  • 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 The goats and avery were great for the kids. Loads of open space for the kids to play.
The shop and bar were very reasonably priced

Disliked The toilet and shower facilities were not cleaned often enough. The sinks and showers were slow to drain, smelt of urine constantly, no soap in the dispensers and weren’t refilled in the 4 days we were there.

16-amp powered grass site

Liked Weve been coming back here for 4 years now. It was the first place we ever bought our children and weve just kept coming back. We especially now like the fact they have a shop, onside food and hot drinks and somewhere to sit. They have male and females showers now too, not joint. So in all, its just kept improving. The little park, bouncy castles and goats are a great little bonus too!

Liked There was 15 of us staying 2 nights. We could pitch up anywhere there was space, and so we chose near to the play park and toilets, as there was 7 children amongst us. The site felt safe, lots for the children to do: bouncy castles, climbing frames, football, and feed the goats. We brought a kite too and there was plenty of space to fly it. Although there were a lot of other campers, it didn't feel crowded at all. The staff were friendly. We had a BBQ and fire, and did a lot of stargazing. It was lovely

Disliked The birds in cages. I felt sad for them 😔. The toilets were a little smelly

10-amp powered grass site

Liked Park for the kids was great along with being able to interact with goats. Food decent and nice undercover area to have a beer from the bar which wasn’t expensive. Good pitch size for the tent. Bouncy castles for the kids although weather was awful at times so they had to be deflated at times.

Disliked Showers not great as only luke warm. Toilets cleaned daily although they are in need of a bit of a refurb.

10-amp powered grass site

Liked Lots of open space and the rustic looking facilities. Great little shop, bar and food service and the wood fired pizza was delicious. The showers were lovely and warm too. Loved that you could feed and pet the goats.

Disliked Toilets did get a little messy so could have been checked more often. The previous people had left a mess on our pitch so obviously wasn't checked over after they'd left.

Liked The shop was well stocked with items that we needed. Fire pit hire was easy and the wood supplied was enough for two good sized fires. Son loved feeding the goats. The on-tap super hot water was brilliant for washing up.

Liked Have been coming her for 3 years, love the food on site and the spaced out pitches, its quiet enough at night for the kids to sleep. Fire Pits for hire are great. Shop on site for all the bits you forget and Tesco nor far either.

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).
