  • Secluded riverside site on a farm 20 minutes' drive from Oxford
  • Wild swimming in the river; Chiltern Hills 15 minutes' drive
  • Cooking facilities, campfire 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 pub (dog- and welly-friendly) is 15 minutes' walk away.

What customers say

Peaceful, spacious site near Oxford for a back-to-nature escape. Loved the generous, private pitches and beautiful river for swimming. Friendly hosts and farm dogs a highlight. Basic but maintained facilities. Minor points: walk to loos and compost toilets. Highly recommended for tranquility.

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

Liked Spacious pitches, beautiful river spot, clean portaloos, warm showers, fab little farm shop, quiet, informative information on the area and places to eat and drink. Loved it and will be returning particularly for the wild swimming!

Disliked Showers were a little mouldy and one shower did not work but plenty others to choose from. Toilets were quite far for campers on the other side of the field.

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

Liked Loved the wildness and the distance between each pitch. Loved the Holt area and the wild swimming spots. Loved the look of the eco pitches - I will return and will be booking one of those for sure. Loved the red kites (?) circling above the fields. Loved the walk to the pub.

Disliked That the distance between the pitches and the toilets meant that many campers chose to drive their cars to the toilets and back again.

Liked Lovely four legged welcome and then given a quick rundown of the site and directions to my pitch. I booked a Freedom pitch which was massive and felt very private. Facilities well maintained with everything you need (water/toilet/shower facilities). Definitely will book again.

Steve B.

Eco unpowered grass and earth tent site

Liked Well what can I say, what a beautiful, tranquil campsite… Stayed for 4 nights with 4 children and didn’t leave the site once… kayaking and wild swimming, enough room on our pitch to play a game of rounders..
Perfect site for our family. Hot showers, clean toilets and lots of open space.
We didn’t stay on the eco pitch due to a booking error with pitch up but Fi managed to accommodate us else where, Fi is super friendly and inviting and available whenever we had a question.
If you love nature and like a quiet campsite with lots of space this is a gem…..

Disliked Wasp’s…. If you decide to go take some wasp repellent, they were pests when preparing food and eating, we found burning coffee helped keep them away….

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.
