Peaceful rural site with panoramic views of the Chiltern Hills
On the Ridgeway Trail, less than 30 minutes from Oxford and Reading
Dog-friendly site; campfires permitted, with wood for sale

Disconnect from the world and plug in to nature at Ridgeway View Campsite, a spacious, back to basics site under 30 minutes by car from both Oxford and Reading. Generous pitches here are surrounded by Oxfordshire wheatfields with the Chiltern Hills beyond. This quiet site takes its name from the ancient trackway it backs onto. Now one of the UK’s popular National Trails, the Ridgeway 87-mile route is known as ‘Britain’s oldest road’ – walk here to follow in the footsteps of 5,000 years' worth of travellers. Less than a mile away, visitors can link up with the wildlife-rich Thames Path too. Also within walking distance (just far enough to build up an appetite for lunch) are several great pubs – plot your routes to take in the hostelries in Crowmarsh Gifford or Hailey. Something a bit more active in mind (or need to get some stress out)? Book a session at Ridgeway View's own axe-throwing range, which is a 15-minute drive away from the site. For stocking up on essentials, taking tea and cake or pottering around the shops, pop to the historic market town of Wallingford (five minutes’ drive), where you should also seek out the blue plaque for famed novelist Agatha Christie (British TV watchers may also recognise the area as the setting for Midsomer Murders). Half an hour’s drive to the north brings you to Oxford, and the same distance south is Reading. Guests have access to just a few back to basics facilities, including portable toilets and cold-water showers. Barbecues and campfires are permitted if raised off the ground – firewood is available to buy, and cooking slabs can be hired. Considerate dog owners are welcome and there’s plenty of space nearby for the canines to stretch their legs. On the farm there’s a no-noise policy at night past 10.30pm, so that everyone can enjoy a bit of rural peace.

Primitive grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Helpful staff, lots of toilets, clean... best thing was great views, especially sunset

Disliked: It would be good if there was a system to buy more firewood, not just using the pre-made kits. Also obviously the cold water showers are not ideal.

Primitive grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Simple set-up - find your space on a large field. Quiet location and ideal for Ridgeway or Chiltern walkers. Portaloos and cold shower facilities. Always good to have the option of a firepit - which was easy to arrange and pick up. Added bonus of the stay was a visit by a pop-up Pizza man. Would definitely book again

Primitive grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Beautiful views and surroundings. Plenty of space for everyone. Loved the fact it was no-assigned pitches. Check in was so easy and the firewood collection was so easy. Able to send a text and get given a code to collect the wood from the pig sty and made it so simple. Directions were clear.
Location was key, we were able to go on a lovely walk on the ridgeway. Having the option for late check-out was a bonus.

Disliked: Would be lovely if there was hot water for showers and washing up, but we were warned so planned ahead.

Local attractions

On a summer’s evening, there’s nothing quite like messing about on the river – hire a boat nearby at Wallingford Bridge or Benson Waterfront (both five minutes' drive). Sipping a glass of wine comes a close second, so Brightwell Vineyard (10 minutes) could be a good shout too. For wildlife enthusiasts, Cholsey Marsh Nature Reserve is 10 minutes away by car or a pleasant hour’s walk taking in the Thames Path along the river. And children (and quite possibly grownups) are bound to love a visit to Island Farm Donkey Sanctuary (15 minutes’ drive). To get the blood pumping, you could brave the local skydiving (five minutes) and watersports (15 minutes) centres.
