  • Family-friendly, peaceful site on the River Thames near Pangbourne
  • Basildon Park 10 minutes' walk away; Oxford 40 minutes' drive
  • Stays here get 10% off the price of entry to Beale Park
Fans of a watery view or few, roll up to Berkshire site Otters Camping, within Beale Park just over a mile from Pangbourne. Lake view or river view? They’re both on offer here – the pitches look out over a lovely lake with the River Thames just behind. Strolls along the Thames Path come highly recommended (it’ll take you 25 minutes or so to wander to Pangbourne for pubs and restaurants), as do quieter days of simply sitting on site and soaking up the views out over the river to the hills beyond. That proximity to the Thames Path means that this would be a fine stopover for those tackling the whole of that long-distance challenge – as indeed it would for those following the Ridgeway National Trail or King Alfred’s Way, which both also pass by. Even those not planning on multi-day hikes can ditch the car for a while on a stay here: wander over to the National Trust’s Basildon Park, just over the road, or take advantage of your guest discount to meet the critters at Beale Park’s wildlife park. There’s also a company running outdoor activities in the adjacent field – see if you can sign up there for laser tag, archery, clay shooting or a run on the obstacle course. The peaceful pitches here have been set up with access to running water and toilets. Barbecues and campfires are permitted for your alfresco eats, and you’re also allowed to bring dogs along (let’s face it, they’ll love all this walking…)
