 I took my two young sons (5 & 2) on our first camping trip at Cotswold View. They loved it. Good grassy pitches, plenty of play areas and well maintained grounds. The small shop stocked the basics as well as fresh bread in the mornings. My boys loved the seeing the farm animals and going on the woodland walks. Toilet facilities were perfectly adequate. Staff were friendly and happy to help. Had no problems with wifi. Classic campsite experience.

 Really clean well run campsite. Good facilities. Local village with pubs with restaurants not too far to walk but bit dicey if walking with children as sometimes no pathway.

Only stopped for 2 nights but it always amazes me how unsociable some caravan people are surrounding their 'area' with enough wind breaks so as not to see their neighbours. God forbid they actually had to talk to someone! One caravan had 6ft high fencing around - it was like Fort Knox. Unbelievable!

However great for visiting the surrounding area and villages

 Just got back from a 6 night stay. The Toilet block was clean, although I don't get the cleaning at peak times. A couple of problems with the toilet block, 1. Not enough mirrors, the mirrors on some of the sinks was too low for adults and some of the cubicles did not have any- same problem with the men's

2. Not enough places to put your clothes or wash bag when showering or washing.

We could not get on to the internet the whole time we were there. We did let the staff know but nothing change. The washing up area was not very clean. There was always a drain smell around the toilet block. The showers are push button and very hot, I don't know how any mum showers a small child in them. The staff know about this but nothing is done considering our and previous reviews. Our pitch was under tree's (berry tree's) and we had to clean a lot of bird poo (of the berry kind)off the tent before we packed up. Pitches did seem big at 1st but when the weekend came and the site was quite busy it was a bit snug. The village, we found too far to walk for a drink or to shop. I know this seems a negative review but I am only saying as we found it. We did enjoy our stay and staff we talked to seemed friendly enough. We would go back but would request a pitch that was not under tree's!Oxford is amazing. If staff read the reviews and just put a few things right, this could be an amazing site.

 We went to this site for a weekend with friends. We have been a few times before and try to go most years as it is close to home so very convenient for weekend camping.

The site has great facilities with a farm to walk round and lovely woodland walks to wander. There is a small shop which is well stocked with fresh bread and croissants for sale in the morning. There are 2 separate children's play areas and in one field there are ride on toys that any children are allowed to use.

The shower block is slightly dated but is generally kept clean, the showers were nice and hot and there was a free hair dryer that you could use. The only criticism is that there was always a nasty drain smell at the block.

The site has a lovely relaxed feel and we were happy not to leave the site all weekend. We will hopefully be back next summer.

 We stayed here for a weekend and it was lovely. The site is clean and well maintained with two play areas for children. There was a fish and chip van that came on the Saturday night and you could order croissants and breakfast food from the shop. The staff were very friendly, we wished to depart a bit later than usual and they were very accommodating. Nice gravel path to the toilet block so we didn't have to walk through mud to get to the toilets. We would definitely visit this site again.

Reviewer: DawnAnnMason 32 reviews from this member

 We absolutely loved this site, very peaceful - far enough away from the road that the only noise we could hear was the birds. Toilets very clean at all times, as too was the pot wash area. Lovely croissants/pan au chocolat/bread baked fresh to order of a morning. Friendly staff, nothing too much trouble.

We took my Mom also, who doesn't like camping, so she stayed in the on-site B&B which was also great value for money & my Mom tells me the breakfasts were fantastic, with lovely views of the surrounding countryside from her window. We look forward to returning to this site in the future.

Reviewer: Nikko136 53 reviews from this member

 Pitches are of good size and the site is nicely hedged, leaving good views from caravan/motorhome windows. The pitch layout is relatively open but the depth of the pitches leaves adequate privacy. The ‘shop’ in the office appeared to carry most of life’s essentials and offered fresh bakery items to be ordered for breakfast. There are adequate facilities, but………….

Regrettably the site is showing serious signs of neglect – the ladies’ showers had some corroded fittings and the curtains looked stained and uncared-for. We were given a pitch number on arrival and were told where the water taps were located. We drove to the point nearest to our pitch, which had two taps, only one of which had a threaded fitting for a standard hose connector. I connected to that and was about to start filling our tank when my wife (who is somewhat shorter than me) noticed a sign over the tap which is concealed from taller people by a drooping bush. The sign read “Waste water”, and the tap next to it, without a fitting, had “Drinking water” above it. As we couldn’t understand why ‘waste water’ should come through a tap my wife went back to the office to enquire. She was told in a rather abrupt manner that it’s not really suitable for drinking, but what it was wasn’t known. Surely if this water is not potable it should be very clearly marked as such and possibly not located together with a drinking water tap. We used a canister to get water from the tap marked drinking water. The next morning we asked the different member of staff in the office about the 'waste water' tap and the sign, and she didn’t know of the existence of the different taps, and didn’t seem to care about the poor signage either.

Both members of staff we encountered seemed very indifferent to guests, and smiles were nowhere to be seen. No information, verbal or written, was offered on any of the site’s facilities or the surrounding area. We took our lives in our hands and walked down the narrow lane to Charlbury in the evening, sharing it with boy-racers clearly in a great hurry to get to and from the pub. On our return we found a beautiful pathway within the site alongside the road which would have spared us this anxiety for about a third of the way. When we commented that it would be nice if campers were given some information on this route the response was ‘well, you could have found it on the internet’!

This could be a good site once maintenance is improved, something is done about the water issue and staff attitudes are improved.

 Loved this site! Good space between pitches although not marked out. Water and bins close. Really good dog walking trails adjacent. We had electric which was great. No fire pits which would have made this 10/10. Walking distance to Charlbury and pubs. Beer festival on when we were there which was fab! Maybe consider site or local walks map for free. Washrooms decent but not luxury.

All in all a great site.

 Well what can I say, I love this site and have been twice now and stayed on different parts of the park, with a 3rd visit booked already. The staff are very accommodating and helpful at all times.

The site itself is well looked after and clean. It is a very family friendly site and at all times we have never suffered with not getting a good nights sleep, no noise experienced.

The facilities on site are good and I have never queued for a shower or toilet, even when the park is nearly full.

The pitches are one of the best sizes we have been on, we have a large tent and can still park two cars on it as well.

The site is also very dog friendly with some great walks around the site and also open fields down to Charlbury.

I would highly recommend this site as one to visit if looking for a quiet, family friendly, dog friendly site.

 What a lovely campsite!

We stayed here for Spring bank holiday for a family reunion and the campsite managed to pitch us all together. The pitches are well thought out so you don't feel on top of other people.

We had no need to leave the site as it is equiped with woodland walks, farm animals, play areas, a football pitch, tennis courts and a great shop.

The site was friendly and well kept and we will be back.

As I stayed in a caravan I can't comment on the toilet blocks but will say that my cousins said the showers were great.
