  • Adults-only rural Oxfordshire site five minutes' drive from Deddington
  • Blenheim Palace 15 minutes' drive; half an hour to Oxford
  • Farm walks and firepits available; dogs and horses welcome
No children, but plenty of wildlife – and a field of horses as your nearest neighbours… It’s all a very relaxed and peaceful experience at adults-only Francis Fields, in rural Oxfordshire about five minutes’ drive from the market town of Deddington. This is a lovely place to relax and unwind, perhaps taking a stroll around the farm to meet the horses and ponies (ask on site if you’d like a proper introduction), finding a spot for a picnic or just chilling out in a deckchair with a drink of your choice and soaking up the uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. It’s not just the human guests that appreciate this location – other visitors often include foxes, badgers, deer, owls and birds of prey, all of which you might catch sight of if you tread carefully or sit quietly enough. As an adults-only site children are not allowed to stay here, but travelling horses and dogs are welcome. The local pub, 10 minutes’ walk away, is also a dog-friendly place – and with tasty food and a good range of beers into the bargain. More shops and pubs are up in Deddington, along with a monthly farmers’ market. Back on site, you’ll be staying on a gently sloping field where pitches are mown into the wild grass. Solar lighting illuminates each pitch, the access track and the toilet and shower areas, and there are firepits to hire for a nice warm alfresco evening.

Harvey C.

Hawthorn Field unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site (no pets)

Liked Absolutely beautiful site! You can clearly tell the owners take care and have passion for this campsite, with definite dedication & future plans

We popped into the local town, ten minute drive away for a drink and a Chinese.

Very peaceful having your own secluded pitch away from others.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Thank you

Already trying to find a date we can return. Loved it!

Fenced unpowered grass and earth tent or trailer tent site

Liked fenced off pitch meant our dog could chill and be off lead - wonderful for him and us. Plenty of space, peaceful site. Great showers, very clean loos and washing up area. Easy to find. Nice walk around the farm (check the info hut for the map). Super site.

Disliked Couldn't quite get the wifi up the top of the field (not an issue for us but might bother some)

Great weekend. We will be back

Farmyard powered gravel and concrete motorhome site (no pets)

Liked Brilliant Stay Near Bicester Village
Great location if you enjoy a bit of shopping, with Bicester Village just around the corner. The site is extremely well looked after – very clean, quiet, and tidy. We received a warm and informative welcome email ahead of our stay, which had everything we needed to know. We’ll definitely be returning!

Disliked Nothing

I would love to come stay here again, the perfect place to unwind.

Lauren A.

Fenced unpowered grass and earth tent or trailer tent site

Liked I stayed in one of the non electric enclosed pitches, I felt so relaxed knowing my little dog was safe and she could roam without worrying where she was. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe...I had the best night sleep I have had in months! And it was just so lovely waking up to the sound of nature and the birds. A beautiful view of the rolling hills and a lovely stop to watch the sunset. Really lovely clean site with very clean facilities, all the pitches looked very spacious. I was only there for a day and night, wish I could have stayed longer, but it is just what I needed!

Peaceful. Clean. Safe. Lovely surroundings. Great Scenery. Friendly

PAUL J.

Farmyard powered gravel and concrete motorhome site (no pets)

Liked Peaceful in the most beautiful surroundings, we walked the fields and got the most fantastic views.
The owners were lovely and kept everywhere immaculate, always cleaning the toilets, showers & wash up area.
The farmer who looks after the farm was so nice, would stop & chat to us giving great info on local places to see.
We loved it here & will be back.

Disliked Nothing to dislike here

Liked Lovely fenced pitches, lots of space and felt pretty private. Showers and toilets immaculately clean. Easy walk down the road to the pub which served great food. WiFi was available although the signal to our pitch wasn't great.

Local attractions

Staying at Francis Fields, you’ll be just on the edge of the Cotswolds National Landscape, putting you within easy reach of lots of gorgeous walking and cycling routes (and a good number of country pubs to stop at…) Some favourite options nearby include walks around the Rollright Stones, or a grander tour of Broughton Castle (both 20 minutes’ drive). Even grander are the lavish stately home and landscaped gardens (designed by Capability Brown, no less) at Blenheim Palace (15 minutes). If your current togs aren’t up to scratch for such things, hit the outlet stores at Bicester Village (20 minutes). The Cotswolds Distillery (25 minutes) is another good place to shop, with a café and distillery tours on offer too. Other days out nearby might take you into Oxford (half an hour) to tour the colleges and museums or try your hand at the art of punting, or to the high-speed action at the Silverstone circuit (35 minutes).
