  • Adults-only rural Oxfordshire site five minutes' drive from Deddington
  • Blenheim Palace 15 minutes' drive; half an hour to Oxford
  • Farm walks and firepits available; dogs and horses welcome
No children, but plenty of wildlife – and a field of horses as your nearest neighbours… It’s all a very relaxed and peaceful experience at adults-only Francis Fields, in rural Oxfordshire about five minutes’ drive from the market town of Deddington. This is a lovely place to relax and unwind, perhaps taking a stroll around the farm to meet the horses and ponies (ask on site if you’d like a proper introduction), finding a spot for a picnic or just chilling out in a deckchair with a drink of your choice and soaking up the uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. It’s not just the human guests that appreciate this location – other visitors often include foxes, badgers, deer, owls and birds of prey, all of which you might catch sight of if you tread carefully or sit quietly enough. As an adults-only site children are not allowed to stay here, but travelling horses and dogs are welcome. The local pub, 10 minutes’ walk away, is also a dog-friendly place – and with tasty food and a good range of beers into the bargain. More shops and pubs are up in Deddington, along with a monthly farmers’ market. Back on site, you’ll be staying on a gently sloping field where pitches are mown into the wild grass. Solar lighting illuminates each pitch, the access track and the toilet and shower areas, and there are firepits to hire for a nice warm alfresco evening.

Quiet, adult-only site with roomy, private pitches. Lovely views, spotless facilities. Dog pitches are a bonus. Owners are great. Expect occasional farm sounds and a walk to loos.

Fenced non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked A brilliant campsite
We stayed in one of the fenced off dog pitches as it was our dogs first time camping and the set up was great, with a big space. Lovely spacious pitches with picnics tables. Clean toilets and washing up facilities with hot water.
Very quiet with lovely views.
We walked 20 mins down the quiet country road to the pub for an evening drink

Farmyard electric gravel and hardstanding motorhome pitch (no pets)

Liked Quiet, rural and well equipped site which we would recommend. The toilets/showers etc are a couple of minutes walk from the farmyard pitches which isn’t an issue in warm dry weather, wouldn’t be so much fun when inclement but wouldn’t stop us going back.

Had a nice walk into Deddington then a bus back towards Duns Tew where we had a late lunch at The White Horse Inn which was a friendly establishment with great food and service.

Hawthorn Field non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (no pets)

Liked Great sized pre allocated private pitches that ensure you aren't fighting for the best spot even when arriving later than other guests. The facilities are the cleanest we've encountered at many different places and the showers were roomy, with hot water.
Ella was super friendly and the firepit hire was great value for money.
This is the second time we have stayed here and we would definitely continue returning!

Hawthorn Field non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (no pets)

Liked We love this site and have been twice now. Quiet, no frills but beautiful views and very spacious pitches that are not on top of one another. Great for a weekend break.

Local attractions

Staying at Francis Fields, you’ll be just on the edge of the Cotswolds National Landscape, putting you within easy reach of lots of gorgeous walking and cycling routes (and a good number of country pubs to stop at…) Some favourite options nearby include walks around the Rollright Stones, or a grander tour of Broughton Castle (both 20 minutes’ drive). Even grander are the lavish stately home and landscaped gardens (designed by Capability Brown, no less) at Blenheim Palace (15 minutes). If your current togs aren’t up to scratch for such things, hit the outlet stores at Bicester Village (20 minutes). The Cotswolds Distillery (25 minutes) is another good place to shop, with a café and distillery tours on offer too. Other days out nearby might take you into Oxford (half an hour) to tour the colleges and museums or try your hand at the art of punting, or to the high-speed action at the Silverstone circuit (35 minutes).
