  • Quiet secluded site close to Bicester
  • The closest site to Bicester Heritage (two miles)
  • Fishing lakes on site
What an excellent Oxfordshire site this is for anglers. And walkers. And quiet English countryside appreciators. For friendly and well-maintained Glebe Leisure Park is in a cracking countryside location on the edges of Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire as well as Oxfordshire and has two fishing lakes on site as well as lots of trails all around. Dogs – and their owners – like this place too, as there are long walks and gravelled pathways with dog waste bins set at handy locations, and it's mighty like too that cyclists will like the gentle and short pedal along to local town Bicester... Any amenities you might need are sorted here, such as a loo and shower block with info room about the surrounding area, a toilet and shower facilities for disabled guests, a chemical disposal point, drinking water outlets and a car park.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: N/A

Disliked: This is one of the first reviews I have ever been drawn to write as I believe the way we were treated by this camp site was awful. Please do not stay here if you think that you could be running late. I was taking my son away for the weekend and had booked into the campsite for one night. Unfortunately I was held up at work and got away later than I had hoped. I was unaware of their strict policy not allowing people in after 8.30 and at 7.30 I received a call from them asking where I was and my ETA. I apologised and explained I was expected in just before 10pm. We were on a four hour journey from Cornwall at this point and over halfway there. The lady on the phone spoke to me like it was a massive inconvenience and this was not the sort of campsite you just turn up to at that time of night (9.50pm)… She explained that due to the lateness of our arrival she was not prepared to accommodate us leaving us nowhere to stay. Since the call I have been told that the reason they would not let me stay is that they need to check us in at reception and take details however they already had my address, phone number, registration number plus we had paid in advance. Surely they could have let us in and sorted out the paperwork in the morning. As I said, I don’t ever feel it necessary to write reviews but I think they could have been more understanding of my situation especially as I was travelling with a child and don’t want others to end up in a similar situation. On the plus side there is a really nice farm campsite that is a just down the road from these guys that are very accommodating and are happy to welcome people at short notice.

Liked: We loved the peace and tranquility of the site. Sophie was welcoming on arrival. The facilities were all spotless. We enjoyed the walk around the lake and the surrounding fields. The local area had so much to offer, much more exploring to do.

Disliked: The weather!!! We had 4 nights of continuous rain.

Local attractions

Plenty of shops, restaurants, pubs and cafés are in Glebe Leisure's local town of Bicester within a couple of miles, and designer clothes and accessories in the outlet shopping centre Bicester Village. Glebe is the closest site to Bicester Heritage, the first park in the UK for the tender loving restoration care of classic and vintage cars, motorbikes and planes, all on over 345 acres of an old RAF bomber station. The centre's been described as 'a historic motoring fan's idea of heaven' so do speed along there if old engines make your motor hum. Twelve miles from the site is simply smashing Blenheim Palace, given to the first Duke of Marlborough by Charlie 2 and handed down through the Churchill family to reach one Winston some decades back. You really should have a trip... Also within 12 miles are another few British institutions: the dizzying array of arty treasures at the National Trust's Waddesdon Manor; Broughton Castle at Banbury, and days out spectating fast types at Silverstone Circuit.
