Caravan parks in North Wessex Downs AONB

·

You’ll find over 980 caravan-friendly campsites scattered across the North Wessex Downs AONB, from sheltered meadows to woodland edges. This region draws hikers, anglers, and horseback riders for good reason: public footpaths criss-cross rolling chalk hills, rivers cut through quiet valleys, and stables dot the landscape. Most sites offer electricity and water hook-ups, plus showers—not always a given in rural England. Prices start at just £9 a night, with the average hovering around £30. For a place locals rave about, try Penn Meadow Farm (114 reviews), Abbey Home Farm (100 reviews), or Woodlands Camping (59 reviews). Don’t expect city slickness—bring your own supplies, sort your own rubbish, and get ready to wake up to birdsong instead of traffic. Local knowledge: in wet weather, stick to higher ground to avoid muddy pitches, and always book ahead for bank holiday weekends.

Weston Caravan and Campsite

England · 31 units · Tents, Motorhomes
A small family run site in Weston-on-the Green village located with a local pub 5 minutes walk away and on site cafe. The site also has newly refurbished toilet and shower facilities. Amazing location to access Oxford city and easy access to M40 (Junction 9). Good things await for those who grab a berth at Weston Caravan and Campsite, in the Oxfordshire village of Weston-on-the-Green. For starters, space seekers should be pleased to see that there’s plenty of breathing room around this former dairy farm – excellent news for kids or dogs that need a bit of haring-about time after being cooped up in the car. Depending on where you’ve plonked down you may find that your nearest neighbours are the resident beef cattle, sheep or horses; it’s worth keeping your eyes open for sightings of the hedgehogs that often scuttle about the place too. Perhaps most crucially for those whose stomachs dictate a site’s success is the presence of a café that serves up a tempting range of freshly cooked goodies: breakfasts (no rush – they’re served all day), salads, cakes and coffees, plus cheeses, pies and the like to take away. And the crème de la crème – literally: homemade ice cream in up to 16 (yes, a lipsmacking 16) different flavours. Evening appetites can be sated with a barbecue out on the field, or trotting off to the local pub five minutes’ walk away. The site added a new toilet and shower block in 2018. And how to get to this little slice of rural loveliness? The village is just a few minutes’ drive from the A34 and Junction 9 of the M40, making it both a useful stopover on cross-country voyages and a handy spot for Oxfordshire breaks (perhaps taking in Oxford, Blenheim Palace or bagging bargains in Bicester).
