  • Family-friendly site overlooking historic Abingdon; dogs welcome
  • Five minutes' drive from Abingdon town centre and the Thames Path
  • Generous pitches, hot outdoor showers, sunset views and firepits
Pitch up and relax in the great outdoors at High Lodge Farm in Oxfordshire. This peaceful 400-acre farm borders the River Thames and looks out over historic Abingdon (widely thought to be England's oldest town), with views that are particularly spectacular at sunset. Made up of rolling fields, meadows and mature woodland, this back to basics site feels a world away from urban life and is a great place to enjoy a mini break under the stars. This pop-up site has spacious pitches where you can keep warm by hiring a firepit on site. Other facilities include portable toilets, outdoor showers (hot water requires a small fee), a cold-water washing-up station, an outdoor games area, book exchange and a small bale stack to play on. Barbecues are permitted if raised off the ground (no disposable barbecues, please). Firepit hire is subject to availability, and logs are available to purchase between 4pm and 7pm. Dogs are welcome, and select parts of the farm will be open for exclusive walkies with your four-legged friend.

What customers say

Spacious, family-friendly campsite with a laid-back, "back to nature" vibe. Guests love the large pitches, central playground, and woodland trails. Hot showers & fire pits are a hit. Some noted issues with portable toilets and occasional shower problems.

David B.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The peaceful location, pitch size and has all the basic camping essentials you'll need. The hay bales for the kids in the middle of the site is absolutely brilliant and they are hugely popular.

Disliked Despite the land owners providing a whole area for Dog owners they choose not to clean up after there animals on the path around the site. Pure selfishness, if you can't be bothered to clean up after your animals it needs the site owners to ban them from the site.
Cost per pitch needs looking at £30 per nignt is not good value. Or of you book multiple nights then offer a discount.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Amazing 1st time camping with my son and friends. He loved it and wanted to stay longer. I would definitely return for more than one night next time.

Disliked As a group of us we would have love did if we could have played some music.

Didn’t realise Wi-Fi was accessible. - my own fault.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Beautiful setting, amazing views, peaceful, spacious.
Basic facilities but plenty as they have not tried to squeeze pitches on to the area. About 10 portaloos, a couple of wash up stations and a handful of outside showers (we did not use!!) You can rent a campfire and logs. The play area is simple but fun for kids with hay bales and wooden climbing walls.

Disliked Portaloos (who likes them?!) but then this is part of the charm of the campsite, it is small and more basic than others

Recommend to friends Visit again

Generally a great site for family camping!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Location, tranquility a d space of pitch, location to play area/ toilets etc. Farm walks were great

Disliked Washing facilities, not really anywhere to have just a morning wash without a full shower. Would be great if there was a walk to the river.
