 We are currently on site with 2 children and 3 adults.
The weekends have been very very busy (but during the week pleasantly quiet)with lots of children which is fantastic for our family to the point they only return when they are hungry or thirsty. Brilliant !
The site itself is wonderful with plenty to do with the parks, walks, skittles and a few table games for the usual british summer weather.
B&B on site for any family members that want to stay but don't enjoy camping.
The site shop although small is reasonably priced compared to others and the stock they keep has been very well thought out
The free wifi is a definite big plus
The toilets and washing up facilities are spotless but the showers and taps do suffer from the usual very short times between presses
The animals on the site have kept the children amused (noisiest donkey I have ever heard but it has become something of an amusement)
The pitches are large with electrical hookup and despite being fully booked we do not feel crowded
All in all I will be returning again which coming from me is a very unusual. The staff are friendly helpful and unobtrusive but are always available when required.

Can't fault this campsite in any way. We stayed in a tent and had 2 teenagers in our party. Large pitches, free WiFi, games room, good on site shop, lovely views and surrounding villages. Out and about, we had an excellent meal (great steak)at the Cotswold Inn in Burford (15 mins by car), we also visited Broadway and Boughton on the Water - go to the Dragon Fly Maze great value and fun for kids and adults. Also went to Batsford Arboretum, nice walk and Bug Hunt on in August - well worth a visit. The site also has a nice walk in the woods attached to the site which has some exercise equipment dotted around and great views - excellent for dog walkers. Shower and Toilet facilities were also excellent - clean and never had to wait morning or evening.

Just back from a lovely weekend break at the Cotswolds View Caravan and Caming Park. We had 4 pitches of a good size all with electic hook up. The sight was very busy and our pitches seemed a little cramped with some people nearby not pitching correctly to the plots and young children walking inbetween our tents to get to the play area.
Apart from this can't fault this Park, toilet blocks were clean and plenty of showers available at all times. Lovely little play area where our daughter spent most of her time making friends. Small little games room with table tennis, pool etc. There was also Tennis available to book I think it was £2. 50 for half an hour to hire.
We went on the forest trail which was excellent and what a surprise we had with an adults outside gym equipment to use, brilliant never seen anything like it before but definitely recommend it, well worth a laugh!
Had a afternoon visit to Chipping Norton around 7 miles drive away. Took Fish and chips back to the Campsite one evening from the Artic Fish and Chip Shop just off the main street. All in all a great place to base yourself if visiting the area.

Nicely laid out site with clean modern facilities and good sized, reasonably level pitches. It's management are very friendly and helpful, and the free wifi is a real bonus!
Good little shop with fresh bread and pastries delivered every morning.
We were only passing through this time, but will definitely put this site on our list of sites worthy of a longer stay when we will be able to comment further on the town and the walks in the area.
It's a bit out of town, however there is a footpath that is mostly off the main road. It's a bit of a haul up the hill after 'refreshment' though!

Stayed here as a group of 3 families with kids aged from 1 to 8. Booking the three pitches together was fairly straightforward but took a long time as I had to give full details for each family over the phone (address, ages of kids etc), I wasn't allowed to book all three pitches in my own name.
The pitches are level and a good size and there is hedging breaking up the fields, we had a good area of three pitches together with hedging around the edge. There are two facility blocks which were clean and easy to get to from all parts of the site.
This is a great site for those with young kids, with good facilities (including bathrooms with actual baths, much easier with toddlers than showers). There are three play areas including one with toddler toys. They seem to allow ball games in the camping fields, this was not a problem where we were (in a small field with more hedges) but I think some people in the bigger, more open field had problems with footballs being kicked into their tents.
There was no traffic noise but we were disturbed at night / early mornings as we were right next to one of the playgrounds and some parents seemed content to send the kids out to play at 6am whilst they had a lie in - this isn't really the responsibility of the site though, more lack of consideration from other campers. There is also a small animal area with a cockerel and a rather noisy donkey, which both started making a racket from dawn!

Some real cash has been invested at this lovely campsite. The heated toilet/shower blocks are kept very clean and have free showers. There are plenty of water points and rubbish bins around the site which are regularly emptied.
Every pitch has electric hook up. And there is a great wifi network covering the site - again not just stick up a cheap aerial and hope, several antenna have been installed on high poles across the site.
The wifi is free, you pay a returnable £ 5 deposit for a card giving you an individual username and password to access it.
Some thought has been given to the layout of the site, it doesn't feel big even when pitched right in the middle of it. There are plenty of trees dotted around the site and the pods look good too (although a little small we thought).
The site is gated and an access card is required to get in, this is a returnable £ 5 deposit. The pitches are allocated when you book and numbered. Loads of space to pitch, even for monster tents.
We stayed for a weekend - our party was 4 tents, 8 adults, 8 kids and a dog. We made use of the on-site skittle alley, the kids also loved the play area and games room. Campsite staff were very polite and helpful.
There is a lovely wooded area towards the back of the site which has some signed paths giving beautiful views across the Oxfordshire fields.
The village of Charlbury is just down the road and has a large Co-op open late. Maybe that's why the campsite shop in reception is rather small.
We enjoyed a lunch stop at the Fawkland Arms in Great Tew, about a 10 minute drive north from the site.
We would return to this well-kept site.

We stayed at Cotswold View over the May Spring Bank Holidays with our friends, 4 adults, 5 children aged 13 and under and 2 dogs in total.
The site is ideally situated for touring the Cotswolds, Charlbury village has good pubs and Coop shop, Chipping Norton (8 miles or so) has a few more - takeaways, banks, a small Sainsbury’s etc.
Site is easy to find although all routes to it seem to take you through the village of Charlbury which is quite small but straightforward to navigate with care.
Entrance is through a security barrier and an access key is provided on arrival. Warden’s and staff very helpful
Our pitches were level, nice grass, easy to get the pegs in for the awning! We were next to the central play area which was convenient for the children if a little noisy at times but that was to be expected. Plenty of water and waste points about with facilities for recycling all usual types of rubbish.
Site has two toilet blocks, very cleans and well appointed, showers were hot and free. On-site shop good with essentials plus fresh baked (on premises) croissants and pain-au-chocolats every morning. Newspapers could be ordered.
WIFI available on-site for a deposit to cover the card containing the login details – plenty fast enough to keep up to date with what’s going on in the world.
There are ample activities to keep the children occupied – playground, mini football pitch, table tennis tables, air-hockey, outdoor chess etc plus a skittle alley and tennis court that could be hired for a small fee.
There are also a wood for playing in and a farm trail with horses, donkeys, pigs, rabbits and chickens. Farm trail also doubled as a dog walk with links off to footpath’s into surrounding countryside.
We all had a good time; it was less than an hour from our home (28 miles or so) so it’s somewhere we will probably visit again for a weekend stay.

We're here in the middle of the half term week and having a great time. We are 2 families with children starting at 7yrs up to 10yrs.
On arrival we were met by a very busy reception as people were checking in and out, however we were very warmly greeted and given a full explanation of what's available. Entry card required with a returnable £5 deposit, also same for WI-FI
Good points:
Nice pitches with some flexibility and no extra charge for gazebos or dogs!
No amusements for the kids to want to spend money on
Playgrounds for all ages
Football pitch for those footie mad kids
Woods for the kids to play and for adults to walk in
Farm animals
2 shower blocks with hot water and relatively clean toilets
1 bathroom costing 50p for the hot water
Veg prep area which has a free microwave
Free hairdryer in the shower block (in the ladies anyway, not sure about the gents)
Small shop provides all those things you might forget to buy plus fresh 'pre-baked' bread and croissants every day, you can also order newspapers
Not so good points (well only one)
Showers in the first block are very very powerful and the flimsy curtain in the cubicle which divides the shower and dressing area moves with the force of the shower and creates a bit of a mess by letting water through(keep everything off the floor)
Would we come back, yes definitively for a quiet relaxing short break. Ideal for kids to get back to basics, make friends and have adventures.

Our first real camping trip and we went with friends who had recommended this campsite as one they had stayed at before, no pressure then!
From the moment we arrived to the moment we left (despite the downpour), we had a great time. The staff were very friendly on arrival, the process taking precious little time. Free wi-fi a real bonus, and the fresh croissants in the morning were just fabulous.
The shower blocks were always clean (although closing them both at the same time did result in crossed legs for longer than we would have liked, perhaps consider staggering the cleaning?!) and the other facilities (playparks, games room) were also well looked after.
Lots of lovely tearooms in nearby Woodstock, just as well after the long walks we did. Would definitely come again and strongly recommend for anybody looking for a high quality, well serviced campsite

Our first family trip in our folding camper couldn't have been better. We booked a fully serviced pitch (hard standing) backing onto the forest.
We turned up after Easter when it was lovely and quiet, but felt the pitches were close to each other and when the site was busy you could be very close to your neighbours. (but this being the first hard standing pitch we have been to, we can't really comment!)
Great walks in the forest, kids loved the play areas including the small area for toddlers with plastic slides and plastic cars.
Absolute bonus to find a bath in each shower/toilet block. 50p was worth it each night for the little ones.
Shower blocks really clean, heated and with a radio on! Only found the showers to be ultra powerful in one block and got your shoes wet.But that's just inexperience talking!
Adam Henson's Cotswold Farm Park is well worth a visit, only 1/2 hr or so away and loads for kids to do all included in the entrance price.
Great campsite and will definitely be coming back.
