Why stay here ...
The Friars Court Island CL is the only site of its kind in Oxfordshire, located on a three-acre island with the river Thames to the south and a backwater to the north.
It's ideally situated to explore the Cotswolds, walking the Thames footpath, or simply as a place to sit, relax, and unwind while watching boats and swans drift by. It's possible to launch dinghies and paddle boards from the riverbank.
All pitches are on grass with river frontage. Fishing is permitted from the 16th June, a local rod license is required and may be purchased on arrival.

Not up to expectations
This CL did not live up to our expectations of a £12.50 per night for a non-electric site. On arrival, this CL had very long grass and, despite this being cut late on in our stay, it was still long. During the weekdays we were there, RAF planes were flying... Show more

River Retreat
Over the years we have visited the Island CL at Friars Court many times. It never changes and we never tire returning here. The CL offers the essential basics of a CL (fresh potable water, elsan and grey water disposal, rubbish disposal and decent access) yet punches above its status owing... Show more

Best CL we have visited - riverside pitches
We stayed on the huge Cricket Bat Field, which runs along the riverside on the opposite bank to the Thames Path. First time we have been pitch our 7.5m motorhome on a river bank, and sit next to the bank for the evening, with no barriers or passers by. It... Show more

We stayed here a couple of months ago and loved it! We were on the Island part of the CL which I would definitely recommend, and parked up just metres away from the Thames. It was lovely to wake up to the view of the river and we... Show more

A very unique site
We actually stayed on the Cricket Bat field site which is operated by the same owners and just a few hundred yards further down the river, but I also took the chance to have a good look around the Island site and make a video of both sites (links below)... Show more

Messing around by the river
I have just spent a week on this delightful site on an island in the thames, waking up to the sound of ducks or the gentle sound of a narrow boat chugging by. I have nothing negative to say about this site, the local pub made us very welcome and their... Show more
