  • 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

A popular family spot with spacious sites & a relaxed vibe. Staff are friendly, facilities are clean. Kids love the playground & bouncy castles. A train line is nearby, but most find it fine. Some could use more toilets at busy times & older blocks need upkeep, though new ones are planned. Good value overall.

Liked Such a lovely friendly family run site that we keep returning to. Beautiful setting, staff are incredibly welcoming and helpful especially Freddy who went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. It was peaceful during October half term, lovely walks around and plenty for the kids to do.
See you all soon!
I would highly recommend this site.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked First time here but definitely won't be our last. We were greeted by very friendly staff. The facilities were clean and pitches were level. We enjoyed the burger we got for our tea and spent the evening warming ourselves by the log fires drinking very reasonably priced beer. Loved the little goats and aviary. Nice dog walk along the canal Highly recommend this gem of a place.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked The whole laid back vibe. A great place to relax. The few animals and birds they have are great. Lovely walks on canal and great local pubs

Disliked Toilets were messy. More about people using them than the site care itself.

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).
