  • Family-run Oxfordshire site at a smallholding with art studios
  • Didcot and Wantage 10 minutes' drive; half an hour to Oxford
  • On the edge of the North Wessex Downs, with great walks nearby
Off to Oxfordshire for fresh air, bike rides, rural walks and… a bit of pottery? Muster Point Campsite is part of a family-run three-acre smallholding that’s also home to an arts studio running pottery classes and art workshops. That makes this a particularly handy place to stay if you’re signing up for one of the courses or workshops at Oxfordshire Arts – but you don’t have to be arty in the slightest to appreciate a stay here. It’s also an excellent location for those seeking out walks and bike rides – it’s just on the edge of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape and both the Icknield Way and Ridgeway are close by for long-distance outings or shorter stints. Equally easy are outings to Oxford, which is about half an hour away by car (and best approached by using one of the Park & Ride services). Closer by are Wantage (the birthplace of King Alfred the Great) and Didcot (home of the Didcot Railway Centre) – both are about 10 minutes’ drive away and have a good collection of shops and places to eat, with an open-air market in Wantage too. Or maybe you’re after a country pub? There are plenty of those around too – you can walk or bike to Steventon or get in the car for Hendreds, Ardington and Letcombe Regis. Or perhaps an alfresco meal back on site? You’ll be allowed to bring a barbecue along, and there’s a great farm shop less than a mile away for fresh produce (and pick-your-own fruit in summer). Facilities in the camping paddock stretch to a kitchenette, a washing-up area and a purpose-built toilet block with a shower and two toilets.

Liked The host is friendly. The facility is super clean and with everything needed, including fridges, microwave, charging point and a mini shop for essential supply.

Disliked Only one bathroom, when the pitch is full it might take time to queue for it.

Liked Fantastic campsite. The facilities were clean, well maintained and had everything you could need and more. We were shown around and had everything explained to us on check in and chose which pitch we would like from the ones available. We will definitely be back.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Great facilities, loved the honesty shop stocked with baked goods and snacks. Tea, coffee for sale. Washing up room with microwave and fridge was a bonus. Toilets and shower clean.
Owner friendly and helpful.

Disliked The campsite is situated fairly close to the road. Our pitches were near to this. It wasn’t a bother during awake hours but did wake us up and was hard to get back to sleep.

Unpowered grass motorhome site (maximum 7 metres)

Liked Fabulous small site - friendly welcome and a lovely honesty shop for food & drink options, even fresh eggs and local honey & handmade pottery - quite unique
Great facilities too - loos, shower, kitchenette & wash room - all v clean

Disliked Minor point but nearby road was v busy - but above benefits vastly outweigh this. And despite traffic noise there were still a lot of sounds of nature at dusk/night - birdsong, owls, & I think foxes. Lovely to hear

Unpowered grass motorhome site (maximum 7 metres)

Liked Good sized pitches, nice flat field

Disliked Could do with more toilets and an extra shower. The honesty shop was a bit pricey. £3 for a machine coffee you make yourself seems a bit steep.

Local attractions

Bring your bikes or boots – it’s about 3.5 miles to the Ridgeway, an ancient track that takes you towards the White Horse at Uffington, and you can pick up the similarly ancient Icknield Way close by too (pick it up a mile away in East Hendred for a good bike ride into Wantage on a recently resurfaced path). There are lots more trails to follow too, but if you’d like something different from your rural experience, perhaps take the kids to Millets Farm Centre (15 minutes’ drive) to meet cute animals, hire a boat in Abingdon (20 minutes) to pootle along the Thames or climb high into the trees at High Ropes Oxford (20 minutes). For other days out, the Didcot Railway Centre (15 minutes) is often a hit with train enthusiasts of all ages, and a trip into Oxford (half an hour) to see the historic colleges and try your hand at punting is a great choice too.
