  • Family-run dog-friendly farm site in Cropredy village
  • A 20-minute drive to British Motor Museum; 40 mins to Blenheim Palace
  • Wood-fired pizzas on busy weekends; a short walk to pubs and cafés
Fancy a farm stay, but not so keen on the idea of navigating little country lanes? Set off to Oxfordshire and The Old Dairy Farm Caravan and Camping: getting here involves a mere 10-minute detour from the M40 at Banbury. That location makes this a most handy spot for motorway stopovers, but there’s plenty around to please those who choose to stay longer too. However long you stay at this family-run farm, you’ll not want to miss out on meeting the pygmy goats and free-range chickens and peering into the aviary; once the kids have done that, send them off for a proper run about on the large recreational field to tire them out before bedtime. Handy too are the smart and well-maintained facilities, including a toilet block, showers, a washing-up area, water supply and Elsan point. The wood-fired pizza oven gets going on busy weekends (and it’s also available for private hire if you’re having a gathering). Don’t worry if there’s no pizza action while you’re here: it’ll take just a few minutes to walk to Cropredy’s pubs, cafés and shop (or its play park). It’s also possible to walk to the Oxford Canal and River Cherwell for waterside wanders, and a short drive will get you out into the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for more walks, plus golf courses, fishing lakes and National Trust estates. In the main this is a peaceful site, but it's worth noting that a rail line passes fairly close by so you may hear a bit of noise from the pitches (or even spot trains – much to the delight of young rail enthusiasts).

Liked Quiet field because it was a Tuesday. Nice facilities. Warm welcome.

Disliked A few bits of litter left by other campers that I picked up.

Much more than we expected for the price we paid.

Liked Relaxed site so our group could set up our tents together with no problem. Pitches were level and local walks and a pub minutes away. Friendly, helpful staff, tasty food and nice eating area was a great plus and the toilet roll never ran out!

Disliked A couple of the water taps at the washing station nearest us weren't working - but that was a minor point.

Just a great site. Really welcoming, well run and great facilities.

6-amp electric grass pitch

Liked The place has clean campsites. Animals and outdoor playground that can keep young children engaged. Friendly and helpful staff, close proximity to the centre. Really enjoyed our stay.

Disliked Long wait for lunchtime panini, overloaded bin collection point outside the campsite.

From the manager: Unfortunately not too sure why people decided to only fill a few of the bins to overflowing when there were 4 empty bins next to them. As soon as we noticed we moved the excess waist into the empty bins.
We apologise for the wait, we were taken a little off guard. We are also hiring more staff as our trade has escalated in the recent few weeks since our new team has taken over.

Local attractions

Coming to the Cotswolds for a bit of fresh air and gentle activity? Set forth for fishing at Clattercote Reservoir, or tee off at Cherwell Edge Golf Course; both are about 10 minutes away by car. Country walking routes are plentiful too, of course, as are fine buildings to mooch around. Blenheim Palace (40 minutes’ drive) is perhaps the best known of all the Oxfordshire stately homes (and with good reason, for ’tis fab) but it’s worth taking a look at some others too, including Farnborough Hall (10 minutes), Sulgrave Manor (20 minutes) and Upton House and Gardens (20 minutes). For a break from the classic Cotswolds activities, head out to meet the big birds of Fir Tree Falconry (15 minutes) or sigh over all the shiny machines at the British Motor Museum (20 minutes). And if you’re in need of a tipple or two to accompany your barbecue back at base, there are some excellent local ones to be acquired at Hook Norton Brewery (25 minutes) and the Cotswolds Distillery (half an hour).
