 To Find Site:- From Chipping Norton take A361 towards Burford. Watch out for A361 veering off to right and take left turn signed to Chadlington, site also signed, and site is a couple of hundred metres on the right.
This site is situated in open countryside about two miles south of Chipping Norton. It is bordered by the A361 so there will be some daytime noise but this reduces quite a lot by nightfall. The site is open to non-members. It looks as if the site road infrastructure has had a recent upgrade with newly tarmacked roads in the main part of the site with foot wide gravel borders, I assume to soak up excess rainfall? There are 105 pitches, set out in two areas, the main one in front of the reception and a separate higher section along the top end of the site and this is where most of the non-electric pitches are. In common to most C&CC sites are a mix of hardstandings with electrics, grass with electric and grass with no electrics. Most pitches are sloping although some more than others so some levelling will be required. Electric points are handy to the pitches and they use CEE 17 blue plugs and are rated at 16 amps. Water points are situated near the entrance and at the facility block as is grey water disposal. Please note this site does not have a motorhome service point although if you have a waste water carried this can be used at the normal grey water disposal points. The toilet block is of the older variety and whilst perfectly clean and serviceable is not as luxurious as some. The block also contains a laundry, with drying lines behind the block, and dishwash area, it would benefit from a refurbishment. For children there is a nice looking adventure type playground. There is site wide WiFi and time can be purchased online. Reception sells a few essentials as well as Calor Gas there is also a book swap. Next door is a small information room.
The traditional Cotswold market town of Chipping Norton is a couple of miles away by road, perhaps more difficult on foot because of lack of footpaths, and is well worth a visit. For those not wanting to use their own transport there is an hourly weekday bus service from immediately outside the campsite entrance although it does not run much into the evening. In the other direction the bus goes to Witney. All parts of the Cotswold are within easy reach of this campsite. For eating out opportunities there is a large choice in Chipping Norton and there is also a nice Co-Op supermarket there to.

As you will note from the site map, this is on a corner between the A361 (Chipping Norton to Burford) and the B4026 (Chadlington and other villages). We were given the choice of hardstanding pitches but none of these - and we suspect grass pitches aren’t much better - are out of earshot of the boy racers and bikers ignoring the warnings of how many fatalities there have been on these roads. The C&CC should not imply the site gives ‘peace and tranquillity’. That said, the newly revamped pitches and site roadways are good despite most still needing levelling devices. Pity they didn’t go the extra mile and include fully-serviced pitches. The site location is good for the attractions of the Cotswolds.
Not sure what to say about the staff – they didn’t strike us as ‘the friendly club’ material. We asked about buying some food items and were told to go into Chipping Norton. However, we found fantastic little shops and a café down the road in Chadlington when we saw the signs to them on the board outside the site. There was no positive attitude to guest support. They equally made no attempt to recommend any other local facilities - we found the beautifully refurbished Tite Inn ourselves.
As at the club’s Bala site, we found the washroom facilities adequate but cold and basic. Shower cubicles were so small that when the water flowed the curtain was drawn in to touch you. There were inadequate areas to keep shoes and clothing dry. The washing-up area is in the open, with single-drainer sinks next to each other with no separating worktops - where are you expected to put dirty dishes and dried dishes?
There is no motorhome service point as such, but we were offered the loan of a bucket. Strangely, there is what looks very much like an MHS at the site barrier but to use it they would have to keep the barrier up and no-one would be able to drive in or out.
The on-site dog walk is adequate for their essentials. There are good unfenced field tracks to the left of the site entrance and a very good public bridleway just the other side of the A361 accessed by a gate at the western end of the site.

Fantastic site.
Wardens and staff very helpful and friendly.
Clean site despite older type shower facilities. Couldn't fault cleanliness, shame they shut to clean late morning as that's when most people are getting ready to leave and 'pop to the loo'. So you all end up queueing at the one disabled loo instead.
Bus stop right outside the site which is good.
Across a busy road there is a bridle way to off lead walk your dogs in safety.
Units are close but not too bad.
Overall, fantastic.

Lovely, friendly campsite. We arrived in the pouring rain and promptly got stuck in the mud! Everyone was so helpful and we were swiftly pulled out. The facilities were lovely and clean and despite how wet and cold it was we had a really nice time. Loads of hot water in the showers was a nice bonus!
The village of Chadlington is about a mile down the road. No path unfortunately. The local pub, The Tite Inn, is dog and children friendly. Fantastic garden and kid's play area. Drinks and food were on the pricey side though. Two great little shops were in the village with really friendly staff.
Fish and chip van was at the site on the Saturday night. Not the biggest portion I've ever had but very nice. We're definitely going for another visit but hopefully we will get some sunshine next time.

The site is easy enough to find using the pdf map printed off from the website. Small site yet good facilities which were spotlessly clean. Well laid out and well lit but the pitches were uneven and sloping - levellers/chocks required. TV signal was good and no problems with mobiles (O2). Site wi fi was a little slow.
As to road noise, this was quite bad at the lower end of the site, furthest away from reception. We were lucky and were close to the entrance and though we could hear traffic during the daytime, it never bothered us at night.
Chipping Norton is a pleasant market town - rather up market as you would expect in the Cotswolds, and prices in the local pubs/restaurants reflect this. However, parking is FREE - always a bonus - and there are 2 supermarkets, Co-Op and Sainsburys, as well as a good selection of local shops/stores.
Oxford is in easy reach and spent a day there, which we enjoyed. Park & Ride was pricey when you consider all the facilities were closed, even the toilets, but even this was preferable to parking in Oxford itself. Took an open top bus tour of the City as this was easier on my old knees than walking. The tour guide was great and you can hop on and off the bus at different points to visit the different colleges etc.
Overall we thought this was a very good site with friendly wardens and it is definitely on our 'return again' list.

I stayed here on two very wet and windy nights and really enjoyed it. I did not think the road was overly noisy, I guess it depends what you expect and are used to. Exceptionally clean site with very friendly staff so for me will look forward to staying again soon. Toilets are now closed for an hour for cleaning 11:00 am to 12 noon I think, I'm not really that regimented!
Very handy for Chipping Norton and Burford not far down the road. Recommend a trip to Hooky, Hook Norton Brewery! All in all a nice site good for solo camper.

We arrived on 12 May for two weeks on this well managed site. The hosts were very friendly and look after the grounds, loo and shower blocks to an immaculate standard. Unfortunately, the lights are switched off during daytime making it it more awkward for shaving, etc on dull days.
We discovered the Tite pub in nearby Chadlington and made friends with the their 'early doors' locals and spent a few good evenings as well! It's a quality pub with an excellent menu. (Their lunchtime smoked haddock omelette is a treat!)
Chipping Norton, no more than a five minute drive, is a lovely town with a small Sainsbury's and a larger Co-op store which we thought offered better value. There are 'proper' and interesting shops with original fronts and a variety of pubs and eating houses. The best fish and chips can be found near the top on the Evesham road out of Chipping. And available daily, not just for a couple of hours on Friday's as does the site's mobile chippy who yelled we've 'run out of fish' less than an hour into his two hour service! He certainly did us a favour in hindsight!
We will be returning later this year to enjoy this beautiful countryside once again.

This was the noisiest site I have ever visited in many years of camping. The A361 which runs only yards from a large part of the site is a very busy road 24 hours a day. It is very popular with motorcyclists who accelerate past the site as if on a race course. Army helicopters flew over at regular intervals. Do not pitch near to the toilets as their seemed to be a problem with the drains and were smelly in the hot weather.
Staff were very friendly but the continual grass cutting added to the noise, hard to avoid I suppose. Also, the toilets are closed for cleaning sharp on 10. 30 till after 12 noon. I arrived at the toilets on my first morning at 10. 20 to find them closed so you cannot afford to lie in if you want a shower and toilet.
Chipping Norton is on the doorstep but be prepared to pay well over the odds for a pint of beer and a plain meal in average pubs. This is the Cotswolds after all. Bus service is good though. Would not return as there are far better and quieter sites in better areas where you get value for money.

I stayed at this site after all the heavy rain and floods (silverstone weekend) so I called ahead to make sure things were ok and was told that some pitches were wet but it should be ok.
It was. There were a few pitches out of use but I was shown to to the driest part of the site and asked to take my pick. Well tended grass and overall the site was in great condition bearing in mind what had gone on a few days before. The staff were certainly taking care of the site
As you would expect for a CCC site clean facilities friendly wardens and a nice quiet site.
Chipping Norton is a typical small market town about 5 min by car with a couple of small supermarkets, and a good selection of restaurants / cafes pubs and shops.
I see there have been a couple of comments on road noise. I love a really quiet site but didn't find it a problem. Yes the roads were a little busy in the morning and around early evening but nothing that I really noticed.
Would I visit again? A resounding yes from me.

Over all a rather disappointing weekend. We've been on a few sites in different locations and to be honest this was by far the worst site yet.
I booked for a small family group and we were placed in the most inconvenient place possible by the road which meant we had to be side by side as opposed to in a group, there was ample space for us to gather but we had to pitch where we were told. If we had not protested we would have been split up even though we had booked as a group.
The road which ran past our tent was not really a problem until you factor in the children in our group had to cross it to get to he play area and guests to the site often went far too fast for the road.
Add to this the abundance of rules and regulations(a whole booklet)including the toilets/showers are closed from 9:30 till 12 am, pot washing not allowed after 11pm (why would you), children not allowed on the park past a certain time, to be constantly reminded of these rules before we broke them was just too much for a simple weekend get away with the family. Surely common sense should have a chance to prevail
The staff were overbearing and constantly reminded us of the rules, which were made clear in the booklet. We were made up of a small family group but it felt as if they were nervous that we would become wild and there fore they felt to check on us constantly.
Also they charged us per tent plus per person which means our group could have stayed in a B&B/Hotel for cheaper, needless to say it was excessive!
In short I would not stay here again for any reason.
