Views from the campsite overlooking the market town of Abingdon

High lodge farm campsite surrounded by ancient woodland

Five minutes' drive from Abingdon town centre and the Thames Path
Generous pitches, hot outdoor showers, sunset views and firepits

Head off to High Lodge Farm in the Oxfordshire countryside and a couple of excellent rural treats await for you. The first of these is heaps of space to relax – this peaceful farm stretches out over 400 acres and is made up of fields, meadows and woodland that will make you feel like you’re a world away from urban life. Next up is some splendid scenery, as this site borders the River Thames and looks out over historic Abingdon (widely thought to be England's oldest town). The views are particularly spectacular at sunset, and later on you’ll be able to look up into the starry skies overhead. Keen to see more of this lovely landscape? The Thames Path is about five minutes’ drive away. As a pop-up site, the facilities here are fairly simple, but they’re well looked after and all the essentials are covered. Guests here have access to portable toilets, outdoor showers (a small fee is charged for hot water) and a cold-water washing-up station, and there’s also an outdoor games area and a book exchange for a bit of gentle entertainment. The generously sized pitches here have plenty of space for your awning, gazebo or pup tent, and you’ll also be allowed to set up a barbecue as long as it’s raised off the ground (no disposable barbecues, please). Firepits are also available for hire for those cosy outdoor evenings (subject to availability; logs available to purchase between 4pm and 7pm). Abingdon town centre is about a five-minute drive away for all your other supplies. Dogs are welcome at this site, and select parts of the farm will be open for exclusive walkies with your four-legged friend.

What customers say

Spacious, well-located site loved for its relaxed vibe & great play area. Guests enjoyed big pitches, views, and proximity to Abingdon. Portaloos got mixed feedback, though more facilities are said to be added. Hot showers cost extra. Fire pits & woodland walks available.

Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews. Last updated 28/07/2026

Liked The loacation is really wonderful with playground for kids and big spaces.

Disliked We absolutely disliked the toilets. Didn’t read beforehand that they are portocabins. We left earlier because of lack of good sanitair.

From the manager: Many thanks for coming to stay at High Lodge Farm and we're delighted you enjoyed the location.

For the benefit of any future customers reading your review, and for your own information should you wish to book again, we make it abundently clear on our website, Welcome Pack and in pre-arrival emails the type of campsite we are, including our facilities.

We have, at significant expense to ourselves, added more portaloos than are necessary on our site, to ensure they're not over-used and remain as clean and as pleasant as possible for our guests. We also supply hand-washing stations and soap.

The toilets are checked and swept three times a day. We are not allowed to plumb in toilets or showers for planning reasons, so this is the option we offer to campers. The vast majority of our guests are completely fine with this arrangement.

Local attractions

This site is particularly well placed for those of you that like a scenic walk – as well as riverside rambles on the Thames Path (accessible via Abingdon Bridge, five minutes’ drive away) you’ll also be close to three wonderful National Landscapes – the Cotswolds, the Chiltern Hills and the North Wessex Downs. All three are full of excellent trails, attractive villages and traditional pubs for mid-hike refreshments. Closer to home, you can explore in a different way by hiring paddleboards in Abingdon for gentle jaunts on the water. Or perhaps you’d like to spend the day in Oxford (25 minutes’ drive), checking out some of the historic colleges, visiting the Ashmolean Museum and having a go at punting? Elsewhere nearby you can see an excellent collection of vintage trains at Didcot Railway Centre (15 minutes), explore the elegant interior and gorgeous grounds of Blenheim Palace (half an hour) or give your credit card a workout at the outlet shops of Bicester Village (35 minutes).
