Paddock pitches
Countryside setting

  • Peaceful dog-friendly paddock pitches in the Oxfordshire countryside
  • A 20-minute drive from Blenheim Palace and 40 minutes from Oxford
  • Walk 20 minutes to the country pub in Barford St Michael village
Bear down on these simply gorgeous and peaceful paddock pitches in the Oxfordshire countryside. The level grass field at Spring Hill Farm makes pitching up plain sailing. Once you’re all settled in at this pop-up place, seize the day by tracking down the palaces, castles and country houses within driving distance of the site, or just slide into a cosy spot in the country pub in the village of Barford St Michael, 20 minutes’ walk away. It may be peaceful out in the Oxford countryside, but the site still has good access to major routes. If you want to list out a bunch of activities for your itinerary, you might want to begin with the 17th-century Blenheim Palace (20 minutes’ drive), the moated Broughton Castle (15 minutes) or Oxford’s spires (40 minutes) and sights, which include everything from museums and a castle to a distillery and playhouse. Just short of two acres in size, the quiet grass field has access to running water, washing-up facilities and flushing toilets. So, back to basics, you go. Aside from the local village pub, there are many more pubs, restaurants and cafes within five to 10 minutes’ drive of the site when you want a hot brew or something tasty to eat. There’s no doubt that you’ll need the energy, considering that nearby family-friendly attractions include Fairytale Farm (10 minutes), The Lido, Chipping Norton (15 minutes) and the Banbury Open Air Pool (20 minutes). Any Shakespeare fans are bound to get in a significant number of steps in Stratford-upon-Avon (45 minutes) too, checking out the theatres and his birthplace.

What customers say

This well-kept, quiet site boasts great, clean washrooms. Guests love the friendly owners, spacious, level pitches, and serene rural setting. Local pubs & walks are easy to reach. Some found paths muddy after rain and noted a lack of hot water at the dishwashing station, with a few wishing for more fire pits.

Paddock primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Been here a couple of times now. Really nice site, very well run with good facilities. Owners very friendly and helpful. Nice walks to various nearby villages (and pubs). Doesn't seem to get overcrowded and people staying don't seem to be overly boisterous.

Disliked Hot water in the field for washing up would be nice but not a big deal for a weekend

Paddock primitive grass tent campsite

Liked We had a fantastic stay at Spring Hill Farm Campsite. The location is excellent, and the pitches are spacious and well kept. It’s a true back-to-basics campsite, perfect for anyone looking to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

The facilities are brilliant—modern, spotlessly clean, and very well maintained. The toilet and shower block, washing-up station, and drinking water facilities were all excellent.

Booking was quick and easy, and the campsite is very reasonably priced. Communication before arrival and throughout our stay was superb, with friendly, helpful staff always on hand if needed.

We would 100% recommend Spring Hill Farm Campsite to anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxing camping getaway.

Local attractions

Go on, treat yourself to a drink – local brews and guided tours can be tracked down at the Victorian Hook Norton Brewery (15 minutes’ drive) or the Cotswold Distillery Visitor Centre (20 minutes). An excellent challenge might be to tackle a stretch of the Roman Fosse Way, a Roman road that passes through characterful towns like Stow-on-the-Wold (half an hour) and Moreton-in-Marsh (25 minutes). Historic your itinerary may very well be… local National Trust sites include Chastleton House (20 minutes), Upton House (25 minutes) and Stowe Gardens (35 minutes). Medieval Warwick Castle (45 minutes) and Blenheim Palace in Woodstock (20 minutes), are yet more historic attractions. Of course, families are likely to be looking for lively places to keep kids well-entertained. Such spots include Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens (40 minutes), Birdland Park & Gardens (35 minutes), Cotswold Farm Park (40 minutes) and The Model Village (35 minutes) in Bourton-on-the-Water. If you have time to fit in some bargain hunting, Bicester Village (25 minutes) is the place to go too.
