 Best site I have visited in a long time. Well signposted off the A4022 (or something like that) 1.5 hours from home, this site is situated on the edge of the Cotswolds.
An enormous site with exceptional facilities including; pool table, table football, air hockey, table tennis, giant chess and draughts, three play areas, well stocked shop, tourist information centre, tennis court & skittle alley.
There were numerous taps dotted around the site so it was not far to fetch water. The toilet facilities are well maintained and clean, warm water in the shower and a bath for the ladies!
There is a boundary walk if you have a dog or just fancy a romantic stroll with the woman or man of your dreams and a farm trail. The Farm trail takes you past horses, ponies, pigs, chicken, sheep and, the wifes favourite, a Donkey.
Excellent site for kids and grown ups alike.
The weather was brilliant with temperatures up to 36°C. I will be visiting again.

Would totally recommend this site especially if you have young children and a large tent.
The pitches are very spacious (even for our Vango Diablo 900), all have EHU are there is loads to do on the site, esecially for little ones - 2 play areas plus under fives area, woodland walk, farm trail. Tennis court and bowling alley for hire.
The site was packed the middle weekend we were there - lots of chatter, children running around, but by 10.30pm the site was silent.
The shop is very well stocked and in some cases cheaper than the local shops. Home made bread fab.
Staff very accommodating.
Only minor gripe - the facilities could have been a bit cleaner (floors, windowsills etc), but I'm just being picky!
If you have a small tent, don't need EHU and don't have a young family, the £20 a night might seem a bit steep - for us it was well worth it.

Stayed here as part of a larger group. I think it might have been the same weekend as the previous reviewer as we also experienced a massive thunderstorm in the middle of the night - frightened all the adults to death but most of the kids slept through it!
But back to the review.
Overall I would echo the positive sentiments expressed by others. A pleasant site with good facilities. The shop has lovely fresh-baked bread and pastries but if you want some in the mornings, book it the evening before or else you will face a long wait!
I do have a few gripes: 1) we were pitched immediately adjacent to the septic tank and it was a bit whiffy, but nothing too awful. We were not given any choice of pitches.
2) they seemed to have temporary staff covering the busy Friday night booking in period, they were rather slow and disorganised and didn't give us any information about the site, but the (I would guess permanent) staff we saw the rest of the weekend were much more efficient.
3) one set of our friends couldn't arrive until the Saturday night. The site has a minimum two nights stay policy at this time of year, but we were warned about this beforehand and our friends had agreed to pay for the two nights even though they were only staying for one. However, on the Friday night, the warden came and got rather cross with us because the pitch was empty, accused us of not telling them the situation, and moaned that 'we could have let someone stay there you know' - even though we had told them what was happening, and our friends were paying for the pitch. We would have been a bit annoyed if they had been getting two lots of money for it!

I can't add much to other people's comments really! We had a lovely weekend (despite the weather which was pretty wet, with a massive thunderstorm in the middle of the night!). We went as part of a large party and the owners made sure we were all pitched together. The pitches were very generous and despite the site being busy, we had lots of privacy and space. The showers were fine with lots of hot water and even a bathroom, great for those with babies / toddlers.
Although there's lots to do on the site and nearby with kids if it's fine weather, we couldn't find much for little kids to do indoors nearby.

We have just returned from a four day visit and had a great time. Staff are friendly and more than helpful, pitch sizes are more than generous, and although the site was busy it never felt like it. Showers and toilets were always very clean and we never had to wait. Playgrounds were great (never saw the children) and the farm trails were a big hit. Shop is small but had everything that you may need and at resonable prices. Nice walk into Charlbury, but not very much going on, a few pubs with pricey menus but otherwise very pleasant. Overall an excellent site for families as all quiet after dark, and a great base to explore the Cotswolds from. We will definitely visit again!

We stayed at this site for the last weekend in April and were really fortunate with the weather.
Booking in was effortless, £5 deposit for barrier key.
Was given a choice of pitches and opted for one near the under 5s play area as we have a 3 year old. Pitches are very generous.
There are 2 play areas, one for under 5s and one for the bigger children, a large shed/hut houses air hockey, pool and table tennis which was all reasonably priced. There are outdoor chess & draughts also.
Showers (even a bath), toilets, washing up facilities adequate and spotless.
Small shop on site for basics and you can order your papers, croissants, bread for the following morning.
There is a farm walk around the site where you can see the pigs, sheep, donkey, horses, to our 3 year old's delight!
Charlbury is 2 mins in the car, and you can walk via the farm walk. There are some pubs, however we did not try them. There is a very reasonably priced Co-op here.
Overall an excellent site and will definitely be returning. Have already recommended to friends.

Just returned from the site.5 adults and 11 children in 2 large tents.The place is excellent!
Unfortunatly we had to pitch up in the rain,making it a mud bath around our pitch,We asked if we could move the next day-no problem,they sorted us out quickly.
Next day we had lovely weather.
Great site for kids,we never saw them! they had a football pitch, trails, animals, tennis, games room. I have never been to campsite and stayed on it the entire time. Apart from a stroll down the hill (children enjoyed that too!) to Charlbury we never left the site for the two days, didn't need to.
Showers and toilets fine, (some taps and showers could stay on longer without the need to repress them) water warm, washing up facilities good. Big on recycling.
You must order the crossiants for breaky,they are fab!
Recommended site for families.

Visited as part of a group taking up 11 pitches-tents / tourers / motorhomes. Site worked hard to fit us all together in advance. Prices average. Age ranges from 68 to 2 years. Booking in, slow process but friendly! £5 cash deposit needed for barrier card. Some in the group had no power with EHUs, but staff were very attentive and quick to rectify.
Toilet block - loos and showers clean. Could add a few more hooks to the shower cubicles (a moan for most sites i,m sure!) Access to drinking/waste water was good.
Animals were a good distraction for the kids, play areas and playing field excellent. Shop good with variety of products and not over inflated prices. You can order fresh bread, newspapers and even book in for a farmhouse breakfast!
Walk to Charlbury via dog walk and nature reserve good, not 'wheel friendly'. Small Co-op supermarket.
Lunched at the Bell Inn, Charlbury. Nice food, especially chunky chips! Great beer garden with lots of grass and picnic benches and shallow stream running through - Drinks and food expensive, but hey-you are on holiday and can treat yourself!
Good site and even though was nearly full , they have been creative with pitches, it did not seem cramped. We would visit again

As we used this site as the basis for our decision to visit I only thought it right to leave a review of my own.
Every thing that the last few reviewers wrote is correct.
On arrival we were given the option to change our pitch, we had a small child with us and we were given a more appropriate pitch which meant we could keep close eye on him. All the pitches looked good and appeared to be of a good size.
We camped in the far left hand corner of the site, which unfortunately is the lowest part of the site, which wouldn't have been a problem if we hadn't had a night of rain before we packed up to go. The ground was very soggy, however we felt was the sunniest parts of the site and reasonably private.
The facilities were great, the showers etc the best we have had at a campsite. The shop was good, well stocked and the croissants were lovely! We did pre-order them with our newspaper.
If I could improve things, as it was our first visit I would have liked a bit more info on the site when arriving. Ie Where the toilet blocks were, the different play areas and the walks, where the animals were, only for a little more direction. I know that half the fun of a new campsite is the exploring! I also felt that provision for the under 5's was very basic - a swing would have been nice.
We felt that as we did not use or need electric hook up that the site was slightly over priced. However this would not stop us going back. Over all a great stay and would highly recommend it.
We did walk to the local village. We were directed via the road, however we did find an alternative route across the site using the farm trail to the road, cross over the road and pick up the foot path which skirts the road. At the end of this footpath we were directed to join the road again, however if you go out of the gate, go right and down through another gate you can join another path which takes you behind the houses and up the field (not suitable for push chairs!) This then takes you up behind the church or if you go to the left onto the road by the scout hut!
We lunched at the Bull which has just recently been taken over. Although it welcomed out business we did feel it reluctant. Not very child friendly (no kids menu) dogs not welcome (poor poppy had to stay out in the rain!) the menu was expensive and we felt a little underdressed in our smart camping clothes. The food however was good.

Well we went to Cotswold View on 23rd March, we left Staffordshire in a snowstorm. Having advised at the time of booking an approximate time of arrival we rang the site whilst en route and there was someone manning Reception waiting for us with a smile.
It was a cold weekend and the shower blocks were clean and heated. Shower space is a little cramped but the water was warm and plentiful.
There were also ample sinks for dishwashing, again with loads of hot water and a small roof over.
The site itself is split into numerous sections so although it is a larger site than we would normally visit, you do not feel that you are on a big site.
The shop on site is well stocked and is reasonably priced (£3.75 for a bottle of Red Wine)
Walks around the site are nice as are the play areas.
Staff are friendly and helpful and were there to ensure you enjoyed your stay as well as to make a living.
We will return
