Camp site

  • Rural site in the grounds of a B&B 10 minutes' drive from Brackley
  • Silverstone, Blenheim Palace and Oxford within a 45-minute drive
  • Pitches mown into wild grass with picnic tables and firepits
If you’re looking to take a break with a little group of your best pals or a family gang, the setup at Walltree House Camping may well suit you rather well. Circular pitches here are mown into the long wild grass in clusters of three, with each cluster provided with a shared picnic table and firepit for free use (just the spot for quiet morning coffees or sociable evenings toasting marshmallows while the sun sets…) All of this is in the grounds of a smart B&B in a traditional stone farmhouse, out in the Northamptonshire countryside 10 minutes’ drive from Brackley. Views all around are of open countryside, and it’s easy to get out for more rural exploring – you can pretty much venture straight from your tent out onto public footpaths leading through field and woods to classic villages and country pubs. Get in the driving seat instead and all sorts of day trips can be on the menu, including outings to Blenheim Palace, Silverstone and Stratford-upon-Avon. More intrepid visitors can sate their appetite for adventure at Hinton Airfield with skydiving, gliding and flying days, or challenge travelling companions at the paintballing centre – both are pretty much next door. Rather more relaxing times in mind? Take a wander around the grounds to look out for remnants of World War II outbuildings and air-raid shelters, or simply settle down to watch the gliders overhead. Amenities on site are simple but well thought out: the central block has hot showers, a washing-up area, electric points for gadget charging and a freezer to keep ice packs chilled.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Nice peaceful setting, until lights out time… The site itself is set back from the house and has everything you need, the showers were hot and clean and the toilets and washing up facilities were well kept. The car park isn’t far from the site and not having the cars parked by the tents actually gave it a better feel. The ‘drop off’ zone isn’t far from the pitches and even though wheel barrows were supplied, we didn’t need them as our pitch was close enough to carry everything. Me and my boys loved our time here.

Disliked: There were a couple or groups that ignored the lights out at 11pm rule as they didn’t have young kids. Plus there was a festival/event in one of the other fields on the site that was going on until gone midnight, which kept us awake…. None of this would have been a problem if I was visiting as an adult group or had teenagers, but as a young family (7 & 10 yo boys) this wasn’t ideal

From the manager: We are so sorry it was loud over the weekend. Bank holidays tend to be very busy with more family groups booking on to the campsite can often be louder. We try to split large groups off the campsite and host them on our event field to create some separation but either way everyone should follow our noise policy. The event hosted in the neighboring field was larger and louder than planned, It should have been an exclusive hire of the whole site (including the campsite). Although the amplified music was turned off by the party fun and laughter did carry on late. If you are willing to give us another chance we would love to welcome you back free of charge sometime before we close the campsite in October. Mid week is of course quietest but lots of weekends are also quiet. Thank you for your feedback, we will make it our policy to inform all guests before hand when it is very busy or an event is taking please. Kind Regards, Walltree House

Quiet, clean and a campfire with marshmallows!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Such a peaceful, pretty little site with excellent facilities. Being next to the airfield was cool, watching the planes, gliders and skydivers. Too far for us on a regular basis but would definitely stay again if in the area.

Disliked: I love sites that have a separate car park but more/better wheel barrows would have been good for moving the stuff around.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Pitch layout, communication beforehand. Airfield next door

Disliked: Complete lack of staff on site. Carpark unsuitable for motorbikes. Campsite is supposed to be carfree, but many people parked in the loading zone or even on the actual pitch. Shower temperature is very erratic.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We are really pleased to hear you liked the Pitch layout, communication beforehand and the Airfield next door. I am sorry to hear other guests did not abide by T&C's by parking in the drop zone, all guests agree to this before arrival. As advertised we are a Self Check In campsite and staff are always on hand when needed as stated in the Arrival and Self Check In details.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Parking away from the tent made the stay even more relaxing and the kids found the wheelbarrows an added fun game to start the weekend! Then the little pathway to our own tent cul-de-sac with wild areas to keep us seperare added to the peace and adventure. A great location and the skydivers and planes added entertainment. The facilities were excellent and clean. The walk round the airfield to the local pub was excellent too! A really relaxing time, thank you

Disliked: We would have found a communal fridge more useful than freezer.

Local attractions

To explore a bit more of rural life, take a trip to the Waterfowl Sanctuary & Children’s Farm (25 minutes’ drive), where kids can look out for wildlife or settle in for some ‘cuddle time’ with small farm animals. If you’re more into investigating the dwellings of the smart set, plan outings to the likes of Stowe (20 minutes), Blenheim Palace (35 minutes) or the Althorp Estate (45 minutes). All three have some mighty fine architecture to see – and there’s plenty more of that on offer in nearby urban centres like Warwick (half an hour), Stratford-upon-Avon (40 minutes) and Oxford (45 minutes). Something a bit different? Perhaps you might like to feel the speed at Silverstone’s racing circuit (20 minutes) or give your credit card a workout in the designer outlets at Bicester Village (25 minutes).
