  • 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

This family-friendly campground offers spacious sites and a relaxed atmosphere. Goats and birds are a hit with kids! Facilities are mostly clean but basic, needing updates. Great for canal walks & village access. Some mention train noise & occasional cleanliness/availability issues, but improvements are ongoing.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Lovely site, great atmosphere with good shop, food facilities and seating. Kids loved the play area and bouncy castles

Disliked The freight train line runs 24 hours on Friday (can't confirm weekends), so close that you can see it through the hedge, disrupting your night's sleep. I booked for 2 nights and stayed only 1 night, using the second day for a full day's play with the kids and a BBQ lunch before packing up late in the afternoon. I wasn't that fussed on missing the second night due to great pricing.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked This was our first time ever camping and was the perfect place to start.There was soo much for our little girl to do on site. The little shop was brilliant and really well priced. The food cooked on site was good and again really well priced. We are definitely coming back ! It has a really lovely family atmosphere.

Disliked The only reason for not the full 10 stars, was just the train passing by but i understand that cannot be helped. It didn’t seem to go past or sound its horn as much on the Saturday and Sunday as it did on the Friday.

6-amp powered grass campsite

Liked Plenty of space, couldn’t understand why it was so empty, soon realised why

Disliked 2 trains every 10 mins, our pitch was the furthest away from the railway lines, but, there was a train whistle board which ment every train blew its horn right next to the site, engineering trains and freight trains running all night, we paid for 2 nights but went to another campsite at our own additional expense to get away from the noise, first time we have had to do this in over 20 years.shop not open, cafe not open, reception not open, all looked very tired and unloved…..not what was advertised at all, unable to get refund

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Great kids play area, spacious pitch. Loved watching the swifts and rabbits! It is very well set up for wet weather camping which is a real bonus. Good value.

Disliked The toilet block on the lower field was mostly boarded up. The busy train line running right past the site makes it quite noisy. I also found the England flags flying from people's tents quite intimidating in the current climate. I guess the overall atmosphere just wasn't for us. The facilities are really good though, and perhaps on a different weekend we would have felt differently about it.

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).
