  • Secluded riverside site on a farm 20 minutes' drive from Oxford
  • Wild swimming in the river; Chiltern Hills 15 minutes' drive
  • Firepit area and farm shop on site
Wild swimming in Oxfordshire… what a clever notion. D'Oyleys Farm is an excellent option if you’re visiting Oxford and want a bit of adventure along the way: this laidback place has a riverside setting, a wild camping vibe and the means for outdoor cooking and picnics at its lush little island. The farm is in a secluded setting by the Thames, with pitch numbers carefully managed so that guests have loads of room and plenty of peace. There are four access points where you can plunge into the river for a spot of wild swimming – it's a little muddy in places (getting in and out is all about the sit and slide…) but it's fab for cooling off. A highlight of the site is the little island, where the D'Oyleys Farm team has set up the ‘BBQ shack' with cooking facilities, woodburning stove, deck space and a campfire area, where you can sizzle up supper on the woodfired cooking stove. At the camping reception, there's also a large fridge for guests to use. And another, also excellent, highlight? D'Oyleys is home to a farm shop and prepares breakfast packs (bacon, sausages and eggs) and barbecue packs (lamb chops, chicken drumsticks, steaks and burgers) for guests, all home-produced and all easily sorted by ordering before you arrive – use the details in your booking confirmation email. When (if) you crave a bit of city life, Oxford is half an hour away by bus via the service running from the village 15 minutes’ stroll away, or about 20 minutes by car. The farm is four miles from Junction 7 of the M40, so it’s easy to get out and about from here by car too. The local pubs (dog- and welly-friendly) are between 20 and 40 minutes' walk away along footpaths, depending on which one you go to; information on the routes is at the camping reception.

What customers say

This quiet spot has big, private campsites with heaps of room. Visitors love the stunning nature, animals, and river swimming. Facilities are basic but clean, with top hosts. Some found the walk to facilities a bit long and wished for more shade in heat. Management replies show they're improving things.

Eco unpowered grass and earth campervan or tent site (private bathroom amenities)

Liked We stayed in a eco pitch for a couple nights. Absolutely brilliant and we are looking at returning in a few weeks.

To list some of the aspects we liked:-
-Pitches were huge
-composting toilet which was clean and had easy instructions to use/clean when leaving.
-Pitch spaced very far apart which was ideal for us as had a toddler and baby. They definitely haven’t crammed people in to make money which we see a fair bit.
-Apparently three access spots to the river however we only went to two. The one on the right side of the map is ideal for paddleboard/kayaks however is peaceful with small water dam/fall.
- camp fire allowed and a fire pit was provided with the eco pitch and also had all the basics inc wood +matches in the welcome pack for the first night.
- shop was stocked with fresh meat/eggs/coffee machine/ wood and they take card which is great.

Owner Fi was very nice. Haven’t got a bad word to say about the site, very reasonable for what you get and looking forward to returning in the near future.

Freedom unpowered grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked Huge site with pitches widely spaced, perfect for privacy, quiet and peaceful nights and restful camping. No unnecessary lighting, so it was properly dark at night. Watching the birds and the hares around the campsite and the surrounding fields was delightful. Lovely swimming holes, easy to access and beautifully shaded, perfect in the hot weather. Shower cubicles are basic but showers are powerful with plenty of hot water.

Disliked It's a bit of a trek from some pitches to the loos/showers/washing up sinks and even longer to the swimming holes - a mown path across the field and/or a stile over the fence would help if that were possible. Or bring bikes!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. The field in the middle of the freedom pitches is actually a crop - I have asked the farmer if I could mow a few paths across the middle - you can imagine his reply! The Stepping Stones were reinstated last year having suffered years of flood damage but were promptly removed by the landowner on the other side of the river - the reason for the map is that they are actually called The Stepping Stones not because there are any but because that is what they are called on the OS map - unhelpfully I agree. A shallow wade for an adventurous camper across to the other side is what we usually suggest - sorry we didn't see you to explain. Bikes is a good idea - will suggest that in our commentary on Pitchup. Come again soon.

Wonderful as always. Thanks for allowing us the extra night.

Local attractions

Oxford might be your first stop: take the 20-minute drive or 30-minute bus ride to the city centre for wanders around the university buildings and museums, potters around the market, and, for Tolkien fans, a reverent pint in his fave pub The Eagle and Child. The farm is between the Cotswolds and Chiltern Hills National Landscapes for hikes and scenic strolls in either direction; wanderers could also venture off to Stratford-upon-Avon (an hour and five minutes' drive) for book-themed activities or Royal Leamington Spa (an hour and five minutes). Staying close to home, a footpath leads directly from the site to local villages. There are a few National Trust sites around too, like Watlington Hill (20 minutes), Greys Court (35 minutes) and Nuffield Place (20 minutes), which are all in the Chiltern Hills National Landscape.
