  • 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.

What customers say

A well-kept, tranquil campsite with friendly staff, clean amenities & roomy pitches. Enjoy the lake & woodland dog walks. Most guests had great stays, though one noted a power/emergency support issue on arrival, which management says is fixed.

Powered grass site

Liked Clean amenities, fishing lakes. Nice staff and dog walk areas.

Disliked Very cramped, no space between pitches/tents. Busy car park right on the other side of the hedge by pitches 1-10, busy all day and night with people coming, going, arguing, etc. No play areas, no open safe space for kids (like a grass field)

Shepherd's hut

Liked This was one of the worst experiences I have ever had at a campsite.
I arrived at around 8:00 PM with my children and discovered that there was no electricity at our pitch. I called the emergency and contact numbers multiple times, but nobody answered. There was no support available and no way to get help.
My son was extremely distressed and crying because he was frightened, and no way to contact a member of staff. As a parent, this was incredibly stressful and upsetting.
It is completely unacceptable for a campsite to leave guests, especially families with children, without electricity and without any emergency support. I paid for a pitch with electric hook-up and did not receive the service that was advertised.
I expect a full refund and an explanation as to why nobody was available to help despite repeated attempts to make contact.
I would not recommend this campsite to anyone based on my experience.

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.
