  • Adults-only rural Oxfordshire site five minutes' drive from Deddington
  • Blenheim Palace 15 minutes' drive; half an hour to Oxford
  • Farm walks and firepits available; dogs and horses welcome
No children, but plenty of wildlife – and a field of horses as your nearest neighbours… It’s all a very relaxed and peaceful experience at adults-only Francis Fields, in rural Oxfordshire about five minutes’ drive from the market town of Deddington. This is a lovely place to relax and unwind, perhaps taking a stroll around the farm to meet the horses and ponies (ask on site if you’d like a proper introduction), finding a spot for a picnic or just chilling out in a deckchair with a drink of your choice and soaking up the uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. It’s not just the human guests that appreciate this location – other visitors often include foxes, badgers, deer, owls and birds of prey, all of which you might catch sight of if you tread carefully or sit quietly enough. As an adults-only site children are not allowed to stay here, but travelling horses and dogs are welcome. The local pub, 10 minutes’ walk away, is also a dog-friendly place – and with tasty food and a good range of beers into the bargain. More shops and pubs are up in Deddington, along with a monthly farmers’ market. Back on site, you’ll be staying on a gently sloping field where pitches are mown into the wild grass. Solar lighting illuminates each pitch, the access track and the toilet and shower areas, and there are firepits to hire for a nice warm alfresco evening.

What customers say

This adults-only campground gets high marks for its peaceful vibe, gorgeous country views, and super-clean facilities. Spacious, private sites are a plus, as is being very dog-friendly with fenced spots. Staff are often called friendly and helpful. Despite minor mentions of Wi-Fi and shower lighting, feedback is overwhelmingly positive, with many wanting to return.

Hawthorn Field primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite (no pets)

Liked Location, large pitch space and separation, pup tent allowed.
Super clean loos and shower. Piping hot water in wash up area and showers.
The site is looked after and thoughtfully run.

Disliked Not the fault of Francis Fields, but noise from machinery / generators of some kind till quite late at night.

From the manager: Hello,

Thank you for your lovely review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and the facilities. We hope to welcome you back soon.

Due to our rural location, there is sometimes noise from normal farming activity especially during the current harvest season.

Fenced primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Spacious fenced pitch and very secure for the dog. Quiet and beautiful surroundings. Toilets were absolutely spotless. Very good Wi-Fi - better than most hotels we’ve stayed in! Clear instructions and map of site given in advance.

Disliked Nothing - would definitely book again. We liked the walk to the toilet and wash areas but it could be a bit of a trek if you were less mobile.

Fenced primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Everything, this is a really lovely small site. The pitches are a good space apart so you aren’t on top of each other, the facilities are good and spotlessly clean. The enclosed dog pitches are both large and far apart from each other, to reduce doggy neighbours barking at each other.

Disliked Nothing!

Oak Field primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The enclosed dog pitch was just brilliant. Peaceful location, adults only. The facilities were kept spick and span. The showers were lovely and hot.
WiFi was great and we were well away from the main camping facilities.

Disliked Absolutely nothing.

Local attractions

Staying at Francis Fields, you’ll be just on the edge of the Cotswolds National Landscape, putting you within easy reach of lots of gorgeous walking and cycling routes (and a good number of country pubs to stop at…) Some favourite options nearby include walks around the Rollright Stones, or a grander tour of Broughton Castle (both 20 minutes’ drive). Even grander are the lavish stately home and landscaped gardens (designed by Capability Brown, no less) at Blenheim Palace (15 minutes). If your current togs aren’t up to scratch for such things, hit the outlet stores at Bicester Village (20 minutes). The Cotswolds Distillery (25 minutes) is another good place to shop, with a café and distillery tours on offer too. Other days out nearby might take you into Oxford (half an hour) to tour the colleges and museums or try your hand at the art of punting, or to the high-speed action at the Silverstone circuit (35 minutes).
