  • Cosy family-run and dog-friendly site in the Cotswolds
  • A 15-minute drive from Blenheim Palace; 25 minutes to Stow-on-the-Wold
  • Barbecues and firepits allowed; access to footpaths and bridleways
After a cosy spot somewhere in the Cotswolds? Historic houses, museums and market towns are out in full force around the cosy Cotswolds Camping in its Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty six miles from Chipping Norton… to be exact, this family-run site is 15 minutes' drive away from Blenheim Palace and within striking distance of many characteristic Cotswolds trails. At the same time, Oxfordshire is the other way and Oxford itself is just 15 minutes’ train journey away from Charlbury Station (five minutes’ drive). As for those of you with a soft spot for a hardcore shopping trip, you won’t be left in the lurch here, as Bicester Village has a shopping outlet 35 minutes’ drive away and Stratford-upon-Avon is 45 minutes’ drive away for handsome riverside scenes and independent shops. Now, how about those hiking shoes? Well, the site has access to fancy footpaths, bridleways and woodland walks, so you’ll be able to get right to the rambling. You might want to stop by the local village, Charlbury, on your way around the local area, as there are food shops, pubs, cafés and restaurants here, all within walking distance of the site. And don’t worry, you’ll be able to carry the good time onto the site, as barbecues and firepits are both permitted – the same for dogs. As for the facilities you’ll have on hand, these include a play area, shower, toilets and a dishwashing area to help you deal with any dirty pots and pans.

What customers say

Family-friendly campsite in a scenic spot with roomy, neat sites. Staff are praised as welcoming & helpful, facilities are clean, and the on-site cafe/bar with live music is a hit. Hot water issues and some cleanliness concerns persist, and sites can feel close during busy periods.

Primitive grass tent campsite (large)

Liked A warm welcome as soon as we drove in to the site, pitches were generously sized and clearly marked. Lower field facilities were clean and regularly maintained. My husband loves a clean toilet and he was impressed with this particular impressed with this block. The cafe/bar was a lovely and the evening entertainment made camping life even more enjoyable. The kids loved the playground it was the first and last thing they did each day. The site felt safe especially as several staff lived on site and they even pulled people up if they were driving too fast through the site - in the interest of child safety.

Disliked Nothing really that we disliked, but we did feel like the upper field (the field we were pitched in) toilets were not as respectable as the lower field. They were dated, not as clean and lacked hand soap. If this was rectified we’d give it a 10/10.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Site was quiet

Disliked Where shall I start ! The site manager was not very communicative or helpful and gave the impression he really did not want to be there, he was bordering rude. The site is not at all well kept and looks untidy with the main rubbish bins overflowing when we arrived and toilet roll is not supplied. Facilities are old and dated and dirty in some instances, and the washing up facility was very grubby with no hot water available, and one of the shower blocks was locked up. I could not recommend staying at this particular site, even if it was free, as per other people we met on site, and we were thankful we were only there for 1 night,so consider this before you book !!!

Liked It was quite

Disliked I was told on the phone my plot number and then just told to park anywhere. The facilities were dirty, smelt and the floors felt like they were going to give way as you walk on them. We found a nice new shower block as we left, if someone met us we would have known it was there and been able to use it

Powered grass tent campsite (medium, maximum 4-berth)

Liked Facilities, use of fridges etc

Disliked Showers and toilets were quite grubby. They were supposed to have been cleaned each day but they remained quite dirty. I didn’t bother complaining However as the person in charge of the site was not very friendly at all.
Our pitch was plagued with ants which was quite unpleasant.
The top field had nice views but our camping field unfortunately didn’t.

Local attractions

Trail time? You might want to begin with the Roman Fosse Way, passing by the towns of Stow-on-the-Wold (25 minutes' drive) and Moreton-in-Marsh (25 minutes). Or from Lechlade-on-Thames (half an hour), perhaps you'll roll right on to the Thames Path, if you’re not drawn into the water with watersports such as canoeing. Characterful towns and villages are a Cotswolds staple and it shows… Burford (15 minutes) is boxed full of unusual shops, pubs and tea rooms, while in Witney (20 minutes), you’ve got classic entertainment courtesy of a multi-screen cinema, shops and leisure centre mixed in with markets and the historic Cogges Manor Farm. In Woodstock (15 minutes) there’s more history inside The Oxfordshire Museum. Like Chipping Norton (10 minutes), the place has a swimming pool, shops, pubs and tea rooms galore, to add to Chipping Norton’s theatre and cinema. Historic are many of the houses around here, and that includes the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Blenheim Palace (15 minutes), the Jacobean Chastleton House (20 minutes) and or the 18th-century Buscot Park (35 minutes). For more activities in the throw of it all, there’s Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens (25 minutes) and Bourton-on-the-Water’s equestrian centre, brewery and motoring museum (half an hour).
