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).

Liked: The spot is beautiful with an almost 360 degree panoramic view. The site was quiet and the site manager Peter was very hospitable and helped us out of a hole when the van didn't start!

justine t. Mar 2024

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Easy to get to from the M40. Clean and tidy. Hospitable host (Peter). Although it was a quiet time of year and we didn’t use it, the communal fire pit and bbq area seemed like a nice idea. We appreciated that there was a personal fire pit we could use. We paid for fire wood and although we were given a generous amount it was quite damp so it mostly hissed than created a decent flame and heat.

Disliked: We tented and there was no over hanging trees to pitch under or decent scrubs/hedges for wind blocking as we prefer. Information/directions for where we are allowed to pitch on arrival would be helpful if the host is off site. We wouldn’t say it had character- except for Peter. He is an asset.

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.
