  • Rural site in the grounds of a B&B 10 minutes' drive from Brackley
  • Silverstone, Blenheim Palace and Oxford within a 45-minute drive
  • Pitches mown into wild grass with picnic tables and firepits
If you’re looking to take a break with a little group of your best pals or a family gang, the setup at Walltree House Camping may well suit you rather well. Circular pitches here are mown into the long wild grass in clusters of three, with each cluster provided with a shared picnic table and firepit for free use (just the spot for quiet morning coffees or sociable evenings toasting marshmallows while the sun sets…) All of this is in the grounds of a smart B&B in a traditional stone farmhouse, out in the Northamptonshire countryside 10 minutes’ drive from Brackley. Views all around are of open countryside, and it’s easy to get out for more rural exploring – you can pretty much venture straight from your tent out onto public footpaths leading through field and woods to classic villages and country pubs. Get in the driving seat instead and all sorts of day trips can be on the menu, including outings to Blenheim Palace, Silverstone and Stratford-upon-Avon. More intrepid visitors can sate their appetite for adventure at Hinton Airfield with skydiving, gliding and flying days, or challenge travelling companions at the paintballing centre – both are pretty much next door. Rather more relaxing times in mind? Take a wander around the grounds to look out for remnants of World War II outbuildings and air-raid shelters, or simply settle down to watch the gliders overhead. Amenities on site are simple but well thought out: the central block has hot showers, a washing-up area, electric points for gadget charging and a freezer to keep ice packs chilled.

What customers say

Nice, neat pitches with privacy. Clean loos & showers with hot water. Fire pits, benches, and skydiver watching are a hit. Some comms hiccups & pricey wood. Peaceful, good value, great for a chill country break.

Alex K.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The pitches were really well spaced out. Each had its own picnic bench and fire pit. The toilet blocks were modern, clean, well supplied with be paper and soap. The showers with hot water. A freezer was available to recharge your ice blocks and a couple of plug sockets in the kitchenette. Situated in the heart of the countryside.

Disliked Very little, would have liked hot water in the toilets for shaving. You can take hot water in a bottle from the kitchenette next door, to fill up the sink as a work around.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Excellent, very well thought out pitches. Felt part of the wider camping community and also had privacy due to the clever way they have it the pitches in and used the slope. Kitchen, loos and showers were good. Loved watching the skydiving and we also did the cute little walk to the nearest pub the rose and crown.

Paul C.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The camping area was very pleasant, I really liked how the pitches were enclosed by the letting the grass grow. The shower/toilet block looked unassuming but was excellent.

Disliked Check-in process. Apparently I should have received an SMS at time of booking and again the day of arrival, sadly neither arrived. This meant on arrival at 1700hr I had no idea where to pitch, and no staff anywhere. I called twice, and eventually I got a call back, but the person I spoke to wasn't particularly helpful and just said camp anywhere. Thankfully it was quiet, so it didn't matter. Not sure how happy I would be with this lacklustre customer service in a busy period.

From the manager: Thank you for the lovely comments and pleased to hear The camping area was very pleasant and that you really liked how the pitches were enclosed by the letting the grass grow. The shower/toilet block looked unassuming but was excellent.

I am sorry to hear, you did not pick up the text messages which we can see were sent and delivered. It was difficult to hear with your poor phone signal, so advising to pick an available pitch was the best option for you at the time. We always try to answer calls within our office ours and out of office hours our voicemail advises guests to our website which has the camping Self Check In details.

We hope to welcome you again in the future.

Disliked Nothing.

Local attractions

To explore a bit more of rural life, take a trip to the Waterfowl Sanctuary & Children’s Farm (25 minutes’ drive), where kids can look out for wildlife or settle in for some ‘cuddle time’ with small farm animals. If you’re more into investigating the dwellings of the smart set, plan outings to the likes of Stowe (20 minutes), Blenheim Palace (35 minutes) or the Althorp Estate (45 minutes). All three have some mighty fine architecture to see – and there’s plenty more of that on offer in nearby urban centres like Warwick (half an hour), Stratford-upon-Avon (40 minutes) and Oxford (45 minutes). Something a bit different? Perhaps you might like to feel the speed at Silverstone’s racing circuit (20 minutes) or give your credit card a workout in the designer outlets at Bicester Village (25 minutes).
