy village
  • A 20-minute drive to British Motor Museum; 40 mins to Blenheim Palace
  • Wood-fired pizzas on busy weekends; a short walk to pubs and cafés
Fancy a farm stay, but not so keen on the idea of navigating little country lanes? Set off to Oxfordshire and The Old Dairy Farm Caravan and Camping: getting here involves a mere 10-minute detour from the M40 at Banbury. That location makes this a most handy spot for motorway stopovers, but there’s plenty around to please those who choose to stay longer too. However long you stay at this family-run farm, you’ll not want to miss out on meeting the pygmy goats and free-range chickens and peering into the aviary; once the kids have done that, send them off for a proper run about on the large recreational field to tire them out before bedtime. Handy too are the smart and well-maintained facilities, including a toilet block, showers, a washing-up area, water supply and Elsan point. The wood-fired pizza oven gets going on busy weekends (and it’s also available for private hire if you’re having a gathering). Don’t worry if there’s no pizza action while you’re here: it’ll take just a few minutes to walk to Cropredy’s pubs, cafés and shop (or its play park). It’s also possible to walk to the Oxford Canal and River Cherwell for waterside wanders, and a short drive will get you out into the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for more walks, plus golf courses, fishing lakes and National Trust estates. In the main this is a peaceful site, but it's worth noting that a rail line passes fairly close by so you may hear a bit of noise from the pitches (or even spot trains – much to the delight of young rail enthusiasts).

What customers say

A ripper family-friendly spot with heaps of space and tidy facilities. Staff are legends, and there's heaps for the kids, like animals and a playground. Cruisers loved the chill vibe and handy location. While most reckon it's a winner, a few mentioned the facilities could do with a spruce-up, and the train line might be a bother for light sleepers. Great value, a top pick for families.

10-amp powered grass site

Liked Beautiful site, with bouncy castle for the kids, nice play area and very tidy site

Disliked Toilets were very dirty, and on the morning of our departure one of the staff went in with very foul language, slamming and banging.
We were also pitched along the side but no mention of the railway that runs just behind the fence with freight trains running all hours

6-amp powered grass site

Liked Really liked the pitch size and the space it provided, along with the gravel for the car. Nice touch. Been here a year (or so) ago and noticed the covered seating that is there now is a welcome new addition. Loved everything about the site, ni e and friendly welcoming staff.

Disliked Not really a dislike but would be nice if there was more food options, especially in school hols, like waffle vans or pizza/burger vans.

Liked Lovely friendly site. Absolutely fantastic for kids!! Great prices friendly service from everyone!!!

Disliked Loos and showers could do with a tidy up……. Must be hard keeping on top of things with so many kids on the site who don’t always clean up after them selfs.

But a little updating maybe. Wouldn’t put me off going.

Liked We come here every year for a family meet up. The kids love the goats and the bouncy castles. The showers are good, proper indoor toilets available, small shop and this year a bar as well. Good washing up facilities and small playground area. We didn't use it but there are also pizzas available and a marquee for shade.

Disliked We don't mind the noise but it is next to a railway if occasional train noise bothers you.

Liked We had another amazing time as a big family group within this friendly, safe and quiet campsite.
It was useful having the shop and bar and while we didn’t order food, it was good to know that was an option.
The kids loved the space, the goats and play facilities.

Local attractions

Coming to the Cotswolds for a bit of fresh air and gentle activity? Set forth for fishing at Clattercote Reservoir, or tee off at Cherwell Edge Golf Course; both are about 10 minutes away by car. Country walking routes are plentiful too, of course, as are fine buildings to mooch around. Blenheim Palace (40 minutes’ drive) is perhaps the best known of all the Oxfordshire stately homes (and with good reason, for ’tis fab) but it’s worth taking a look at some others too, including Farnborough Hall (10 minutes), Sulgrave Manor (20 minutes) and Upton House and Gardens (20 minutes). For a break from the classic Cotswolds activities, head out to meet the big birds of Fir Tree Falconry (15 minutes) or sigh over all the shiny machines at the British Motor Museum (20 minutes). And if you’re in need of a tipple or two to accompany your barbecue back at base, there are some excellent local ones to be acquired at Hook Norton Brewery (25 minutes) and the Cotswolds Distillery (half an hour).
