  • Family-run dog-friendly farm site in Cropredy village
  • A 20-minute drive to British Motor Museum; 40 mins to Blenheim Palace
  • Wood-fired pizzas on busy weekends; a short walk to pubs and cafés
Fancy a farm stay, but not so keen on the idea of navigating little country lanes? Set off to Oxfordshire and The Old Dairy Farm Caravan and Camping: getting here involves a mere 10-minute detour from the M40 at Banbury. That location makes this a most handy spot for motorway stopovers, but there’s plenty around to please those who choose to stay longer too. However long you stay at this family-run farm, you’ll not want to miss out on meeting the pygmy goats and free-range chickens and peering into the aviary; once the kids have done that, send them off for a proper run about on the large recreational field to tire them out before bedtime. Handy too are the smart and well-maintained facilities, including a toilet block, showers, a washing-up area, water supply and Elsan point. The wood-fired pizza oven gets going on busy weekends (and it’s also available for private hire if you’re having a gathering). Don’t worry if there’s no pizza action while you’re here: it’ll take just a few minutes to walk to Cropredy’s pubs, cafés and shop (or its play park). It’s also possible to walk to the Oxford Canal and River Cherwell for waterside wanders, and a short drive will get you out into the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for more walks, plus golf courses, fishing lakes and National Trust estates. In the main this is a peaceful site, but it's worth noting that a rail line passes fairly close by so you may hear a bit of noise from the pitches (or even spot trains – much to the delight of young rail enthusiasts).

What customers say

Great for families! Spacious sites, relaxed vibe. Clean facilities, friendly staff, fun playground & animals. Shop, bar, food all good. Trains can be loud, but good value. Mostly positive, few minor upkeep notes.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked The freedom to choose your own pitch. The size of the site is big enough that even when it’s busy it doesn’t feel cramped.
The site is in a lovely little village with some nice walks.

Disliked The facilities were tired and not very clean.

10-amp powered grass campsite

Liked The place was packed but great atmosphere, even though busy quiet at night for kids to go to bed and not be disturbed, lovely to see such a relaxed happy place, people still sat out at gone 11pm by there fires, which are allowed (can even rent firepit) yet nobody screaming and shouting just general chatter even peoples music lept down amd not blaring, everyone just seems so relaxed and respectful to others with noise, great to feed the goats, kids loved that, and bouncy castles for free is a great idea amd doesn't happen in many places, would 100% return but for longer next time 😊 food on site not expensive, clubhouse on site also not expensive, loads of seating areas that are covered, well thought out, no wonder they stay so busy. Kids loved it!!!!

10-amp powered grass campsite

Liked This was a last-minute booking for us while travelling back from France, so we weren’t quite sure what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised and ended up booking a second night.

The site was busy when we arrived but it quietened down nicely around 9pm. The food available was great quality and reasonably priced. The shop and bar is a fantastic bonus, with a well stocked shop that provides pretty much everything you may need. The toilets were clean and quirky. The showers were clean too, although they could do with a little freshen up, a coat of paint, but nothing major. The goats and birds are also a cute, quirky addition.

The extra night also gave us the perfect opportunity to visit Clarkson’s Farm and Pub, which was a great bonus and made the stopover even more worthwhile.

Overall, a really good find for a last-minute stop and somewhere we’d happily stay again.

Local attractions

Coming to the Cotswolds for a bit of fresh air and gentle activity? Set forth for fishing at Clattercote Reservoir, or tee off at Cherwell Edge Golf Course; both are about 10 minutes away by car. Country walking routes are plentiful too, of course, as are fine buildings to mooch around. Blenheim Palace (40 minutes’ drive) is perhaps the best known of all the Oxfordshire stately homes (and with good reason, for ’tis fab) but it’s worth taking a look at some others too, including Farnborough Hall (10 minutes), Sulgrave Manor (20 minutes) and Upton House and Gardens (20 minutes). For a break from the classic Cotswolds activities, head out to meet the big birds of Fir Tree Falconry (15 minutes) or sigh over all the shiny machines at the British Motor Museum (20 minutes). And if you’re in need of a tipple or two to accompany your barbecue back at base, there are some excellent local ones to be acquired at Hook Norton Brewery (25 minutes) and the Cotswolds Distillery (half an hour).
