 We visited this site during half term, and arrived during torrential rain. (thank you to the fellow camper who loaned us his tent putting up skills and wooden mallet)
The site was a bit boggy, with mud everywhere, but with the torrents falling from the sky this was to be expected.
The check in was quick, with a £10 deposit for the barrier access card and wifi access codes (free wifi whilst we were there which was great for the football and rugby supporters in our group - watching the matches in the afternoons)
The shop has basic supplies and lots of choice of white wines, but only one red wine (sob!), bacon but no sausages. Bread / croissants etc had to be ordered the day before, for collection in the morning.
There are several showers and loos in the gents (urinals, hand basins and hair dryer also), and I presume similar in the Ladies.
There is a laundry with washing machines and tumble dryer. A games room with things like air hockey (not working) and some other stuff but we didn't try the others.
Wash up areas and toilet emptying areas are with the toilet blocks.
Water pipes are positioned around the site, and bin areas are also fairly frequently positioned around the site.
Showers are the push button type, with the time set between 10 and 20 seconds (depending on which shower you get). There's a door hook and a stool to put stuff on, with the dressing area separated by a shower curtain. Loads of hot water and no-one had to wait for a shower or the loo at any time.
Kids play area near us was good with a slide, swings, roundabout, climbing frames. Also large chess and draughts board games.
There were other play areas and games but we didn't look at those.
There are walks from the campsite through woods, trails, passed farm animals with a weird looking pig that looked like a cross between a sheep and a pig with a ginger perm (we reckoned it was a shig!)
Kids loved it, and so did the adults, even though it rained for 2 of the 4 days we were there.
Any staff we came into contact with were great, helpful and smiling.
Nice site with lovely villages nearby, easy access to nearby larger towns too.

Having stayed here last year we couldn't wait to return as my previous review will prove. I've just returned from my return trip to Cotswold View and I am disappointed.
Check in was quick and easy but there was no clear guidance as to where pitches began and ended, which resulted in some campers grabbing a little bit too much of a pitch.
The three pitches that hooked up to the one electric supply box all had problems with the supply and we all experienced the same rude and arrogant man telling us it was our hook up leads at fault, not his supply. The couple two pitches up from us even went to Oxford to get a new lead to find out that it was actually a problem with the sites supply.
The shower block was kept clean but a few silly things like one of the soap dispensers was empty all weekend, one of the grates was missing off of the shower drain (which my soap fell down) and the push button shower only lasting for 4 seconds. Its the silly things that really start to niggle.
When I left this morning I handed my gate pass in and received my deposit back, all the while being made to feel like an inconvenience. I didn't get any enquiries as to whether or not I enjoyed my stay.
It is such a shame as this is a lovely site, my boys loved both the playgrounds and the dog walk is fantastic, but, I don`'t expect to receive hostility instead of hospitality. I will not be returning.

A very good site with very good facilities - An abundance of hot water, site was in very good condition considering the wet weather we have been having. Plenty of things to do in the area also farm animals for the children too see and a woodland trail with activity equipment to get fit whilst on your walk.
Very helpful staff that couldn't do enough for you, Great location - showers and toilet facilities always clean - Well worth a visit and we will be going back in the future.
Great for all the family.

Having read the recent reviews and having stayed here recently and many times before i have to say that this is not the site I first visited 6 years ago.
I think because this site has been so good for so long that an air of complacancy has been allowed to grow. This visit saw the site the emptiest i have known yet the weather was roasting.
The grass pitches were overgrown, yet again the toilet block had drainage problems.
It is such a shame that the site is getting negative reviews as I love visiting here. Lets hope the people that matter read these reviews and act now. Please please build a separate shop and booking in building.

Lovely site. Stayed there for the weekend with wife, 11 year old and dog.
Pitched next to children's park, wasn't too bad for noise. My pitch was a little un-grassy for the tent to sit on, however pitch was nice and big and had bush in-between.
Area about is great and the wood walk for the dog is superb, nice little shop, staff friendly, not much going on in charlsbury, is about a 15/20 min walk, but is nice.
Was concerned initially as there seemed to be big groups for a meet up, however everyone was friendly and there wasn't much noise at all after half ten.
Showers were too hot and powerful, but that really is the least of worries, super site!

me and my wife have just returned from 2 night weekend break at cotswold view site, this was our first visit and it wont be the last, the site is on the edge of charlbury (15 minute walk downhill 20 minute back uphill).
The site is spotless large pitches we were on hardstanding plenty of room and the grass around was so lush.
The toilet and shower block were a little dated but very clean and the showers had red hot water. The shop was small but quaint, fresh bread and pastries in the mornings were so fresh.
The site had plenty of activities for children, there are farm animals and walks around the site.
The village of charlbury is beautiful great views, 3 pubs the bull is very nice, the rose and crown is the locals pub great ales, then there is the bell which I would not recommend not much choice of beers.
There is a train station in the village that runs every hour to Oxford and only takes 18 minutes, we went for the day well worth a visit.
We will be returning to this beautiful site and village again next year.

This is a superb family caravan site. Very relaxed, with large pitches and plenty of trees. Friendly staff and handy shop with larger Co op in Charlebury.
Lots to do for children and great for dog owners with many woodland walks. Farm animals to view. Will return again and again.
Toilet blocks could do with a facelift but are clean and functional. Extremely relaxing and welcoming family site with much to do both on site and in area.
Excellent on site fresh baked bread and croissants which are FAB but best to book to ensure availability.

Lots of pluses and a couple of minuses for me.
As far as facilities go this site has thought of everything. The shop is small but the stock is well thought out. There is a tumble dryer and washing machine available and a freezer. Showers and toilets were kept clean, and the water was nice and hot. No charge for showers and hairdryers but tumble dryer and washing machine are £2 each.
The people running it were very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful lunch in the Bell in nearby Charlbury and stumbled across a beer festival in Leaford.
It was the first time we had used a hookup and it was well worth it.
The wifi is free but not very usable. I don't think you can use it for anything you have to sign into like facebook or twitter.
The let down for me was how crammed together the pitches were. It's the smallest pitch size we've come across so far, and our friends pitch was in a corner. This meant it was slightly smaller still, and blocked off by the first tent going up the other side.
Also the tents and caravans were mixed in together. There did seem to be slightly less tolerance from those with caravans than those with tents. Perhaps we were just unlucky with our neighbours.
The closeness of everybody also meant that you lost that feeling of being outside in space and air that I love about camping.
For pitch size, and for the mixing up of tents and caravans, we have marked the site facilities down, but everything else was great.

Love this campsite - so much so we are hoping to go seasonal next year! Staff very friendly & helpful. Shower & toilet block always exceptionally clean & warm.
Shop well stocked with option to order daily papers and pastries. Children always love the play parks and forest walks. Only down side is a horrid smell as you walk near toilet area (would hate to have a pitch near there!)
Grass is always kept short and well kept and overall always looks clean & tidy.
The toys in the under 5's section could do with replacing as most of them were broken - which was a shame!
We didn't find the campsite noisy at night but was awoken at 6am from children playing in the park in the mornings - way too early!
Would highly recommend this campsite!

We enjoyed a 2 night stay at Cotswold View and really enjoyed it. For quite a large site it was generally very quiet and incredibly well kept. The children's play area was very good which kept my lads entertained for most of the weekend.
We arrived early and received a warm and friendly welcome and given clear instructions on how to get to the pitch. Our pitch, which was nice and level, was three pitches in one large area, which was more than ample and caused us no problem.
There is also a small farm which you are able to walk around. The Farm's Donkey braying in the morning was a pleasant alternative to a Rooster.
There is a Co-op in Charlbury which is only a 5 minute drive away.
The toilet blocks and washing up facilities were clean and well kept, although they are beginning to show their age.
All in all, this is a fantastic site which I would return to. My parents enjoyed it so much, they are going back in September.
