Ridgeway View Campsite

Me gustó: - [ ] Really lovely location. Huge site and completely level with loads of room between pitches. Nice local walks along the Ridgeway path but it is single file pretty much entirely and at this point along its length, encased with woods so the views are limited. Loads of wildlife to see. Onsite the toilets were pretty grim - the flushing systems of the portaloos couldn’t cope with the volume of waste and most portaloos were swimming in sewage late Saturday evening. The handwashing pumps just didn’t work at all. There’s about 10 portaloos at one end of the field. Would be better if they were spread out - as it’s a 10 minute trek to them from the far end of the field. Plus please separate men’s from women’s? I hate sharing a toilet space where a man has had free rein to wave it all about!!! Only one water station and one washing up sink for the entire huge field. (Both of which were surrounded by ankle deep mud) It’s card only to buy firewood. There’s an app to take payment but then I received no code for the locked wood store. Fortunately a young couple told me the combination - which kind of defeats the purpose of a locked store - an honesty box would be just as secure?! It’s a lovely site but I’ve paid half the price for far better facilities.

No me gustó: Grim portaloos which were a trek away and unsatisfactory arrangement for purchasing firewood

Del administrador: We're so sorry you didn't enjoy your stay on site Fiona. Frustratingly many of your concerns could have easily been resolved in a quick message or call to the campsite phone number. We didn't receive notification that your payment for firewood had been made nor does it seem that you followed up by message to ask for the code, frustrating as this would have been very quickly and easily resolved. We are always a simple phone call or a message away. It is frustrating that this could have been so quickly and easily resolved. Many customers love the simplicity and ease of our campfire collection system - from this year's reviews it is one of the most often mentioned positive, but just to note fire pits can also very easily be pre-ordered in advance when booking a pitch. Similarly it seemed you missed the 4 different water points that are on site, we have 4 water taps on site as well as two washing up sinks.

Me gustó: Stunning site and views. My camper has everything on board so minimum facilities needed. So much space to choose your pitch. Owners very welcoming. Thanks.

Me gustó: Love this site, weirdly nothing special, just a field and some amenities. However it's a lovely flat field, the toilets are clean and multiple. They rent fire pits, the wood gives a really good burn and you get a fare amount. Near a busy road but you can't hear traffic noise. The site is dark at night but not a full darksky site due to the light pollution from Didcot. Excellent location for access to the ridgeway path for walking or cycling. Personally I could just sit and read and relaxed here for a couple of days.

No me gustó: Shuts early September, Doesn't open until May. I understand this is for financial reasons, sensible business don't run at a loss. They need more business! Stay here you won't be sorry.
