Camping field in use - early may

  • Family-run Oxfordshire site at a smallholding with art studios
  • Didcot and Wantage 10 minutes' drive; half an hour to Oxford
  • On the edge of the North Wessex Downs, with great walks nearby
We are a family run three acre smallholding hosting an Arts Studio running pottery classes and workshops. We have a level, grass covered paddock that is ideal for camping. It is served by a purpose-built toilet block with two toilets, one shower, a wash-room and a kitchenette. We are 3.5 miles from the Ridgeway - an ancient track that, to the West goes past the White Horse at Uffington and to the East links up with the Thames Path near Goring. The Ickneild Way - like the Ridgeway an ancient long distance track - has recently been resurfaced between East Hendred and Lockinge to provide an excellent cycle path from East Hendred to Wantage. Wantage is an historic market town and the birthplace of King Alfred the Great. It is the nearest town for a good selection of shops, supermarkets and a weekly open air market in the town square. Reachable by car and bicycle (and in some cases by foot) are some excellent places to eat and drink. Steventon is easily achieved by foot or bike, while the Hendreds, Ardington and Letcombe Regis are further afield.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Nicely looked after site, toilets/shower/wash room etc nice and clean. Owner is quite helpful and thoughtful.

Disliked: Pitches are very close together - the site as a whole is about the size of a large garden! Also, the road is very busy, and traffic noise continues all night. Can be quite hard work to get pegs in too, due to what appears to be rubble a few inches under the surface.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Very clean level site
All facilities had sensor lights
All facilities were kept very clean and nice hot water.
A small kitchen room with door for washing up which also had microwave and fridge with freezer for ice blocks.
Shower was very roomy with a still and hooks to put clothes to keep dry.
Shower lovely and hot. Was push button but was long enough to wet down then soap up and another push plenty to rinse off and a handy basket on shower so no having a bend over to grab your toiletries. There is also a separate wash room for teeth cleaning or personal washing this also has usb charging points to charge your devices.
Reception was in a hut. Which has a table and two stools if you wanted to sit in the dry if you were camping. This also have an array of treats to buy and a very good coffee machine and tea making facilities and sink. They was a price list and honesty box including a card machine to pay by card. Fresh chicken eggs from their chickens.
There were bins and ash cans for bbq coal waste a sink for fresh water. Grey waste with hose.
Such a great site. Wonderful owners who also run a pottery studio on site separate to campsite.
I can’t comment on wifi as didn’t use it.

Disliked: I couldn’t find any faults just a little road noise but not enough to keep you awake.
