Back-to-basics camping in rural Oxfordshire with big views

Since 2016 Lindsay and Alan have been running one of England’s most highly rated and exclusive campsites on the doorstep of the Cotswolds. Though the place is all about ‘proper’ camping – think campfire cooking and big views – it also has an air of luxury, with just nine camping pitches and a private ‘en-suite’ toilet beside each, so that you never need to walk far from tent to loo.

The land here, nestled just on the edge of the picturesque Thames Valley village of Littleworth, has been farmed by Lindsay’s folks for four generations and there’s a warm, beaming enthusiasm radiating from the whole family. It’s clear that both the farm and the campsite are a real labour of love. In recent years, the farm’s flock has diminished to just a handful of pet sheep, a small herd of dairy goats and some chickens but it still has a working feel. Peep from your tent at the right times and you can also spy less expected critters – hares, buzzards, red kites or deer.

Perhaps one of the finest features at Park Farm is the ever present and ever changing view, best enjoyed at dusk with a campfire going and the sun sinking in the distance. Each pitch boasts a spectacular vista stretching out from the Upper Thames Valley to the Cotswolds in the east.

You can’t enjoy such scenery without it eventually drawing you out, either on foot or in the car. Head towards the historic market town of Faringdon or the Thames-at-Radcot, both within a leisurely half-day stroll. Alternatively, take to your wheels and wind your way to Oxford for days spent drifting along in a punt.

2. Hare's Hollow

(3)

Tent pitch · Sleeps 6

2. Hare's Hollow is the third pitch along our site. Every pitch has it's own private toilet shed with sink and cold running water, campfire area, picnic bench and more than enough space to pitch a large family size tent. Each of the pitches looks out over our stunning panoramic view over towards the Cotswolds, and each is numbered consecutively. The pitches are large and private, bordered by trees on three sides. When you arrive you can park in our clearly signed car parking area and collect a wheel barrow to transport your luggage down to your pitch - don't worry it's not far only about 400yds to the furthest end of the site – and it's well worth it to have a vehicle free, peaceful and safe area! The Viner family have been farming at Park Farm for over 100 years, true to our traditions we are still a working farm, these days we farm our 380 acres with crops and some goats for milking. We think Park Farm is a very special place and we'd love to share it with you. The campsite is set at the top of our rolling meadows and each pitch has views stretching for miles across the farm and the valley beyond over to the Cotswold hills in the distance. After five years running a 'glamping' site we have tried to create what we think is the perfect campsite – somewhere we would like to stay ourselves – with 'proper' camping but with a few added luxuries to make it extra special. We are a busy working farm so there might not be anyone around to see you in but there is a board near the carpark showing which pitch you are booked into and everything is clearly signed so you won't get lost. Campfires are positively encouraged and you can pre-order campfire wood whilst booking your pitch, but please do not fell any wood (see site rules). You are more than welcome to bring your own BBQ but please make sure it is raised off the ground. In the farmyard we have free hot showers, washing up facilities and a small Honesty Shop selling a few essentials. Each pitch has it's own 'Honesty Jar' for the shop and campfire wood so please make sure you bring enough change! In the washing up area each pitch has its own locker with an electrical socket for charging small electrical items. During your stay you are free to wander across our fields and meadows and explore the farm - just remember to shut the gates so the sheep don't escape!

First camp with little ones!

Tent · With kids ·

1. Oak End

We loved the site - it was well laid out and well looked after. Views were lovely, pitches were large and quite private (we happened to be the only ones there but even so you wouldn’t have been on top of each other). Amenities as described and clean / tidy. We will definitely be going back - our 3 year old loved it and our 1 year old was interested in everything going on!

5. Stumps

I loved the individual sites with toilets, potable water, picnic bench, and fire pit. The camp hosts are hospitable and pragmatic. The site clearly says no cars allowed a certain point and they even offer labels wheelbarrows for each site. The group next to us decided to drive and the camp hosts were there immediately. But then disappeared back into the farm afterwords making it feel seclusive again.

Pitch with view and personal loo!

2. Hare's Hollow

We loved the fact that there are spacious, individual pitches, each with their own personal toilet and that they are all surrounded on three sides by trees, which gives a certain degree of privacy. We enjoyed this so much more than camping in a field with tents on top of each other and having to negotiate these in order to get to the toilets/shower block.

Loved the camp, beautiful views, every thing is well though about, easy check in and out. Only downsides were late check in and early check out policy, also the stumps land slopes down towards tall bushes that restrict the beautiful views when you sit at the allocated campfire. I would still come back though!

We brought two of our granddaughters for their first taste of camping and we all had a great time. Large flat pitch, amazing views, our own toilet en pitch (a luxury). The girls loved the animals and collecting eggs from the chickens. Bus stop a 10 minute walk away - buses to Oxford every 30 minutes. Highly recommended.

A warm and friendly welcome from Lindsay (including smores ingredients which delighted our children) when we arrived, and a lovely and quiet set-up with plenty of space per pitch (for us, being on a small site was important). Loved the individual loo and running water - especially so as the shared facilities weren't available on our visit (due to Covid). All in all a very enjoyable weekend stay - thank you :)

We stayed in the second (enormous) pop-up meadow in August, and couldn't have been happier. Although it was no-frills, having our own numbered portable toilet made it feel quite luxurious! The owners were taking Covid precautions very seriously - there was so much space to distance from neighbouring tents, toilet was spotless, and hand sanitiser was positioned at the stand pipe. Alan was very welcoming, and we'll definitely be back. Oh, and do stop at their shop and pick up some goat soap, it's lovely!

The owners went out of their way to ensure a safe and clean camping experience, with hand sanitiser on the water station, plenty of space between pitches and each group having their own portaloo. It was a safe and comfortable camping experience. The site is conveniently located for accessing many of the highlights of the Cotswolds.

We stayed at the pop up meadow for 3 nights. We were assigned to the second field but we could pitch anywhere in that field. It was massive. I think the nearest tent was >20 meters away! We had our own designated porta-loo which was great, especially in times like these. There was a cold water tap but nothing else. Loads of space for the kids to run around. There was lots to do in the surrounding area to keep the kids entertained. The owners were very friendly. We all had a lovely time. We would definitely go back if they do the pop up meadow again.

I chose the pop up site thanks to other reviews and because of the cleaniness. The site was amazing! lot of space, and dedicated loos (sparkling clean). We had access to water. The staff is very friendly and reactive when needed to make it a great experience. It was the first camping experience for my kids 6 and 8 and they really enjoyed it. Will definitely recommend and come back again !

Absolutely perfect if you want lots of space, and peace and quiet (and if you don't mind the lack of facilities! Although you get a "private" portaloo per group, and a drinking water tap). Stayed 4 nights at the "pop up meadow" in mid-August (2 adults and 2 kids, age 5 and 6). It was a proper get-away- on a massive farm and felt really out of the way. We pitched at the top end of the camping meadow (where it was described as "undulating"), but found a flat enough space for our family tent (not perfectly flat but pretty good, and the long grass made it even more comfy!). Got an amazing view of the sunset (when the weather allowed!). Quite wet to walk around since the grass was so long. Loads of space between pitches, and although it was almost full at the weekend (19/20 pitches occupied on sat night), still felt spacious. During the week there were between 1 and 4 other groups only (really far apart- could imagine you were on your own!). Lovely to be able to visit the horses in the field behind us, and when we explored the other fields we found copious amounts of blackberries and sloes and spotted some deer! Nearby walks include a really beautiful nature reserve on the thames, plus it is close to the White Horse (more obvious- so pretty busy near the car park, but easy to get away from people if you walk a little way).

We stayed at the pop-up meadow for a weekend. I was very impressed with how the owners had thought about COVID precautions, each pitch had its own portaloo. The owners were very friendly and went to the trouble of researching wild swimming locations for us. In short we had a fantastic weekend.

Set up pitch where you want, and there's plenty of flat grou d and a good view. staff were unobtrusive checking the site and helped us find the beautiful river 15 minutes walk away. Private portaloo makes me question why every campsite hasn't done this for years? All in all an excellent experience.

We had fun on the pop up meadow! Nice place to pitch, girls had fun catching crochets and so much space to play! Staff were friendly and helpful, ably assisted by Tess the dog who my kiddies waiting to chat with and stroke. Private portaloos which were kept very clean.

I really wanted a 2 night stay somewhere locally at short notice and ELENA’s so lucky to find Park Farm’s pop-up camping meadow. It was great, a medieval field with nature hedges and trees. The portal iOS for each pitch was really good, the whole place had such a great atmosphere and the owners, Lindsay and her husband were so welcoming. We walked from Littleworth to Folly Hill, about a five mile round trip, across beautiful fields with amazing views. We will definitely think about coming back here again.

We had a lovely three nights camping here. Thorough advanced warning about the measures they’ve put in place to keep us all safe. Pitch was great: personal toilet & hand basin a real value add during times like these!! Views are stunning with great walks from your tent. Would definitely return and recommend to others.

A lot of thought has gone into this site. Before we arrived the hosts were in touch with detailed information about the site, shower blocks, honesty shop and pitch access with reassurances about plans to make us feel safer around Covid - making it all very easy for us. It was beautifully clean on arrival and a real treat to have your own loo and washing facilities and standpipe. All pitches have views that just make you want to sit and relax into the evening as the sun sets. Fire pits are a great addition as is the on hand provision of fire packs for purchase. Everything is well spaced out so you feel as if you have the place to yourself despite being full it always felt peaceful. Pitches are well screened from each other. A really lovely stay. We want to come back.

It is an amazing campsite with an amazing view! The pitches are private and separated from each other. In terms of COVID, it was very well managed with no contact with anyone and hand sanitiser everywhere. We would definitely stay again!

Although we only stayed for one night, I loved it. We are going back again for a two night stay. The views were lovely and separation from the other campers was perfect. I couldn't believe how quiet it was and having your own loo was a god send. It would be nice to park next to the tent but that fact that no cars are allowed near the camping area was perfect as our kids could play without the worry of any vehicles coming near them (plus the use of the wheelbarrows proved additional fun for the family). To sum it up, great time, great fun, relaxing break. - Highly recommend.

We stayed in August for three nights. The walk from the car was a shock (thank goodness for sunshine, in pouring rain a decamp would be hideous) and we were glad we'd brought bikes for washing up runs etc but once set up the pitch was a treat. The view was to die for and the private loo was a stroke of genius. My only gripe would be a mirror in the loo. Contact lenses in the dark are a challenge enough, add in needing to use a phone screen and it's tricky. All in all a good spot to explore this bit of the country and the camping, whilst basic, was perfect for us. We didn't see the owners at any point. This could be a plus for you but for us was a bit strange. I like a face to my experience.

We stayed here for 2 nights and the 3 of us would highly recommend the campsite, the village and the general area. Easy and clear on arrival and departure, very organised and efficient, clean, safe and quiet. Lovely views of the countryside, we had campfires both nights. The bathroom on our pitch was clean, as was the shower block. My only observation would be to not reply on taxis or Uber from this area - there were no Ubers and we had great difficulty in finding a taxi. Apart from this, I can highly recommend the campsite!

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at park farm last week, beautiful views and friendly owners! The owners gave us a recommendation for rove farm and it was the most amazing little petting farm! We were allowed to help ourselves to the chickens eggs and make friends with the goats too! This was brilliant as we have a 4 year old! My daughter also helped the owner feed the chickens which she absolutely loved! We will most certainly be staying at this campsite again! We’ll be bringing our friends too! Really clean facilities and hot showers! They have a fridge and freezer which you can use for free! The honesty shop is a brilliant addition to the farm too!

We stayed at Park Farm over the May Bank Holiday weekend. Having a toilet and fresh water tap on your pitch is a huge luxury. It’s also very refreshing (literally!) to be able to use their fridge and freezer facilities for free. Each morning we enjoyed a wander around the rapeseed, wheat, woodlands and sheep. One morning my children had a lovely chat with the Farmers Wife who was tending to the chickens. They very excitedly collected fresh eggs on several occasions, which we quickly cooked and enjoyed. We had a truly rural experience. Park Farm is an amazing campsite, and I’m super reluctant to leave a review on here because I want to keep this place a secret!!

Visited Aug 2017, wet start but got a lot better. As this is a working farm be aware that you are left to your own devices. This is a little gem of a campsite, all the pitches have spectacular views over the valley. Each pitch has a wood chip all weather pitching area and a very sweet toilet shed, with a real toilet and basin inside. Behind the shed is a tap for water. The Honesty shop is a little room stocked with all sorts of things. Lindsay and her family couldn't have been more helpful or friendly, as they are also a farming family trying to raise crops and sheep. Sitting by the fire looking over the valley as the sun sets recharged our batteries. Lindsay and Alan have made a great campsite, our twins ran around and had great fun looking for eggs. Sad to say that as the word spreads about this gem it will only get harder to book a space. Fantastic place! Thank you!

From the host

The Real Campsite at Park Farm is proper, real tents only camping, how it should be: a small site with large spacious pitches, stunning panoramic views, campfires, your own private toilet on your pitch and no cars on site making it safe for children (and adults!) to run around, play and explore. This is real camping but it isn't pitching your tent in a crowded field, 6inches from your neighbours, tripping over guy ropes on the midnight toilet trek. This is 'boutique' but it isn't a yurt or log cabin, with electricity, hot tub, and a glamourous price tag to match. Our nine individual designated pitches boast stunning views across our 380 acre working arable farm and on over the Thames Valley to the Cotswold hills in the distance. Relax, walk, build dens, spot wildlife – you might never want to leave the farm! We also run arts and crafts sessions on Saturdays including activities such as felt making, printing and macramé (you can also book private sessions on other days). But if you do there is lots to see and do: we are close to the Cotswolds, the dreaming spires of Oxford and we are just a few minutes drive from some of the best wild swimming spots on the Thames.

Nearby attractions

Viewing your surroundings is always a good way to start. Faringdon Folly Tower, a unique 100ft tower built by the eccentric Lord Berners in the 1930s, offers fantastic panoramas of the Thames Valley and, a mile or so further north, Radcot Bridge and Lock is a wonderful spot to stop for a picnic after. It's the oldest bridge across the Thames and was the scene of many battles, today, away from the lock itself, this area of the river is also particularly popular for wild swimming. To the south lies Uffington: home to the famous white horse; a hill figure carved into the chalk escarpment and thought to date back to 1000BC. For more farm fun, kids love Roves Farm (01793 763939) in nearby Sevenhampton, which has daily animal handling and feedings, as well as tractor rides and more. For something more exotic, spot rhinos, giraffes and zebras at Cotswold Wildlife Park (01993 823006), 25 minutes away. The dreamy spires of Oxford are also an easy 30-minute drive. Spend a day exploring its 38 colleges, pop into the various museums and visit the labyrinth of boutique shops in the covered market. And, if the weather's good, indulge in a spot of punting (01865 515978).

Food and drink

If you're venturing off-site, you don't need to stumble far – it's a 10 minute walk to The Snooty Mehmaan (01367 242260), a multi-award winning Indian restaurant, including 'Best Asian Restaurant in Oxfordshire'. For something more traditional, The Lamb at Buckland (01367 870484) – serving local brews and seasonal hearty pub fayre – is a pleasant hour's stroll away (there's a bus that can drop you back). Faringdon town centre, meanwhile, is home to plenty of other eateries. A few doors down, the Faringdon Coffee House (01367 241574) has a handful of outdoor tables – grab a slice of cake and watch the world pass by. The Trout Inn (01367 870382) at Tadpole Bridge is a touch on the pricey side, but worth it for its location on the banks of the Thames with views across the Oxfordshire countryside.
