  • Secluded riverside site on a farm 20 minutes' drive from Oxford
  • Wild swimming in the river; Chiltern Hills 15 minutes' drive
  • Firepit area and farm shop on site
Wild swimming in Oxfordshire… what a clever notion. D'Oyleys Farm is an excellent option if you’re visiting Oxford and want a bit of adventure along the way: this laidback place has a riverside setting, a wild camping vibe and the means for outdoor cooking and picnics at its lush little island. The farm is in a secluded setting by the Thames, with pitch numbers carefully managed so that guests have loads of room and plenty of peace. There are four access points where you can plunge into the river for a spot of wild swimming – it's a little muddy in places (getting in and out is all about the sit and slide…) but it's fab for cooling off. A highlight of the site is the little island, where the D'Oyleys Farm team has set up the ‘BBQ shack' with cooking facilities, woodburning stove, deck space and a campfire area, where you can sizzle up supper on the woodfired cooking stove. At the camping reception, there's also a large fridge for guests to use. And another, also excellent, highlight? D'Oyleys is home to a farm shop and prepares breakfast packs (bacon, sausages and eggs) and barbecue packs (lamb chops, chicken drumsticks, steaks and burgers) for guests, all home-produced and all easily sorted by ordering before you arrive – use the details in your booking confirmation email. When (if) you crave a bit of city life, Oxford is half an hour away by bus via the service running from the village 15 minutes’ stroll away, or about 20 minutes by car. The farm is four miles from Junction 7 of the M40, so it’s easy to get out and about from here by car too. The local pubs (dog- and welly-friendly) are between 20 and 40 minutes' walk away along footpaths, depending on which one you go to; information on the routes is at the camping reception.

Angela T. 5 reviews

Eco unpowered grass and earth campervan or tent site (private bathroom amenities)

Liked Spacious pitches, peaceful location. Close to the river so our dog could cool off. Private compost loo. Farm shop had fresh local produce, good priced logs & an honesty system. We had a lovely welcome from Fi & the dogs.

Disliked Notice in private loo that we had to clean out our own loo or lose a deposit. There was no mention of this anywhere in the booking or terms.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review.

Unfortunately because you come through Pitchup there is nowhere on their site that allows us to explain this and no deposit can be taken to ensure that it is left clean and as you found it. However, we shall endeavour to work with Pitchup on this issue; in the meantime thank you very much for leaving your loo as you found it - we are very appreciative. Wishing you a happy rest of your summer.

Freedom unpowered grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked I liked the location and general vibe of the place, it was quiet when I was there but clearly gets busy at the weekend. The farm is old and rustic but has been very tastefully done out to attract visitors for food and partying.

Disliked Nothing really, if you want 5 star then why are you camping ?

Freedom unpowered grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked The river was safe, clean and so much fun.
Quite campsite with spread out pitches.
Clean loos and access to a fridge!

Disliked As a group we actually wanted to be closer together but the individual pitches could house a couple of tents so we made it work!
More drinking water taps would be great!

Freedom unpowered grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked So much space between pitches, quiet, access to the river was amazing . Beautiful area! Only slight downside for me was toilets were pretty far but that’s not a big deal!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review Katherine; we have added in extra loos at either end but appreciate that not all the pitches are as close as you would want them to be. Come again.

Lovely pitch and away from people…

Local attractions

Oxford might be your first stop: take the 20-minute drive or 30-minute bus ride to the city centre for wanders around the university buildings and museums, potters around the market, and, for Tolkien fans, a reverent pint in his fave pub The Eagle and Child. The farm is between the Cotswolds and Chiltern Hills National Landscapes for hikes and scenic strolls in either direction; wanderers could also venture off to Stratford-upon-Avon (an hour and five minutes' drive) for book-themed activities or Royal Leamington Spa (an hour and five minutes). Staying close to home, a footpath leads directly from the site to local villages. There are a few National Trust sites around too, like Watlington Hill (20 minutes), Greys Court (35 minutes) and Nuffield Place (20 minutes), which are all in the Chiltern Hills National Landscape.
