What customers say
A peaceful, spacious campsite near Oxford with generous pitches and wild swimming. Friendly owners, hot showers, and fire pits are a hit. Some pitches are sunny, and toilets need self-servicing (supplies provided). Farm shop and extras are great. Visitors want to return!

What a perfect place! 100% recommend for a wild(er) camping experience
Eco non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked Self check-in option is excellent as we are always late, but we also appreciated a lovely warm welcome. Our stay was absolutely wonderful - it was so nice to have a good distance between the eco pitches as we are usually worried about the kids being a bit noisy first thing in the morning. The site was peaceful and beautiful. Facilities were exactly what we needed - ability to buy necessities on site, hot showers, convenient toilet, fire pit and a picnic table. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful site, loads of space and lovely owners
Freedom non-electric grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Such a lovely place. Loads of
Pitch space. I had the eco spot and it was lovely, right by the stream which you can swim in.
It’s a basic camping site with the necessary things provided so if you’re looking for a top of the range site this isn’t it.
Yes had to empty and clean the toilet myself but everything is provided including gloves so no big deal. It’s very clear you have to do this so anyone who complains then that’s your issue but you can pay for it to be emptied if you wish.
Owner was lovely and extremely helpful. Lives the dogs she had so I was always giving them fuss.
There’s no WiFi that I knew of but you get reception there so no
Problem there hence the one star for WiFi
Disliked None, it was exactly as described and I loved every second there and will be returning
If you don’t like direct sunlight then upgrade for a few more pounds to the eco pitches as they have shade.

From the manager: Great to meet you and looking forward to welcoming you back to D'Oyleys - take care and have a good summer.
Loved it i will definitely be back
Freedom non-electric grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Fantastic place, beautifully set and well thought out. The reception area was great and had everything you needed and it was accessible at all times. The self serve concept was inspired and not something I've come across before.
Disliked Showers ran cold only, the portaloos were chemical ones and they smelt very bad. Compost loos would be so much better in this setting
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review.
We have only just put the freedom spots in place (the eco-pitches are all serviced by compost loos) so we will definitely think about those for the future. The chemical loos usually get emptied once a week and are for the freedom spots only but it appears there was a breakdown. with the cleaning vehicle. The loos are cleaned daily by us and don't normally smell. The showers are all gas but one gas bottle had run out after the busy weekend as had the battery. Sorry, I should have got down earlier to check these before you left. All the showers are working and running hot now. Please come again.
Communication with Fi was brilliant…
Freedom non-electric grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Communication with Fi was brilliant
Disliked most if not all pitches are in full sun until pretty much sunset - something to consider if camping on hot days.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review. We were pleased we were able to pitch you on our most shady spot that night as an upgrade and that you also found the shade of the island and the river. The freedom pitches are in the sun with full access to the shade and the river on hot days but the eco pitches have plenty of shade so something to consider when making your booking.

Paradise on Earth
Freedom non-electric grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We made a fairly last minute decision to camp for one night rather than going straight home to Oxford (only 20 mins from the camping). D'Oyleys looked the best bet online, with its spaciousness, tranquility, river, good walks etc plus somewhat quirky individual touches; not your standard camping/caravaning site. In actuality it was all this and more. We came on a very hot day and Fi intercepted us and directed us to an eco-pitch rather than the freedom field, in order to get good shade. This was so welcoming and generous and the pitch was absolutely gorgeous, as was the communal hammocks, swimming and BBQ shack area and other immediate surroundings (eg the deep pool on the Cuddesdon path). The pre-sunrise sky colours, with low mist in the field, were so beautiful that my partner stayed awake pretty much all night.
Disliked There was nothing to dislike

Fabulous place and people.

A hidden gem.
Freedom non-electric grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked What an amazing find. The campsite is so spacious and Fi and Phil could not be more hospitable. The views are fabulous and I recommend an hour or two in the hammocks by the river.
