  • Peaceful Oxfordshire site with direct access to Shotover Country Park
  • Harcourt Arboretum 20 minutes’ drive; Blenheim Palace 35 minutes
  • Communal firepit and barbecue station; bus to Oxford a short walk away
Part of a working farm, Greenacres Campsite is a peaceful place surrounded by spectacular countryside. It has a remarkably secluded vibe, though position yourself in the right spot, and you might just be able to make out the occasional rooftop and the sails of 18th-century Wheatley Windmill (five minutes’ drive away). Not only that: as remote as it feels, Greenacres is only about half an hour from Oxford. (Useful tip: the number 46 bus to Oxford city centre stops a short walk from the site.) The site has direct access to Shotover Country Park, a former royal hunting ground with a vast network of woodland hiking and mountain-biking trails leading to hilltop viewpoints looking out across south Oxfordshire. The park’s varied landscape (which includes heathland, marshes and hay meadows) is a riot of colour in season, with bluebells and wild orchids attracting butterflies and bees, plus songbirds and deer. The best part? Dogs are welcome – both at Shotover and at Greenacres. If you feel sociable, the communal firepit area is a great spot to mingle with other guests, perhaps swapping cooking tips at the barbecue station; there might be more banter after dinner, at the washing-up area. (Other amenities include a toilet block and hot-water showers, plus recycling points.) The nearest supermarket is about a mile away, in the village of Horspath (five minutes). If you’d rather someone else did the cooking, there are several pubs serving food within a five-minute drive (or a 20-minute walk).

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Great site with local walks and a little camp fire at night. Met by the fantastic host who showed us to our pitch and explained the rules. Had a fantastic trip and will be back again definitely in the summer.

Disliked: Signed up the green camping pass ( no choice on booking) but have never received any pass or acknowledgment I’ve joined this scheme. An email showing my pass would be nice.

WiFi/tablet is a bit iffy in the shop and slow. Great that they have a shop for little bits.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Everything. It was an amazing place to stay.
Not a big site which suited us fine.
We usually travel with our young kids but this was an adults only holiday.
Close to shops and has an aldi near.
Beautiful nature reserve to have a walk with baby deers!
Toilets are a bit small but very very clean and cleaned multiple times a day.
Couldn't have found a better place

Local attractions

Part of the University of Oxford, Harcourt Arboretum (20 minutes’ drive) started life in the 1830s as a pinetum, but it has since grown to include California redwoods, maples and magnolias, among other plants. Seasonal spectacles include wildflower meadows and an area of woodland carpeted with bluebells. The exhibits at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford (half an hour) range from Egyptian mummies to a samurai suit of armour, as well as paintings by Renaissance and Impressionist artists. While in the university city, you might also want to check out the ornate ceiling of the Divinity School and the elegant Radcliffe Camera, with its circular reading room, both part of the Bodleian Library. The birthplace of Winston Churchill, Blenheim Palace (35 minutes) is a vast 18th-century mansion on the banks of the River Glyme. After admiring its richly decorated rooms hung with portraits, head outside to explore its grounds, which include formal gardens, follies and water features.
