  • Family campsite with great views in the Vale of the White Horse
  • A half-hour drive to the Cotswolds or central Oxford
  • Communal firepits with seating on site; firewood for sale
You’ll be in for a real rural experience when you stay at Oxford Oak Camping – this simple family-oriented site is just behind Farmer Gow’s farm park and shop in the Oxfordshire countryside. Back at base, pitches are pleasingly spacious, flat and surrounded by hedgerows for a bit of shelter. Simple facilities are provided in the form of toilets and showers, and campfires are heartily encouraged by the provision of communal firepits with seating around them. Firewood can be purchased on site to help such evenings along. With splendid views of the Ridgway and the Uffington White Horse there’s no mistaking the fact that you’re really out in the countryside here – but that doesn’t mean you’ll be cut off at all. There’s a pub about half a mile away in the village of Fernham, and it’s very easy to get to the A420 (the main Oxford-Swindon road) close by for your days out in the likes of the Cotswolds, Oxford and the North Wessex Downs.

Oxford Oak: Peaceful, clean camping w/ great views & friendly staff. Ideal for families (petting farm!). Limited loos/showers may cause queues. Some noise & minor access/shop notes.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Space. Quiet. Near A420. Level pitch. Good electric hook up.

Disliked The facilities need work. My first shower was in the dark because the light sensor was so covered in cobwebs it did not work. The showers are hot but need sorting out so not covered in spiders webs and they just felt a bit grubby. There is also a large gap in the door so if the shower curtain is not pulled, anyone can see in. The washing up sink has hot water but a very small basin. The toilets are ok. Clean enough.

I rung the owner when we arrived and she was helpful but I did not see her except in the last day when she was cleaning the bell tents.

Generally I liked this site but just feel it needs a bit of a sort to make it worth £35 per night.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked The toilets and showers were clean, lots of hot water, plenty of books for hanging your belongings.
It was nice to have toilets separate to sinks for brushing teeth etc.
Nice to see the sheep each morning and a good location.

Disliked campsite loosely has a pitch wherever you like policy assuming you haven't booked a hook up which is great in theory. However, with no staff managing the process, it led to tents being pitched very close together, especially later in our stay. The four permanent bell tents also took up a significant portion of the field, which limited the available space. Some clearer guidance or management for tent placement would really improve the experience.
There was a family staying whose tent was absolutely dwarfed and hemmed in on Saturday night by a large camper and huge tent pitching so close to them.

Bell tent (six person)

Liked This is our third year camping at Oxford Oak and we can’t wait to come back next summer! It’s perfect for us with little ones who can run around the small field safely, and visit the lovely petting farm on site. Owners are very helpful and the bell tents are really nice. Facilities are ‘no-frills’ but that’s exactly want we want with young kids! They had a blast. Thank you x

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Easy to book
Clean- toilets/ showers and grounds
We didn't get to look around much but liked the setting

Disliked Was a little hard to find, we drove past it a few times. The name on building was different to the name given- only small sign on road.

The price was a bit high for what is there.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Super clean facilities and well organized.

Disliked The pitches are too close to each other, specially if you end in a corner pitch you will end up needing to coordinate with neighbor pitches to get in and out.

Local attractions

This is some splendid countryside, so come along prepped for walks or bike rides, either in the immediate surroundings or a little further afield in the North Wessex Downs (10 minutes’ drive) and Cotswolds (half an hour) Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. If you’re not sure where to start, the Uffington White Horse (10 minutes) and the area around Burford (half an hour) are good bets. You may spot some native wildlife as you roam, but for something more exotic you’ll need to head to the Cotswold Wildlife Park & Garden (half an hour) or to meet the snappy residents of Crocodiles of the World (25 minutes). It’s certainly not safe to get in the water there, but it is at Cotswold Water Park (35 minutes), which has a whole host of watersports as well as a beach area and fishing. For a bit of history and culture, you can’t beat a day out in Oxford (half an hour), punting along the river, touring the college quads and visiting the Ashmolean Museum. There are lots of scenic villages and towns to see up in the Cotswolds too – places like Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold (both 50 minutes) may be some of the prettiest places to see in the whole land.
